Hi there, my name is Ben Tallamy and I'm part of a tiny UK based dev team called 'TallHead' who are working on a cinematic mystery game that shares more than a little DNA with Her Story and Twin Peaks.



Cradlemoor is an interactive mystery game, which casts you as the detective, inviting you to explore a labyrinth of documents, photos, videos and audio clips via a virtual desktop computer.
The game is aimed at both traditional and non-traditional gamers - so if you can use a mouse, you can play the game.

It features a mix of videoclips, audio, photos and documents as well as an intereactive messenger system.







Here's a link to the project on kickstarter where there's videos etc - we're currently raising funds to cover the last bits of filming and to act as a match fund for a future arts council grant:

Basically any suggestions for places to get publicity would be very much appreciated!

How to Fix a Shark Vacuum That Has Lost Suction - Troubleshooting & Self-Repairing Guide

Shark vacuums are known for their longevity. A good unit can usually last for years on end before it starts to run into problems. But unfortunately, as durable as they are, Shark vacuums aren’t indestructible. They can still run into problems from time to time, and one of the most common issues reported to us from our readers is suction loss.

From The King Live’s editorial is an article on Shark vacuum no suction: How to troubleshoot & fix your vacuum cleaner. No need to send it to a repair center!

Clear Out the Vacuum’s Head

A clog inside of the vacuum’s head can block the vacuum’s airway, making it lose suction. Whenever suction loss happens, you should always check the vacuum’s head first.

Inspect it carefully and see if you can find any piece of debris or hair tangle that is jamming up either the vacuum’s airway or the brush. Clear them out. You can use your hands or, if it’s too difficult, you can enlist the help of tools like pliers and scissors.

If you still can’t reach the clog or the jam, disassemble the brush. The brush of most Shark vacuums can be removed from the cleaning head. Check your user’s manual to see how. Once you’ve gotten the brush out, it should be a lot easier to clean.

Test the vacuum again afterward to see if the issue has been resolved.



Empty the Dust Cup

Another place to check is the dust cup. If it’s too full, all of the dirt and debris would clog up the airway and make the vacuum lose suction. It’s as simple as cleaning out the cup to get the suction back, in this case.

Clean the Air Filter

The air filter is a critical component of the vacuum that a lot of people forget to maintain. They need to be cleaned out periodically. If not, dirt and all manners of detritus are going to clog them up. Since the air filter is part of the vacuum’s airway, if it is clogged, there won’t be any suction.

Consult your user’s manual to see where it is and remove it from the vacuum. Usually, the air filter is right next to or inside of the dust cup.

Depending on the model, the filter can either be washable or replaceable. If it is washable, you can simply run it through the tap, then reinstall it. In case it’s not, you will have to buy a replacement filter.

Check for Air Leaks

If your Shark vacuum is very old, there’s a good chance that it has been scratched, cracked, or dented. If the damages are severe enough, there may be an air leak.

Check the vacuum’s body and hose carefully to see if there’s any crack or dent on the body. If the damage is small enough, you could probably fix it with some duct tape. But if the damage is too severe, maybe it’s time to search for a new vacuum cleaner. It’s just not worth it.



Conclusion

We hope this guide has been useful for you in fixing up your Shark vacuum. Usually, suction loss is a pretty easy and fast fix. No need to bring it to a professional repair center.

However, if you went through the entire list and the vacuum is still not functioning properly, we recommend bringing it to a professional. Alternatively, consider getting a new replacement.
