How to Fix a Computer Screen That Turned Grey
Look at the back of your monitor just below the socket for a voltage selector. Set the voltage appropriate to your country, if it isn't in the correct position already. For a monitor in USA, the voltage is 115 volts.
Check the display cable to make sure it is properly connected with the metal connector engulfing the display socket on the computer.
Disconnect the monitor's display cable and look at its pins. If any of them appear bent, straighten them out by disconnecting the power cable from your monitor and sticking a thin metal object next to the pin and levering the pin until it appears straight again.
Adjust the brightness and contrast knobs on the monitor. The settings may have been at minimum or maximum; adjusting the knobs will help return the settings back to an optimal position.

How to Use Kindle on an iPhone (7 Steps)
Turn on your iPhone and tap the 'App Store' icon on the home screen.
Tap the 'Search' icon at the bottom of the screen and type 'Kindle' into the search field. Tap the Kindle app that appears in the search results. It will likely be the first app on the list.
Read about the app and tap the button with the work 'Free' on it to initiate the download. You will be prompted to enter your Apple ID and password.
Tap the 'Kindle' app icon on the screen of the iPhone. Enter your Amazon account email address and account password. If you don't have an Amazon account, you can sign up for one free of charge at the Amazon website.
Head to Amazon on your computer to purchase books or download free books. Visit the Kindle store and choose the books that you'd like to buy. If you don't have one-click ordering set up, set it up by adding a credit card and billing information. You only need to do this one time. When you select a book, choose to sync it with your iPhone; if you have more than one iPhone or Kindle attached to your account, choose the device from a drop-down menu that allows you to designate where to send the book.
Return to the iPhone and open the Kindle app by tapping the 'Kindle' icon on the home screen. The book you just ordered from Amazon on your computer downloads to the iPhone app immediately.
Tap the name of the book from the list in the Kindle app. The book opens at the beginning or where you left off when you last read it. Move from page to page by swiping your finger across the screen or tapping the edge of the page. Tap at the bottom of the page to bring up a toolbar that allows you to change the font size and access extra features for the book.

How to Improve the Wi
Click the 'AirPort' icon and select 'Turn Wi-Fi Off.' Wait five to 10 seconds, then select 'Turn Wi-Fi On' to reset your wireless adapter. If you leave the MacBook Air's Wi-Fi adapter on for several hours or even days, it becomes overloaded with information and may need to be restarted.
Select the name of an encrypted wireless network with a password you know from the 'AirPort' menu. Although connecting to an unencrypted network requires less effort since you don't need to input a password, using unencrypted networks places you at greater risk for a slow connection due to an excessive number of users.
Connect to a different network if the one you usually use is slow or completely inactive. If another network works on your MacBook Air, even if you don't plan to use it regularly, it shows that the problem is with the connection and not the MacBook Air.
Sit as close as possible to the router for the wireless connection you use. The less distance the signal has to travel, the higher quality it is. This optimizes the speed and consistency of the Internet on the MacBook Air.
