Melody, i know i am a pest but you probably know that i am a " magnet nut "anyway those magnets that didn't help Alan, may i ask what type they were ? like were they Ceramic[Ferrite Magnets], Cobalt, Neodymium [rare earth magnets] ?

The power [gauss] of the magnet can make all the differance as to whether they work or not, there is a lot of rubbish out there that claim to do wonders.

I think the best magnets are Neodymium, i wouldn't buy any others but them.
