Default Floyd Rose Bridge help...

Hi all.I went to Davis to restring my floyd rose guitar today really disappointing . When i got back home i realized that the 1st high E string is soundless/toneless and so is the B string when i press on the frets are all dead notes the actions seems to be too low and my friend's guitar got fret buzz after having the restring service too from Davis(The guitar was professionally setup before the restring ).So anybody know how can i adjust the bridge or something ? Thanks

Adjusting the Floyd Rose need experience. Otherwise, you will make things worse.

maybe your bridge angle has changed while the strings were changed, probably downwards, causing the string to go too low
