How do you fry your mobo w/static electricity?

i recently realigned my motherboard and it worked fine before i did realign it.  It's not working at all right now, i can sort of hear it boot up but it won't go to the monitor.  Is my video card fried or my mobo?  I think it may have been static electricity because i was working on carpet X( DOH!  So i want to have my computer back, please help.

Your PSU only has 20A rating on the 3.3VDC rail; for 1GB RAM plus a video card, this is clearly too low, and might be the problem, providing that you haven't fried something already, and something that can happen with a too-low rated PSU even without static electricity.
See my sig for what I run; you should have a supply that's rated 30% or better than your peak usage. Some people run Antec's 430W supply. I recommend no less than the Antec True480. Most people don't realize that the computer is only as good as the power it receives, and skimp on the PSU because it has no "bells and whistles." It's actually the most critical component.
I use the True550 because it can supply 530W independently to the three most important rails, +5, +12, and +3.3. It also gives me plenty of room for upgrades/additions. A bit pricey for power supplies, it, along with a good static kit, is STILL the cheapest insurance to guarantee nothing goes wrong when building/upgrading a new system.

    How do you find your static IP adress?
    I am attempting to run a Minecraft Server Portforwarding

    If you look in System Preferences (under the Apple menu) select the Network pane. Select the network interface you are using from the list on the left - probably AirPort or Ethernet. If you are using Ethernet the IP address will be displayed right there. If AirPort, click on the Advanced... button, then the TCP/IP tab.
    Note that if either of these says Configure IPv4: Using DHCP you do NOT have a static IP address. If you want one you'll have to find out if one is available from your network administrator, change the Configure IPv4 menu to Manually and enter all of the addressing information.
    Note that some Internet Service Providers do not allow running a server on their consumer networks due to the amount of traffic it generates. Check with them first.

    How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click?  (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

    Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

    Go to Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, then Turn Passcode Off will delete all current fingerprints. You can then turn passcode back on and enter fingerprints.
    Rather than deleting, you can also add the same fingerprint a second time via "Add a fingerprint" in Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, then Touch ID.

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

  • How do you change your apple id on your iphone 5

    how do you change your apple id on your iphone 5. I also increased storage and cannot update to latest software upgrade! ANNOYING!!!!
    Yes, I logged in and out of the Ap Store and it is correct on that end. I have signed in on my PC too and connected cell. I am out of tactics to resolve! Please help!

    If your phone is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it to an updated version of the old ID, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
