Replaced zd8000 motherboard and need some troubleshooting help please............

Hello All,
 I just replaced the motherboard on our HP zd8000 (pentium 4, 3.0ghz, 2gb ram, Win XP) with a used but tested good MB and need some help with the following.
1) I now cannot play DVD movies as the error no "dvd decoder" present which was not an issue before?  Where can I go to get a free decoder that will work, as Windows only shows paid versions?  We have the dvd burner/reader with lightscribe. SOLVED! CNET HAD DECODER.
2) The internal temperature, according to SpeedFan, is running around 140 degrees with just some Internet browsing.  Is that a normal temperature because I only have one of three fans running on the laptop?  Is there anyway of making all three fans run to be sure there are no issues?  I am positive I hooked up everything but again only one fan seems to be running?
3) I discovered some of the pins were damaged in the card reader.  I may get the Seller to give me a discount, no intention of tearing it apart simply for that, but is there any concern of short or otherwise?
4) Our battery stopped charging years ago, these were notorious for such, but I purchased a new one last year and hoped the replacement MB would allow charging again.  No such luck though.  Is there anything I can do, BIOS update etc, to make the battery charge?
5) Anything you folks can think of for me to test to insure the new motherboard is working properly?
Thanks, Ralph 
P.S. This was a correct replacement board according to MB serial numbers.  Everything else seems to be functioning properly other than mentioned.  Our graphics went out on the original MB.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Some of the wires had pushed out of the harness that connected the other two fans.  I double checked and re-attached those so now the laptop is running quite a bit cooler.
EVERYTHING IS GOOD TO GO!

    I have been thrown our exisiting phone infrastructure and what do you know we are having some issues.
    We have a new series of DID's and when they are dialed from our directory they go anywhere? Not routing to the proper extension.  Translation pattern looks good in comparison to the extensions that are working.

    First thing to know is that everything that has a DN can be used for routing, so it's a good idea to look at the route plan report to find matches.
    If you can't find an exact match, chances are you're hitting something with wildcards ie X, [1-2], etc
    An easy way to check routing if you're new to the game is to use DNA

  • I need some photoshop help, please?

    i am trying to make a .gif, but when ever i go to "File --> Import --> Video Frames to Layers" and select the video, the little video box thing is blank
    ( see screenshot here:http://i53.tinypic.com/vdi877.jpg ) and yes, the video is in one of the acceptable formats. can you help me please?
    oh yea, and i have Vista (in case that matters)

    OK, "AVI" is but a container - a "wrapper," if you will. An AVI can contain almost anything, and much of it cannot be used by Photoshop. See this ARTICLE for much more background. There are tips in that article on "peeking inside" the wrapper. Please let us know what is inside those files, and someone can likely help you.
    Good luck,

  • I'm a newbie and need some basic help...

    I'm a newb trying to teach myself Director. I'm trying to
    make a menu and I'm having some problems....
    I have 3 main buttons. When you click one of the main
    buttons, 3 sub buttons pop up next to the button pressed. When one
    of those sub buttons is pressed, a box pops up to the right of the
    sub buttons and has a list inside containing links to movies. When
    one of the links is pressed i want the movie to take the place of
    the links in the box. When the movie is done playing it will
    disappear and show the links again.
    I uploaded what I have done here...
    http://www.lohrmandesign.com/uploads/Template.dir
    If you look at it, could you tell me what I've done
    correctly, and how I should go about implementing the rest of the
    menu? I imagine you have to use director movies within the main
    director movie, but I haven't figured out how to implement that. Or
    possibly use the .visible command? Thanks for any help...Online
    resources and examples are scarce for Director it seems.
    And I'm not sure if i have to upload all the pics for you to
    view my movie correctly, If I do, just let me know...

    pretty simple. First of all, though, can you clarify what you
    mean by
    "movie," because Director's terminology makes it kind of
    confusing. Are
    you speaking of a Director movie, or digital video?
    If you want to jump to a different Director movie, simply do
    something
    like this:
    on mouseUp me
    go to frame "StartMovie" of movie "Option1"
    end
    To get back to your menu, just use an exitFrame command at
    the end of
    the Director movie that takes you back there.
    If you're referring to starting a digital video, just put
    your video
    somewhere in the same Director file your menu is in, label it
    with a
    marker, and simply jump to that marker. Like this:
    on mouseUp me
    go to frame "Video1"
    end
    To get back to your menu at the end of the video do something
    like this:
    on exitFrame me
    if sprite(5).movieRate = 1 then
    go to the frame
    else
    go to frame "Menu"
    end if
    end
    Hope that helps.
    Sorry, I should have clarified...When you click on a sub
    category button, a Quicktime video will play, not a Director
    "movie"...Thanks for the help! using the method you described, that
    would make the menu disappear when the video is played, and reload
    the menu when the movie is done, right? I want the menu to stay
    visible while the movie is playing...

  • TS1398 I have tried everything of the above multiple times!!! previously the wi-fi was connecting perfectly in all locations. Now it is Unable to connect to the WI-FI and even if it does is for 2 sec. I need some further help please.

    My wifi does not seem to work.
    It always appears the "unable to join the network ....." error message, as in the past it worked perfectly fine.
    I have tried all the "apple support" options. I have even restored my iphone fully.
    Sadly there is no apple store near by.
    Do you suggest anything else!?
    Thanks !!

  • Lenovo A6000 Softbricked? Needs some serious help--Please

    Hi My A6000 phone got factory reset and then I tried to recover some lost pics...but I was advised that my phone needs to be rooted first, so the software opened kingo root soft, It showed me the message that phone has been rooted and when it rebooted there was a notification of software update which I said ok and ever since then the phone is stuck on system recovery mode (not sure if it is called soft brick or not) and I have tried many things including choosing all the options starting from reboot system now, apply update from ADB, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update from sdcard but nothing seems to work!!! oh I for got to mention on the top of the screen it says  Androoid system recovery <3e>Kraft -A6000_S035_150507 and then gives all the option and i have tried this following : https://boycracked.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/unbrick-lenovo-a6000/ but some how for the first solution it keeps on saying download failed, emergency recovery download failed...anyways it does not work  Is there any soultion to this!!! Please help if there is one!

    it worked the link from boycracked (mentioned above )actually worked the trick was to hold vol up+down key (while the phone is off) and then insert the usb into your computer, secondly my computer kept of saying that qualcomms --digital signatures not verified and the port is supposed to be Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 where as mine showed up to 9091, to solve this I uninstalled the drivers and then disabled digital signatures (use goggle how to disable signatures verification on whichever windows you are using) and it worked fine. Thank you all

  • I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit content without actually downloading the explicit songs?

    I'm new to itunes and need some help.  Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

    See if there's a non-explicit version and download that?  Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
    Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense.  You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks?

  • Need some quick help - fairly urgent!

    I've just taken over a new job and have been the task of finishing the new brochure for Christmas, there's not a lot to do but a lot of the measurements need changing
    This is the layout I'm dealing with..
    All the boxes have been made in Illustrator
    The text has been done in In'Design and it seems every piece of text is it's own box if that makes sense
    My question is, if I select the whole specification box - copy, paste it into Adobe Illustrator and change the text there, then paste the edited box back into In-Design, will I lose quality when it gets printed?
    I'm worried if I do it this way it may come out blurred? Or am I just worrying about nothing?

    I couldn't find an Illy file in the end and have ended up creating tables in ID to replicate what was already there!
    Didn't take very long and I guess if I didn't do it now, I'd come across the same situation next time!

    There certainly are viable "quick fix" solutions proposed here, and if the dealine is looming and this file never needs to be touched again I might be tempted, but they are only postponing the pain for a file that needs periodic updates, and I wouldn't waste effort on them, myself, when that time can be put toward a proper rebuild now if that's the ultimate goal.
