What could be wrong with it? Ebay ibook

I got this 14" ibook g3 from ebay and its symptoms are, as described from the listing text, that " Then I did a bad thing. I plugged in a cable into the AV port with both the computer and the receiver where on at the same time. Suddenly all I got was gibberish colors on the screen. I almost cried. I tried the monitor out jack and lo and behold- it worked! Not on the built in screen mind you, but at least I could plug it into a monitor and still use it. "
What could have gone wrong with it? If the problem is the motherboard, could I use one out of a 12" g3 ibook and put it into this 14"? I've seen the motherboards and the seem to be the same size and everything on them seems to be located in the same manner. Are the lcd data cable hookups on the 14" motherboard the same as those on a 12" ibook board?

Hi, What are some of the incompatabilities I will face? Are they just cable lengths? I've compared the sizes and shapes of the motherboards seem to be the same, for example, the connections to the battery, for a 14" ibook have an extension from the motherboard to the battery. I could easily remove the 12" existing connector and replace it with the 14" connector and extension. If the incompatabilitites can be worked around I would really like to try because I have no money to dish out for a new motherboard. Just as long as they don't involve the re-aranging of components like resistors and chips. I am very good with a soldering iron though.

Which OS X is installed?

My macbook won't turn on. I've tried several different charges. What could be wrong with it?

My macbook eont turn in. I've tried several chargers with the same result each time. The light will be momentarily green then go off completeky (charger light). Its three years old. What could be wrong with it? Also, the closest apple store is two hours away. Does bestbuy fix macs?

Try a SMC reset:

If no success you will have to bring the MBP in for repair. Note that genius bar technicians are trained by Apple, thus your chance for a correct diagnosis and repair is better there than at an non Apple place.

What could be wrong with my iPad and how do I fix it?

My iPad has suddenly started running games slowly and is no longer running videos. I have not updated to iOS 7 yet and I have 7.8 GB available. What could be wrong and how do I fix it?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

What could be wrong with this resolveNodes / for script?

Hello, I am stumped and would greatly appreciate some help here.
I have a table that has the ability to add additional rows.
Each row includes a "delete" button to clear the row.
I'd like to hide the "delete" button when another button is clicked.
There are a variable amount of rows at any given time, so I can't target the button directly.
I have used the "for" method before, but it doesn't seem to be able to find the nodes in this case.
My hierarchy looks like this:
form1
- productSubform
- - productJobTable
- - - productJobRow
- - - - deleteBtn
my Javascript looks like this:
var nodes = form1.productSubform.productJobTable.resolveNodes("productJobRow[*]");
var len = nodes.length;
for(var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
nodes.item(i).deleteBtn.presence = "invisible";
Can anyone see what could be wrong here?
Thank you in advance.

This code worked for me...
var rows = form1.p1.Table1.resolveNodes("Row1[*]");
var len = rows.length;
for (var i=0; i<len; i++) rows.item(i).Button1.presence = "invisible";
When I used nodes as the variable name, I got this error: "Invalid property set operation."

What could be wrong with my MBP' fan?

My Late 2008 MBP's right fan is constantly running higher than the left fan. The left fan's rpm is idling at around 2k rpm which is normal but the right fan is running between 7-8k rpm. I also noticed that when i put my hand underneath the MBP the fan stops and when i rmeove my hand the fan runs again. It seems to operate on and off with my hand being place underneath the MBP. I've opened it up and cleaned it out and its still doing this. I've done an smc reset which didn't help either. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this issue?

What could be wrong with my Zyxel P660R-D1 or my IMac G5?

Hello,
I just got my dsl set up and am returning my LinkSystems router because it supposedly was defective, according to Earthlink.net, but I'm using the Zyxel P660r-D1 modem and it works fine except at times I can't access the internet and my "Mail" program is not always responding. When I unplug the modem as instructed and wait 30 seconds and plug it back in I can connect just fine. But, I shouldn't have to do this on a regular basis, should I? I'm wondering if there could be other conflicts that are making this happen such as: I don't put the computer to sleep, but I do put the display to sleep after 1 hour. Could this affect my internet connection? Do I need to have different info in the Mail program's menus? Nothing has been changed there and of course I was using dialup.
I am new to dsl, so I'm not sure what could cause the connection problem and as I said the modem seems to work well when it works...fast! but, I wonder if there's something on the Apple end that I could do to get a constant, steady modem connection?
Any advice would be appreciated!
lucin

Thank-you and I'm glad to hear that Zyxel is first rate. I think the problem may be that we had one of the filters in the wall socket and when I put it in the phone instead we seem to have a steady signal. Not 100% sure if this is the fix, but really hope it is. I was reading about filters and we didn't know just how to attach them or what they do. If this is the fix I'll write back. I will keep your suggestions in mind as well and thanks so much for them! Happy New Year!

Can anyone help diagnose what could be wrong with my form?

Hello,
I created this form last year and it was working just great. I emailed it to the main user and he used it successfully for months. His computer crashed and he had to reload stuff. Since then there has been trouble. The forms looks just fine to me. I email it to him - or anyone including myself - or even save it to disk and try to open it and the weirdest thing happens. All the typewritten stuff is gone and all that shows up are the boxes etc.
This (for me) was a complicated form and I have no idea how to diagnose and correct this trouble. I don't understand how it could look fine on my screen - but when I email it and then open the same file all the text is gone. I don't know what I am missing. Any help would be so appreaciated. I know just enough to have created this form and that's about it.
Thanks in advance!
Eileen

Does the main user of your form have Reader or Acrobat? Reader does not save data in the form fields (only view and print) unless the PDF has been Reader-enabled in Acrobat 8 Pro. or Acrobat 9. Also, if the form was Reader-enabled, and the main user did a Save As then the form will no longer be Reader-enabled.

What could be wrong with CRYSTAL?

i am repeating my question in hope that someone will volunteer some help as the songs are important one.
these 2 songs that contain CRYSTAL ( 2 years old ) aer the only ones that seem NOT to open/launch. One as it loads reaches CRYSTAL and then halts and then GB crashes.
i then download CRYSTAL again and it reoccurs again. both songs seem be corrupted with this Crystal software instrument track.. any ideas of what to do please

Here is a long shot. This directly from the Crystal site.
*"Crystal 2.1 Presets*
*The factory presets have been changed in Crystal 2.2. If you have a song which depends on the presets from version 2.1, you can load this bank into version 2.2."*

Otherwise you might want to contact someone at the Crystal URL and detail the problem to them.

The internal speaker stopped working in my 4th gen ipod touch, what could be wrong with it?

the internal speaker in my 4th gen touch stop working, i can plug the headphones in and it still plays sound through them, when i unplug the headphones it wont play sounds outloud how would i fix it?

Try the sandard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup[
- Restore to factoy defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you very likelu have a hardware problem. Likely a problem with the headphone jack. An appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store would be a good idea.

Java newbie (what's could be wrong with this program?)

First things first, I just started programming with JAVA recently so please forgive me if it seems stupid. Since I am so relatively new to the language, in order to get a feel for it I started running some simple scripts. I can compile and execute most of them without any problem. However when I tried to compile this one I get a couple of errors I am not familiar with. So my question is what could be wrong and what needs to be changed in order to get it to work? or if the syntax is correct could there be some other problem?
On a side note, I am coming more from a C and C++ background so if anyone can recommend a way to start learning the JAVA language from a prespective in C that would be highly appreciated.
System Environment: I am using j2sdk1.4.2 on a Windows 2000 machine running SP3.
If anything else needs further clarification please let me know.

limeybrit9,
This importing certainly seems to be the problem, I'm still not used to how compilation works within the JAVA language, I'll play around with it a bit and see if I can get it to work correctly.
bschauwe,
The C++ approach has certainly clarified some of the points. I guess I will be sticking to that.
bsampieri,
You were correct on the class looking rather generic, but as I mentioned before I was just sort of tinkering to see if I could get it to work.
Thanks to all for the help, very much appreciated.
