Be very careful about what you are doing. I don't have schematics but from my old college days working on CRT's I'd bet that the section that doesn't light up is connected to either the aquadag, the horizontal/ vertical amp, or both. Don't know how much you know about CRTs, so here is a...

This is a very short range, limited reception antenna. Reason is the lack of gain. Gain is the antennas ability to amplify the RF signal. Although it will work (kind of) it is extremely dependent on location and objects like walls and buildings will block the signal. The website the mod...

RG6 is the industry standard. Most reputable cable companies or satellite companies will replace them for you during the installation process, unless there are extenuating circumstances... such as sealed walls, no attic access, no crawlspace or basement access. The issue isn't weak signal...

Yes. Type Socket 1155 (sandy/ivy bridge) or 1150 (hazwell) into the search bar. Non i3 duals would be called Celeron or Pentium. As long as they fit into the socket, the motherboard should support them. Check the motherboards documentation to be certain.

You might want to call a reputable security firm in your area to sweep the house. I am not saying your ex did anything, but IF he did, and even IF he bought his devices on Ebay, if he's good at hiding things and has a knack for tech, those devices will be very hard for a layman to find. Here...

It could be many different things causing your problem. It could be a source of radio frequency inside the shop is inducing voltage onto the cable. It could be a magnetic device (electromagnet or earth maget) near the amplifier or the wire connecting the headphone jack to the amplifier...

It depends on what your privileges level on that account were. If the account you can no longer log into was the administrator account for the PC, you should probably wipe and reload your operating system. If the account was a user level account, log into the administrator account and you...

Sounds like you might need a reputable repair shop, if your not under warranty. If you want to go it yourself, try replacing the hard drive and reloading windows. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136280

Make sure that when you removed your screen you didn't accidentally unplug your NIC or wireless module. The connectors are very small but when plugged, they shouldn't become unplugged. some manufacturer's put the wireless antenna along the screen edge, so you could have accidentally removed...

On the bright side, the Pentium isn't really that bad. Unless you are using it as a gaming computer, you shouldn't notice a great difference. :)

Acer offers several models of the V3. But more processor equals more money. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/series/aspirev3 If you are asking whether you can upgrade the processor at home, its not a good idea unless you really know what you are doing.

If you still have the original drivers disk, try loading them. This is most likely caused by missing proprietary software on the drivers disk that enables those functions. Hopefully you haven't invalidated any remaining warrantee by replacing the motherboard.

It is a very old application (circa 1998). It may not recognise a second hard drive. Win 98 (what it was originally designed to run under) had a pretty low max storage threshold as I remember. You should really contact Cal Berkley. We are just guessing. They wrote the code. You should...

Wow. Blast from the past. Seti @ Home is a program that acts as a screen saver, utilizing your unutilized computer cycles to parse through radio telescope data looking for repeating signals... ET, basicly. According to the website, the Seti cluster of servers where relocated on 1 through 3...
