No, a short involves massive amounts of smoke, and usually glowing red wires.
A bad alternator will not give proper power to the vehicle. Dim lights, buzz in the stereo or a dead battery could all be causes of a bad alternator.
An alternator cannot "short" out for years or even minutes. The definition of a short is a wire or circuit touching ground to cause a fuse to blow. The circuit is too "short" for the current to flow through the proper load and back to the battery. The voltage regulator in a alternator can act up from time to time and cause improper charging from the alternator. Or a component of the alternator can go bad and cause a charging system problem intermittently. Your question needs to be explained better to give a better answer.
well if it starts to die it could be the battery goin dead, that could be caused from an alternator or a belt that needs to be replaced that runs the alternator.. or it could also be something electrical.. in your wiring, you could have a short somewhere
no a short term use of ibuprofen shouldn't give you any symptoms but a long term use (as in years) could tear up your stomach and that could cause vomiting but i don't think anything about ibuprofen can give you blood clots NOTED: im not a doctor but i have taken ibuprofen for years
If it is a "physical" failure, it'll likely be the bearings that give out - and most times, most bearings will start making a groaning or humming type sound. If the failure is electrical in nature, it is common for there to be no sounds or symptoms like that to give you fair warning. Low voltage resulting is things like starting problems, battery not charging, dimming lights, will be common symptoms of a failed alternator.
If you have already checked the connections on the battery I would suggest testing the alternator and the battery. If the battery will not take a charge or the alternator will not give a charge you could have similar problems.

you have a week battery contact or your alternator is about to give out on you
The Boulevard of the Allies is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Not knowing what vehicle you have, I will take a stab at this and say that a faulty crank sensor could give you those symptoms.
We need more info. The alternator is necessary, but the starter turns the flywheel to start the engine requiring a good battery. Does the battery turn the engine over, does the engine fire the spark plugs. Is there sufficient gasoline in the tank to start the car? Please give symptoms. Thanks.
