Can a TV short out from overuse?
A TV or other electrical device does not short out. It breaks. It is possible for some components to get hot with overuse. Most devices that can get hot usually have a fan or other cooling device to prevent overheating. If the fan malfunctions, things can overheat. If it gets hot enough parts can break down. Capacitors can short, resistors can open up, transformers and coils can melt or burn out, semiconductors can malfunction, printed circuits can separate from the board and touch other component or wires shorting things out and doing other nasty things. Such things are also possible If the device is old enough and components break down.
I had the same problem happen to me. I wasn't sure if it was overuse or if it was just a shortage from old age. Come to find out, it is possible in older televisions.

How do you know if a speaker is magnetically shielded?
What is the same on both sides of any transformer?
frequency. KVA is also same in both side of a transformer!!! KVA means Kilo Volt Ampere.
Multiple subs wired together must be the same coil type and impedance. If they’re not, the power won’t divide evenly between them, and some subs would probably be over-powered while others get under-powered. If you want to run different types of subs in a system, each type needs to have its own separate amp. Then, multiply the number of subs you have by the RMS rating of each, to get their total RMS rating. You want to make sure the amp you choose will supply no more than the sub system’s total RMS rating. Figure out the possible total impedance(s) that the subs can be wired together to form.
(SVC = single voice coil, 1 pair of terminals; DVC = dual voice coil, 2 pairs of terminals.) 1 SVC 2-ohms can only have 2 ohms of impedance
1 SVC 4-ohms can only have 4 ohms of impedance
1 DVC 2-ohms can have 1 ohm or 4 ohms of impedance
1 DVC 4-ohms can have 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance
2 SVC 2-ohms can have 1 ohm or 4 ohms of impedance
2 SVC 4-ohms can have 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance
2 DVC 2-ohms can have 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance
2 DVC 4-ohms can have 1 ohm or 4 ohms of impedance
3 SVC 2-ohms can have 6 ohms of impedance
3 SVC 4-ohms can have 1.3 ohms of impedance
3 DVC 2-ohms can have 1.3 ohms or 3 ohms of impedance
3 DVC 4-ohms can have 2.7 ohms or 6 ohms of impedance
4 SVC 2-ohms can have 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance
4 SVC 4-ohms can have 1 ohm or 4 ohms of impedance
4 DVC 2-ohms can have 1 ohm or 4 ohms of impedance
4 DVC 4-ohms can have 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance Look for an amplifier that can put out power up to the RMS wattage at an impedance load the subs can be wired to form. 8 ohms — figure on the amp putting out half the power it would at 4 ohms
6 ohms — figure on the amp putting out three-quarters of the power it would at 4 ohms
3 ohms — figure on the amp putting out the average of what it would at 2 ohms and at 4 ohms
2.7 ohms — figure the same as for 3 ohms, and add a few watts
1.3 ohms — use the 1-ohm spec and take away a few watts Example:
You have two Alpine S Series S-W8D4 8" subwoofers and you want the right amp for them.
They are DVC 4-ohm subs rated at 300 watts RMS each.
Two 300 watts RMS subs together need a maximum total of 600 watts RMS.
Using the chart in Step 2, 2 DVC 4-ohm subs can be wired together to form a 1-ohm, a 4-ohm, or a 16-ohm load.
The last is too high a load to be practical, so you’ll look for an amp that can put out up to 600 watts RMS into either a 4-ohm load, or a 1-ohm impedance load:
up to 600 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms, or
up to 600 watts RMS x 1 at 1 ohm
Among Crutchfield’s selection of amplifiers you’ll find:
Memphis Audio PRXA600.1 — 600 watts RMS x 1 at 1 ohm
JL Audio JD1000/1 — 600 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms
Kicker KEY500.1 — 500 watts RMS x 1 at 1 ohm
Any one of these high-quality amplifiers would work well with those subs. It doesn’t matter which impedance an amp plays through — 600 watts RMS through a 4-ohm load produces the same volume as 600 watts RMS through a 1-ohm load.
You have a Memphis Audio SRX500D.1 amplifier and you want it to drive two subwoofers
The amp is capable of 350 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms and 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms.
Let’s say you choose to maximize the amp’s potential and want the system to put out 500 watts RMS. This means your subs have to be wired to form a total impedance of 2 ohms.
Two subs on a 500 watts RMS amp will want about 250 watts RMS each.
So you’ll look for subs each rated for 250 watts RMS or more.
Using the chart in Step 3, for two subwoofers, a final 2-ohm load can be achieved with either two SVC 4-ohm subs or two DVC 2-ohm subs.
So, you’ll look for two subs that are either SVC 4-ohms or DVC 2-ohms, rated for at least 250 watts RMS each:
2 SVC 4-ohms, at least 250 watts RMS, or
2 DVC 2-ohms, at least 250 watts RMS

SDS, stands for Surf Dive 'N' Ski
it is a great shop located in many locations
To find Mesprit, you must have captured/defeated Dialga or Palkia, depending on your version of the game. Once you've done that, go to Lake Verity, surf into the cavern, talk to Mesprit and it'll fly off. If you don't have the marking map from the Poketch company, go receive it from the President in Jubilife, so you'll be able to track down Mesprit easier.
If you mean in Platnium version, then it's possibly the same way. Though, that game has yet to come out in America.
Can you do anything to restore a scratched DVD or CD?
You can also buy repair kits at almost any electronics store and over the Internet.
They are relatively inexpensive, easy to use and yes, they do work.
I use them often to fix CD's that are damaged from bouncing around in my CD player in my car (works on DVD's and Roms also).
More info: http://www.ehow.com/how_892_repair-scratched-cds.htm
rub the scratch with a soft cloth with tooth paste on it. rub in the direction of the grooves.
They way that I repair scratched CD's is using a CD cleaner. You can buy them anywhere stores sell computers and things like that. The CD kit (that I have) basically cleans the disc all over leaving it spotless
Can you change a US power supply on a PC to a UK power supply?
Yes. Most Power supplies don't care what frequency they run off, so 50 or 60 is not an issue. If your power supply has a voltage select switch on it, then you are all set: When you plug in to 220v, slide the switch across to 220/240V.
If not, then you will have to swap the power supply for one that does. If your system uses a standard ATX PSU, then it is simple and cheap. If it uses a custom smaller one, then they are more expensive.
The power supply will have a compliance label on it that will specify what it can use. Check that for full details.
Many notebook power supplies can use anything that is vaguely electricity-like. Rub them on your woolly jumper fast enough and they'll probably work. Again, check the label.
Why are my breast growing at 21 years old and I'm not pregnant?
Women continue developing until about 25 sometimes this is due to hormone fluctuations & weight gain if pregnancy isn't a factor
How can connect security camera to internet?
You can purchase security cameras that will do this for you.
They have a wireless adapter which will connect to your existing WiFi system and connect to the internet via your wireless access point.
Alternatively. You can connect a camera via USB adapter for AV input, to your computer. The computer must be online. Sign up to a webcam host site and link to your camera.
What is RMS value of an AC Sinusoidal Waveform and the power they carry?
Hi,
RMS is voltage X .707 and the power is voltage X current.
Hope that helps,

a contactor is generally looks like a small box connected to an electric circuit. it is what controls electricity flow to a motor. in the middle is normally a way to push in the contactor to manually check to see if either the motor works or if you have electricity.
Where should you put rear speakers for surround sound?
Ideally you want them behind you with one to the left of you and the other to the right. You can do a search on the net for surround sound speaker layout and you'll get a couple of examples as to where to put them. If you have satellite speakers for the surround (these would be the smaller speakers) than you will want them mounted on the wall (with speaker mounts due to the positioning of the speakers) so that they are pointed at the location you will be watching television. This goes for all the speakers. The receiver should have a set up feature that will either have you inputing information as to the location of every speaker (distance in feet the speaker is from where you will be sitting) or if you have a higher end model than you might just have to plug in the mic (will come with the receiver) and put it where you will be sitting and let the receiver run through a series of sound checks to figure out the best settings based on your positioning.
Any logical function can be implemented with only NOR gates?
Yes.
_____
A----|_____NOR------Q
This is an inverter. A NOR gate is an OR gate with an inverter on the end, so adding the above configuration after another NOR gate would give you an OR gate.
__
A----|__NOR---\
__ NOR------Q
B----|__NOR---/
This is an AND gate. By adding the inverter, you can get a NAND gate.
A____
|__
_|__NOR----------------\
| | \
| |___ NOR----Q
B __| |___NOR-----\ /
|_____ NOR --/
|_____NOR-----/
By combining an AND gate, an OR gate, and a NAND gate, and canceling out a couple of inverters, you get this operator, which is a XOR gate.
The formatting here is messed up, but if you go to the "improve answer" link, you can see the circuits.
How do you turn off the hourly beep on an Aspen p-jadae watch?
I'm not sure how closely it resembles my Aspen P-JADDC but please see below.
Button Legend:
1 - Illuminate (top left)
2 - Mode (bottom left)
3 - Start / Stop (top right)
4 - Reset (bottom right)
To turn hourly beep / chime on and off:
While holding #4, press #2. You should see the days of the week at the top of the display either show up or disappear.
I hope this helps...
