Has anyone ever taken a D390 to bits ?
I just bought a 2nd hand one for my 7year old's christmas present;.... BUT the battery's only last for about 5 shots.... I've tried fully charged Ni cd and a brand new set of Duracell AA...After about 5 minutes the battrey check starts flashing red. so I assume there's a short circuit somewher.
As I 'cant take it back' and she's gonna be real p**** off if it doesn't work... i only have one soulution...thats is to take it to bit's to see if there's any thing obvious.
Has anyone had the same sort of problem ? And if so how do I fix it? thanks in advance D

bought an ipod nano video. I downloaded a couple of music videos from limewire just so I could watch em on my iPod. anyway, I know that in iTunes, you gotta convert these videos to fit your iPod, I did, but the prob is, the converted ones has no sound/music! .. I can now copy them to my iPod, but what's the use if there isn't any sound?! HELP. ASAP

I just got a new ps3 (60gb) and first tried guitar hero 3. When I put the disc in, it said I had to update the firmware. So I did, and I keep getting error 8002F14E. I've tried rebooting, unplugging, everything I can think of. It won't let me go back to the menu, I'm stuck at that screen. What should I do?

my mom gave me her old Kodak Easy Share digital camera for Christmas, I love it cause when I take videos it has sound, my old camera did'nt, and I can see my videos and photos on my tv, the only problem I have is the lighting when I am taking a video, if the room I am in has a bright light it is ok but when I move into a different room or away from the light I can't see what I am looking at when I watch the video, how do I keep the subject bright no matter where in the house I go?

Hello,

I currently have about a $700 budget at the current moment, and noticed that futureship has a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT 8MP SLR Digital Camera With 18-55mm USM Kit for sale on boxing day, $400... is this a good deal?

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10097983&catid=22553&logon=&langid=EN

Or should I just save my cash, and keep saving... and maybe order something off of ebay, like a Nikon 40D kit... for around $700 plus shipping

New to photography, so unsure on what is a better camera, and if the rebel XT is something I should go with...

I just got this wonderful home theater projector. I'm the type of person who obsessively has to have back stock on everything I own. Where do I find projector bulbs to have replacements on hand?

I'm getting a Fender electric guitar for the holidays but I can't decide what model to pick. Should I get a Fender Vintage Hot Rod '57 Stratocaster or an Eric Clapton Stratocaster? I love to play tones that range from vintage to metal.

I got this Sony digital camera, and I'm very disappointed. I'm gonna sell it on Ebay. Can someone suggest me a good digital camera? My basic requirements are small, minimum 10x zoom, anti-handshake, capable of taking good night pictures and etc. Money is not a problem. Serious answers please.

Hey,
I am looking to buy a new digital camera so that when I go flying I can take some pictures of my trips to show my friends and family. I fly small planes, and am usually 3000-6000feet away from the ground (in a Cessna 172S if it matters).
I have never owned a digital camera before, so Im not sure whats good and whats bad. I am generally looking to take pictures of everything I can see from the plane, which goes for miles (the scenery i guess?). I have been looking at a lot of different cameras, read hundreds of reviews, but there are so many options and I do not know what i need. I was wondering if I could get some help choosing the right one, or even getting a couple recomendations would be nice so i can look at them myself.
What I think I do need is image stabilization (the plane is kind of shaky sometimes), a lot of optical zoom, and compact. Im looking to sped around $200, but id go up to $300 if it was right (rather spend now than regret it later).
But you tell me
Thanks!

As far as I know, regarding motherboard,
almost all SMT IC components all are black except for MLCC.
Why?
Why not use other else color?
