Unresolved Hyperlinks error message

I am having a horrible time exporting a document to ePub.  Initially I was getting dozens of Text Anchor errors, mainly TOC. I could not find any solution that worked in any forums or articles. So, I thought I would try deleting all of the bookmarks, hyperlinks, anchors...everything....and start fresh since it isn't a terribly huge book. I took everything out and tried an epub export and got the error below.  I thought maybe it is because it is seeing urls that aren't converted. So, I tried converting them, and the error remains. I have no idea how to even find these hyperlinks since it's just numbers.  I'm at my wit's end!

Thanks. I am using InDesign 2015.2 with Windows 10. I am exporting to fixed layout ePub 3.

I have since gone back to the original file and made some adjustments to anchors and there are no errors popping up on export. I think part of my original problem was that I didn't exclude the final page which was the InDesign generated TOC. I don't know why exactly. My navigation is via Bookmarks and that is all working fine. 

I validated (thanks for the tip) with the idpf online validator. The only error showing up when I validate is the following which I don't know how to find:

OEBPS/2016_Winter_COABE_journal_electronic3-67.xhtml

12204Error while parsing file 'value of attribute "src" is invalid; must be a URI'

Now I have a new issue. I viewed it in Chrome Readium (which is what I had the best luck with for the last issue--my first epub) and the body text is all garbled.  It using a text style in Minion Pro (OTF) with no changes to this style since the last issue. Pages are also taking forever to load compared to last time.

To start?

Which version of InDesign and OS?

Is it a reflowable text ePub?

Are you exporting to ePub 3?

What does it state when you validate your ePub?
