What i meant with the headboard thing is i want the spacer to cover the edge of the cloth on the headboard.. covering it with electrical tape, you've never seen my touchscreen monitor and its tapedness...Nd4SpdSe wrote:Don't have to make it look like the headboard, make it look like the bracket that it clips onto
1) take the bracket, trace the base onto a piece of wood that's the thickness you need
2) cut it out
3) drill holes to allow the screws to pass through
4) wrap the ouside of the wood with electrical tape to hide the wood and since the bracket is black, it'll match
and done....
Too much white is that you're contrast is up too much. Turn down the contrast, turn up the brightness (or was it the other way around)
Most optical disk players need to be straight, but not level. So can be standing up, on it's side, but can't be angled. The only ones that are good any direction are laptop drives.
What could maybe help is instead of making a wood spacer, make spacers out of rubber, and put them on the other side too, and should help dampen vibrations that would cause skipping when the unit is angled.
The interference you see from using the Xbox/PS2 is actually caused by running them from the "unclean' power of using a simulated signwave inverter. Can't get rid of that unless you go with a DC-DC power supply or get a true signwave inverter. Part reason why the internal DVD doesn't display this.
I would HIGHLY recommen getting a new and a good battery. Should be able to get over an hour of playtime off battery alone. CarPC with the system and a 400w inverter got me 2 hours on a healthy battery.
I had one of those Canadian Tire inverters, was an 800w (ran the 15" LCD plus the PS2 and extra power just in case for extra work, like worklights and soldering irons) It was always a pain to go into the trunk to turn it on so I jumpered 2 wires to the conections of the switch inside the inverter and ran a momentary switch up front. Just had to remember how many seconds to hold it.
Lol it already has a momentary and agreed that is a crappy place to go get it. i'd just need to relocate the switch. The 400 Watt ran my PS3 and the RCA trufalt tv (the one that i had the ps2 on in a picture) Just fine it had one line of interference, OH! and the small dvd player i had in the trunk with the ps3 on it (picture reference) worked just fine. but when i run it on those it just has a constant interference and makes it unwatchable, On the video I meant to say amperage when i was starting my car when starting the xbox and my inverter killed it, the new consoles draw somethin aweful for amps on first startup.
My battery's probably fine but i need to clean my grounds, 94' Car + Untouched Grounds + old batt (yes still a suspect) = Crappy a-- power!!
The sad part of the DVD issue is the mounting system in these is identical to a laptop, however the laser they used is just a typical dvd player POS... But they work just fine with my original tires my flat spotted one kinda screwed everything up, including but not limited to my back...
It has no settings for av Input which is a common problem of using a DVD player as a moniter, the settings it does have only work for the internal DVD and the USB & Card Reader. (I shall look again though) and i believe you have it the right order, Contrast is the Intensity of things, and brightness is the scale to which the colour levels are amplified? (no idea how to say this other than that)
Oh and i have a question... i have a monitor here, that has a external power brick, that outputs 12volt dc at 3.5 amps, is there a way i could run it off a lighter socket? Its my understanding that the car actually put out closer to 13 - 14 volts when is running, (I don't know the amperage) correct?
Thanks for Trying to help , (I do apologize if i come off as rude, being a loner really is not helping me there...)
Well I have some spring updates... What new Right? Two forms of New. actually 3. There's off topic as well. I will spoil them for some interaction! (EDIT:if this site had spoilers)
But I fixed It
(NAH Not while Driving... I would Die...) Gonna buy it if I Can find it in Calgary HMV's site says they have it but their website hasn't been overly reliable lol.
