    no it isn't, there are the questions like, why? I can buy a car dvd player with double screens for 89 dollars or 39 dollars for a dvd player and tv. So why try to convert a regulars dvd player to a vehicle…

    From what I can see this is a quite simple SMPS and only has a single voltage output of 12 volts. If there is further voltage conversion being done it is on the other boards and probably as needed to power…

    no it isn't, there are the questions like, why? I can buy a car dvd player with double screens for 89 dollars or 39 dollars for a dvd player and tv. So why try to convert a regulars dvd player to a vehicle dvd player then add in the price of the of a screen. It would seem just cheaper to buy one with the screen.

    You've made too many assumptions, forgetting the main point being that this is my project and I have my reasons that I don't need to explain to anybody else.  Who says I am going to use this in a vehicle?  Who says I don't already have a display?  Anyway, I can see I will get nothing but ridicule here for suggesting a Ben Heck project.

     

    I like to use what I already have rather than buy something new.  I believe in reuse and conservation.  I believe in the journey rather than the destination.  I enjoy working with my brain and my hands.  Enough said.

        Yes your Project, a project where you made no simple attempt to explain anything but stating the project you want Ben to do. As I said you did not explain why this is a good idea, did not say anything to make any one have a reason to get excited by your idea. You took more intrest in trying to make your self the victim and that none of us " use our brains and hands" to make things.

     

        To enjoying the journey and not the destination, what journey your destination was "Build my idea" with no explaintion to lead us on the journey.

     

         To ridicule is a matter of perspectives. You want to see miss treatment check out the threrad "metered toilet paper" the arthur had a reason to be upset. Still not sure where I ridicule you, I did think your prenstation was lacking and I was hoping you would take up the challenge to explain it but know you just want to be offened and to lash out.

     

       Now to you responding I don't give a flying fig if you do or don't thats your choice. You acted childish in your reponse when I just posted a question on "why this is a good idea."
