Coby TFDVD2295 22" LCD TV w/ DVD Player

[Paul678]

Picked this one up tonight for $10, anticipating another
cracked screen....and.....it was a cracked solder
connection on the 3-prong AC plug!

SWWEEEET!!! Didn't even have to buy an over-priced
fuse! The picture is good for such small screen.
This makes up for the last TV!!!

Let this be a lesson to newbies: a totally, completely dead
TV without even the front LED lighting up, can be a super
easy fix! In fact, the more dead the TV, the better chance
it's only a power supply issue.

Problem: the guy didn't have the remote. And the silly
manufacturer didn't put a few more buttons on the built-in
DVD player, so I can only watch a movie straight through.

So I'm going to sell it on Craigslist for minus the $28 that they
will have to spend on Ebay:

Or should I just order this remote myself, and sell it as a complete
set? It will certainly be an easier sell.

What are you experiences with replacement remotes? This Ebay
seller claims, "This remote will work just like the original remote with no programming required. It is guaranteed to work right out of the box and batteries are included."

Anyways, I deserve any easy fix at last!!!!!

My experiences with replacement remotes are generally good. The only problem I've had is they sometimes have extra features, for example on a non-digital TV buttons to switch to digital modes. This just does nothing or brings up "Not Available" on some TVs.

Glad you fixed it

yeah, I'm rather stoked!

The cool thing about this one, is that you can
play video data files, like .avi, .flv, .mpg, etc.,
from a DVD data disc, or from the built-in
SD card slot, or from the USB. I'm wondering
if I'll be able to watch movies from my 200 Gig USB
external harddrive.....i'll try it tomorrow.

Mark my words....I'm gonna have a working 42" or larger
LCD or plasma real soon.....for damn cheap!!!

This website is the coolest!

That's cool. Actually, one thing I like about some of the cheaper TVs is the fact that they offer a DVR recording feature. Plug in an external disk drive and they'll record live TV, with no external boxes.

I've got a plasma that takes SD and CF cards and shows pictures, will have to have a look at that soon. Might do videos too.

The one problem you may have with an external HDD is that the TV may not be able to power it without an external brick.
