    How Can I Switch Off The Speakers?

    Thank you again! I managed to find out how to get to the screen-side of the board - that side-trim of the unit is more flexible than it looks! My speakers were soldered at both ends, no convenient plugs to undo, so in the end I just snipped through the solder of the red wire where it attached...

    How Can I Switch Off The Speakers?

    Thank you for your response! I used WD40 because, of the household substances I had available, it seemed least likely to do any damage - I considered vodka, white vinegar and bicarb. solution, but, as I did not know if I was removing metal oxides, grease, general dirt, or what, it seemed worth...

    Please Help A Newbie Virgin!

    To be honest, the problem is that I don't know WHAT I'm looking for. I know what I want to do, but most of the things I want to do are secondary functions of a device. Devices that start as PDA's, handheld Games consoles, and Phones all seem to have converged in terms of secondary functions...

    Please Help A Newbie Virgin!

    Thank you everyone for your friendly responses! Games questions quickly answered (and, for the record, I'm mostly interested in playing games which I DO own, but for which the platform or gamepads have been worn out!) It's reassuring to hear that not everyone here is a software development...

    I hope the people here are nice enough to help me - if it's necessary to point fingers and guffaw, please do it when I'm not looking! I want to buy a device to entertain and organise me away from my computer. The main features I'm interested in are:- Watching films/tv shown that I have...
