well it's literally broken off, and i think that the metal strip that connected the tuner connector to the tuner circuit board is severed.

an external tuner would have composite or other such outputs i heard

Broken TV tuner, what now?

So yesterday I needed to move my 47" lcd so i proceeded to unscrew the cable from the TV tuner in the back, but something was off, it was jiggling a good bit, and it seemed stuck. So after about 30 minutes of trying to unscrew it, the whole tuner connection popped off the back of the TV. wtf I'...

yeah after some more tinkering i got it to go all the way to xbox live, but the problem was zonealarm messing things up. so now it seems i have to shut it down everytime i want to get on live. i've added a bunch of exceptions but i can't seem to find exactly what it is that zonealarm is blocking.

yeah my computer is wirelessly connected, and i'm trying to hardwire my 360 to it to share the wireless connection. i'll check the link and read up some more, but im feeling pessimistic about it since i've already been tinkering around with the ICS. and yeah, 360s don't have wireless, you have to bu...

Sharing my computer's wireless with my 360

So yeah I've been looking around and tried a bunch of stuff but just can't seem to get this to work. So i guess I need a more one-on-one assistance. I want to be able to share my computer's wireless connection in my room with my xbox 360, and I've tried bridging the ethernet and wireless connections...

yeah i already have a DVI to HDMI cable, and i think it does have a vga port, but im a little worried i'll be a disappointed if i opt for lower for the lower quality vga connection over the crisp look of dvi (or so ive been told).

1 Monitor, 2 sources

So I just got this nice 22 inch acer lcd monitor in my room, and i'd like to be able to connect it to my xbox 360 quickly and easily whenever i feel. I've already bought an HDMI to DVI cable, however it's a pain having to swap out from my pc cable to 360 cable from the back monitor's DVI port. So I ...

i have to agree that the samsungs look sweet as sugar but for 177 bucks the dells are just so aggressively priced and the closest comparison, a 2232GW Samsung, is 210 bucks refurb :-\ I have to admit though, the fact that I already use a dell monitor kinda makes me die a little inside if I get anoth...

Which of these two budget monitors best?

Hey hey! So great deals are everywhere this holiday season. And I've been looking around a bit for a new monitor to grace my desktop. I've come across two great 22" lcd monitors at almost exactly the same price (about $177): The Envision G2219w1 and The Dell E228WFP Both seem pretty sweet and M...

well it took two centuries but the clone finally worked (after failing halfway through the first time). The problem seems to have disappeared... for the time being. Plus the system boots much faster now. Although I think you may have somewhat of a point FP, I noticed two leaking capacitors and sever...
