    Modify it You'll likely only need to change a resistor & yes i'm sure 1.2A will be enough as that was the maximum load that the one i used could put out

    I guess that should be possible. I've just looked at the case and it's secured with special screws that need a screwdriver that's like a flat head type but with a notch in the centre. Do you know where I could get one of these?

    I've found out they are called spanner head screws. So I need a spanner tip screwdriver. Unfortunately searching for spanner and screwdriver turns up a lot of false positives funnily enough. To add the the difficulty the screws are in deep recesses, so I need a long shafted version. I've found some on ebay HERE but they're all from Hong Kong, so that'll be a 2 week wait minimum. I guess this is another project to put on the back burner.

    EDIT: Good luck with the equipment move.

    Cheers, at the moment i'm just sorting out the CDs into racks in alphabetical order, then it'll be blu rays Just found another pile of Cds, that means moving over a thousand as each goes in it's place

    Like you i'm waiting for stuff to arrive before i can get on with the rack, i still need to prepare though & that's what this is all about right now

    I also found the Post Office form with shipping prices so i can finally shift some DVDs

    It's never ending i tell ya Have mercy

    Check out Maplins for "Security Screwdriver Bits". Their site seems down at the moment, I will check later, but there is a set which contains the bits you need.

    Nice find Andy

    Looks like i'll be testing out the mains leads tomorrow as i'm still sorting stuff out here at the moment. I'd much rather do it in the day with alcohol not having any part in the proceedings

    Yes, i realised it's leads as both the TV & Panasonic blu ray player are both getting them, hopefully it should be enlightening

    Should be fine on 4.5v I'd have thought. Try it and see.I doubt half a volt is going to stop it working!

    Tbh Ali nothing would surprise me With a low HDMI output there may well be handshake problems with the TV. It might well work though, could try it & see innit!

    By the way, i measured the linear wall wart & the output is 5.3V DC..

    Better a tad high than low i reckon as HDMI is a fickle thing
