    Photo playback for Grandma (please help)

    I'm pretty sure you (often) can just put the files on the DVD as data files and they play. Just like some TV's do it when you stick in a USB drive. I think this is an old feature - so old they don't even mention it except on page 47 of the user manual.

    There is no video at any time, before or after post. I'm not worried about getting great performance out of a replacement card, just want enough to get into the computer, save all my wanted files to an external drive - and then maybe turn it into a digital photo view (and print) machine for...

    Broken TV - hopeless/pointless to fix?

    For a while there, I was a king. I can remember when my Mom and brother came to visit. I had mentioned I was thinking about getting a new tv to upgrade from my current 13". My brother walked into my tiny apartment, saw a 65" Homer Simpson looking at him and exclaimed "No-Way! No-Way!!"...

    Broken TV - hopeless/pointless to fix?

    I tried the Magic Focus function, which is supposed to do it automatically. It didn't work. And the way the grid lines were warped, rather than just unaligned seems to me that something is broken. I can try a manual focus - I havent tried it yet because not sure how to do it - but I do have the...
