I got an incredible deal yesterday..One I still can't believe, and from Goodwill nonetheless. I was up there at lunch yesterday and they had 3 broken portable Sharp DV-L70 DVD players. They look like this:
I ask how much and the manager says, "they are broken, they don't work."
Well, even not working they would be of use to me as the have 7" TFT 16:9 LCD screens that I can use for other projects. So I say, "How much for 3 broken DVD players then?"
She gets the ponder ponder look then replys.
"$25.00"
Well I took em to work and opened them up. Two of them didn't work because someone had ripped the power port off the board. The other one powered up but the DVD drive had a liquid spilled all over it. So I took the working power ciruit and made a working Portable DVD for myself. The other one probably works but needs a new power connector.
So for $25 I got 3 Litium Ion batteries for the Sharp DVD portables. one power connector. one AV out cable, one working Portable DVD player, one probably fixable portable, and one for parts.
