That thing has to be magic... Because how did it read "magic ... more magic" on that resistor/whatever? It's completely unlabeled...lulzfish said:

I suspect you are right, many LCDs have a couple of frames of latency for some post processing. Some sets have a "game mode" which is supposed to turn the processing off and give the minimum latency the set can manage.
Anyway, I was interested in Pandora as a portable device, basically. However, that seems to be a well-featured cable. An order modification might be required.

"Do not touch Willy"
Good advice.

Even if that happened, the resulting file would still have to be resized and compressed, thus affecting the quality significantly. It would be better and easier to wait until someone reviews it. Not long nowsverm said:

"do not touch...something"
it looks like a power regulator circuit so it might be good advice.
changing a capacitor or resistor value by touching it might send higher voltage to the chips.
(still curious about what the 2nd line says tho
)

In case you're using elinks or something, I'll quote what lulzfish's recent image contained:
"Do not touch when live"

It's the feedback loop for the 5V supply and the capacitance from your body is enough to throw it out of whack and even destroy the chip. It's ridiculously sensitive but it runs fine if you leave it alone.

Couldn't that have been covered with... isolating plastic or something?MWeston said:
Oh well the rest of the board is awesome so who am I to complain. I prboably won't even be doing any modding any time soon.

You probably shouldn't have used yeti nipples then.MWeston said:

Ähm, sorry, but if the pandora is in his case, you dont see the "dont touch when life" because it is under the plastik or it is for the modder
but thy arent no noobs!! :unsure:

Never underestimate the idiocy of someone with a screwdrivermatzesu said:
Or, to put a better way, even a professional might say "what's that?" and then poke it without thinking, especially when eager to know how something works. Mistakes happen, better to label it and reduce the risk than assume your audience will know what to do in every situation.

I suppose you could cover it yourself with epoxy. I've seen a bunch of circuit boards that had areas covered with it, sometimes to protect areas they know you could mod easily to circumvent region or copyright protection (Wii), other times to protect it for other reasons. It would have to be a non-conductive epoxy, though.dflemstr said:Couldn't that have been covered with... isolating plastic or something?

What would happen if a liquid got in there, say a splash of water or a Coke? It's right next to the seam and two case openings. Or is this just a problem with the "capacitance" of our bodies and not an issue with a conductive material getting on it?MWeston said:
Though, I guess that wouldn't help any parts of the inside, except that many electronics are fine once dried out, this sounds like a splash could fry the board, if liquids are indeed an issue.

really good point to consider!
MWeston, point out the answer for us!
I wonder if epoxy could shield it..

My laptop is over $3,000...that doesn't mean someone won't trip near me and splash it. How I treat my product has nothing to do with what can happen to it. An informed consumer is a happy consumer; I haven't implied anything, just asked a straight forward question on product stresses.greendots said:
Regardless, it is a fair question to ask. I hope you aren't suggesting that we shouldn't ask these things? Perhaps this scenario hasn't been thought of (in the millions of things they have to worry about). It is better to ask first, than be sorry later; these sorts of questions have helped find things in the past.
