gday a mate of mine recently bought 2 headrest mounted tv monitors off ebay, he also has one in his dash, one of those electronic fold out versions, anyway the front screen works fine but the 2 in the headrests dont seem to play all songs off sum music video dvds im not sure about wether movie dvds work in the headrest tvs either, but i know the cables are run down underneath the center console, into the headdeck tv, when playing the dvd the headrest monitors will play about 4 secs then flicker a few times then turn off and on again and not play it at all untill you skip to the next song and it only does this for certain songs???? anyideas will be helpful- hes also running two apline type s subs in the boot with two amps(not sure wat type) 2 type s 6x9s, 2 6 inch type s speakers and 2 of those things that distribute the power evenly between speakers and subs cant remember what they are called either lol, but yea any help will b great, if you need more info just ask

the car is a vl commodore, the head unit is alpine and rear monitors are some unknown brand, so if you say the power supply is stuffed how do you fix or is it just a simple replacement of parts and same for capacitor???

cheers

So let me get this right.

You have 2 headrest monitors that are not working correctly??

The Source unit plays every thing correctly?

Are you running the Video signals through a distribution box?

Try running one monitor at a time. with out the distribution box.

I would be checking to make sure that the head rest monitors are set to the correct system (pal/ntsc) for the source unit output.

Cant think of anything else off the top of my head

Good Luck

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
