[KLA#ZLA]

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

capacitors?

what kind of car is it? what kind of screens are they? what brand head unit etc etc...

im an electronics tech, ill have a go,

without looking at it i'd say power supply stuffed or a/some electrolytic capacitor/s have blown or gone leaky.

[KLA#ZLA]

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

you dont fix it. you take it to a tech and get them to do it. they are not user serviceable

[KLA#ZLA]

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
