Nuts could fit better
1 of 1 found this helpful They appear to be a good fit with the common 2.1 mm power plugs on 12v wall warts. The nuts are a loose fit on the threads, and will need care to prevent stripping the plastic threads. Also, no washers are included. I'll probably add hot glue or epoxy or something to secure the nut.

It fixed my TV
My TV stopped working with sources that required HDCP, so the only things I could connect were a computer or media player. This box appears to have solved that problem. I was able to watch DVD and Blu-ray content over HDMI from a Blu-ray player, which I couldn't before. I haven't tried it with an upscaling DVD player and the HD-DVD player yet.

Beware of the internal lihtium battery which will be dead by now.
3 of 4 found this helpful Isn't it obsolete by now?
It's much less sensitive than devices with newer GPS chipsets. You can't load topo maps into it. And, be aware that these units have an internal rechargeable lithium battery which will fail (permanently) if it has been stored without batteries for long periods. Which is how you would normally store it for long periods, if you don't want the alkaline cells to leak inside it. Bad design. The clue is a message "Stored Data Was Lost" whenever you install new AA cells, and of course you'll find any waypoints and tracks are gone. And it takes a very long time to initialize, since it can't remember where it last was. The battery can be replaced: it requires skilled soldering. The case can be opened easily, since it is sealed with silicone, and on my unit that silicone was brittle and the seal easily broken without tools.
It was never any good at starting up in heavy forest; I had to stand in a clearing and wait for it to figure out where I was, then it would maintain a track once I headed down the trail.
With the correct interface cable you can load and save locations, but you'll need a PC with a serial port or a USB to serial adapter. Powering it from 12V also requires a special adapter (which may be combined with the serial interface, so you could use it with mapping software on a laptop).
