How much are you looking to spend? Maplin have some A and B grade stock for under £100.

Haven't tried them myself so I don't know about the quality.

Cheers

What make / model of DVR is it that has a broken screen please?

And do you mean that the display is physically damaged, or that the DVR unit just doesn't switch on now?

Ha! My MINI DVR just stopped working this morning!

My fault... I plugged the supplied cable for AV/OUT to the AV/IN. Weird connections!
Now won't switch on. Well pissed off now! :thumbdown:

I did smell a bit of burning on the PCB. Opened it out to see if there was a small glass fuse somewhere that I could replace but can't see any.

The annoying thing is that I had to wire the AV/OUT from my NV specifically for this DVR. Now, if I am getting another model, I have to redo the bloody wiring. :(

A lot of the mini DVR's come with a dedicated camera that is fed 5v through the AV in cable. At a guess your AV out cable has a different configuration which frazzled the DVR for you.

YEP! :( :( :( :( :( :oops:
It is bad engineering though! they only needed to make one of the socket in different size or putting a warning on the cable, or adding a reference note in the user instructions...
I now need to replace it, but what with? One the same or a different one? :evil:
