I had seen several screens for the iPod to play movies on the go, but I couldn't find one for the Zune... So I thought: I can make one! The result is here.
This is my latest finished project of a Portable Zune Player (PZP).
The guts are from a Coby with 7" inch screen.
I got it off eBay for 30$ including shipping, since it didn't read DVDs. The fact is, it has a video input so I could connect my Zune there...
I took out the actual dvd reader out, made space for the Zune, soldered pins from the 3.5 plug (which goes into the Zune) to the video input plugs, painted the unit black and voilą! Now I just need to paint the battery (the silver thing under the player)...
I can watch movies from the player on a bigger screen, or connect something else to the PZP and see the output on its screen.
Total time: approximately a month, working during my spare time from school.
I just hope they're gonna let me take it on the plane... ;-)
