You need to see if that display inputs are adaptable to the hdmi out of the Rpi.

It may just be composite out, not HDMI

This would be much harder without the other board where the wires go to,you could then reverse engineer that and hopefully find a pinout to hook up to the rPi.
You are better off buying a screen with composite out, this is way too much hassle than you think it is. Without any explanation of what dvd player it is, a top and bottom image of all the boards in the system, and a picture of the screen, it would be almost impossible for us to tell you what to do to get this working with a rPi

Thanks for that precise answer. I'll look for another screen instead

DSI Display
The Raspberry has a DSI interface onboard. Is this just plug n' play like hdmi/composite and where can I buy such a DSI Display for a reasonable price? which size do you recommend? 7"?

I'm kinda meh about all those. Even the dock, with no HDMI or some other connectors I don't see the point to it.
I'm unhappy with the cases out now and if this case is slim enough and has magnet lock and close and some sort of stand mechanism, I'd pay 50ish bucks for it. The cases out now are pretty good for their ten dollar price tags but I want something nicer.

It's called business strategy. No HDMI out on the device or the dock means you have to by the Q. Stupid, yeah, but business wise, that's how the game works. Why put in HDMI when we can charge them $300 to stream everything?
I would love to purchase the Q, but I just spent $200 on this tablet. I bought it because I wanted something cheap yet good (which I got). The only way i'll get the Q is if someone else buys it for me (HA!) or I win it in a competition (....HAHAHAHA! Yeah, right, I NEVER win anything, lol).
But yeah, so there's your business reason for no HDMI.

POGO wouldn't support HDMI anyway, not enough pins... besides the whole point of not having HDMI is that you will be able to do it wirelessly.
Should start seeing this very soon using WiFi direct and the Miracast protocols. The hardware is already there to do it in the Nexus 7

AC Adapter

Hi, anyone using the AC Adapter Model KY-738 before? The adapter is as per picture below:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
When I charged using this adapter, I would able to "wake up" the phone by pressing power button. However, the screen wont have any response when I touch it. When I unplugged the phone, the screen will response already. Anyone any idea why this happened?
Bad quality adapter it is very common problem with responsibility of touch screen while charging. Use a stock charger
Best wishes,

+1 its probably the cheap charger
If you use a higher quality one like the HTC one, you might not have the same problem

Have a try with the real one to see if its a hardware issue with your phone before throwing it out
Then buy a proper one, with some things on eBay you get what you pay for unfortunately

I am looking for new desktop speakers

Hey people as I said in the title I am looking for some new speakers for my desktop. However, thanks to my current dual monitor setup I need either really short speakers or something like laptop sound bar so the speakers don't get hidden behind the monitors. So if someone has any suggestions that be great.

Bump I'd still like to hear some suggestions, preferably for speakers under 100 dollars and I only need 2 speakers since I wouldn't be able to spread out surround sound speakers properly in the room I have my computer in.
Under your budget are the m-audio av30 speakers.

At $149, I'd definitely recommend the av40.

Free Music

Some good free tunes at the Play store today. Check out the "Free New Indie, Hip-Hop, Electronic and More" section. I seldom find anything I like, but took 6 of 10 of these!
Call me old school, but I still buy all my music. If I want it on my tab or phone I just rip it at 320kbps and off we go.
Dam play store dont work in my country (music and movies section)
Not sure how to access free music section from the Play store on the Nexus.... Did you find it there or on a pc?
Cheers,
Jon

I did it on a PC, but looking at my Nexus, if you just scroll down to the bottom of the screen it's the 3rd block up on the left. It's all very "bassy", so listening with earbuds or on a PC sounds much better.

When i plug my phone to the tv, nothing happens ! Black sceen on tv...nothing special on the phone.
This cable seems to be compatible with an Xperia T, so what's the problem in your opinion ?
Do i need a specific application ?
Thanks by advance for your advices.

It looks like the usb part of the cable needs to be stuck into any usb port to draw power for the mhl cable.
Should work if I not mistaken there a certain order in which to plug them in an I believe it's hdmi to the tv power to mhl then micro usb to phone anyway give it a shot

Doesnt make a difference with my mhl cable, long as it has power via the short USB port that's connected it will work fine.
