What would you do to this?
Looks like a Portable DVD player with some pcb atatched. Obvious Arcade button for what purpose unknown..

If the screen doesn't have an input you can work with, I'd make a fight stick out of the base.

It probably just plays a video when the button is pressed to demonstrate the speakers.
Might be useful for a museum or some type of orientation.

That screen is so tiny it wouldn't be worth the effort of hacking it.  I say stick it in a corner with a DVD that loops something like 80s game commercials or episodes of Red Dwarf.

You could make a daily affirmation video.
Get up every morning, hit the button, and see yourself telling yourself:

Small screen could be good for a handheld system.

He'd explain the reference, but it would violate rules 1 and 2.  :duckhunt

Disassembly started.
As you can see, there is a SD card in there. It holds a speakers.avi file. Should I host it? Curious enough?

This (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHkvO7i8R2c") is the video that was on the SD card..
Here  (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaXWkwym1ak")is logitech's own clip on the product.

I think I might do the fightstick, the screen seems to be a digital picture frame without inputs (possibly hackable tho).

It probably just plays a video when the button is pressed to demonstrate the speakers.

Spot on!

Contacted logitech today to Get som info on the display and the pcb attatched.
They didn't five that kind of information. :(

Anyone know what voltage this guy would need?
Thinking this screen could end up being a hiscore display or something..
