After suggestions as to where to install a 600w 240v inverter in the cabin of the D40, so the kid (5yr old) can watch movies on my laptop.
On our recent trip to/from sydney, the DVD player i had for him stopped working and kept going back to the begining of the disk - my guess is that the laser is not working properly anymore, and probably not worth fixing.
I have just upgraded my office laptop, and will re-install a clean operating system on my old laptop (only 3 yrs old) and rather than spending money on a new dvd system for the Kid, might as well put the old laptop to good use. I also already have the Inverter, and have plenty of cable - so its really a no brainer to install it in the car instead of dishing out money on a replacement DVD player just for the kid to use.
I am wondering if it is safe to install the DVD player under the front passenger seat, or mayby to install behind the rear bench seat.
Do i have to worry too much about the heat sink getting to hot? I've never really used it much before apart from recharging mobile phones whilst camping. (i can now do that from the 12v accessory sockets)
What thoughts do people have, or concerns about 240v in the cabin?
