Just finished... Already having fun

Post by Underage_inventor »

I just finished building my first TV-B-Gone today. I have already shut off 4 tv's of all different brands. Two of them were the old rounded-screen tv's with the huge part in the back. The other two were new flat screens from brands that I haven't of even heard of before. I built this with a $9 radio shack iron, .8mm diameter solder, and a pair of nail clippers. This is because I am currently on vacation, and I wanted to bring a portable iron in case my old Mintyboost broke. I ended up getting this for Christmas, and now I am so glad that I brought my iron. I found out that the older tv's will turn off and on multiple times by one reset. I thick this is because they are less sensitive and will take a wider range of codes to turn off.

(PS. I am only twelve so no one suspects me to do something like this.) :)
