Hey

I bought a Centurion portable DVD player about 6-7 years ago for my little fellow we used do a lot of long distance car journeys and at the time it was the best I could afford.
It's been stuck in a cupboard for years and I've just brought it out for me grandson to use so I don't have to suffer watching Diego and Dora the Explorer over and over;)
Problem is the picture is as clear as day all the functions still work, power it up it shows a blue screen but all the DVD's are in green with the odd flash of yellow.
It the screen knackered or have the kids messed with remote settings.
Has anyone any ideas on what the problem could be?

It looks like its on the way out. Prices for these have tumbled ove rthe past few years os advice would be to try and source a new one.

Thanks for the advice I think I'll have to do that (the monies not really there at the minute), or just hope the kids don't notice everyones green for now;)
