Mickly Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 We’ve got a digital photo frame that started flashing & then wouldn’t work at all, I tested the power supply & it’s ok. so I opened up the back to see if I could notice anything untoward!! Yeah right !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Throw it in the bin. Repairing it would mean testing all the in-board elements till you find the faulty part. If it was flashing like the photo on and off and then went all out it would have been the power regulator that packed in. The larger square integrated circuit will be the processor while the other 2 large ones will be the cmos and memory manager. The repair would be a new motherboard which is the price of the whole thing. For £100 you get an excellent goggle tv box that will do the same showing the photos on the tv set.

Bender Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I never got the whole digital picture frame, it's probably for the best, buy a couple of frames, they tend not to go faulty and cost nothing to run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not static, you can load 1000’s of digital images & have them automatically cycling through. The missus & grandkids loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I know how they work , we had one for about a month, little transformer ran very hot, then we got bored of it and it's now somewhere in one of the corners of the house where small electrical devices go never to be seen again.

Tiggie Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 We've got a Google home hub (Bit like an Amazon Alexa with a screen) As all our photos are stored on Google Photos we have set the hubs screensaver to show a random photo every couple of minutes. Its actually quite clever at how it does it, For example showing photos taken on this day 5 or 10 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
