Biased lighting for your big screen tv

Step 4 Drill me baby

Here I am, drilling into my TV that I really never have been able to afford, and will never be able to replace if I damage it.

IN this pic you can see me affixing my chopped up extension cord, my light-bulb socket, and my metal clamp from the plumbing aisle.

Make note that I am using VERY small pan head screws. Even after they are screwed into the TV, I daresay there isn't more then a bump in the plastic on the inside on the TV on the flat spot.

The manly end of the extension cord got plugged into my cable box switched outlet. Now when I turn my cable box on and off, the light does the same.

you owe me $4000, i just tried this and my 70 inch hd dlp tv stopped working

don't you feel partially responsible? After all ColumbusGEEK even stated how dumb he was being. Instead of sticking a drill in your $4000 tv you could perhaps try tape. (that eliminates the whole drilling part into the $4000 tv part)

[ColumbusGEEK]

Crap, and I already sent him 4000+shipping. I get dumber every year.

[Frogz]

check arrived safely do you recomend a bigger drill bit? i think that was my problem

[ColumbusGEEK]

This one should do.

[Frogz]

are you sure? i actually used the next model up from that, it comes with an second full sized handle so a second person can hold it steady

[ColumbusGEEK]

handles are for losers.

[cornflaker]

Yeah pfft. handles are as useless as instructions.
