| OK so today my parents switched to Verizon Fios and this guy came in and changed our computers, TVs etc...
But what really upsets me is this -
You'll need some background knowledge first...
My Dad and his 2 friends kind of remodeled our basement like 4 years ago and now it has a movie theater kind of thing in it with 3 chairs facing a wall, and a platform behind it with 3 more chairs on it. A projector casts a picture on the wall and the PS3 is connected to the projector and surround sound, so that's where I play Call Of Duty and other games.
So basically, when I got home from school today my mom told me to clean up my room... after that I wanted to relax a little with some Cod Mod 2 so I went downstairs to boot it up. I pressed the button to turn the projector on... fine... I pressed the button that triggers the audio and visual... not fine. Nothing came up. No lights, nothing. I tried for 30 minutes to fix it, kind of taking those colored cords that attach to the back that weren't in it and putting them in some places but I gave up eventually.
Then I talked to my mom on the phone and told her that the guy needs to come back and fix it, and she said that he told her he didn't know how to connect the PS3 to the Sound Box thing (lol sorry I don't know what to call it =P) so he left it for my dad to do...
The problem is, my dad doesn't even like me playing Call of Duty, the only game I play, really, in the first place... and the last time the PS3 had issues it literally took him 7 months to fix it... I'm not kidding, it took him 7 months... That isn't an exaggeration. So basically I won't be able to play Call of Duty or Guitar Hero, the only other PS3 game I play on some rare occasions, for a while =[ | |

| Can i point the obvious... But the red cable goes into the red hole and the white cable goes into the white hole...
On a realistic note, with circuits and such you have to keep all positive wires in series and all negative wires in series... It's not hard really... | |

| It's not that easy...
I don't have a flashlight and the place is kinda dark where it is. The light nearest to it doesn't exactly show the colors of the circles.
And there are like 75 different circles to plug crap into. Most of them are empty, so it isn't like I can fill in the blanks. And the wires run through the walls through this one point so the area is one jumbled mess of wires and cables | |

It's called an empty wallet.
Lol that and the fact that an HD projector is better for playing Call of duty Beast - I would try to google it, but I have no idea what the name of the sound system is... And even if it told me what to do I'd screw it up because I am just plain bad with technology =P | |

| You can plug in an HD projector to a gaming PC...
...and I'm not trying to rub it in, just suggesting it. | |

...and I'm not trying to rub it in, just suggesting it. But what would be the point of using a projector then if you are using a monitor and not a wall? SSHG - I did read the manual but all of the cords are so bunched up and it's so dark I cannot tell what goes where | |

Read the topic. The wires are too tangles.
