Well, the guide is a direct rip from Ben's book, and you can find info on soldering and stuff on PoD; plus, it'd be free that way!

How observant. But it hasn't been posted in for over 2 weeks. Please, spare us. We're quite aware that it's still here as well.

Um... Can't you buy a new A/V cable? Making a portable isn't the easiest way to "fix" it.

If you're looking at this post and it was made before 2008, just ignore it.
