Question about RCA OPAL M4001 MP3 Player

Screen is magnetized

I went camping and took some small speakers with me and plugged them in. The next day the bottom corner was dark. I thought it was magnetized and would last months but the next day after that the whole screen was dark and has been since. How do I fix that?

V3 never registers when I close it, battery is being wasted!

You forgot to replace a small magnet that goes in the upper right corner of the cover (when closed) next to the screen. Try to put a magnet in the circular hole.

Red rainbow in bottom left corner of my tv and the screen is blury

If you have a speaker or anything else magnetic near that corner move it away. It may take a few days for the built in degausing coil to de-magnetize it but it should go away it that's what caused it.

Screen green and purple in two corners

I am in agreement with the second solution. TVs, when moved from one location to another have a tendency to show color patches in the corners. A few days of usage, and the auto degaussing circuits will clear the problem. Also make sure that there are no Magnet Sources nearby (Un sheilded Speakers, some Power supply of amplifiers, A 2-in-1 music system, your kids walky-talky toy, etc.) Pravin
