Sigh.............just randomly conked out WTF! >:(

deffo the tv? blown fuse maybe?

Is it plugged in?

do you have a tv?

There is still power going into it as the red light is on but won't switch on either by remote or by hand. Have unplugged it a few times as well.........

that may be the problem

sure you're not looking at the microwave?

who needs tv with all the drama on here anyway ;)


u tried changing the batterries of the remote

You tried changing the batteries in your hand?

Yup and it won'r switch on manually either, the infra red light on the TV flashes when I press the remote so there is obv power going into the TV but nothing happens.

Ideas for repair anyone in Nottingham?

Load it into Barry Nev's boot next time you're at DTD. He knows a man in Sheffield perfect for the job.

Like I'd ever see it again :D Maybe he would part exchange for a couple of suits...........

I think this will be one of those nights where I probably don't need a telly ;whistle;

Its not a Vistron bought from Ebuyer within the last 2 years is it?

We got one of these for the daughter and the exact same thing happened with the power going out and the red light flashing etc

i know how you can sort it yourself.

if it is this let me know

Nah its a samsung from currys or wherever, tell me the suggestion anyway, you never know......

My TV does this when i'm pressing the wrong button to switch it on

Orly......

Just a punt but have you tried turning it on and off again? :)

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaany times..........

when this happened to my daughters TV, it turned out that some of the Capacitor's had blown on the power board.

I had to take off the back panel and replace them with higher voltage one, you need to solder them on the power board with a solder gun.

I'll have a look for the link to how to do it, it's only 42p per capacitor, yu need between 2-5 depending on how many capacitors have blown.

Quote from Link:

Check the power supply board for two capaictors that has started to puff at the top of themselves, Capacitors should have a fla tops as you will see on the others in the circuit. the value for these will be around 1000uf rated at 10v, Replace them with 1000uf rated at 16V. They are usually located near the plug on the power supply feeding the main board, there may be two or three that has gone bad. Replace them in the same direction you took them out as they are polarized + and Neg, the neg side is usually maked with a strip white or black.


I did this and it has worked perfect ever since

Cheers its getting fixed as we speak, the tosser wants £150 for it though >:(

Christ how much is the tele worth might as well bought a new one

FFS it cost me £1.68 to fix mine!

You'll never listen
