    We have a Wharfedale L26TA6A tv for the past 18 months. Just after the warrenty was up (of course!) it started to go on the blink. When it's turned on there is perfect sound but the picture does not appear. There is a vague bit of light and as minutes go by, stripes of colour will appear and then change slowly. After about an hour the picture will suddenly appear and be perfect! If we get impatient though, after 30 minutes or so, if we pick up the telly and tip it over horizontal to the floor and give it a shake the picture usually appears or sometimes it might appear and then go again but if we squeeze and flex the screen a little, it might spring to life.

    It's like the old days (!) waiting for the telly to heat up so if anyone knows what the prob coud be I'd be delighted! The hubby opened up the back and had a look but couldn't see any obvious problems.

    is there not an EU directive saying that you have to get a 2 year warrnaty with stuff, getting a good few dead links in google in relation to it, but I would log a support call anyway with the TV anyway so that at least while fighting to get it repaired the initial support call has been made within the 2 years
