Broken TV

    Hi guys,

    I know I should take it to a repair shop but too close to Christmas!
    Just wondering if anybody might be able to advise me what could be wrong with my TV. It's a 40 inch Samsung LCD (not sure of model) couple of years old.
    Basically when you plug it in, the standby light starts flashing as it always did when turning on except now it just keeps flashing and doesn't turn on at all.

    Thanks for any help
    Kelso

    Power supply gone :(

    have a look at adverts.ie for a big freebie CRT TV to keep you going till you get a chance to have it repaired

    unplug TV from mains and press the on/off button a few times and then leaver for half an hour so the whole unit totally powers down and try again, not likely to work but nothing to loose


    post model no. / search it on the web , may be a known problem with that model

    Thanks capt'n. Someone had said it might be the fuse in the plug but I thought once the TV was even trying to turn itself on it couldn't be that.

    Guess I'll try bring it somewhere in the morning if anywhere open
