This TV-fixing thing is easy.

The answer is always 'change-out all the power supply capacitors'.

Works every time, and you know, it could even work for you!

On a serious note (and I'm no expert) it definitely sounds like power supply, and could well be the capacitors!



It's the TV repairers answer to the IT helpdesk's 'please reboot your computer'.

try thumping the side of the tv.... if it comes on again it's a dry joint somewhere.

Definitely an Intermitting fault. Not for the DIY.
