The "bang" bit doesn't sound good.

I'm no expert, but I think you may be right.

LCD digital was it ?

Coz if it was, I hear they do that a lot, just like digital decoder boxes that cease to function after a year.

Could it be the standard quality electronics just isn't up to the power of digital?, perhaps fine for analogue signals or there never was any real problems before we were forced to go digital.

I heard a report on the radio that the soon to be rolled out 4G mobile thing will interfere with digital TV signals rather badly.

Al, looks like we will all be watching no telly soon.

You've got 'till tomorrow to get it fixed or replaced - there's no Giro today, it's a rest day.

Not sure I'll live to see tomorrow.

If she does do me in, would someone contact the autorities and show them this thread?

Thank you.

'The power of digital' - did you really type that? If al's tvactually made a noise when it went bang it was most like a capacitor that went pop in the power supply. Digital absolutely nothing to do with it as LCD screens have been around for years with analogue tuners.

Al - you should google the model and if it pops up like a rash, contact the shop you bought it from and the manufacturer. There are many models that have specific problems which are often fixed FOC. A product can has to be of merchantable quality - look it up. Most products have to last at least 6 yearts. I'll dig it up later when I'm home.

Only if I can come down and keep your 'notch

Yep....
Friend had an 3series (E42), that ripped its own subrafe our from its mountings in the bootfloor. His local BMW dealer tried to charge him £3500 to have it welded back up (bodged), until we did a bit of research and found it was a common fault, and BMW were agreeing to a FOC rebuild with later, modified panels. We even found another guy who had his car in the same dealer/bodyshop, having the same repair, whilst we werestood there and were quoted that £3500 repair... so they knew it was a problem, but just tried to do the fleece anyway

The moral is, RESEARCH, AND PESTER
