In one of my rooms I have a little LCD telly, when I have finished using this TV I usually just switch it off at the wall without turningthe actual TV off itself.

Today went to turn the TV on and it won't play ball - have I broken it?! :eek:

And if it's not completely broken, how do I go about fixing it? :o

Thanks!

    Have you tried a different mains lead as the fuse may have blown. Oh and watch less TV and start reading books lol

    Where would I be able to get a different mains lead?

    I don't actually watch a whole lot of TV to be honest, but sods law is that when yours is broken there will be something on you want to watch! :)

    A girl with a TV in her room, thats scary lol

    If it is a kettle type of lead then from a monitor PC or kettle, if it is a small TV then it maybe a figure of 8 lead. Can you unplug the lead from the TV or is it attached to the TV?

    Post back let us know and we will try to help you.

    lol

    dont worry

    ok lets start by asking have you plugged it in somewhere else?

    ie a different socket that you know works

    either that or does lets say a hair dryer work in the socket where the tv is normally plugged into?

    Hi

    The end thats plugged into the TV is like a computer charger pin... I think it says DC on the back of the TV?

    That's connected to a big box type thing with another lead which goes to the plug. I've tried it in another plug that I know works and it's still not going on :(

    How old is this TV? still under warranty?
    What's the screen size?
    Where it say's "DC", does it give a voltage and current rating? (ie 12v 500mA)

    If I had to put money on it, id say the power adaptor was shot (the "big box thing"). If it's a small enough TV you might be able to get an adaptor for it.

    You should still try changing the fuse in the plug though.
