Hi
I have an unworking 42 inch television and was wondering is there anywhere that takes this sort of thing rather than just taking it to the dump,
Thanks

    Many unworking electrical items sell on ebay.I'm assuming they are bought for parts or to repair.

    Or you could advertise it on freecycle. Again I have saw unworking things being taken on there. Maybe someone would be happy to pay a few quid to repair it?

    If it won't switch on, try a new power lead before you dump it! It might just be that the fuse in the plug has gone.

    If it does turn on but picture is slow to come on / warm up etc... (assuming its a plasma) you'll need to repalce the 3no. power supplies @ £70 each approx
    Spare parts only is you best bet
