    Ok, thanks all for your advice. No luck with the local tv sales shop so I resolved it with the (unadvised) no cost option.

    Basically, I removed the tv from all sources of power, unscrewed the back until I could access the switch (the plastic 'pusher' has snapped off and fell out at this point) and pushed it on. Screwed it all back up and it's now working.

    It will be painful having to use the socket to switch off but nowt else I can do now. Too mean to leave it on standby!!!

    Thanks for your help everyone as always,
