Bush tv.....no power-bin or repair?

Hi guys/gals-have a 24 inch Bush DVD/TV combi-3 years old & not used much-it's a bedroom tv. The other morning the power just went off-no standby light at all. Changed fuse in plug-tried a different electrical socket-did the 'power down/up' thing as advised by Argos technical Helpline (hold standby button in-unplug 30 secs-keep holding standby button & plug back in for 30 secs).
I'm sure anyone with a modicum of technical knowledge could fix it (googled & it's likely to be a capacitor I think)....is it even worth paying to get it fixed-& does anyone have an idea on cost or shall I bin it & get a 2nd hand one on the market at £25?
Anyone have any other things I could try? Thanks in advance.

£25 for the second hand one is a bargain. You wouldn't get anyone to fix that one for £25.:footie:

Yup...think you're probably right. Granted...it was a slightly smaller one but still HD ready & with DVD. I think the bin might be called for....!0
