Hiya,
Does anyone know of a T.V. technician on Lamma?
Since I've come back after a few months my TV has stopped working. I turn it on then between 0-30 seconds it just switches itself off.
Thanks

Quite likely condensation &/or dust.

Disconnect the power, blow into the rear vents with a hair drier for a minute.
Then try sucking the dust out with a vacuum cleaner.

Cross fingers and plug back in.

Also just leaving it turned on, on standby, for a few hours may be enough to dry it out, if that's the problem.

If Alan's advice doesn't bear fruit then you might have to consider replacing parts inside. But it's not too hard. I've brought 2 TVs back to life after they were dead (no power at all, no standby LED). One was LG, the other Samsung, but same problem, power board failure. Purchased entire replacement boards (2nd hand) from taobao.com for very little money, e.g. $300, replaced them, back to working condition.

If you open the back you'll typically see the power board and the "CPU" board for lack of a better term. The boards have part nos printed on them and you can search taobao.com for sellers of that part no.

Yes, yours might not be a power board issue, so there's a risk that you get the wrong part, but a trip to the service centre (out of warranty, with associated costs & transport) is probably out of the question, and if it didn't fix the problem then you only spent $300 or so. Or maybe get both boards if it's not too much $.

Best scenario is you know someone with a similar model that happens to have the same boards inside, who's willing to let you loose on it with a screwdriver so you can swap parts in a process of elimination. Also unlikely...!

Hi, looking for a TV repair man on Lamma - or someone with a bit of knowledge about them to visit and check over a unit that has stopped working since a lightning strike a few weeks ago.
If anyone has recommendations, please message me on this, or text me on 6604 8337.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your suggestions.

You might be lucky and it's just a fuse blown.

Kit at the Yanyan Store -- 2982-6989 can do electrical work.
But when I asked him about TVs, he said he doesn't do them because he can't get the parts.
If he does look he'll charge whether he can fix it or not.

I only mention him because I don't think there is anyone else at all here, unless GM wants to give it a try.
