Most of the 20" ones I've seen are not much cheaper than the 30"

So, bit of an interesting "turn of events" my local town page was randomly asking if everyone is ok. I commented that my tv broke, long story short they're going to see if they can source a spare tv to be delivered to me!! How amazing would that be?! this town might get slated by outsiders but everyone certainly has a community spirit

This is a local town, for local people!

Buy an even smaller TV and sit closer to it.

It's called a laptop.

If that pulls off that is amazing!!! Fingers crossed. You should still just get your TV repaired it's an easy fix - you can never make your mind up with anything can you?

Obviously doesn't matter if you can get one for free, but i'd go option 2. For the price of a new 50" tv i think it probably wouldn't cost much less to repair yours. If you can do it yourself then great but otherwise i'd imagine you'd be looking at >£100 once you factor in labour/parts etc.

If I lived close enough I would have done it for free. It's either the motherboard or power supply. I had the exact issue on my LED tv. Replaced the board and it worked no problems!

Well it's not going to be a local town for people over seas is it? lol

To answer your questions....

As above my laptop wasn't the best last night whilst trying to watch something. (And before you ask No I don't have a network cable and when I've tried that before it's made no difference)

Oooh errr

And yes I can make my mind up ya cheeky wotsit! I just like to think things through rationally first rather than just instantly throwing money at things

We don't know for sure what the issue is yet as some people on Twitter said their problem was relating to the remote control. I'm planning to email Panasonic anyway for advice

Just because a Facebook page is local doesn't mean the people would be helpful. My old home town is mainly old snobby people

lol (don't you dare say I'm snobby either, Sainsbury's is not posh

)

Have you got a network cable?

Who said anything about a network cable?

7 flashing lights isn't related to the remote control lol that's for sure...

@Clov!s needs to get a pic up on the OcUK rogues gallery so we know who to keep away from.

See if the face matches the posts.

ah i know hate it when this happens ,i think i forget all the good bits sometimes ,just wake with this vague feeling something amazing has happened but trying to remember is like climbing up a wall of ice

I sometimes find I can't remember my dream clearly when I first wake but then later in the day bits of it will suddenly come back to me.

I tend to have weird dreams constantly and usually 3 or 4 that flick between each other. I like the dreams though where my dad is still alive. I get to see him again and talk to him :')

It never does match up

Started filling our skip up this morning. We had barely half filled it when the local Eastern European skip raiders turned up taking it out as fast we were putting it in.

I never see them and then they turn up as soon as a skip is being filled. They must have radar or something. One of them looked particularly delighted with his new Corsair Obsidian 650D PC case though.

You threw this case out?

Yeah, couldn’t be bothered to muck about selling it. Too much messing about with postage. It’s a big unit.had a DVD writer and a Corsair PSU in it too.

Martynt74 · 2 Apr 2020 at 11:58

Win/Win for you though, means extra room for other junk and at least it's being recycled rather than landfilled
