dangerousedd Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 sounds like bad capacitors in the psu, should be easy to repair. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Doubt it would be economically viable though, unless you know someone who's willing to do the work for a few drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzijlstra Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Its a BUSH Personal experience speaking: Avoid BUSH TVs (anything BUSH really). They are cheaper because they use older tech and cut corners on things like power supplies, which are actually very important to the longevity of a TV. At the moment the TV market is in hyper-competitive state due to the sales-spike before christmas and because parts are now cheaper than ever, invest in a Panasonic, Samsung or Sony would be my advice. Oh and before buying a good looking 'black friday' deal - check the exact model number online to see if it actually IS a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassity Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Doubt it would be economically viable though, unless you know someone who's willing to do the work for a few drinks. A quid or so for capacitors from Bardwells and the ability to use a soldering iron and absorb info from a youtube vid. Take precautions though, they can give you a right belt if you don't drain down.

JarvisS8 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Nobody tends to bother with them because if its not an easy fix like a bad cap the person fixing it will have to buy a new board to replace the broken one, by the time you have paid for parts and labour you could have bought a new TV...does depend on the value of the TV of course.

dutch Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have a capacitor tester. It may be worth to have a quick look at those before throwing it away. But there are an awful lot of people out there that have same similar problems with Bush TV. Most of them appear to come from Argos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're really selling it there: "It's a cheap and easy fix, as long as you don't blow your arm off with a huge electric shock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
