Default Re: TV repair shops

After I retired about 15 years ago we bought a new Samsung smart TV thinking it might well see me out, not so, after about five years we started loosing the 'smart' aspect and had to buy an Amazon firestick which I'm pleased to say works well and has restored our lost channels.

The strangest thing was that after about 3 years it started loosing illumination around the edges which I suspect was due to failure of the LED's there, and I had to call out a TV engineer as it was under guarantee, first time in my life, very weird experience.

He brought a new display which is about 80% of the set and changed the boards over from the old one, nicer picture now I think they must have improved them. If it goes wrong again I will look on a certain on line auction and see if I can get one with a broken display, assuming that mine isn't, and make a good one up.
