My 7 year old Hitachi TV has started to develop the problem of having sound but no picture until gently tapped or moved, then the picture comes back (though sometimes goes again until the above is repeated). Is this an easy fix, an expensive techie job or time for a new tv? Thank you
do you have a local mender who works cheap and will give an honest estimate?
a 7 year old telly is a catch 22 ... young enough to still be worth hanging on to .... old enough to justify a change without looking extravagant.
It could be any part of the bits that deliver the picture .... whatever it is ... sounds to be loose ... that could be a connector (most likely) ... or it could be a component on the board.
trouble is ... tellys can bite .... and they have big teeth ... opening the back can be dangerous if you are unfamiliar.
Thanks for all yr answers. Will persevere until my wife or children complain that the tv doesnt work and that will be my excuse to get a new one! Thankfully it is the tv in the 'spare' room. Cheers one and all.
