[Rossi]

Just Spoke to a mate at Central Appliance repairs in Geelong and he reckons if it's a CRT rear pro it is old and obscenely expensive to fix.
Upwards of a $1000 at least. If it was LCD it would be worth it at about $500.
He said "if it was my mate I would tell him to fuck it off"
I work in the Industry and can get you a new Full HD LCD for $1100.
If your nice that is?
Can't be doing that all the time though.

60 inch Hitachi CRT projector.........up until the picture went walkabout, it was a good picture.
I'm hoping it's just an IC thats failed as the screen went black instantly as I was watching it, but want to get an idea of the cost to repair it..........then a decision will have to be made[/quote]

[Slow and wobbly]

That's a fantastic offer mate, and I really appreciate it ................... but unless my 6 numbers get pulled on Saturday

I've just climbed out from the back of the telly and as most people have said ..........."it's rooted", got a B line voltage so the problem lies in the HV circuits, approx cost of spare part $1000

Internet diagnosis spot on...glad to see i haven't lost my touch

sorry to head about that tho rossi, but to be honest the part only costs about 1/3 of that. most of it would be labour.

Mal, this is Rossi ya talking about.. Rossi has a bike to decorate the garage, a bit like Mario except his decorates the loungeroom in pole position fpr the Moto GP when it resumes.

Don't even have to get off my fat arse to do this and all the calls are paid for by the Company.

Just gave my tv repairman mate a busted plasma so that is more motivation for him to find power pcb for your telly

[Stereo]

What make and model is it?

So its not a TV after all?

I hate to be defeeatist but we live in a disposable society so you're probably best to bin the farker.

That said if anyone has a predicament like this in Brisbane, there used to be an old bloke called Wilko (Wilco?) who could fix just about anything - he was down at Springwood/Daisy Hill area but I've just done a search and found:

Wilko's Electronics
Phone: (07) 3343 7788
Address: 26 Badminton St Mt Gravatt East QLD 4122

I assume this is the same guy so if anyone up here needs anything give him a try, if it's the same bloke he was really great to deal with (we did a lot through him back when CRT monitors were actually worth fixing!) and wouldn't yank your chain if something wasn't worth fixing.
