1145742 2010-10-19 06:13:00 Just dont get a DSE LCD. They're probably Proview which are crap Speedy Gonzales (78)
1145743 2010-10-19 06:30:00 Definitely sounds like a faulty headphone jack or broken solder connections.

Would be very easy to resolder or replace - the hardest part would be getting in there (but it could be easy)

If you don't think it's worth anything, list it on Freecycle. Probably someone will take it off your hands who can fix it.

Also konka aren't the best. Best to go for a premium brand, you pay a little more, but worth it in the long run. I also wouldn't recommend samsung. Panasonic and sony are good.

1145745 2010-10-19 19:05:00 Well it looks as though the fate of my Philips is sealed.
I cannot sell it so far at any price (I would have accepted $5), but one of my grandchildren wants to have a go at fixing it - I didn't even know she could solder.

So it could end up being used and loved.

Yep - a Samsung - I don't like it as much as SONY but it was the right price. I saw it originally in DSE and then in Noel Leemings who were very helpful in telling me the various pros and cons - then they mentioned the price - I looked unhappy and told them that DSE were offering the same set at $150 cheaper. The sales assistant told me to hang on - went on to his computer (the internet I suspect) came back and told me they would match the DSE price - it pays to ask!

And the size 24" or 32"?

1145749 2010-10-20 00:51:00 Doesn't the working parts of a CRT Tv retain a very high voltage, even when removed from a power source, sufficient to kill? Richard (739)
