May be possibly bad 8 pin eeprom similar to laptop BIOS these can sometimes be replaced if you have a good image from an identical tv

Hi my TV will not switch on. it has a extended warranty but its worth less as you have to have the original receipt which was printed on thermal paper and with age it has gone blank and Tesco can not help

If TV is only 2 year old you still have warenty on it any thing electrical has a minimum 5 years manufacturing warenty by law so thay have to fix at there cost or replace. So stick your ground they just don't want you to know this

Technika DV3-T
I've had mine for years. I'd say 5-8 years. The DVD player stopped working about 3 years ago. Then recently I left the tv on, fell asleep and woke up and it had completely shutdown. No red standby light, it's like it was unplugged. Changed the fuse and still no joy. I think it's time to get rid of it.

fault is probably on off switch, mine been changed twice then independent repair shop by-passed it, switch on at socket now and no probs, repair cost £22

cos they are rubbish both mine have been faulty from day one

Checked the fuse which is okay and had a look inside the tv to see if there was any fuses inside but I could not see any. The stand by light will not come on, which in turn means that I cannnot do anything.

identical problem has just occured on my tecknica lcd 19''1d-107 don't think i'll try the £30 remidy thanks Brian.

Sorry to hear of your trouble. My Technika 19 inch tv has just developed the same problem, two years and three months old. Tesco's help-line told me there was nothing they could do to help, so I took it to an independent repair centre, which charged me £30 to look at it. They report that it is not repairable since the mother board has failed and parts are no longer available (on a 2 year old product?) The reason the mother board failed was one of the four metal brackets which secure the screen inside snapped off its two tiny plastic screw-mountings and fell onto the board. Apparently, these tvs have only three significant components: screen, mother board and power pack. If any of these fail the tv is a write off. If tv repairers know this, charging £30 for something they could have told me without me handing the set over for "investigative work" seems questionable. I'm going to take the matter up with Tesco, given this is a failure caused by a fault in the assembly of the tv (the bracket fits on a tilt whilst the screws bite into the plastic prods straight - a sure fire way to induce plastic fatigue, it seems to me. Hope you have better luck. I will think twice before I buy another non-branded tv, AND take out insurance. £30 spent on an extended warranty now seems better value than the £30 I spent on a doomed tv repair attempt plus a £200 tv write-off! Does anyone out there have an identical model (LCD191D-107) tv with a failed screen or power pack - by combining the working elements a functioning tv might be assembled.
