Been given tv but no lead to plug in

Angie, March 2016

One assumes you are talking about the mains lead. What shape is the connector on the TV?

This is common. It is generally referred to as an "IEC" connector. Here's a 3 metre lead, although they are freely available in different lengths.

Right angle, to save space behind:

Straight

The other type it could be is often called a "Figure 8 connector". Here's a typical one:

Its vaguely possible the TV has a "Cloverleaf" connector. Here's a typical lead:

But I do have to agree with the other comments; its a bit pathetic that you couldn't e ven search for "mains lead" and look at the pictures. Learn how to use Google, for heavens sake!

Are you really that completely hopeless?

Don't worry Angie - I'll nip down to the shops and buy a lead and come round tomorrow and show you what to do.

Or - you can get one from Amazon.

Good Grief..., March 2016
