    As per my other thread in HE Video Displays, do you guys know where I could my old 32" Philips widescreen CRT repaired or could you repair it for me? :D

    Up until last week it was grand, only 7 years worth of service (and not even heavy use at that), then in the middle of the Ireland match the screen started to flicker really badly, with a small humm/buzz coming out the back every time it flickered. About 10 seconds later it shut itself into standby. Leaving it off for a few minutes didn't help, today it doesn't last 3 seconds on before going off ..I'm thinking it's a power supply issue, but I could be well off the mark. :confused:

    I'd just like to get it repaired because I don't have enough to get a third TV off you folks :D

    You can bring it into us and we can look after it for you.
    Our service guy can analyze what is wrong with it and provide a quote for geting it fixed.
    He's with us Tuesdays and Fridays mostly.

    The booking charge is €50 which is deductable from the final repair.

    cheers

    Hey Ashley,

    Thanks for that. I'm loving the 8404 as are my folks. Aside from the multimedia support issues, it's a fantastic TV, my eyes are going square from watching it so much - delighted with the purchase!

    Howdy Ash,

    Thanks very much for the repair - and thanks to the two guys who put the TV into my mam's car, I heard it was awkward but thanks folks

    *edit* Unfortunately after a mere hour of working the screen is back to it's flickering ways of old. I'd give it two more weeks and it'll be unusable. Looks like I made the right call jumping on the Pioneer 32" :)

    Touching - if its up to its old tricks just pop it back into us - or of course we will give you a refund!

    On lifting it into the Mams car - no problem that's what we are here for!

    Finally - Pioneer 32" - V's tube TV - no contest!

    Howdy John,

    I only paid the €50 booking charge to repair the TV, and the repair guy said the work couldn't be guaranteed because of the age & condition of the tube so no worries, I'll be taking it to the WEEE facility here for recycling :)
