    Anyone know of anywhere that still does tv repairs?

    The sister is having trouble with her telly lately, when she turns it on the picture is jumpy and fuzzy, sometimes the screen goes totally black, but when it warms up i.e. been on for a few minutes 5-10 it works perfect.

    She is thinking it may be something small and easy to fix rather than having to shell out for a new TV considering the one she has is only 4 or 5 years old I think.

    Suggestions?

    Find it odd that something should be going on it already but it must be!

    Less then 6 years old, my old portable tv that I have had as long as I can remember still works :)

    It's how things are built these days! My grandmother has a beast of a TV which has buttons for every channel on the side of it. Still going strong, except everything looks washed out like it's from the 70s on it...

    Tv's built nowadays will never last as long at the old one's the price to get a TV fixed is very high depending on what's wrong sometimes better off to get a new TV

    There used to be a place in the Johnstown Industrial Estate, they fixed my tv about four years ago but not sure if they are still there. There is also Toners just down from the Hyper

    The place in johnstown is closed (R&M) but Ollie from R&M is now based in the Sony center Westgate business pk Tramore road doing TV repair's 051844641 . TBH I alway's found Toner's a little exspensive.
