I have a Techwood LCD37722HD 37 in. LCD TV and I BOUGHT THIS TV FROM AUCTION AS PART OF A JOB LOT OF OTHER ELECTRICALS AND LAPTOPS.

WHEN I FIRST TESTED THE TV A RED LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I CHANGED THE FUSE IN THE PLUG BUT NOW THE TV WILL NOT POWER UP AT ALL. THE TV ITSELF IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. NO MARKS OR SCRATCHES FROM WHAT I CAN SEE.

Please what do i do and if it needs repairing how much do you think it will cost? im in the UK.

Sorry about caps lol!

Cheers

LCD repairs are never cheap, such poor makes as this tend to be very unreliable, and difficult to get spares for - if they are available at all.

In my opinion i think the TV has had it, and the repair would probably be more expensive than the tv itself, and as to my knowledge Techwood don't even have a website, so even a safe repair is unlikely.

Techwood is just a badge, not a manufacturer - so they aren't likely to have a website, or indeed any service facilities. Repairs 'may' be possible if a service engineer can identify what make it actually is, and if spares are available for them.

This is why most service departments won't touch such stuff, it's more bother than it's worth.
