Rather difficult when you don't mention the make and model of the TV?.

Yep! - so not a very good set, but they are fairly repairable!.

Yeah, the reliability of them for the money though is unbeatable.

Hello Paul

Good description. Looks like you have done a bit of research and you are quite right. It's a Vestel 11AK45 chassis.

Sounds like the frame IC and probably the EEPROM (it's memory), it probably thinks it is a toaster.

£30 deposit (which comes off the bill if you go ahead). £45 labour + £35-£45 parts depending on which version.

Somewhere between £80 & £90 then. Think yourself lucky that Sharp did not build the guts to this, as their designs are crap and expensive to repair.

Hope this helps.

ok latest installment.. repair man, said it is the frame chip, and also 3 burnt out resistors.. total cost £70 ..
question is it worth repairing,,, .....

iDan · 24-05-2007, 22:34

That's your decision...

Yep, if it lasts another year or more then it's cheap entertainment really (you can't rent for 1 year at that price) or put the money towards a new TV......
