    UMC TV

    I diagnosed mine by removing the suspect switch, hey presto - fault went away. So replaced switch. Mine was one of these:

    UMC TV

    I had exactly the same issue with an Asus screen (I've also seen it branded Relisis). It was a faulty volume up tactile switch on the set (not remote). The give away for me was the fact the volume OSD remained on permanently when in the fault condition. Hope this helps!

    Creda 3.5kw storage heater

    I had a 3.5kW storage heater on a 13a FCU - the fuse got so hot that the fuse, holder & FCU became one. I replaced with a 20a DP switch. But the OP says he replaced the switch, which I am assuming means the isolator.

    Electric Shower

    Good evening All. I don't visit this section of the forum often as plumbing is not my DIY forte! I have a problem with a Gainsborough Energy 1000x electric shower - the flow is quite poor with the valve set to fully cold & when turned towards hot, the "reduce temp" light comes on. Fully...

    plugs left on

    They look like a good idea, however these are air driven, so an electronic equivalent could be adjusted via a pot. Did you watch the vid on how to fit the Green Plug? Section One....... :roll:

    LG Smart TV

    This is what I feared - another cost saving I suppose. Not so long ago, vast connectivity was paramount when buying a TV, now you get about 14 HDMI ports & a mains input. So I'm thinking the way around it is to get one of these...

    LG Smart TV

    A friend of mine has the above TV, it has no analogue audio outs other than from the SCART socket. This works fine with Freeview tuner etc. but there is no audio from the SCART when using the internet features - YT for example. Does anyone know why this is? The manual (paper & the one on...

    Mini cooper accident damage

    I read that as: the phone flew across the car & the screen of the phone broke rather than the screen of the car?

    HV Pylon Anatomy

    Inspired by RF Lighting's recent pylon post, here is mine: This is the larger of two overhead supplies to an industrial estate. Does anybody know what purpose the metal screens in the centre serve? Also, what voltage are these carrying?

    floodlight in garden

    I would just like to echo what Bernard said here - I foolishly bought some iron flex from the bay, it went bang on the second use. Absolute crap & very dangerous. Beware.

    ITV (and others ) logo on screen

    My GF sometimes likes to put on one of the music channels with a logo, while she plays online games for hours. To avoid burn in, I just set the "aspect" to "zoom 1" issue solved - (at the expense of some picture degradation).

    Toyota Aygo Cd Problem

    Try a lens cleaning disc. Normally, I wouldn't recommend the things, but you would need to get the unit out of the dash to clean it properly.

    Shower screen seal - that tiny little gap!!

    It's a poor design, the shower screen at my GF's house has the same problem. Here's my (untried) suggestion - with the screen open, coat the plastic strip at the end with washing up liquid. Then close the screen & gun the gap in with white silicone. Leave the screen closed for 24 hours. The...
