did'nt work but worth a try time to call in the professionals

Thanks for your thoughts on that compheat and that may tie up with what happened as he put the radiators on for the first time last week after a big summer break on a particular cold morning which had been off all summer and the fault just started from that time.I have advised him to start uip...

My son has a worcester 4.5 highflow on the heating side it has recently starting to come by itself on more than a few occasions even though the separate control panel is turned to off and the switch on the boiler itself is switched to hot water only my son has come down in the morning several...

absolutely correct daveg360 another fault that would lose the 9v magic eye feed from the skybox If there was a short on the cable the 9v rail on the sky box would close down to protect the power supply from frying until the short was removed. A cold continuity check with both ends of the cable...

So sorry for not knowing that mr. angry my phsychic powers had taken a day off the day I posted that and did not realise my only motive was to try and help what I unforgivenly thought was a layman and not an expert like you

well mickymoody if yours is a direct feed as differs from ericmark and Ian310 and you have powered up rf2 of your skybox via the installers menu on the remote control the next step is to measure the output on rf2 on the skybox you should read on a low dc scale of a test meter 6-8volts.If that is...

If your wall socket is the same as the diagram in eric mark post which is a common aerial socket then c1 and c2 are not decoupling caps they are signal connecting capacitors which of course will block your dc feed from rf2 of the sky box.Put a link across c1 and c2 which carries the dc feed and...

Thanks for the replies gentlemen but in the end my son has decided to buy a new one costing £68 as I told him the probability was that it was the magnetron which was faulty and a replacement magnetron was priced at £70 I believe most manufacturers are deliberately massively overpricing spare...

I realise this is a longshot but does anyone know or does anyone have a working magnatron from a microwave oven to test were they could tell me the ohmic reading if any across this device. My sons microwave has gone dead blowing the fuse on microwave command and I just want to confirm my diagnoses.

It is true that some scart leads are not fully connected some carry just a/v in/out or even just in but it is irrelavent as the scart connections do not output an amplified audio signal it is a fixed low signal only suitable for an audio amplifier input.If you tv is a 19" then I would assume it...

There is no reason to believe this would cause a picture or sound failure.If you can live with the irration of the whistle worse case scenario it possibly may get louder over time.

If this is a physical whistle as different from a audio whistle ie if you mute the sound and the whistle is still there then it is a physical whistle coming from a component on the chassis. I will assume it is the latter then it is almost certain to be either one of the numerous coils transducer...

Just a follow up on my previous post as there does not seem to be any refrigeration techs on the forum.I took out all draws , removed back panel eight screws slid back cover forward and out to reveal gas assy thermostat sensors and vent. I found the vent was completely iced up and the whole area...

Any refrigeration guys out there that may be able to tell me why my fridge freezer Hotpoint FFA97 is overunning. It is currently at -30 instead of the running temp of -18 I keep having to switch off to let it warm up to -18 to save the contents. The fridge appears to be running normal. Oh why oh...

The TV has what is known as a degauss fault.If the crt becomes magnetized or it is influenced by a magnetic field it deflects the beam causing it to hit the wrong pixels resulting in displaying wrong colours.There is a circuit in the TV which consists of a thermistor and coil which when the TV...

have a look at the parental lock options may have defaulted on switch on enabled. Factory preset 0000 may have locked out some menu's depends on grundig software worth a try

I have worcester 24cdi boiler and had it for six years my question is that in this time I have had radiators off in various rooms for decorating over the years and of course have had to top up the system with water every time after refitting.I would think now that the solution that was put in...

Thanks for the info lilypotter but going to that box the "prompt me every time box" was already highlighted however problem solved as he can now open his pictures from the "my computer" box

My son has lost the dialog box that appears when a memory stick or camera is inserted into a usb port giving the options etc.there is a tick box that he must have accidently ticked the last time it appeared asking if this option will be performed every time a usb input is activated.Any ideas how...

Yes it will probably take longer and longer to startup but over a long period of time however usually it is not advisable to run a tv when faulty but in my experience this type of fault does not come under that category of risk
