I think a with a T-Con fault you would get sound, but no picture. I believe, yours is not powering up at all? How confident are you to take the back off the tv (power disconnected of course) to post a close up photo of the arrowed parts in the picture below? If the silver tops of these...

sounds like a classic case of bulging capacitors on the power supply board. An easy fix for someone handy with a soldering iron... http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2033121

is it the underside of the boards is wet? If so, could it be condensation?

I think the parts required to fix the boiler are not what the landlord is intending to fit.It appears he is fitting a "workaround" to the problem. From what I gather the fault means that the hot water does not work on its own, only when the heating is on. What the landlord is intending to do...

thanks all for the replies. The skirting arrived this afternoon and at first glance I think I need to do a fair bit of scribing due to the floor being all over the place, so cutting down the wooden floor end seems to be the best option.

I have a rectangular room (two rooms knocked into one). I am planning to have carpet in the front (lounge area) and wooden floor in the rear (dining area) with some type of transition strip down the centre. Ideally, I would like the skirting to go over the top of wooden floor so I don't have...

Heh, yes it probably would have. It's all changed now though - got a nice new Henley Series 6. Took about 2 hours in all to change. He even sweated the earth connection to the lead sheath. Top job.

yes, that is usually the case especially with stuff like clothes, tools, etc. Surely products such as consumer units have to be manufactured to meet a set of standards. And this product says it meets IEC60439-3, EN60439-3 of which there are BS equivalents. I'm guessing the major difference...

Have you used it?

no idea - was like it when I moved in. The insulation tape is all dry and brittle, so I guess it happened a long time ago. Probably when it was rewired last in the late 70's early 80's. Then again the cream wylex has a wooden back open to the wall, so maybe a tad earlier?

tell me about it. i'll be having nightmares tonight I think, lol

Can anyone id the age of this cut out? And here it is with the broken & insulation taped up cover removed: Expecting to find a fuse holder and actually seeing this behind the cover brought me out in a cold sweat, lol. To me it looks like a cast iron dual fused system that has had...
