My television no longer turning on I'm guessing I won't be worth fixing it. Anyone recommend as decent 40 inch TV
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Not as bad as Blowitup but lines appearing all over the TV - just over 2 years old.

Have it above the fire so assume that is the issue   :o

Had a similar issue with an LG TV. Only certain places repair them as the screen is glued on.. Not worth it. Had to bin and replace. Was only a few years old

 ;D  it is on a wall bracket.
Not singed but gradually getting worse with lines when the fire is lit.

A repair job of up to 150 I've been quoted. Five years old the TV was and never had any issue with it until the other day.

Have been to a few shops plenty of 40 inch TVs for sale. No rush to buy I'll keep shopping around are you saying none of them are decent?

Just a silly joke about them being small.

f**k it in the bin. Have had a couple of LG tvs fixed in the past (new LED back-light strips) but they didn't last.

Now, now. Bring it to the recycling centre.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Not about a tv but any suggestions on best place to get an iPad?

Just a general on, doesn't have to be too fancy.

I got a couple of refurbished computers from an outfit outside Belfast but wasn't massively impressed with them. They were grand but battery life wasn't great. Probably get what you pay for but that's the way it goes.

Looking for a new iPad now.

Any suggestions on best places to look?

Thanks in advance.
