Default Can anyone mend my telly?

Me has a Ferguson 28" Dolby telly about 15 years old wot worked fine for
several years and then wouldn't switch on. A mate who repaired computers
had a look and it was just a single thingy (resistor or capacitor I think)
in what he said was called the power circuit. He soldered a new one in and
it worked again for a few more years and then died again. I'm guessing
it's the same thing broken. Said mate no longer plays with electrickery
things having found himself a bonkable girlfriend finally for the first
time in 40 years. I can't argue with that. We all have to lose our
virginity sometime.

I know I'll get ripped off in spades if I take it to a "proper" repair
shop. Anyone near enough to Amersham that I can drive to fancy having a
crack at it? I'm thinking Mr Plowman might have the necesary skills.



Realistically the set is totally un-economic to repair. Spend the money on
getting a new set.
