Just got in a LCTV which takes something called a ADP-24V12V-4P power
supply. Not sure if it works or not. Doesnt seem to be available
except at about the same price as the whole TV's total current value.

Does anyone recognise this unit and have any idea where to get one
please?. Seems to be available in Hong Kong where I cant believe it
would cost all that much.

I assume the original faulty PSU is not available to you?

If you can get the PSU from the same source as the TV then it should be
repairable - the casing will either be held together with screws or glued
on the seam. Screws are obviously easy, I've found that glued seams on
PSU's will break open if you place a stanley knife blade flat in the seam
and carefully hammer the back of the blade with the PSU placed on the
opposite edge on a sturdy bench or table (usually only breaks the glue
rather than cutting through the seam so unit can be re-glued after repair).

It's usually either the output electrolytics that fail or one of the lower
value startup electrolytics (22uf or 47uf at around 50v near the control IC
on high voltage side), change all even if no sign of distress (bulging
tops).
