Hi, my 76 yr old mother has become bedridden so I thought that I would move
her big tv from the living room to the bedroom for her. After connecting it
to a socket & plugging in a set top aerial when I switch on all I get is a
small squeaking sound & one of the led's on the front of the set blinks
faintly, nothing else. It is a Beko superflat model about 3 yrs old. Have I
damaged something moving the set or does anyone know what the problem could
be.

Sounds like you probably killed something in the TV.
It may well have been dying anyway.
If it was me, I'd open it up and look for cracked solder-joints on things.
The squeaking (probably not from speaker) is the power supply trying to
startup and not quite making it.

Sounds like a change od temperature between rooms has caused the dew
protection.
It will take a a few hours or more for the condensation inside to dry out
before it will work.

Is it something silly, like it needs setting up again after having been
unplugged?

Sounds like the power supply tripping out - possibly caused by dampness.

Cheers guys, I'll wait a while & try again. Keeping my fingers crossed it is
moisture.

Sounds like the 'power board', in most cases its not worth repairing as the
repair costs more than a replacement set.

First step should be to see if it still works downstairs.

It's the psu tripping, you've disturbed a dry joint somewhere just carrying
it upstairs.
If she always had it on standbye before, it may be capacitors in the psu
dried out,
and failing to start, but my guess with a Beko would be a dry.
Get it repaired by a TV engineer, rather than a newsgroup.

Good theory, but the OP is talking about a TV not a VCR

Yes, this is the most likely as the OP is trying to make life better
for the woman, not give her lung disease.

The larger sets these days are heavy and too flexible for the mounts.
The screen and the board separates -and may damage some part as well.
Taking it to a small shop will get it looked at and a possible px
arranged in the worst case. Sometimes these small places will have parts
and can do the repair.

I bought one such and damaged it struggling up the stairs to my flat. I
took it back and told the man the truth* and he repaired it and brought
it back and set it up for 10 or 20 quid. - I can't remember the sum.

I'm still using it years later.

*My driving style in those days left something to be desired, somewhat.

Can TV's be operated under water?...
