I just bought a 42" hd plasma tv samsung, for £30, the tv powers up but funny pattens on screen, see pic Any ideas any one on what could be wrong, someone told me could be the buffers, £30 on ebay. But if any one knows better please feel free to give your opinions, or advise tv repairs that do free estimates.
I bought a faulty TV (off here) a few weeks back, took it to the TV shop at the top of Victoria Park.
The fault was it wouldn't come out of standby. At first he thought it was the PSU, but a bench test on that showed it to be okay, so he told me it must be the controller card, but he couldn't get one at a reasonable price, and had just missed one on eBay.
I managed to find a card for the same model and he configured it, charged me £48 for the whole job (I'd bought the part) which I thought was good value.

I've been in that shop a few times, lads seem genuine.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

I don't have any parts and generally avoid mucking around with large screen TVs like the plague.
Its just passing interest as my trade is electronics or more technically avionics (electronics that fly - not through windows).
