Didu Supercharged January 11, 2021 Share January 11, 2021 2 hours ago, Adrianli said: Is the power supply still working? Maybe just power supply failed. There is power, as I can see the standby red light blinking. And there's clicking sound from the PCB board within. This started a couple of days ago, but still managed to turn on, until this morning. It has good display with brilliant colors. Too bad the life is short. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell the spoilt set off. I sold my LG one to a guy. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main switch power recycle also did not help. Haiz.... Looks like up lorry liao. Temporarily moved my bedroom TV over. So coincidence I in similar situation as u just few weeks earlier. Called up a repairman fr Carousell with good reviews to my house this Wednesday. Fr same symptom of standby LED ok but cannot power up, estimation $3xx if need to replace power PCB of the Philip's 65" TV. If decided not to go ahead, just pay $60. I thinking to repair as getting replacement easily add another $1k to $2k. Time is bad so being cautious haha. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on size n model.. some people buy to repair and or for spare parts. But I think old non DVB-T2 models not much value. My BIL recently bought new Sony TV trade in working old 40" non DVB-T2 FHD model they only offer $15. I think he could have sold it on Carousel for more.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days TVs no longer last 10+ years like last time. Nowadays can last 5+ years seems to be the norm. For Sony I find their Android smart menu not as user friendly as Samsung or LG. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to use a TV box to connect via HDMI. should be like 5 years or more. I have a Panasonic LED which had a built in digital tuner. But non DVBT2 so bought the antenna and box from shopee. if you are looking for value for money, maybe can look at TCL ? Giant is selling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within 6 months got line down the middle. 1 - 1 exchange for newer model cos his model was discontinued. personal experience with Panasonic is quite good. one plasma and one LED still going strong, both got teletext one.
