Goodmans tv power failure?

Question

I have a goodmans 28 inch widescreen tv and for about a week it was getting stuck in standby and i had to keep pressing the buttons to get it to come on and after about 40 mins it would come on then on sunday i turned it on and again it was stuck in standby but it would not come on so i turned it off and when i turned it back on it would not come on there is no power at all now i have changed the fuse but nothing so has anyone got any ideas.

Answer 1

yep, goodmans aren't a great tv, some say that they look nice.

If it's a under a year old, you can take it back to the shop you brought it from, it gets repaired free ( but you will be without a tv for a 1-2 weeks ).

If older then a year, then you will have to pay for the cost, which could be anything from £30-£100.

Try phoning goodmans up and ask if this is a common fault ( which it is ) and ask them how to do a check " over the phone ", therefore they can suss out what problem it is and give you a choice of what to do.

Answer 2

Pretty standard fault with many sets not just Goodmans.

This is a power supply fault Usually due to PSU capacitors drying out.
This can be repaired at a reasonable cost though to get the best price you will need to take the set to the engineers workshop.

My price on this in The west midlands would be £20 - £28

I advise you to ring around locally and get some idea of prices in your area

Answer 3

Ive got an idea that the power supply has failed probably due to Goodmans wonderful idea of using terrible electrolytic capacitors in their power supplies

Answer 4

This is a very common problem with Goodmans televisions.

It will cost more than the television is worth to get it repaired, I'm afraid.

Answer 5

Well you usually change a fuse if its blown.

Take it to a local TV Repair shop.
