In July 2007 picture went whilst we were watching a film but still had sound. bought the techwood from currys and took out a £670 3 yr warranty that expired February 2007. had an independant engineer look at it who stated that it was impossible for him to clearly identify the problem due to hybrid make up of the parts inside, he said the tv was made up of many different manufacturers parts. Sent the engineers report along with a letter asking for free repair and/or refund and/or replacement because the sale of goods act clearly states that it should last for at least 6 yrs without ware and tear faults. Currys replied 2 weeks later dismissing the engineers report and offering their engineers look at the tv for a cost of £120.00 and dependant upon their report they would decide if a replacement, refund or part refund/cost to repairs. when I telephoned currys after recieving thier reply the person I spoke with was very rude to me very arrogant and in the end hung up on me after accusing me of raising my voice to him. also, curry would not budge on wavering the cost of their engineers report/inspection. i am no pursuing it further with advice from Trading standardsIn July 2007 picture went whilst we were watching a film but still had sound. bought the techwood from currys and took out a £670 3 yr warranty that expired February 2007. had an independant engineer look at it who stated that it was impossible for him to clearly identify the problem due to hybrid make up of the parts inside, he said the tv was made up of many different manufacturers parts.

Hi the most common fault on this tv is what you describe .i fixed mine by replacing the capacitor (1uf 630vdc) at location c19 on the power board .. cost for this component less than 90p

Hi
A common problem for these is bad capacitors in the power supply, Remove the back from your Tv and look at the power supply on the left hand side.
You will see roughly around 9 x capacitors that are bulged / domed shaped on top usually these are valued at 3300uf 10V any that have bulged or leaked a brown like substance should be changed.
This will cure the problem as they overheat being sat next to a heatsink that gets very hot!
Try and change them for the same 3300uf but a higher voltage.
Hope this helps
UNPLUG FROM THE MAINS
UNSCREW THE TOP CASE
UNPLUG THE 2 SOCKETS REF PICTURE ( TECHWOOD AV BOX RESET AND UNPLUG )
LEAVE THEM UNPLUGED AND “PLEASE BE CAREFUL AT THIS POINT” SWITCH THE
MAINS BACK ON AND SWITCH THE POWER ON THE AV BOX, IF YOU GET A RED
LIGHT SWITCH THE SET OFF.(PLEASE NOTE THE RED LIGHT MAY NO ALWAYS COME
ON, SO DONT BE ALARMED).
PLUG BOTH THE LEADS BACK IN AND SCREW TOP CASE BACK.
CONNECT ALL BACK UP AND YOU SHOULD BE WORKING NOW
JOB DONE HARD RESET.
If the lines appear after your tv warms up then the problem is from the display board of your tv and unless this board is replaced then the lines will continue to appear.
I suggest you contact a repair person to help you replace your board.
Do not turn this television on! Any electronic that smokes is NOT GOOD! The smoke and accompanying smell is from plastic and solder that is being melted by a short on one of the TVs logic boards. Call a local TV repair man this is not an issue you could fix yourself and will most likely be better off buying a new television. Stay away from off brands like these, spend the few extra bucks on a name brand like Sony, Toshiba, LG, or Samsung and you won't encounter these types of issues.
First make sure to hit the menu button on the TV's remote and if nothing is there then friend while the set is on turn a bright flashlight on and shine at angle into the set push the TV menu button if you can see a image then your back light is not working.
You can also check the transformers they are close to were the wires plug into the panel, make sure all transformers read the same amount of resistance if not you have found a bad one. Now you will have to check to see if the power supply is sending 24v to the backlight, if not the power supply is bad. Cost backlights around 150.00 and power supplies around 100.00. Well this should help you friend.
