TV Wall Mounting Help Please

Chappers · Nov 18, 2024

I’ve moved into a house that has wiring etc in place to wall mount my TV.

My TV Has a large brick on the power cable which makes mall mounting tricky.

Coming out of the wall is a blue 3 pin connector for power.

Am I able to somehow connect the TV to the connector minus the brick? Pic 4 shows the connection to the brick from the TV, if that makes sense.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Trying to look at the pictures but it is giving me a server error which suggests that the source is not accessible

The "brick" is the tv's power supply, you must use that. You need to fix it to the back of the tv or the wall somehow, cable ties are often good for this.

The previous owner looks to have used an in line power connector, and "helpfully" walked off with the mating part. This was presumably to take up less space than a 13A plug so get the tv closer to the wall. Your best bet is just buy another in line 3 pin flex plug and socket and use that instead. Make SURE the power is turned off before you swap the one that is there for the new one you have bought.

Unless of course someone here recognises the connector you already have and where to buy it's other half.

Thank you, much appreciated

The blue connector is one half of a Click Flow connector which a lot of electrical wholesalers sell. Given it is not clear how the circuit is protected (fused) it may be better to swap it out for one of these trailing sockets
