Just an update on this, bought an LED tester for £12 and revealed that the LED strips are divided into 4 circuits, 1 is non functioning. Good news is it looks like the rear of the TV will come off rather than the usual way of removing the LCD panel to get to the LEDs. Still not sure where I can...

where did you get the diagram? It won't work. Its a 3 phase motor, best options are either get a single phase motor or get a VSD (variable speed drive) which will 'convert' the single phase supply to a kind of synthetic 3 phase by using inverters. The variable speed function probably useful in a...

wago connectors need to be used individually, ie 1 for L, one for N and one for earth. the number of 'holes' in it define how many cables it is designed to take. For example a 2 way wago allows for 2 cables of the same polarity to be connected together. don't forget these connectors need to be...

just tried to register unsuccessfully.... can't search for anything unless you are a member

Well pretty sure its backlights. I have ordered a tester for a few quid which will power up the LED strips if they still work and will tell me if they don't. If they don't its likely its scrap as I can't find replacements. If the strips are OK then I know its the main board with the PSU etc and...

The 'customer' doesn't want it back. if I can fix it its mine :)  if it were mine I would have been on the phone to Cello, but I don't know all the circumstances, if all else fails it will go in the WEE skip.

Currently trying to repair a Cello C85ANSMT-4K LED TV. Its just over 2 years old and cost over £2K new. Customer says it just went blank when he switched it on one morning. Still playing sound but no picture at all. TV powers up but no backlighting coming on hence lack of picture. Backlighting...

up a ladder in an awkward position so not concentrating. Schoolboy error I know. I was more angry about the carp junior though.

Yes I am allowed to go to work, Port Authority is a key operation so business as usual for me.  Could have ordered one online but I needed it ASAP To make matters worse after finally connecting the aforementioned SWA cable, I was up a ladder stripping a piece of T&E the usual way bu...

and to cap it all, Drakeford expects UK gov't to pick up the bill! (for the ;lockdown, not my hacksaw)

So here we are, locked down again in Wales. Only 2 weeks, its the weekend so catching up on some work around the house. Decided to finish off a shed and outside WC project. SWA already in, ran cables around for sockets and lights etc. Now its time to make off the SWA cable, wheres me junior...

Not seen the term 'ELCB' for a long time.......

some ovens are only 3kw or less and can plug in. I notice that one is a 6.2kw I remember in NZ you could buy the bare grid and insert light switches and cooker switches on the same one if you wanted, as long as you had the right cable in the box.

Thanks SL, the machine in question in your link is no longer available, if you do decide to do anything be careful. I dusted off my VCR and popped a tape in and it chewed it up. Thorough clean of heads and mechanism was done and now at least I know the tapes will be safe, if the heads are dirty...

I have recently unearthed a pile of old VHS tapes. Mainly home video of my family etc. I want to get them all on to the PC to edit and sort out storage properly. I bought a cheap USB stick with composite cables that can go into the VCR but its poor and lots of interference. VHS plugged directly...

In NZ and Aus, the twin and earth (TPS as they call it) contains 3 insulated cores all of the same size. No need for sleeving, although if they used switchwires the same way as we did they would need to identify the switched live return for example. They don't generally use this method instead...

well from 2022 all new cars will have speed limiters that recognise speed limits and slow the car down when necessary. Don't tell me these systems won't know where we are? More and more surveillance, people using Alexa etc having goodness who listening in to private conversations, cameras...

Nothing new in this:  This was written 2000 years ago. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of...

I don't know how many times I have been told by someone (usually who has just bought or are thinking of buying a house) that it needs rewiring. I usually ask 'who told you that?' and the culprit is usually an estate agent or a surveyor. In most cases it requires a few improvements such as...

I got one of these Really good and has a sensor so to switch on/off you just wave your hand in front of it.
