TV goosed?

[GROWLER]

Got an owld JVC. had it for about 7 years now, and it's been a grand old thing. 

The speakers have started playing up now thouggh, and now having to resort to the common and well know temporary repair, commonly known as 'twatting it' to spark the sound back into life.

Is this proper fixable do you think, or should I reluctantly bin it for one of these nasty modern thin digi things, seeing as you seemingly can't get a PROPER telly anymore?
Picture is still real good too. Be such a shame to see it go for such a trivial fault.

Take it apart and waggle all the little plugs and sockets to clean them.

Works 9 out of 10 times for me.

Think I might just try that seeing as my name is NOT Nick.
Can't be that difficult, surely?

Does me 'ed in the way modern things just don't last anymore.
Do they deliberately build in a timer for things to become goosed?

Moral of the story ....nothing lasts forever 

[apc2010]

Disconnect the internal speakers ........and buy some external ones...........if the pic is ok

[Miss Demeanour]

Most tv in the market today are rated at 60,000 to 100,000 hours before they go half it's brightness too 

[Snoopy]

Most tv in the market today are rated at 60,000 to 100,000 hours before they go half it's brightness too 

  So they stay brighter a lot longer than most of us then.

[Miss Demeanour]

Depends on how much you've been used hun

Does it vary according to the type of program you watch?

60,000 hours of Strictly Come Dancing vs 100,000 hours of Blue Planet?

It is the same time...

Correct. 

What's a PDA?
Phukin' Dangerous Animal?

[GROWLER]

Explanation on this PDA that you speak of would be gratefully received, preferably BEFORE I stick me paws into the back of this wretched machine.

Getting loads of grief from G Jnr, as he's getting sick of having to use my prefered fix, more commonly known as 'Twatting It'.
