Okay, now, granted, i shouldn't be having a moan, but, i fished a 32" LCD Flatpanel out of a skip earlier today, and it works, for the most part, but, lemme explain...
Now, this thing has one or two very minor scuffs on it, not a problem. However, when using the HDMI to my PS3, its 95% perfectly fine - no panel problems at all, just every minute or so, the screen will kind of flicker, for a split second, and be normal again.
When using the SCART to my Satellite reciever, the audio is A-OK but the flickering is constant, as though its an old analogue TV thats not been tuned right, tilting the unit forward makes a 'klunk' noise and the flickering changes into vertical blurring.
I'm pretty sure that the panel itself is fine, and it's an issue with the electronics inside.
I studied Electronics at School, upto A-Level, i've got multimeters and tools, soldering irons and the like - BUT is this worth repairing, in order to save £500 on a new telly?
Incidentally, the model of the TV is thus;
Manufacturer: DUAL
Model: DLCD3221
Size: 32"
Any idea where i can get either a) schematics* or b) replacement parts?
* - Manuals in the 1980's used to actually come with the schematic diagram for the thing, now they barely say 'plug it in' - grr!
