Sound but no picture on your TV? The torch test tells you in ten seconds
A black screen with the sound still playing is one of two very different faults. A torch, a dark room and ten seconds tell you which one you have before anyone comes out.
Every topic
Reading is free. So is a first opinion.
Tell us the fault and you get a first opinion, free: what it sounds like, whether it is worth doing, and what it is likely to cost. A photo of the screen or the machine helps. A visit has a £50 call-out, agreed before we travel, which is the first £50 of the job rather than an extra on top. You get one fixed quote, agreed in writing, before any work starts. If we cannot fix the fault we quoted for, you pay nothing for the repair. No Fix, No Fee covers the repair, not the call-out.
