I am getting this TV tomorrow, if all goes well. I'll post the model # when I get it.
User reports that over the past few days the picture has gone with sound, followed eventually by the sound as well a couple days later. The green power LED remains lit.
To me, it sounds a lot like bad capacitors on the power supply for the inverter, which sometimes also powers the audio amplifier. This would explain the delay in sound failing, as the audio system uses less power, so may have worked with high-ESR capacitors.
If anyone has serviced one of these - any helpful hints/tips?
From what I can work out, Hanspree is just another budget TV brand, but they might make their own parts, including panels (HannStar display.) Made in China, probably...
