Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

never thought of using my esr meter to check a diode lol

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

Haha it can be a real hand when finding which diode is shorted when they are in parallel like this in Vestels just to see if the rest of the Tv works lol

Hi Vince. I use facebook, check out my page in my Sig. Does your local area have facebook sales pages ? My area has lots of sales pages set up some with 50,000 users in my local area Telford.

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

The benefits of using Facebook is its free to advertise. Hope this helps

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

yes i have a lot of the facebook selling sites etc, just cant find much being offered im nuneaton warwickshire so a small town but coventrys not far away, i will place a few more adds and see what i get offered the trouble is people think non working sets are worth stupid money buy the time you paid for them and repaired them no profit if i did sell them its hard to know what to offer people for faulty sets.

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

Hmm, maybe create an add and just keep posting it. If not check ebay there is a tonne near your area for sale. Just need to watch how much you pay so that you at least make a profit, I dont know what the market for refurb Tv's is like in your area so cant really comment on that. In my area its boombing lol sold 2*'40" Led Tv's for £150 each tonight

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

Fair play thats good money to make, and yes i will make some new adds up and place on facebook/gumtree etc although i certainly wont get that sort of money in my town for a 40in led lol people will want a new one for that.

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

Its a shame tbh that its coming to this with our crappy econ and cheap ass Tv's nower days. The market for Tv repairs and refurb Tv's is slowly going down but mare while make the most of it.

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

Nice Reecey, prices seem to be a bit better over there than over here.

It's happening with the whole of the repair industry as goods become cheaper.

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

Cheers have you checked the stock list Diif on my site. I normally offer £10 off if people collect as I dont drive so saves me more in the long run but normally get what I ask for do get the silly people who offer stupidly low but I ignore them and wait for the Tv's to sell

Yes just saw your stock list thats a good price with warranty etc i certainly wouldnt get that in my area but each area varies i guess, coventrys got loads of students for the universitys etc so 32in and above led sets you can get about £90.00 for if your lucky with asda/tesco/argos etc doing new sets so cheap its hard to make any profit.

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

Thats a shame With my area just about waiting sometimes before you get the right person whos after one.

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

Atm im being careful on what I buy, I no longer buy smashed Tv's at all unless I need the parts. I no longer buy SD or Tv's with grey surrounds. I no longer buy Tv's with Lcd or screen defects unless its a known easy fix to me.

[vinceroger69]

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

Ive never had to pay for smashed screen sets always got them free luckily ive got two grey surrounds 720p sd sets hard to sell them in my area im being asked too do more repairs at the minute like nintendo/psp screens etc or fit laptop parts screens/keyboards or fit peoples own brought power supply capacitor kits etc all experience and a bit of cash keeps me busy.

Re: 17PW82 No Standby Common Repair

Fair enough, I dont plan to sick at this after college will get an apprenticeship with Fuji but for the mean time this is fine I might do it on the side as well but ohh well I like fixing them so what the heck
