Re: Alba LCD26ADVD Picture freeze but sound continues

Sorry it's taken me a while to get back regarding this. I had a quick look when the T-con board arrived then went on holiday. Since then haven't had spare time to tinker with the set. With regards to the T-con board guess what... It's the wrong board! (either that or the set I'm trying to fix which is badged as an ALBA LCD26ADVD is another set in disguise!)

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I'm not an expert but have repaired a few TV's/videos/computers etc using what I know and what I've learned on great sites like this. Got a TV off a family member recently and looking for some ideas as to what's up with it so I can fix it for them as the norm these days seems to be to throw things away and I hate that - we should fix things more!
