Please tell me where I can get a similar telly, 12 volt, digital and anologue, freeview, LCD, TFT screen for under £20?

ahh..

i'm reading this on exactly the same telly, i use it as a monitor as well as my caravan telly.

did you actually blow the fuse by connecting the croc clips the wrong way round, or is it a common fault. if so i'll take some precautions before my next trip.

what value and size is the fuse.

Thanks for the advice so far.

... G7ACU, that sounds like a good idea. Can't quite work out from the pictures why I would need 2 though?

Hi Jeepster,

As luck would have it I have one of these tv's so I can find out from mne what type and value of the fuse is.

I have been into electronics for a number of years and so would be quite happy to put a new fuse into yours if you like. I probably have some fuse holders around so would do it for nothing. If something has died causing the fuse to go then it may not be worth repairing.

Unfortunately I am nowhere near Colchester (worcester) but if you want to send it to me I will gladly take a look for you.

Hope this helps

Regards

Steve

Greetings Again,

I'm no electrician but when my fuse 'went' I have a feeling that the TV was plugged directly into the 12v circuit of the 'van.

Since then I have taken the precaution of getting the supply via an inverter (75w £9 cost) to smooth out the variations in supply.

Apparently what could have done it for my machine was when the battery charger kicked in and gave the 12v supply a 'bit of a boost' (words given by someone with more knowledge than me )LOL 

I also where possible use an inverter, but im guessing that those who use the 12v are doing so when theres no mains power available

Your'e very welcome John.

Kind Regards

Steve
