Re: [LUG] OT: Scavenging from a TV

 

take it to a local repair cafe i think there a few in devon if you not
got the electrically skills

Devon

Exeter Repair CafÃ
Repair Cafà Blackdown Hills - Cullompton
Repair Cafà Dartington
Repair Cafà Exmouth
Repair Cafà Kilmington
Repair Cafà Tiverton

https://repaircafe.org/en/visit/

if the psu is cheap enough most of them are just a direct swap , you
may be lucky and the person selling a recon or used one will be local
and i am sure he fit at reasonable price i would if i was selling
one...

mark redditch worcestershire (sister lives in devon so keep an eye out
for linux stuff for her)
