No Image... ???

Image is there - just click on the file name to see it.

Looks nasty....I can’t help there.

Does it look the same no matter which source you are teying to play?

Yes, the “smudge” on the screen stays regardless of source. I am presuming it is the panel itself but hard to tell

@MM

Thanks ,- I didn't see that 🙂

@Neil

How was the TV stored? This could be moisture in the panel. Try leaving the TV on for a day or two and see if it changes in any way.

Thanks for suggestion. Tried leaving it on but no change so afraid it is a write off

Don't write it all off! At the very least there is a market for the stand and speaker, so maybe worth putting on eBay  From memory the stand is also suitable for a BV6-26.

Someone may also want the TV for parts - DVD mechanism or internal boards.  Advertise 'buyer collects' with a 99p start and you may save yourself a trip to the dump!

(EDIT:  Just noticed your location - not sure if they have eBay out there!  Or perhaps you are back in UK and haven't updated details?)

Hi,

If it's sure it's the panel, there is at least two of them to sell for quite cheap here in paris:

Thanks for all the feedback / suggestions. Unfortunately I am Hong Kong based currently and there is no meaningful second hand market so sale or repair difficult. A pity because it has been a great TV over the last 10-15 years I have had it. I will keep the speaker and find a use for that .... still toying with linking it to my BV12 as the built in speaker not very good in my set up up with 9’s and 18’s.
