Looks like the connector for the stand - where does the other end go to?

But the BV7 should power up without that.

Do you have the other cables in the right places 👍

Is the standby red light showing up?

MM

I think it is as well. I have had the problem before.

No it does not, this cable needs to be connected somewhere, its not obvious.

No red light.

... I do have a cable connected to the stand socket on the back of the TV. It look like a larger version of the one pictured and originates from the stand. If that helps.

And now - where is the other end connected?

MM

I'm not sure. Cables into the back of TV were disconnected when it was moved. Its across a parquetry floor in cable sleeves bound fixed and taped. This was one of the cables that came from the rear of the BV7. It is sleeved (heat shrunk) in bunch that had the Digital audio in, and IR control out and its exactly the same length.

The power cable into the BV7 works, I tested it on a speaker.

The Stand connection into the BV7 has the same pins (looks star like), though its about double the pictured cables size.

Looks like a s-video connection to me.

Do you have aditional equipment attached to the bv7?

Ok, I think that is an s-video cable but you haven't mentioned which type of BV7 you have so it's difficult to indicate where it should go, but in any case it would not be what is preventing the TV from powering up.

When the power cable is plugged in does the dvd eject if you press the eject button on the TV?

On my 7-40mk3 there is a group of ports designed to be accessible when the TV is mounted, They are hidden behind a sprung flap near the top right corner when viewed from the rear - It's likely that the whole bunch you are describing were plugged into this section.

Could be a s-video connector.

Only s-video in on the BV7 I know of, is the one In the AV socket 6 on the side.

But connected or not should not have any influence on the powering up of the BV
