Shocking News

[DOC]

An important tip for new players on the block.

When the kids come running in and says the telly gone dud, think before you pull out the trusty screw driver and act like your a repair man.

I turned all power off and disconnected the lead , opened the back of the TV, vacumed the dust supply found, then proceeded to test, but still no luck.

Being sure it was a faulty switch i tried removing it for a better look but it did not want to play.

So then i spots the fuse and thinks, well i better check this and doing so i am guessing i had 240 volts now running up my left side, that was real fun.

Then just to prove I'm stupid, I thinks to my self thats strange, as its all off and unplugged and it must have stored some power some how, so i give it another whirl, and sure enough bang another shock down the left side ( these were powerful muthers and no soft jolt )

It was at that point my wife says your a left flanker the power still on ( from testing the stanby button )

The funny thing is even though my whole left side feels funny , it feels better, more refreshed and alive type feeling, and does feel like i have more energy in that side of my body.

I am concerned though with that being the case that if i go for a brisk walk that i may just spin around in circles due to one side running at higher revs than the other.

My suggestion to do the other side was squashed by the trouble n strife who was not happy with the idea.

Moral, darn lucky i think as I'm sure the centre tube section pumps up to 2400 volts and had I hit that, typing i would'nt be now, and best to call a repair man in.
