Hi Folks.
Went to town today (over a hour's drive),to go to the electronics retailers to buy some goods,main menu item being a LCD TV.
I worked out a 32 inch would do the job,I had the the dimensions of where I wanted it to fit,so took my little tape measure,and soon found a model that gave me an inch to spare,the next model was just too big.
We purchased LCD,got it home,unpacked it to find the store had given us the wrong size-the larger one which was a hundred dollars dearer,how the scan at check out did not pick this up I do not know.(we paid the lower price for the one we wanted)
Worse to follow was on closer inspection of the battery compartment,there was no metal bits in one half of the battery bay-there was no way the battery could power the remote-see images.
I rang the store,which I thought would have been pleased-there tally of items would be out on this model we bought at lower price.
Only to have them tell me they may not swap it over,but send it away to be fixed.
Surly,having a item for only a few hours to find it had bits missing would just be exchanged or refunded.
So no Ashes series on the wide screen tommorow
I thought I'd post these images of the inside of the remote,there appears no printing on the circit board behind the battery bay.Thought some of the tec guys here could confirm its a 'dud'.
Then at least when I take it back,I can say experienced electronic tecs have looked at it.
Out of the 5 electrical items bought 2 did not work or had issues.
I find 1 out of 3 electronic items bought these days will not work.
The LCD cost quite a bit-not a cheapy,also the one we ended up with was 100 dollars dearer,than the one I wanted.
