We can repair all makes of audio and visual equipment including Samsung, LG, Sony, Philips Toshiba, Bush, Hisense, Goodmans, Hitachi, Denon, Marantz, Hisense, Ferguson, Acer, Blaupunkt and many more. The only thing that stops us is if parts are no longer available.
We can transfer your material to pretty much any digital format you like. On a DVD disc your material will be recorded so it plays back in any DVD player and most media players on your computer. On a USB stick we can convert your material to the following formats: MP4, AVI, DIVX, MOV, MPEG, WMV, MKV, M2TS, GIF. We can also put your material in DVD format on the stick so it plays back like a DVD disc with a start menu when you open it. Most of these formats can be played back on your computer or smart TV. We recommend MP4 for the widest compatibility.
The cost of replacing a damaged TV screen is usually at least 70% of what the purchase price of the TV was. If you have accidental damage cover on your house insurance we can provide you with a damage assessment report. This will usually result in your insurance company providing you with a brand new replacement TV. Your TV may have some residual scrap value. If you email us the make and model we will be able to give you a valuation. Our email address is service@movingpictures.scot
The only repair on a TV which would normally be considered uneconomic would be a screen replacement. This might need done if the screen has been damaged or if it has developed a screen fault. The majority of faults occurring in televisions are not related to the screen and can usually be repaired for a fraction of the cost of a new TV. A component level repair on a large screen TV usually costs around £80. A board or backlight replacement normally comes in at £100 to £130 on a large flat screen LED or LCD TV. There is also the environmental benefit to getting your TV repaired. The resources and energy used to make spare parts are only a fraction of those required to make a new TV from scratch.
Small flat screen televisions up to 32” cost between £50 and £90 to repair. A large screen LED or LCD TV over 40 inches will typically cost between £85 and £140 to repair depending on the type of fault and parts requiring replacement. The only repair that will cost more than this is if the screen needs replaced. This typically costs around 70% of the new price of the TV. A component level repair will tend to be at the lower end of the price range. Board and backlight replacements will come in nearer the upper end of the range. Considerable savings can be made by using reconditioned replacement boards.
