Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

[Charlottechicken]

I have been given a 28" TV (CRT), about 5 or 6 years old, hasn't been used for two years. I got it all set up, and after an hour or so there was a crackle with an interrupted picture, then sound and vision went, accompanied by a nasty burning smell It is so heavy, I couldn't remove it from the house, but managed to get it off the TV table and manouvered it into the fireplace (best place for it to go up in smoke I thought ). It has sat there for about four weeks, I tried it out again the other day, and there is no picture, just sound. I don't need it as my own old telly works just fine, it's just a lot smaller. Shame really, it's a nice telly but I'm not in a position to have it repaired, and there's only room for one telly in the living room!

 

So I was just wondering before I call the council to dispose of it, anyone know what might have gone on it?

 

And what can I recycle from it

I'd be inclined to advertise it on freecycle for spares. Someone will bite your hand off for it.

We had a telly that went on the blink and I got rid of it through freecycle. Obviously someone had a use for it or thought it was worth trying to fix! (I made it very clear that it was broke!)

Thanks for your replies!

 

I am loathe to try Freecycle for something so heavy, already had 'no show-ers' for other stuff, but that link is great, Chickenlass! Everything on it points to our local council, so I will phone them to come and recycle it for me.
