The large store I bought it from in the local Retail Park is no longer there and the 'engineer' who did the 'repair' for me is no longer in business, surprise, surprise! Call me Mr.Cynical, but I am now firmly of the opinion that if you want something doing properly, do it yourself; nobody ever seems to do a proper job anymore. I decided to cut my losses and attempt the repair myself, which looks to be easy enough if only I knew what the components should be. I have a fair stock, and probably suitable diodes, I just don't know which ones they should be. I replaced the set when it stopped working for the second time and it is now taking up space in my workshop. Once repaired, it can resume operation in my snug, useful as it has a built in DVD player which its replacement has not. Cost is no longer the issue, like most of us, space is the prime consideration.
