Went ter town last week an bought a new telly, ripper! Got home ternight and set her up, ripper, hmmmm.... no juice..... bugger, plug the vitamin miser thing in, yep juice at the power thing but nix at the telly... Read thye instruction manual as a last resort, read it agen, hmmmm... I musta bought a dud, better take it 400clicks back ter town an complain. Ok, there's a phone number, ring, get on hold, stay on hold, remain on hold for the entire lifetime of several generations of millipedes... "Good Morning sir, ( 5 in the arvo!) my name is Davinda, (OMIGAWD!!!) Davinda takes all my details including my underwear size, hair length and sexual orientation and after 30 loooong minutes of this schidt says" Sir, please put your hand under the right hand side of the tellingvision," I does. "feel anything sir?" "OH!" says me... "That sir is the on - off switch sir"

You did read the instructions did you not. :oo::doh:
Don't worry it happens to others too.

At least you did not need to return it to the store 400 clicks away. :U

[tea lady]

Next you'll be able to find stuff in the shed! :D

Always RTFM.

If they solved that one over the phone for you I would say you are not the first to have that problem.

I remember being called in on a problem when the wiz bang gear in the auditorium would not work.
The lecturer his superior half the IT department and two of us Sparkies before we discovered a switch on the side of the monitor that some one had discovered and switched off for the first time ever when packing up the last time it had been used.

I actually checked after and it isn't in the instructions but I had turned it every which way looking.....

Ridiculous!!! That will never happen..

[Cliff Rogers]

You could have posted a question on here with the model number, underwear size, hair length and sexual orientation etc & we would have asked you "Did you turn it on?" :think:

There are still some helpful people on here. :)

Not your fault mate....if an on-off switch isn't immediately obvious to the user of the appliance then IMHO it is a very badly designed appliance.

[Christos]

Lets hope this does die down or people will be yelling out in the middle of his instructions at the wood show. "Did you turn it on?"

[Sturdee]

I musta bought a dud, better take it 400clicks back ter town an complain.

Or you could have used it as a doorstop. :U

I actually checked after and it isn't in the instructions but I had turned it every which way looking..... Should read:

I actually checked after and it isn't in the instructions but I had turned it ALMOST every which way looking.....

I know what the problem is with the manual. It is either:


You got the cheap telly with a switch and the manual is for the expensive telly which doesn't have or need one.
The manual writers expect Aussies to be brighter than the rest of the world and only mention the switch in other languages.

Fixes for this problem in the future. Buy the better/more expensive version or brush up on your Mandarin. :rotfl:

I am ofishaley an IDJIT :doh:Sheeit it's taken you almost 60 years to find that out. You really are slow on the uptake aren't you my little twinnie. It's been official for at least the last 50 years. All you had to do was ask me and I would've told you straight years and years ago.

Welcome to your senior years Stopper. It's just the beginning of OldTimers Disease which usually starts to set in around 3 mth before you turn 60.:rofl:

[wheelinround]
