Thomson Life TV is marked as 10MK16UF, type: 426/TX807C GB. I have not found any interesting resources about it on the Internet. It is great match for retro computers, because it has RF, composite AV and SCART inputs.
Schematics include information how to enter service mode.

Reassembly






Where do you find all this unusual gear ?
The design looks very much similar to an apple mac se/classic.
Auctions mainly. Broken or unknown condition go cheaper and fixing is just fun. This one was not broken though.
Longshot, but do you happen to have a list of capacitors for this TV?
I have one with faulty sound and think a re-cap might help?
No I don’t have the list of capacitors. I have not recapped it, but I also have a problem with sound – on av there is high noise at constant volume.
Exactly the same problem for me. I ended up unplugging the speaker inside, however I am looking for a permamnet fix. I wonder if a re cap could do it.
I just got one of these and had similar noise. I messed around in the tuner menu and set it to France (not entirely sure how I saved the setting, but it did stick after more messing around, which stopped the noise.
I have one of these TV’s, if anyone is interested in buying it? Thanks
Hey Mark I’m local and interested in buying it off you, is it still available?
Hi Mark
I would be interested.
How much were you thinking of?
I’m in Harrow, is that near you?

Hi Chris,
To be honest, I have no idea how much to charge. I know it’s not worth anything to me and rather than just scrap it if you can use it then that is great. How about £30?
I live in Cardiff. I’m guessing that’s too far for you to collect? it could be a little pricy to post.
Thanks
Mark
Hi Mark
Many thanks for getting back to me.
Cardiff eh, the city of castles!
I’ll have to give this opportunity a pass. It is little outside my budget and by the time it is Boxed up to to make sure it isn’t damaged in transit you may well think it wasn’t worth the effort.
Good luck
Chris
Hi Chris
That’s not a problem at all. Thank you so much for connecting with me though
Mark
May be late to the party, but if Mark Rees is still subscribed – I’m not too far away and could save it from the scrap heap.
Hi Guys we’ve just rediscovered one of ours, tried to rig it up to a digibox but no menu screen showing. Are they incompatible or do I need a better aerial connection. Your help appreciated.
