...and WHEN to pull out is a useful piece of knowledge too

DON'T to that to an optical cable. It's keyed, twisting it might damage the socket or connector.

Your pullout game is strong.
Nooooo, I moved the bedroom TV to the lounge and it's working there. The other one still isn't working - but you knew that
Don't do that to a cork in a wine bottle either.
Champers maybe, but that's not how corkscrews work.

Digital outputs (optical and coax) were invented with the CD, which was in the early 80's, so that's around 40 years old now. They're pretty much an obsolete standard these days.

The way you say "you knew that" makes it sound like I'm the one who broke it. And I have problems counting to two. All I saw was TV broken, then cable unplugged, then TV working. #readingcomprehensionisgudNooooo, I moved the bedroom TV to the lounge and it's working there.

Thank you, that's what I was scared of because I wasn't sure whether to screw it or not. It was pretty tight but once I was sure it just need to be pulled out I used more force and viola (as they say )
The TV couldn't be removed from the cabinet without unplugging all the cables.
Hahaha one minute the TV was fine, next thing the screen was black
After unplugging that cable the working TV could be removed from the cabinet and connected in the lounge.
There's a Samsung accredited repair centre in Bryanston, so I'll take the broken one there.

Connected to the same decoder? DSTV?
Which model? Lots of issues with DSTV these days involving pic no sound, sound no pic, failed outputs on RF and optic even HDMI.
Might not even be the TV.

That's right!
it's on in the background Saturdays and Sundays, even when they broadcast repeats. Some of those cases are eye openers and the people OMW.
