yes that’s exactly what happened. I had no idea it was there as it was around the time that I bought this telly that they started removing the on/off buttons.
All working great now that I figured it out with the help of this you tuber who seems to solve lots of tech conundrums.
Pleased to hear it Annie 
Well I’m not a TV engineer Annie, but if your kettle still works I would come and have a look at your telly…
Don’t some of these new smart telly’s have the same microprocessors as computers Mart?
Very susceptible to damage from static discharge.
I remember with the old CRT telly’s it was the other way round and it was you who suffered from the discharge if you were careless…
I’m not familiar with the workings of flat screen TVs but have had years of plugging in things using HDMI leads. Lots of interconnecting stuff in the mart household (plus friends relatives and neighbours places). The TVs have microprocessors but I’m fairly sure that plugging in an HDMI lead wouldn’t do any internal damage, even if the lead isn’t presented quite right.
It was just a shot in the dark Mart, even though I find Annie ‘fully charged’
Yes, Annie is switched on all right 
Only the pin up girl for Over Fifties Forum…
Never used to be spooked by a Siren, I’m a bit reticent now 
Don’t see many game birds now, just the occasional pheasant
