Can't comment any further as the OP doesn't seem to know what he has. If the existing TV is powered through the wall there must be a way of sorting out the new one. Kind regards
Built this recently for my sister. Lined out with MDF, 3 dbl sockets are covered over with a panel, held in place with Velcro strips 50mm waste pipe from hole behind tv to top left of chimney breast. Earth wire hanging out stays put and is 3 times the length of pipe and acts as a drawer wire 3 pin plugs won’t fit through but hdmi and any other audio cables pass easily Easy really as chimney breast was open with a capped / vented chimney on the roof
Done over 5 years ago... HDMI, SVGA, Scart, 3.5mm audio, TV co-axial, Wii, led lighting strip and kettle power lead. Unfortunately the new tv does not need take a kettle power lead, so need to cut it off.
So what’s the wall construction ? Dot and dab plaster board perhaps ? And where is the socket providing the power ? Can you not remove mains plug from new tv and kettle plug off old, securely tape old and new cables together, pull out old and new cable will follow All theoretical of course, don’t know how tight those cables are and what kind of channel they pass through
It is a brick wall chimney breast, the power socket is to the bottom left of the chimney breast. There is no channel for the wires, so if it comes loose while pulling it, I would need to break through the brick to pull it out. If I cut off the plug, does it usually invalidate the warranty?
put this on the end of the tv lead https://www.google.co.uk/shopping/p...&ved=0ahUKEwiht5e-_sLdAhVeFMAKHY5fDvoQ8wIIswI
They don't seem to be on sale, unless you buy in bulk. Great, I think that solution would work. Cheers! Just need to secure it with some strong tape or something to keep it up from falling down behind the tv.
What Peter is saying is,cut the plug top off the television and fit a male IEC connector on the flex,this then plugs into the IEC lead that was feeding the old television.
Is this IEC suitable? Rating up to 10amps. https://cpc.farnell.com/bulgin/px0686/free-plug-rewireable-straight/dp/CN09937
