Page 1 of W/S TV broken - help/advice needed

I purchased this model of TV in Feb 2004 (the Bush WS6674SIL); last night it suddenly cut out when it was on, and I can`t get the set to switch back on again - when I push the "on" button in, there`s just a faint repeated whistling sound, but the red light that normally comes on isn`t there and the remote control therefore can`t activate the TV.
I have emailed the helpline address given, but would appreciate any ideas from forum members. Obviously, the set is only 14 months old, which is very annoying. I am not sure what the best thing to do is - getting someone out to repair it could be expensive, or they might tell me it`s unrepairable - in any case, money spent on that could be put towards a new TV.
Any ideas, either specifically to do with the symptoms, or in general about where to take it from here?
Thanks in advance for any replies...

Sounds like a power supply problem,you need a engineer,cost who knows try and get a free estimate,also 14 months old is a bit bad,push the shop from where you brought it from to fix it for free,nothing to lose trying...I mean 14 months.

Yep, sounds like a power suply. £80-£130?

All the best,

It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I`ve heard back from customer services and they`ve asked for a copy of the receipt, so we`ll see where that leads. I`ve also emailed the shop, telling them I think that 14 mths is very poor value for a fairly major purchase.

If it ends up costing into three figures to repair it, I think a new TV will be on the cards. Or should I say another new TV.

Thanks again,

Dazza.
