Bugger TV problem

[PORKSTER]

Evening my van TV powered by 12v has died.

Earlier this evening the with was struggling with the German style 12v socket thingmebob.
I had a look and it had pushed th pushed the tabs onto outer case shorting it and blowing fuse on ebox. So I sorted fuse sorted socket but TV won't power up.
You think it's died? Or maybe fused inside?

The TV has no markings it's fitted to a bracket that goes into a overhead locker.

Going to be a bugger sorting something that fits any ideas?

Thanks for any help ideas in advance.

There called Hela sockets. Try something else or check with a meter, sometimes if you short them out the positive terminal melts in the socket

Are you at home?
If so I could pop up and have a look.

Can't get any good pics.
There is no markings or model numbers anywhere.

Potentially 15 years old it's been in my ownership 8 I think

Is it possible the TV could have a fuse inside?
What if I got negative positive round wrong way.
I don't watch TV my self but don't fancy chatting to the missus

Yes, it is possible, if it fused & you connected it the wrong way round it would blow but could still do damage, fuses are slow compared to electronics. If not fused they sometimes fit a diode across the supply so if connected the wrong way it will blow a fuse in the supply, or a diode in series if the latter it just won't work with the supply the wrong way round. If no protection it will blow up the power supply

 

[PORKSTER]

Mines direct wire from socket to TV.
In simple terms how can I check my positive and negative correct?
I believe I put it back as was but I'm doubting now.

Or I just may buy a new TV
