Poorly written code that works, and keeps on working, triumphs over elegant code that hasn't been deployed or doesn't work.
Also, having the 'OK' button in the right spot means more to users than the architecture of your solution.
I've based my 12 year career on putting out crap code that works.

Hey, you're the one with the pseudo name "Slacker"
p.s. Don't pick on the "senior" coders - I am very senior and take great pride in producing quality stuff.
p.s.s. Where's the wink-wink smiley? That emoticon was done with a ';'.

The universe has provided these idiots to serve you: thanks to them, you will never be unemployed.
I do feel, however, that the universe should provide a type of "buy four, get one free" policy - i.e. after having cleaned up the mess that four of them have made, you should be allowed legally to murder the fifth one. It's only sanitary, after all...

I agree; but, even so, we have the imagination and audacity to dream that we can get out there one day - and we will!

We went to the Tower of London for a wee moonlit tour and diner last night. And of course we got to watch the Cermony of the Keys[^]. They lock up the tower and after a quick God Save the Queen, the bugler plays Last Post.
But we were inside the [now locked up] Tower. But that's okay, there's a side door in the main doors that they leave open.

That was just an oversight... Next time they'll be sure to lock the side door, too.
I mean, be realistic... The queen must feed...

Perhaps an emergency / fire exit, meant for easy access?

It's a bally castle! It was built some 900 years ago! WTF do they want a fire exit for?

Fire accidents could occur in those days too, isn't it?

And that was why that either had a bucket of sand or a bucket of water next to the door.

Replace the door with a one-way vertical turnstile?
At my previous work site, the turnstiles were verticle and card-swipe to enter the mill. Swipe to unlock and enter; swipe to unlock and leave.
If you lost your card in the mill... too bad for you!

They use that for sword and spear practice.
Visitors can only get out of the smaller door one at a time, so learners can hack and stab at single targets, rather than get all panicky when lots come at once.
You were lucky you stayed for dessert. The training sessions end before then.

The telly that is.
After near killing myself getting the brute off the wall on my own, I lay it on the floor, whipped the back off and started to look / poke around.
Don't see any swollen capacitors, noticed a sticker with the Test Point (Va and Vs) voltage readings and these two main ones should be 55 and 209 volts. Jagging them with my test meter they are only 15V and 1.1. Disconnecting the cables off to the inverters and the other boards and rechecking, they are still the same.
Poking around the board (without a schematic), I can see the 240vac coming in, find it dropping down to 130vac. can find the 5V off to the other boards. I'm guessing then it is the psu card that is pooped, I tried adjusting the posts that trim the Va and Vs levels, but this made next to no difference.
Ordered a new one at £79, so hopefully that will be it. I am away to remove this board to see if there is any signs of damage underneath to try and work out if it can be repaired easily by a component swap, if I see anything obvious.
I have had no lack locating a schematic or service manual, so my google-fu must be off today.
It is a PS63C7000yk, and the PSU board is a BN44-00334A J30 REV1.1 if anyone wants something to do............

So what is it now.

"No luck" -> bad google foo

Is it worth it? With the price of a new LED backlit screen and the electricity savings that can be made it will most probably pay for itself in a few years.
For £79 you probably could have bought a whole new TV anyway.
