Hi Guys anyone know who makes the lifting motor for the TV in saloon?
Mine has stopped working and not sure if its a fuse or something major?
If I can locate the manufacture I can try and sort it out.

If you remove the panel from underneath the TV, you will find the motor and relay. Check that nothing has knocked the switch in the lower cupboard directly as you enter the saloon.

Hi Andrew we have a speaker there but might be able to pull it out, did check that 1st cupboard but it just has a speaker.
I will try the other cupboard where the glasses are store maybe?

I am not explaining it very well - where the air con control in the saloon - the panel below that lifts off and in there are 4 fuses/switches - one is for the lift

Maker is Linak.co.uk

Thanks Guys I will contact them direct, I have checked the switches and are all ok.
There must be a fuse I assuming somewhere and must be able to access from front or side just can't find it.
Its more complicated as there is a speaker underneath and its the B&O TV which is very heavy?

Don't know if this helps - I'm not sure who Princess use.
But in the early days of our current boat, we had a bad shore supply given to us in Tunisia - some people on here were with us when it happened.
The bad supply caused several bits of equipment to fail.
The TV lift was one of them.
It turned out to be the control box that feeds the lift motor.
Rather than buy a new box, I set to to repair it.
It is, essentially, a digital switch box (PLC) with a PIC chip at it's centre.
This means that they can change the function of the controller by changing the controller's software - thus using the same controller for different applications etc.
After a little research, the problem turned out to be the within the controller's "on board" power supply.
And YES - it was a fuse - but not a fuse that you will have ever seen before.
It looks like a red transistor.
Here is an example.

So, if you have a separate control box, take it apart and look for a device like this.
Then check that it isn't open circuit.
If it is, remove it find a replacement and solder back into the board.

Incidentally, this has happened twice to me - it blew the fuse again a couple of years later.
I now power the TV lift from the inverter - no more problems and keep a few spare fuses available.

Your failure sounds like the same symptom.

Hope that helps.
