37LG3000 tuning/audio switch on default status?

[jkam]

Hi,
I have been given a 37LG3000 with lit impact damage screen & before breaking I tested it but can detect no sound or static. I had connected an aerial and switched inputs and channels.
Do I assume the audio is faulty and if not, how can I verify it isn't?
Thanks.

You can't very well, you need to be able to see the picture to tune it in.

Hi Nigel,

Is it not probable that it was tuned in when damaged and should recall the settings and default to a transmission?
At full volume should I not hear static?
Thanks

Hi Nigel,

Only if it's tuned to the same station as you get.

Is that the case?.

At full volume should I not hear static?

No, TV's have muted the sound when not tuned in for decades now.

In any case there's no 'static' on digital transmissions, but you don't have your location filled in.

What are you trying to do anyway?.
