You're a man, you're not supposed to need instructions.

Girlfriend ordered a 250 litre fish tank, comes with a stand too. Instructions were in Chinese, there was 2 pictures, one showing an exploded view of the stand (which came flat pack, obviously) and the other was of the filter set up, which was ridiculously complicated. Got it all set up now but it took fucking ages!

Is the gf called Wanda?

Trapped babysitting at sister-in-laws and for the life of me, I cannot work out how to get her telly on. You'd think it couldn't be much more complicated than press the standby button.

Make/model?

1. Make sure its plugged in and the plug is switched on. Just in case she is one of these wierdos that think TVs use massive amounts of power in standby to keep the valves warm.
2. Either hold down the power button on remote. Or hold down a channel number. Or press TV then the do power/number if its a sky remote.
3. If you still can't do it, check you haven't grown boobs.

Technika. No idea on model. Instructions were "turn it on at the side (standby button), there's the remote". Thing is, nothing happens when you press the standby button (or any other button for that matter, or if you hold it down). A blue light is meant to come on.

I've followed your advice. I don't appear to have grown boobs, just cultivating a nifty pair of moobs.

Make sure there isn't a physical on/off switch on the underside of the tv, right hand side

There's usually a flick switch on the right hand side of the bezel (towards the bottom). Should get a red standby light then try the power button on the remote or a number on the remote to turn on
