Machine was dead sent to Philips and they fixed it for £50
Machine had the blank screen of death and I tried everything and read all the forums etc. Found the Philips repair and exchange site and sent machine to them for free (https://www.philips.co.uk/c-w/support-home/service-and-repair).
They have been in touch today to say its fixed, charged me £50. Thought this was pretty good so thought I would share in case anyone else in the same boat.
