Amigamagic: Sorry to hear that  But as Chronos said, the black screen might be caused by various chips. Just because the screen stays black, it's not necessarily the TED that's defunct. Judging from my experience, it's the CPU most of the time.
I'd suggest to find someone with a working machine near you. Then try your CPU, PLA and TED (one by one) in that machine. Thus, you'll know exactly which chip is faulty (or if it's something else on your board that's causing the trouble).
Where are you from?
It's definitely easier (and sometimes even cheaper) to buy a complete (and tested!) C16 instead of buying the chips individually. Beware of untested machines, though, unless you have replacement parts at hand.
