I just cover the surrounding area with tin foil. The chip is isolated. put a nickel or quarter on top of the chip for bit of weight and a very small piece of solder on the tin foil next to the chip. Turn on a hair dryer on low or a heat gun on low and heat up until the solder on the foil melts, then heat for 15 sec more. Works every time.

Thanks for the video and tips. Revived my family's dead led tv, Sony KD-55XD7004. Saved me ordering another main board, just used a hot air gun, circling underneath the chip area for about 10min until i could feel the heat through to the chip's 'white' heat spreader. Reminded me of working with bga components some 8+ years back. You know your stuff well. Thanks from Finland 🇫🇮

We actually got this TV from our local waste site. The TV looked like it was clean, it was missing a remote control though. We turned it on and it worked great as a rarely used bedroom TV. I got a remote off Amazon. Then our 65" Samsung back light bar (just one, we think) has gone out. So we brought the LG out. It was solid for 2 days. Then it had all the problems you described. So glad we found you!!! We're going to try this to see if it works. I hope you have a video showing how to replace the backlight bar on my Samsung.

Excellent video my good sir, I picked up a LG model - 55LS4600-UA at the recyclers today, I opened it up and looked at the capacitors on the power board none were bulged. The issue I was having was the RED Stand By Light would light up. But if you tried turning the TV on, nothing would happen. I used a Wagner Heat Gun for about a minute on the IC101 and IC1201, then after letting it cool, POW! the TV fired up! I'm glad I got it for free though, since i didn't notice the small crack in the screen till i got it to light up. Wish i could fix the screen now, but i guess it would cost too much.

I have a very similar TV, with exactly the same power board. While it was playing it suddenly gave a loud bang and was dead. Other problem than described in this video. Measuring, the first fuse behind the power cord was dead (EL7-EL8, of type 5A 250V). Replaced it, powered it and after a few seconds another bang but this time the first fuse (which I replaced) was still OK so must be another component blown. Any suggestions? Do I dig deeper or do I just replace the whole power board? EDIT: I hadn't fixed the power board properly, learned from this video that they provide ground connection. When properly screwing it back on it powered up just fine. Me happy. My first repair of this kind and found it pretty much myself except for that part with the screws for which this video helped me.

I usually put the whole board on alfoil in the oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius for six and a half minutes then leave oven door open and turned off so bga slowly cools down then take it out after one hour .This slightly melts the dry solder in the ball grid array ,can cover some capacitors with bits of foil so they don't get to 200 degrees but I don't I just take my chances that caps are rated at 205 lol .Mind you I'd never do this for customers or charge people for what's maybe a temporary repair , just for my family and friends free of charge :) I have tried other methods like hot air gun etc but oven provides a more accurate way to melt dry/bad solder .I do this method as it works but there is always risk of damaging the board and or components so please do so at your own risk ... :)

200' is not hot enough to reflow solder, all that does is expand the board slightly, and temporarily fixes the problem. The light bulb fix is the most reliable one I have tried, and I generally only do it on my own equipment.

I now use a heat gun, as it is faster. I have had mixed result doing BGA repairs and a few I have had to repeat a few times to get it working. SO don't take the time shown cooking here as a guideline, because times are usually edited down. When I did a few of these it took 10 or more minutes to get the chip hot enough to get a good bond. Saying that, all the devices I have fixed so far are still working, as most are mine.

Our LG 42LC46 (2007, owned from new) the last few months started displaying symptoms which pointed towards a main board issue (after running a while, screen was flickering between picture/static on all inputs & on one occasion picture completely went with backlight and sound both still working, controls locked up. However, on inspection it seems (fingers crossed) to have merely been tarnished connections on the cable between sig. and Tcon boards. Time will tell, but heating/cooling/tapping the boards couldn't reproduce the symptoms but touching the connector on the main board did, cleaned connectors and seems better now.

Absolutely well done video 12voltvids ! I have the exact same set.My problem is TV will turn on for split second then nothing, red led stays on hit power button again LG logo for split second then die, red led goes off too. Will try halogen heat lamp with spacers and see what happens.

Might be LED's or their power supply

Helpful video, thanks, but why not show voltages before and after. Anyone know what the voltage readings are on LED plug, the board says 157VDC for 42", but I am seeing 230VDC on LED+ pin, and this is same with plug connected or not. All other voltages were within range, 3.3, 12, 24 so I replaced board, and must have been bad, for I lost 12, 24VDC, but the LED+ was 115VDC, so got me wondering which is normal for LED power? Any ideas?

It would have helped if you showed voltages after heating control board chips to see if they changed. I believe the 3.3 VDC is OK as that is what my voltages were if that helps others.

You likely have an LED that has failed, and thus there is no load to drop the voltage. Like xmas lights, the LEDs are in series so if one goes bad they all go out. Backlight failure is pretty common these days. Most unreliable parts in an LCD TV and most are user caused.NEVER run your TV with the backlights set to max.Always turn them down from the factory setting. I would not run over 75% maximum.Same with plasma sets. They have a cell light setting, and from the factory they are cranked to 10. I generally do not run them beyond 6 or 7.That saved electricity, and produces less heat due to lower current demands, and that will prolong the life of the set.

Thanks, if I saw a difference in 230VDC with led plugged in, verses not plugged in, I would agree, but it remains the same which is higher than board says which is 157VDC. I don't remember seeing my issue with dim pulsating screen being an LED short, but I guess anything is possible. I put main board under halogen light as you did just in case, but no difference, so guess I will have to buy another power supply board which is less than LED strips. Will post results hopefully to help others. Thanks, I appreciate fast response.

Quick question - how many Volts should I be measuring at the LED backlight? I could swear at 11:20 you said 48VDC. I've got 93 VDC constant but all my standby Voltages are correct. I don't have the exact power supply but the main board on my 55LN5400 is the same and all of the PSU connectors are the same.
@12voltvids4 жыл бұрын
That depends on how they are connected. 2 48 volt strips in series is 96 volts and 3 of them in series is 288.

I have a BK hot air station. Just curious at What temperature do think would be best and for how long if I wanted to heat up and reflow a bga component? The issue with my TV I think is different, I tested the led+ connectors and I'm getting 74 volts with leds connected to power supply board and only 70 volts when I disconnect the leds from the power supply board. Does this sound like a faulty power supply to you? TV symptoms: backlights keep turning off. If I turn the TV off and back on again the TV works for about an hour then the backlight goes out again. Audio works fine and tcon board looks good (have image with flashlight).

I hava a pioneer sound system. its main chip was showing the same problem. The unit was turning on but getting off after a while. I zeroed the problem to the main board chip. But as usual, I got faulty chips fro ebay twice. lastly the unit went to scrap.

Think the firmware storage chip is the problem on my Samsung TV but I honestly didn't think at all about reflowing like I once tried on my PS3 motherboard. Gonna give it a try anyways, thanks for the idea.

Cool, saved my tv after watching this...i was about to throw my LG 3D TV 47LW5700 away.. my LG was not turning on and power light was blinking,, because its on the wall and heavy. I didn't feel like taking it down and opening it.. after hours of shopping online for a new TV i was pissed and installed an old 22 lcd tv in front of the LG until i can find a good deal..it was a good excuse to buy a new oled tv or something.. i was just pissed to spend 1.5k ..i wasn't prepared.. i couldn't sleep.. anyway. After 8 hours or so I saw this youtube and i had to try this out first before giving up .. i had to open the back panel and every tv is different. The 47LW5700 has all the screws around the perimeter and about 5 screws around the center. Once exposed, i checked the voltage and was reading 3.5v too. So i just went ahead and use a heat gun and an infra red temperature reader.. the two chips were covered by a heat sink.. i did not know how to remove them so i just heated directly over the heat sink layer. About 20-30 sec of heat to reach 200F The heat probably transferred over the chip.. then i allowed cool down,,at first it did not work, then it just started to work again. I was dam happy...woke up the wife (she did not appreciate that) but needed her help to hang the TV on the wall. Started to watch TV for about 20 minute..and bang! TV shutdown by it self and turn it self back on.. was kinda disapointed.. but atleast it works...unhooked the tv from the wall again.. reopened the case and re heated, but this time i heated atleast 10 good minutes at 300F.. reclosed and put it back on the wall.. this time it worked better. No shutdown..2 hours later still no shutdown..3 hours later still going strong,, it looks like the reflow is working this time. However i noticed while closing the rear panel that LG made holes to evacuate the heat through those holes that are right over the two main chips.. so next time i may just heat directly there without opening the panel. But i understand this is not a permanent fix.. but atleast it will give me some time i hope to find the best TV deal...we are only few weeks from blackfriday..

Hi I did the same with a friends PS3, i use liquid flux and used a heat gun to heat the chips up and it worked. dont give a shit if it's not a full time fix it was a favour and it still works today over 12 months, at the end of the day it's working and not in the skip. Thanks again for a fantastic vid dude. Simon

I had that same TV. I replaced the t-con board and only half of the panel was displaying picture. Sadly I could never figure out the problem.

I have seen several LCD sets that I washed my hands on. Of course you don't see those videos. Half a picture is generally the tabs that connect the TCON to the panel.

Filter caps looks a bit bulgy might wanna replace them. How how hot does it need to be? My standby was 3.3 too, so must be common.
