The worst thing is that people who throw away LCD TVs usually crack the screen when they dump them. Because they don't care. I found once 50" LED TV at the dumpster, and it had bad solder joint at power supply connector, when I fixed it, I saw the crack, and the crack probably came afterwards and the real reason for being in trash was just bad solder joint.

Could be that it fell of it's mount, tearing out the power cable causing the burn mark and landed on some furniture breaking the screen.

I work in IT support for schools, and during an equipment refresh project, I was requested to keep a handful of 65" screens to one side in a storage area for possible later re-use. So I tested that they all worked, then stacked them carefully against the wall in the server room, making sure that nothing was touching the panels. Some time later I went back to the same site, to find that someone had re-arranged them - so that the wall-mount brackets on the back of one unit were digging right into the LCD of the next one. They were all ruined. Some people just have absolutely no idea.

I suspect this "fell off the wall" We know it was powered when it fell, because the mains cable has been yanked, broke the connector off the pcb, and the L or N arc'd across as it was eventually pulled out which left the sooty smudge you saw first

Either that or if it was on a movable stand someone tripped on the power cable, ripped it out and it tipped over and broke. That happened to a much smaller TV of ours at a trade show - someone had failed to protect the cable.

TCON is short for Timing Controller board. These boards re-time the signal from a standard source timing to the specific timing required by the panel. By timing we're talking about front porch, back porch, and vertical blanking timings. Standard timings have standard values, while the panel itself will have different values (but overall the timing is the same) so a TCON is mostly just delay lines and buffers and maybe a PLL if the total pixels per line or lines per frame is different. As the panel needs to run at the same rate as the incoming signal it's a fairlly lightweight process. (After all if it's 60Hz panel, it needs a 60Hz input signal, but the timing details can vary within those limits).

Quick tip for checking lcd screens. Use a bright light pressed up to the screen. It will help you see defects like cracks and bruises. In a pinch, you can use your cellphone led. The bright the light, the better. So a cheap $1.00 torch may not be best.

Some of those CRTs were top quality, so I got the boards and put them on the 'bay for a decent price plus shipping. The whole arcade cabinets were a challenge to lug in my Brumby but I made it work, eventually sold them as-is to a collector, but well, I've kept the cool vector monitor games ;)

I'm in the U.S. and in this area we have bulk trash pickup twice a year where the city will haul away almost anything you put on the curb for free. I don't know much about fixing TVs, but I've brought home a bunch and gotten several working ones. The biggest one is a 60" Vizio with half the backlights burned out. I kept it with the intention of putting new backlights in (there's a video tutorial), but a set costs $80 and I haven't been able to justify the cost, especially considering that if I accidentally crack the LCD panel, I'll have wasted my money. Also, the backlights bruning out is apparently a common problem with that model as it supposedly sends a power surge when first turned on, which shortens their life. Next is a 50" Samsung, 4K TV, which seemed to work perfectly, but started glitching around the three hour mark. I haven't had the ambition to do much with it. I keep meaning to run it with the back off and a fan blowing on it to see if it's a heat problem. I have a 47" LG that works, but it has some moisture in the screen. I'm torn between trying to take it apart and see if I can wipe down the layers, or just letting it sit and see if it dries out on its own. I also have a 43" Vizio that works, but also has moisture in the screen. I have a 40" Toshiba that works great, but has one stuck green pixel on the screen. I have three 40" Samsung TVs that all seem to work perfectly. I have a 32" LG TV that had moisture in the screen when I got it, but which dried out and now just has a couple spots that are SLIGHTLY darker than the normal screen, but aren't that noticeable. I also have some smaller TVs in the range of 20" down to about 17". I recently gave away a 46" Seiki TV. It didn't have anything 'wrong' with it, but I didn't like the fact there was no way to turn off overscan. If the TV has a resolution of 1920x1080 and I set my computer to 1920x1080, I expect a pixel-perfect image, not one that's been enlarged and has the edges cut off. Many years ago, my friend and I found two identical TVs, about 60" or so. At the time I didn't want them, so he gave them to his brother. One had a bad power supply and the other had a cracked screen. He combined the parts and made one good TV out of them.

RSVP that TV. I do wonder which came first, the broken connector or the cracked screen. Judging by the skid mark on the connector, I'd say that was the reason for them getting rid of it, then they cracked the screen when they dumped it or moving it. Sadly, I can't be impressed with these "big" LCD TVs. We used to have a pair of 150" units in our old studio, which were pretty much the largest LCD panels ever made (they were prototypes, never manufactured or sold commercially). No idea what happened to them after we moved to our new studio, probably shipped back to Sony. Now we've got those huge video walls that are made up of the modular LED panels. The big one is about 15m long, so they blow away any TV you can get these days. Really impressive to look at, until you poke your head around back and see how much wiring and power goes into the thing. Makes you wonder how they ever got it working in the first place!

Just a few days ago, I unintentionally did a dumpster dive. I was transporting hundreds of wine glasses from one area of a venue for an upcoming sports event to another area; I just happened to look into one of the recycle bins which was beside a staircase I was standing near. I thougt what I saw was some kind of kitchen machinery. It was just laying there in the bottom of the bin; but on closer inspection it turned out to be a Sony TC152SD tape recorder (from the late seventies), just lying there at the bottom of the bin. I wasted no time in picking it out and taking it to my locker. It's at home now (without power cable); I just have to figure out if it works, and if not, how to get it working. Beautiful looking thing. I salvage a couple of motors from a Standing fan yesterday, the ones where the fan head rotates horizontally so as to cover a wide area; it that had been thrown into a giant skip at work, that and some sort of power switch for connecting I don't know what. Gotta do my research. But it's fascinating how easily things are thrown out over here (I'm in the UK) Anyway; I have to wonder what they got as a replacement.

The answer to that power connector would be to wire in a power cord (I recommend having it unplugged from the wall outlet while wiring it in, lol). Give it some strain relief and should be gtg. I'm sure most of us, if not all, have an extra power cord from either an old pc or monitor.

I wanted to try to fix just _a_ TV recently. Found one on the local market internet thingy, it was 82 inch. Couldn't fit it in the car. Just getting it of the wall already risks a crack, because the TV flexes a lot. There was an issue with the connector to the leds, the leads were sooo thin. Also a little control IC went short on the power board. But lifting the panel up to get access to the leds went wrong, because of the enorm size of it. It cracked. It's just to. hard to handle, you need a frame with suction pads or something. The plastic is now my bench table top. The leds will be my bench lighting.... Insane amount of leds and power in the thing.

Bad luck there. Would have been nice.... Just imagine it as 4K microscope display.... SEE IF THE PCB ASSEMBLIES SELL ON EBAY OR SIMILAR, if still working these could be worth many dollars. Chassis may have scrap metal value too.

You can actually get replacement screens for alot cheaper than its worth to buy the whole tv especially these days since diy repair is so huge you can get the screen for around $200-$250 and sell the tv for about $800 their 86" models from oldest to newest models still sell between $1000 and $5000 refurbished/new. I know this because i fix broken flat screens alot and resell.

The closest I have come to that was a laptop with a broken screen of unknown tech. I think the cracked part was actually glass. I removed the broken glass and visually it worked but the touchscreen functionality was gone. So I'm wondering if the break is just cosmetic and potentially repairable with a big sheet of plastic, or does it usually damage it to the point it can't display an image at all?

Dave, No Cinderella story ending there, oh well perhaps another LG tv that needs all the boards replaced might come around or do you think these boards might willy nilly fit in another brand of TV? its all the same factory line just the badging and sw might be different

Hey Dave random question, have you thought about selling a different multimeter designed for automotive techs? Ive been thinking about buying one of yours just to have a good meter, but having one with functions designed for vehicles would be even better

HELLO DAVE I live in Ipswich and when they have kerbside collections I quite often go and collect TVs from the kerb to dismantle for parts for a friend who sadly has just passed away. If you think that’s heavy try some of the older Plasma TVs they weigh a ton. Interesting but I see a lot of different brands of course the cheaper we’ll known brands are always in large numbers but in the last 2 collections I have yet to see an ALDI TV the BRAUHN brand. That would be in around 150 TVs in 4 yrs. Unfortunately you no longer see CRT TVs.

Pretty sure Northridgefix has had a lot of these in, he says they always die after a year, and it's a port issue (multiple traces break loose). Some are fixed from reflowing the port, but most require fixing all the traces. Maybe this can be an excuse for Dave to get a JBC nano?

4:44 Shouldn't the earth connection be the longest? I follow a few electricians and they said to leave the earth cable the longest, because if the cable is pulled out, live breaks first, touches something, and at least the ground fault protection will trigger. It was a bit different situation, there was a cable clamp to secure the whole thing.

I would not be in such a hurry to scrap the 86" TV myself. It depends on the crack/scratch. If the TV still works but has a deep scratch, I could use it as a monitor or kids room TV or remote or outside view. Lots of low quality display possibilities. If it is just scratched (that is what it looked like to me in your limited view we see, then you might even be able to buff it out. My point is think outside the box.
