I remember my dad teaching me to fix TV's in the mid 1970's when you could pull a vacuum tube and take it down to Radio Shack/Tandy and test it for free on their tester. And they carried the tubes in house. Usually Sylvania (rebranded RCA) in a Radio Shack box. Simplicity.

[@RaneBos]

So Tampa tec Dude, basically after getting laid off my job I created my own employment by grabbing tv monitors and computers from the local recycle bin, fixing them and reselling. Recently I found an LG 55UF6450 4k smart tv and it powered up but had a blank screen. Following your recommendations I checked the capacitors on the power board and they were all good so I took advice from another dude on you tube and tried baking the mother board in the oven for 10 minutes at 385 F. well it worked and now we have an awesome tv cost us nothing. It always amazes me as to what people throw away. Im not an electronicas guy but with your help I would say that I am becoming one. Thanks so much for your guidance and easy to follow instructions in your videos. Keep up the great work. Kudos to you Dude!!!!!!

[@chriscat8700]

Just a useful tip I've learned over the years: for those who may not have much experience with small parts or electronics soldering.. use a small tip on the iron and make sure it's plenty hot. It should melt the solder immediately. I always leave a tiny drop on the tip before going to the board. Get the suction bellows right down there and release the plunger as soon as the joint goes shiny. DO NOT LINGER ON THE CIRCUIT CARD OR COMPONENT!!! You can quickly burn traces and neighboring components. You may want to practice the technique a few times on some junk cards if available. Just some thoughts. Take em or leave em.

I had similar problem with my LG TV; a capacitor had blown on the power supply board. It would have cost around £35 for a replacement board and another £80 if I had an engineer to replace it for me.

Solder made from 63% Tin, 37% lead is the best because the temperature between liquid and solid is just a point at 361 degrees. This helps prevent "cold" solder joints.

[@rayjones3212]

I agree with your repair method. I've repaired many LCD monitors using this very same method and I always try to get a high voltage cap to replace the defective ones. You might point out to your viewers that sometimes those caps (capacitors) will blow out the bottom (where it connects to the circuit board) and will not appear to be blown or domed. I've seen this issue on many power supplies. I've subscribed and will be following your work.

[@ronsolomon1405]

Great video. Informative, to the point and no BS. A lot of people could learn from your style.

[@batrastardly4574]

Great video, good job. I do have something to add that may be helpful. When sourcing new capacitors it is always a good idea to increase the voltage handling capacity but be sure the dimensions are the same or close enough. Even more important, especially if the faulty caps are swollen, is the temperature rating. It is likely the caps that failed are rated for 85C and for a little more money you can get 105C or above rated caps. These will last much longer and with the money you're saving why not make your repair last? Also, electrolytic caps dry out over time and are a big failure item. It's a good idea while you are in there to replace all the large caps if you can afford it. (the small caps are usually safe to leave in as they are mostly signal handling or dc blocking components and see much less stress) Keep up the good work! Bat

I had found a 47LD450 by the side of the street that had been thrown out. It only showed the red light, no picture and I couldn't get sound either. I followed your advice about checking the voltage on the pins from the power board to the main board, and it showed 3.35v on pins that should have been 3.5v and 0v on the rest (some were supposed to be as high as 20v). I ordered a power board and I will update this post when I install it. Thanks for posting this video.

Another 46" Samsung I bought at a Garage Sale for $5.00 and all that was wrong was a loose ribbon cable. Then I was given a 52" Samsung with horizontal lines that come and go. Sometimes I would take an HDMI out and back in and other times there were no lines or the lines just went away after five minutes. The total cost for 3 remotes, 3 TVs, and capacitors is about $25.00.

[@duubtuub3071]

@Tampa Tec Thanks very much for the help! I'll probably attempt this, now that I cannot find a new power supply replacement board anywhere, and even used boards are rare. It did look like some of your capacitors had "non-flat" tops (the Xs are carved in the top in order to give way when the insides boil and give a visible sign of cap failure). Reminder: Voltage is an "across" variable. Current is a "through" variable. Voltage appears "across" two points. Current "flows" from one point to another. Voltage can appear across a pair of points without any current flowing. Current can be flowing between a pair of points with no voltage across them.

[@JasonMasters]

At 2:30, the first thing I spotted was the bulging tops of the electrolytic capacitors. Capacitoris Bulgitis is a firm indicator for a transplant operation. :) I had 2 x "Bauhn" brand (from Aldi) TVs which both failed in exactly the same way as the TV you're repairing (red LED and clicking when you try to turn it on) and when I opened up each, I immediately spotted the bulging caps so I replaced them and now I have 2 working TVs. :) There's been a rash of electrolytic capacitor failures recently (over the past 10 years or so) and now they're always my first suspect.

I just fixed my LG tv that had sound, but no image... just as you said, I opened it up, and had to change 3 capacitors, 6$ total... that was it. Problem fixed! TV works! Incredible. The hardest part was identifying the three capacitors that had gone bad. Two were easy... they were bulged on top. The third was was very difficult to see... one was slightly blown on top. They were the 35 volts, 680 uf; the 10 volts 3300 uf and the 10 volts 2200 uf, 105 degrees.... in any case, they were on the power circuit board. My dad was an electrotechnician and I had time to learn from him... Your videos were an inspiration to go ahead and try to fix that tv... a 500$ saving. Thanks so much and keep up the good work!!

My samsung stopped after 2 years and it was the capacitor! gave it to my dad to repair made it for like £1.

[@gmckenzie175]

One video I watched said sometimes cheap knock offs are installed that aren't rated what the capacitor states. Therefore it pops. His video was exact same replacement. Fyi. Peace

You need a vacuum solder sucker tool. Cheap and makes removing parts easier.

[@shifty2755]

Hes using one.

[@shifty2755]

@David Hanson Are they not the same thing?

[@JustAnotherHappyGuy]

Great vid Tampatec, I'm very much like you, fix tv's when they can be fixed easily. Now, newer tv's all have cracked LCD/ LED problems (for the most part) which is a costly repair and not worth fixing anymore. I'm curious if there's a way to salvage the working half or portion of those screens and port a rasbery pi or arduino to throw something up to at least make some use of them..

[@thelostboyz2072]

Man you're good, something is telling me if I continue watching your videos I will learn a lot, thanks.

[@chrissometimes7473]

A myth about leaded solder - there are NO lead fumes coming off it. The fumes are the flux. These fumes aren't good for you either, but lead has a boiling point of 1749 °C - your soldering iron will probably be at less than 350°C so there will be no lead fumes. The lead WILL come off on your hands so hand washing IS important. To avoid the flux fumes, you can use a small fan (e.g. a spare 2 - 3" fan you recovered from something with a wall wart PSU). Don't use a large fan as that will cool your soldering iron tip off. In industry we commonly use vacuum fume extractors (expensive), but we are dealing with OSHA and people who may be doing hand soldering all day (e.g. rework operators).

I repaired my tv with a hammer.

[@QueenKiera]

Lol.

[@tamaraclayton5314]

Me too.

[@michelleortega5611]

e.i mccool Lol that's hilarious made me literally laugh out loud 😜

[@JeonJungkook-fq3cg]

Same here👋😂

[@jiwbink]

.22cal. works well too!!

[@konglee7492]

I have a Vizio plasma no picture but audio work good do you have any ideas

[@TampaTec]

most cases it's sustain boards and / or buffer boards, Plasma TVs break often, they get really hot so try USB fan

[@konglee7492]

Ok thank you my friend

[@scottfirman]

Tampatec I have had the same plazma tv for 5 years. I got a great deal on it because they were going led on all of them. I was told this one was the longest lasting best Plazma tv out there. I guess the guy was right. Its an LG. The salesman said it was a shame they were getting away from plazma because mine was the way they should have all been made.Once its done,its done. I will be hunting for an Led style that needs repair as a back up. I am really handy at electronics and testing so It would be fun fixing a dead one.

[@nightlore000]

Could also be a dry joint caused by heat.

[@bobshortforkate2364]

Definately sounds like its broken.

[@clairgardner5146]

I didn’t know anyone still fixed TVs ! Thank you !

[@deankay4434]

I will look at posted videos but a kitchen 13" Samsung just went black while watching. Sound, changing channel works and tried the soft & hard reset. I am an ASE Master tech since the 70's and fix my own stuff. Their are several of every kind out their that don't know how electrical works. At the dealer, I got all the vehicles with electrical issues. Electrolytic caps and many others are chosen at the minimum values and expected to work, until out of warranty. SMD's have helped a bunch in reliably as they chose tolerance 2% of rating is best but 10% +/- of a resistors value changes reliably and lowers the life of a TV or anything else. Sad! Thanks for this video but free don't pay your bills! Folks, take photo, print as needed and mark locations. Next, get zip bags to place these into with a note inside and masking tape on top, mark what these are. Makes life a whole lot easier after 3 weeks go by and parts come in. Having a good digital multimeter (DMM) like Fluke is best. Have a lucky one!

[@kevingodding9316]

you are very good at this, but if i tried to do this i would end up blowing the house up

[@pedrmelendez2299]

Kevin Godding.

[@pedrmelendez2299]

i need the capasitor kit

[@fruitfarmer1]

I was told by a Samsung Engineer after telling him that I trouble shoot byYou Tube videos and that you can fix a TV by looking at Tampatec on You TubeTV.

[@donnyj9250]

I have a sony bravia 32" lcd. It stopped responding. No buttons work, the remote doesn't work but when its plugged in it comes on. Its stuck on one channel. Any ideas?

[@gimble8638]

a rough guess is that its the tuner control and software control pcb, the part can differ depending on what world region you are in, unless your a tech its not something you can fix (ive 30yrs experience and just swap them out because my labour would cost the customer far more,) but they arnt cheap so unless the tv is quite new (which at 32inch it prob isnt), id say its BER (beyond economic repair) sorry bud :(

[@thefarmlifeinhd]

You just fixed a tv people throw away in working condition. Nice.

[@brianabraham2973]

It was really worth watching your video, very helpful, but my TV no display at all, it’s a Samsung LED 32, let me know what has to be done & cost wise. Thank you.
