Why Repairing TV’s Can Suck

[@REVERSE_BIAS]

I've done a JVC backlight repair that had the panel glued with double sided tape. First one I'd come across. As I lifted it, not knowing it was stuck in certain places, the panel separated...game over! Luckily the owner was a friend who'd basically said "It was already broke in my eyes anyway"...as the backlight had gone. Annoyed me though, as I could've fixed it had I been expecting the glued sections.

Ahh trust man, it’s getting worse the newer they get. Michael Drainfeild has a good video on the ones with no frame 😭

@@MrReeceyburger123 It's funny that you mention Michael. I've followed him for a while now, and I'm in Lincolnshire so not a million miles from him. I'm definitely going to visit his shop one day as I love learning from the old masters. He said "Just give me a heads up when you're coming!" What a nice guy. Who taught you electronics mate? I'm self taught, which takes a long time. Mainly for fun... however I'm doing electrical/mechanical engineering for work. Wish I'd have done electronics as a qualification when I was younger though.

Oh Reece we’ve all done it, I have done a few curved but just been lucky I guess, i normally just lean the screen against the wall, I had done a 49” Samsung curved arrange for the buyer to collect it, tripped up and broke the screen on a door handle lol, Keep up your good work anyway cheers mate

[@MrReeceyburger123]

Haha that’s it mate, ahh no hope the customer wasn’t an ass after 🙈 I knew after seeing the crushed drivers the panel would be fked, unsure if the green line was there before I took it apart or what. I’ve done a couple, just not anymore as they are too fragile and I cannot be bothered with moaning off of people these days.

@@MrReeceyburger123 no he was fine and I lost a sale lol chit happens I have never seen crushed drivers before very unusual that ..

[@MrReeceyburger123]

Neither have I tbf, thought I’d film it when I seen it. Then the panel cracked cleaning the glue, the green line was present before the crack too so it was fked from the start. Cheap rubbish 😭

@@MrReeceyburger123 I’m seeing so many screens fail now 4k 58” hitachi’s seem to be regular, screen lights up but no picture covering clock lines doesn’t work, there crap nowadays

Dam dread the curved , have you seen the new hisense bezel less glued all the way round i reckon

[@MrReeceyburger123]

Haha they are not fun, so easy to damage. Always tell whoever’s TV it is you will break it 😂

@@MrReeceyburger123 heat gun time I reckon might melt it though

[@MrReeceyburger123]

I’d say a drop of iPa every now and then making sure only the smallest of drops will help a lot. Don’t use heat at all deffo asking for trouble. Unless you can reliably heat the rear cover

Hi mate just a quick question, I have a b&w zeppelin first gen when I have an aux cable plugged in I can hear like quiet motor boating replaced blown caps on psu it now plays fine but you hear the noise when the music has stopped, it’s like it until I unplug the cable tried 2 cables and 2 different sources still the same thanks bud.
