A small led tv developed perfectly round circles on the screen ranging from about 1 inch to 3 inches on the inside of the glass, not on the exposed surface. I took off the glass tried cleaning it but they are still there. I'm dumbfounded as to how they got there and how to remove them. Other than that, it works perfectly.

Some, all or equivalent substitute tools could be bought for super cheap. So there's still a large turnaround. Think. 25. Maybe 50 bucks. To repair a TV that costs probably 3000. 🧠 Even the 100 for a replacement board is a fraction.

@suseanneegoulet1033 Год назад

I call it a design flaw. But nobody wants fan noise on a TV so this type of issue will continue to occur. I don't see any way of having that type of processing capacity to support 4k and not having a heat issue with only passive cooling

@vgamesx1 Год назад

I call it planned obsolesce, if you want passive cooling then all you need is more surface area, thus a larger heat sink, but they want to make it as thin and light as possible, they're probably saving a buck where a little metal would make it last 5+ years longer, plus it's not as if silent or near silent fans don't exist, we use them all the time on laptops, a laptop fan just running at idle would make more than enough of a breeze to make it last longer.

@Conservator. Год назад

They could have installed a better heatsink, one with ribbons.

@RK-kn1ud Год назад

I have a computer sitting next to me that has 4 fans running inside of it and I can't hear it. Maybe if I put my ear real close, but right now my ear is about 30 inches away and the room is dead silent. It's definitely possible to actively cool a TV so you can't hear it, but most people won't maintain it anyway.

@FrugalRepair Год назад

Another thing the designers could have added was more vent holes in the plastic housing. Something that happens is that since these tv's just sit there the vent holes at the top get covered in dust and restrict airflow even more.

Thank u any help e awesome as wife's medical bills for breast cancer are beating us up. Gary

@FrugalRepair Год назад

Sorry to hear about your wife’s struggles! The first thing I think of for blue tint is the LED coating (to make the light more white in color) has failed and the backlight gives off a blue light. If so, you can either try changing the settings or replace the LED backlight.

What is the cause of static noise from tv? I got a 65in Panasonic plasma. It makes a buzzing electric noise. I tried disconnecting the hdmi cable to see if its outside interference but the hiss is still there.

@FrugalRepair Год назад

That could be anything, really. If the noise is coming from the speakers, it’s likely a problem on the main board. But if not, sometimes you can get close enough with your ear to hear which board has the buzzing part on it.

@Lardzor Год назад

I think the coefficient of thermal expansion is different between the chip that gets hot, and the board it's soldered to. This slight difference in thermal expansion causes a stress fracture over time in the relatively weaker solder that bonds the two components together.

@TM-op7zb Год назад

In the repair world it would be considered a bandaid. Reflowing got a bad rap because people would do the same on GPUs for computers and call it fixed. But the problem with GPUs were mostly bad chips. There isn't any real way of knowing if the chip itself is bad or if it's potentially cracked joints underneath from warping. So the safest options is usually just replace the chip or the entire board.

@FrugalRepair Год назад

2011 MacBook GPU is an infamous one. You could technically know if it’s the solder balls versus a bond wire in the chip if you have access to an X-ray inspection machine. =)

@@red2965 I would say cash flow is usually not going to be an issue for most of these "throwaway" electronics.

Hi FrugalRepair. My LG 48in Oled fell over while reorganizing my room about 2 feet on the screen, and it made a crack less than 2 inches on the top right corner with a small indentation. Red light is on and blinks when i try to turn it on but no picture. So, is my $1200 tv completely toast now? I've been so upset over this and still making payments on it. If there are any suggestions at all or ways to fix it, or repaired rather than replacing the whole tv it would make my day. Thanks for the vids, I enjoy them.

@mikemalo6336 11 месяцев назад

T-CON stands for 'Tiny Control'? lol I pull these TVs from curbs all the time, I am blown away how casually people toss them. Usually the worst problem I have with the TVs is no remote. And even if there is a cracked screen, plug it in anyway, there's usually what looks like abstract art on the screen. I have used those as uniquely creative table tops lots of times and they last for a couple years, even if you purposely keep cracking the screen. At times, I have had 50+ inch TVs in every single room of the house, including the bathroom and hallway, just because I could (until the next months electrical bill brought that to a screeching halt.).

@dwaynecollins4974 Год назад

I've repaired TVs by switching out diodes that were obviously bad swollen and I've rewet solder connections on boards, but I have a question about my newest curb TV that said " works but no remote" Well, that wasn't true, at least the part about "works" anyway. So I wiped it off and plugged it in, looking for the standby ready light which did light up. Next I tried to find the control buttons on the outside of it which to my amazement, there were none except for a large power button underneath the standby light. So I pushed it and for a split second the screen had a flash of light go across it and that was it, after that the standby light started blinking. I'm sure this all means something, but I don't know what. Can I get some ideas from you? I look at it as a challenge to fix if it's fixable 🤔

@FrugalRepair Год назад

Great to hear you are fixing things! For that TV it could be a bunch of things. My first thought is the led backlight shorting out. I'd check for the main voltage rails, and then start disconnecting cables to diagnose where the problem is. For example, you can disconnect the backlight and see if you still get the blinking indicator light.

Your LED backlight is the problem. You can replace all of the LED strips or try to fix the individual bad LEDs.

I have just come here to say thank you for your great videos❤, I fixed my tv at home, for which technician was charging huge sum. I never thought before I could fix it, but I did it. Thanks a ton ❤ love from India ❤

Great to hear!

What would you suggest if you had a new 58 inch Hisense tv never used in storage and you finally got it out of storage after a year and it won’t turn on No led lights or anything working ?

@FrugalRepair Год назад

I’d go through the usual diagnostic steps. I have some steps in my free ebook that you can try.

You only need a screw driver! Then takes the thermal camera out

surprise that they didnt crack the screen

@FrugalRepair Год назад

Yeah, it's always a good idea if you are picking up a broken tv to check the screen because it could be cracked ( even if they are unaware that it is)

Not free and not just 1 tool everyone says that and it's never true.

@Mat_Sedano 11 месяцев назад

It's almost comical how you start the video saying "with only one tool" and then proceed to use an electrical screwdriver, a multimeter, a heat cam, a hair dryer, a specialized set of tweezers, something called "flux", a hot air station (If you made a video about how a "20 dollar hack" works the same, why not using it on a "only one tool" video?) not cool

@FrugalRepair 11 месяцев назад

Maybe you missed the part where I explained it but you can fix a tv like this with a screwdriver, buy a replacement board on eBay, take off outer plastic cover (screws), then take out the main board, there are about 6 screws holding the board on.

@Mat_Sedano 11 месяцев назад

Of course, but you don't make a video on "How to fix something with one tool" then proceed to fix it with several expensive tools. That's deceptive, I challenge you to ACTUALLY fix a tv using NOTHING more than a screwdriver, literally nothing, a screwdriver, and maybe your phone (no paid apps though 😅)@@FrugalRepair

@theroyalaustralian Год назад

This is a nice idea, but it'll cost me about 3-$400 to fix as I have no tools other then a ratcheting Screw Driver and an Ifixit Pro Tech Toolkit.

You can put it in the oven.Just cover the surrounding areas with tin foil.

@FrugalRepair 3 месяца назад

You run the risk of melting the plastic parts though

This guy started by saying the thing I need fixed can't be fixed, love that

@gypsyjane6352 Год назад

This is exactly what is happening to me!But the screen has a tiny crack, will light up but won’t turn on. It’s a $1k tv and I’d like to try to save it!

@FrugalRepair Год назад

The crack may be the problem. Did you watch the tape trick videos? Maybe you can see if the uncracked half will display an image.

@yohanperera21 Год назад

Hello brother, I have a Sony KD75XG8096 tv and it’s working properly but in the middle of the display has one thick vertical black line. How do I fix it? Do you have any videos regarding this? Thanks

@jessekauffman3336 Год назад

Always thought it was cheaper to buy a new one then fix

@ketanmorajker Год назад

@jmshssk2 5 месяцев назад

I've always been that guy who will attempt to fix it before discarding and paying for new. From cars to windows, cell phones, vcr's and of course tvs. Thank you for your service to educate. These types of videos save money and produce less volume in a landfill.
