TV repair components

[jonny78]

hi guys just after some help really!

ive been attempting to fix tvs for a good few months now and really enjoy it but what annoys me the most is not having the correct component at hand! now i know different tv PSU'S will have many different parts and its impossible to have every part in hand but what are some of the most common parts to have? recently ordered about 500 electrolytic capacitors from china at a dirt cheap price ranging from 220uf to 3300uf but i want to order fuses resistors ceramic caps etc could someone possibly create a list of things worth ordering?

cheers!

"ordered about 500 electrolytic capacitors from china at a dirt cheap price ranging from 220uf to 3300uf" What kind of dirt cheap caps did you buy?

LOL meant cheap compared to UK prices! From a reputable dealer and I've never had a problem with them! Repaired many blown caps with them!

Re: TV repair components

Things I keep in stock suitable for TV repair.
Fuses or all values and types.
Bridge rectifiers/diodes.
Panasonic FR FM FC and other assorted capacitors.
SMD resistors/capacitors 0402, 0603, 0805 and 1206.
PWM controllers and mosfets and ICs such as HDMI, gamma and plasma buffers.

Just order more than you need at a time and expand the values.

Re: TV repair components

I'm finding I'm doing less capacitor replacements as LCD TVs with bad caps are around the 10yr old mark and likely to get junked and more LED backlight replacements. Anytime I order a part on Digikey, I tend to order a few extra since shipping costs way more than the parts themselves.
