        4 x 3" nails will usually fix it to the studs. Just be careful and don't sink the heads into the glass. If you aren't good with a hammer you can use those felt washers if you don't mind some of the "picture" being obscured.

            Buy new tv.
            take apart everything.
            Take screen put in your broken tv.
            reassemble.
            Fixed!!!!

            place spare parts in properly marked box for later use.

              That will be their next article on wall mounting a TV.

                  If you feel any wetness around the crack....
                  Apply a thick coat of petroleum jelly to the crack. Rub it in slowly and thoroughly....
                  Um, wait, are we still talking about fixing a TV?

                      Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
                      by Ryan.man
                      Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                      My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                      This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                      Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light
                      by Alicat
                      Hello,

                      Stopped by this site trying to fix my parents Panasonic Plasma TV.

                      Model number is TH-50PZ85U

                      Power comes on and the red power light stays on solid.

                      Did a few checks like hold the power button on for 60 seconds, hold the - Volume while holding the menu button, no luck, still@ blank grey screen as the screen lights up very vague.

                      I also hear a few clicks.

                      I also think my parents said there was a thunderstorm and the TV failed after that.

                      Section 6 in the service manual talks about power and no screen,...

                      Panasonic Plasma screen interference on left half of screen
                      by Zelek11
                      My Panasonic Plasma model P55VT50 has started displaying "interference" on just the left half of the screen only (left when facing the screen). Sometimes it's concentrated in about the first 30 seconds after startup, then disappears. Other times it's fine at startup and then randomly does it later on. When it flashes the interference it's very quick and doesn't stay on the screen unless it flashes repeatedly in a row.



                      This image is a screen shot from a video I took. This is an example of the interference at its worst. Often the interference is much smaller...

                      Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
                      by Chrissygizmo
                      Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
                      I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

                      Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
                      by spice_disc
                      I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

                      The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...
