Re: How Many Screens Have You "Accidentally Cracked" ?
Just two on my Galaxy S3 and i managed to fcuk up a screen on a HP laptop. I didn't realise the LED circuitry was stuck to the bezel when I removed it and it tore the ribbon cable.

Re: How Many Screens Have You "Accidentally Cracked" ?
I just dropped it from 3-4 ft when it slipped from my fingers, it fell straight down to the floor oriented the way you'd view it. Something caused a vibration and the stem cracked, letting the air in. At least I got a flyback transformer out of it to play with...
I don't see myself breaking an LCD yet. Knock on wood. I bet my phones or laptop may be the first one...Leave a comment:

Re: How Many Screens Have You "Accidentally Cracked" ?
I never cracked any either. Then again, I don't do that much work on LCD TVs and monitors. Only have repaired like 11 or so LCDs total.
As for CRT - how do you crack that?!
These things are tough to break. Even a story with pictures of one guy here (on BCN) accidentally having his 100 lbs (~45 Kg) 24" CRT roll down the stairs a full story and still working afterwards.
Well, for LCDs (especially TVs), the Wii-mote usually does it.

Re: How Many Screens Have You "Accidentally Cracked" ?
Hm, just one so far. It was back in the mid 80's and I was carrying a so-called portable table model out to the customer's car. The thing must have weighed a good 75 lbs., the handle was at the top of the set - and it pulled free from the set. Probably busted some of the other tubes, too, talk about a downer .Leave a comment:

Zero
I find it amazing when you look on ebay and craiglist, to see how many "AS IS" units are because the screen is shattered. For TVs and monitors. I just don't know how it happens on such a large scale.Leave a comment:

1. I dropped a CRT monitor.
It wasn't as spectacular as I thought it would be.Leave a comment:

How Many Screens Have You "Accidentally Cracked" ?
Just wandering people how many Crt, Lcd, Pdp or Oled screens have you cracked accidentally ? This could be when repairing the display or just pure harsh luck.
I can proudly say in all 322 Tvs I have repaired (so far) I have never accidentally cracked a single display Of course some that haven't been economically repairable have met the sole of my foot lol

I have three Microsoft Surface Pro 5 model 1796, with all cracked screens.
Have bought from Aliexpress three new screens, the part numbers from my and the seller are the same:
Bad working China screen part number:
Good working own screen part number
Error I get with the bad working China screen:
No error with the good working own screen:
All the three China screens (all the same exact part numbers) produce the same error in Device manager. Have also performed a clean installation... -
Friends,
It appears I've accidentally applied 19VDC to a PCB that should only run 12VDC.
The board now does not power on, even with 12VDC..
Using a thermal camera shows entire board remains COLD except one component (near power plug) that heats to 120C and higher!!
Suspected component is marked with "T" (slanted) and "BE", think/hope it is some kind of fuse, in photo just ABOVE the green power terminals and LEFT of the 16V capacitor (on right of photo)
Interesting part is measuring continuity across that component shows 0-reistance... -

I have got an old Gardtec GT595 alarm which has got a faulty keypad with a failed LCD screen. This was apparently a very common problem with these and many people have had to replace the whole alarm because of this problem. Somebody claims to be able to repair the keypads by replacing the screen and I have tried it myself by replacing the LCD with a commonly available HD44780 1602 16x2 Serial LCD screen but it is not working. I am sure it is a problem with a driver or simular which is not allowing the screen to talk to the rest of the electronics. Does anyone know what this original screen was... -
I've never seen a screen cracked like this and still have a perfect picture.
Maybe it's the diffuser cracked like on some of the Samsung NU series.
Just curious what you guys think. TV is for sale in my area and thinking of maybe trying my luck.
Wanted some other opinions before I pull the trigger...
