    optical convex lens?

    HI have a question, what those TV backlight LED lens (optical convex lens? ) are called. If they fall, how can we glue it back? Hot glue gun or super glue?

    not hot glue or superglue - the leds get hot.
    maybe clear silicone. (neutral cure type)
    search on ebay for a chinese product called 705 "705 silicone"

      Will silicone glues take too long to harden?

        how long is too long?
        that stuff is reasonably fast.

          It has to be flexible (silicone rubber) because of the temperature swings. Hard epoxy just cracks.

          24hr cure for a big blob or thick run, and 1hr for thin films. It's the thickness that mainly affects cure time. Humidity and airflow, temperature also play a part.

          I leave the stuff overnight, or several hours upright at least if the lens is heavy.

            Can I use 10 seconds UV glue for promptness?

              you can try.
              but first, harden some on a bit of tape or card, then bend it
              if it cracks it wont work, if it bends then it might.
              it also has to be heat-proof.

                  shopjimmy are fucking assholes!
                  the heat from the led will cause the cyanocrylate to soften and evaporate - then the vapor will form a stinky foggy powdery coating on everything!!!

                    454,990 viewers from shopjimmy might be fix led lens using superglue which vapors are very irritating. UV glue or UV silicone glue would be a better way.

                      B....UV light for 10 seconds.
                      C....it is ready.

                        The Real Dangers of conductive glue.
                        by mitsu2k
                        I know many folks on this forum warn against conductive glue and suggest removing it immediately upon site. I'm here to vouch and say these people know what they are talking about. To be more accurate, the glue isn't intended to be and doesn't actually start out conductive. It gets conductive as it is heated by components that get hot. The glue starts out to be a light tan color but as it is exposed to heat, it gets darker and darker until it is a dark brown. I have found that it becomes conductive at the point that it reaches a light brown color on darker.

                        Here is an experience I...

                        This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                        There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                        Hi guys,
                        This is my own (actually present to gf) amp which I am not even using so much.
                        Recently started to use optical input from TV which worked great.
                        However recently the link went down.
                        Few days ago I opened it up, cleaned PCBs from dust, then came back to life.
                        But today it did the same thing again.
                        On TV when I change setting from speakers to just optical and other way around, audio comes up only for very short moment.
                        There are 2 optical inputs, both behave same way.
                        I found schematic which is attached.
                        I hope this forum experts...

                        Soooo, I found someone giving away their 70" Vizio TV because it wouldn't turn on. Hoping it would be just some bad caps, I snapped it up. No dice. No bulging caps. TV would start consuming about 7W immediately after plugging it in, but no response from the remote or power button. Thermal showed the main chip on the mobo getting warm and nothing else. Power supply appeared to deliver stable 12V to the mainboard.

                        I ordered a replacement mobo(actually both mobo and PSU just to be sure) and popped it in. Picture! Sound! Endorphins! Then I noticed three long dark strips. Hmmm, had...
