Yes if the screen is cracked/broken, unless you are lucky enough to find a compatible screen from a donor tv, since new screens are like 80 % of the cost of a new tv.

Re: Hisense 50P6

Ha I’ll bear that in mind Mr S!

Am I also right in thinking that a solid rule of thumb for ensuring a profit can be made on a tv is that if there’s screen damage it’s probably beyond economical repair?

Re: Hisense 50P6

Sure, there's always a market for used tvs, it's all about the pricing. Some of the shit tvs like those samsung NU we keep going over probably should not be resold for safety sake.

Re: Hisense 50P6

Great thread to learn from!

I’ve been going through a few threads I feel will be beneficial to me to get the most out of as a complete beginner at this sort of thing. I do have a Telly I’m trying to repair just now and will start a thread of my own about it tomorrow when I have the back panel off to take photos as I see and read that’s the thing the people on here who are giving the solid advice ask for first and foremost.

I’m determined to be able to learn enough about the repair of old tellys to be able to make a side hustle from it. I’m sure there’s many more experienced people on here rolling their eyes at what I’ve said but god loves a trier apparently haha.

Some wonderful info on here and overwhelming/daunting acronyms as well!

Re: Hisense 50P6

I hear you, I wouldn't even give half that for one, thought this was funny, check out the list of details, look at the one right under TV Energy Star Rating: https://www.winnings.com.au/p/hisens...ed-lcd-tv-50p6

Re: Hisense 50P6

thanks Diah,

It appears that I will need to try source one at the right price, as the one's that I have seen over here in Australia, come in at a high price of $199, which for a "try part", is simply out of my league to resurrect a 2nd hand tv.

As a learning key for me, how is it finally determined by some people, when they post about vertical lines etc, they then say it has to be a "panel issue"?

If a panel can display all coloured lines across the display, to me, how does that indicate to some people that the panel is no good?

I guess all I can hope for is to find someone wrecking a whole tv that doesn't work to try extract a part, but then my fear is , that the part I purchase, may infact be damaged as well?

Re: Hisense 50P6

lotas, Diah,nomoresonys...

I followed Diah instructions exactly, thanks for the very clear instructions.

I used a 4GB usb stick this time.

Loaded it with the file, changed it's name to upgrade_loader.pkg

Inserted it to Hisense usb port, press power on remote, await boot to let go of power button

Unfortunately it still does as it did before, going straight into the coloured vertical lines, with nothing thereafter.

Tried a number of times, as well as trying in both of the Hisense usb ports.

Gosh, it seems so simple a thing to do, but this Hisense is simply not behaving for us.

Anything else we can try do you think?

Thank you everyone.

Re: Hisense 50P6

Thanks again for the suggestions...I will dig out a small GB USB stick and try again

[nomoresonys]

Re: Hisense 50P6

Maybe that usb drive doesn't want to play nice with your tv, try a different one, you have any less than 8gb?

[Diah]

Re: Hisense 50P6

Thanks Diah,
I do not know what/how to format is as FAT32 MBR mode

if you have srick smaller than 32Gb will be fine.. however to make MBR mode
open CMD on yours PC
write

1- diskpart  press inter disk part will start
2- list disk  it will show you all disk on PC be sure to choice yours usb stick for example if it under disk 1
3- select disk 1
4- clean
5- convert mbr
6- create partition primary
7- active
8- list partition
9- select partition 1
10- format fs=fat32 quick
11- assign

Re: Hisense 50P6

1- usb formatted as FAT32 MBR mode
2- the first file with format .pkg dont extract it. just copy it on the stick
3- you may need to rename the file upgrade_loader.pkg in case didnt start
4- no need 60 second. as son you press power on RC and keep press plug the tv in wall
5-insert the USB at USB Ver2 ( black socket at the side of the TV

Thanks Diah,

I am certain that this is what I have done.

I did not realise that you could not see the file, but it is as before, posted here again, and is file number 3

I did it all again

No change

I d/l it and it shows as usb_AA6501U.pkg

I transfer the file onto formatted FAT 32 stick

I plugged it to tv and it would not boot.

I removed usb, changed file name to

upgrade_loader.pkg

Reinsert to tv

All no go still

I do not know what/how to format is as FAT32 MBR mode

I look in google via search, and it says ....

"The first is to simply format the drive using the MBR format. This can be done in Windows by right-clicking on the drive in My Computer and selecting Format. In the Format dialog box, select the option to format the drive for MBR."

When I do this I only have the options
NTFS
FAT32 (default)
exFAT

In disk management it shows my usb as D 14.32GB FAT32 Healthy Primary Partition

It shows no errors.

Am I doing this right?

THANK YOU

EDIT...file ext only shows .pkg the once.

Re: Hisense 50P6

BTW: yours link of firmware in post#55 its belong only to yours e.mail to download... no other third party can download it.

[Diah]

Re: Hisense 50P6

my post#52 read it again.. your problem at PC
1- you need to active at Folder Option to show known extension file .. so you can see the last extension to avoid it written .pkg.pkg
2- rename the file to upgrade_loader.pkg

Re: Hisense 50P6

Back to square one again.

The usb simply seems to be doing nothing.

I keep power unplugged, and drain the power by either holding down the tv or remote power button for 60 seconds.

I then keep holding the power button and plug in the power, holding, awaiting device notification or boot, but that never arrives.

I did also change the file name to upgrade_loader.pkg....no difference.

Tried either usb port...ditto

My luck with repairs is abysmal.

Are we at the end of any help now?

Thanks all.

Re: Hisense 50P6

Yes, you need to transfer this file to a formatted usb stick.

[viewerau]

Re: Hisense 50P6

It is the third file from the Hisense link.

Putting onto usb now

[nomoresonys]

Re: Hisense 50P6

Ok, so is that the first file after you extract? then you should be able to move that file to your usb drive, right?
