    Zenith Z50PJ240 - White Screen with 'Power Only' displayed

    Turned on my lovely plasma and after about 30 seconds the screen below showed up. None of the inputs are responsive, just the red light flashes when I push it. Remote doesn't work either. To turn it off I need to unplug it and when I plug it in again it turns back on to this screen.

    I only found one reference to this issue with a different model but it didn't look super reliable. Only mentioned a 'main board fault'. The main board for this one is on ebay for $34 so might need to go with that.

    Anyone seen this before?

    Thinking about it some more, it happened right as I pushed the wrong button on the remote I use for this TV. It's not a Zenith remote. I pushed the 'open/close' button on the remote instead of the 'input' button and it immediately displayed this message. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I did find this which talks about universal remotes causing issues for LG tvs. Zenith is owned by LG.

    EDIT - So I fixed this issue by simply pushing the 'Exit' button on the remote I have. It's not a universal remote, but it's also not a Zenith remote. But it worked!! So this post is just for anyone in the future who might encounter this weird situation.

      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...

      iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
      by smic717394
      Hi,

      I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

      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...

      ipad pro 9.7" blew a SMD component while replacing the screen 🤦‍♂️
      by ipatch
      i have an ipad pro 9.7" (1st gen) A1674 where i replaced the screen, but never attached the screen to the frame/chassis (glued down) due to the ipad being previously dropped so the new screen would never fit in the frame properly. so i need flex/bend the chassis to eventually fix the new screen in properly. so i temporarily just applied blue tape around the edges of the screen to keep it in place. when watching videos with the ipad the screen started flicker, so i though maybe the new quasi cheap amz screen i purchased was going out. so i disconnected then reconnected with power still on,...

      Trouble to identify part (Lunii screen) for replacement
      by FreakyMex
      Hello guys. I'm a complete noob in electronics. I'd like to repair my child Lunii's (a "story box"), basically an audio player that allows the childs to choose between several options the places, characters, objects of the story, and then play a story according to the choice of the child. There is a screen that display the selected option before each choice. The Lunii fell and the screen is now broken.
      I'd like to repair it (probably just have to change the part, because the lunii still works perfectly fine) but I can't manage to identify the part/order it online. Do you have any...
