    Plasma TV chip on screen

    Hello all,

    I just picked up a 50" plasma for a good price (I hope!). However, when moving it or something, there is now a small chip on the screen. The glass itself is okay, but it looks like there is a plastic coating (polarization?) that is slightly chipped off. Can this be easily fixed? Would something like the Novus TV scratch remover (listed on eBay) work? Or will it not be noticeable when the TV is on?

    Also, when I first plugged the TV in, it made a popping noise from the back , so I may be back to ask for more help.

    Thanks in advance guys!!

      Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
      by acedogblast
      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...

      ASRock B650M PRO RS - BIOS CHIP 25Q256JW BLOCKED BY STATUS REGISTERS
      by DynaxSC
      Hi

      I have a very strange issue with the BIOS SPI chip of an ASRock B650M PRO RS motherboard.
      The SPI chip is an Winbond 25Q256JWEQ model (1V8).
      The motherbaord doas not POST - it lits only CPU and DRAM EZ Debug Leds, and stays that way forever.
      The Flashback function of the motherbaord is also not working, despite all instructions followed correctly - I'm 100% sure of this.

      I have then desoldered the chip, backupped the contents, and tried to earease the chip in order to program stock image, but the chip is locked by status registers SREG2 (TB) and SREG6...

      MacBook Pro 14". The screen DP chip failed.
      by SSBDADC234

      When replacing the screen of this MacBook model, the DP855A chip must be moved from the existing screen for the screen to operate properly.
      However, when I removed the DP855A chip from the existing screen, I must have done something wrong and the chip broke.
      Testing the chip pins with a multimeter revealed a short circuit inside the chip.
      Is it impossible to repair this? I couldn't find a programmer for this chip, nor any eeprom programmer software.​...

      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,...

      Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
      by reformatt
      Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

      It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...
