    Beware of cracked screen LCDs

    My dad picked up a 32" LCD today with no power.

    Turned out the guy pulled the fuses from the PSU and filter board, and the screen was cracked.

    My dad didn't notice this, but I can't expect him to - you can just about see this from certain angles.

    For £20 he did that...

    Looks like the guy punched it - or threw something at it.

    The boards are all otherwise okay. (It's a Vestel so the boards are common failures.)

    I've got a 32" LCD spare, I may be able to change the LCD...

      I have had no problem getting TVs. I can get one every week. For around £20 to £50 each.

      I would avoid any plasmas below 1024x768 resolution (HD Ready); I'd also avoid any LG Plasma that's not 1080p because they have common problems with sparklies which are difficult to get rid of.

        I would be very cautious about buying another 37" tv as they seem to be more difficult to get the mainboard's for. Those that do sell them want to pull your pants down.
        Fixed so far : 1 Home cinema system, 16 LCD Monitors, 4 LCD TV's

          I've only repaired two 37" TVs before - they are a rare screen size now compared to 40" and 42". They were easy fixes, one bad caps (Bush), another inverter transformer failure (Philips).

                  I cant wait to clear the decks so that I can work on my Barco 42" monitor that will be be a laugh.

                  I have a few empty monitor shells that I need to take to the tip. Do they tend to have the tv's piled up there for you to buy or do you have to ask a man to go and make them appear from somewhere?

                    They usually have one or two, I don't have to ask to see them, but I usually ask them to plug it in.

                      Re: Beware of cracked screen LCDs

                      Hah, I've just noticed this TV doesn't have HDMI or Component or VGA inputs...

                      Yet it has a 1366x768 panel... But it has no way of ever displaying anything above 720x576!!

                      Why??

                      Because of this I might not bother repairing it, as it's not worth much.

                        Hmm. These LCDs are quite rugged!

                          Just cause people are asking 50 pounds doesnt mean you cant offer them less. In my experience people are usually willing to accept about 30% less if you are able to pick it up from them / at their convenience.

                          I fixed a beautiful samsung 37" that i like so much ill probably keep for myself. It was a bad t-con so i had to buy it on ebay, and there wernt a lot listed so i had to pay 50 dollars for the tcon, but it was worth it.
                          Fixed so far 12 lcd's , 1 plasmas, 5 monitors, 0 dlp's (plan to keep the dlps at 0). and 3 atx power supplies, and 2 motherboards.

                              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...

                              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...

                              I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

                              The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

                              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,...

                              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...
