    LG 42PM1M Screen burn in, possible to fix?

    This is an LG plasma 720p (768) monitor, no TV tuner built in. I was given this TV by a friend who owned a fitness center. The TV was used to display info about upcoming events but unfortunately they had their logo and a few display elements onscreen full time, no screen saver, no rotation of the elements to different places on the screen. It was essentially a powerpoint running 24x7 for 4 years.

    I can play a movie and it all displays fine except I get some "burn in" where the images were displayed and I get some amount of Tom66's "sparklies" throughout the screen. The first thing I intend to do is check PS and Sus voltages and adjust them into spec using Tom66's great plama guide. The picture isn't unbearable for a TV to put in the garage but it would sure be nice to get it back to a decent operating state for a spare room in the house.

    My question is this...can this ghost image phosphor burn be fixed without replacing the entire panel (which I wouldn't want to do)?

    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...

    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...

    Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
    by spice_disc
    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...

    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,...
