    What to do Fix or Part out?

    So I picked up 11 TV's mix match of Plasma and LCD from Scrap collector and two boxes of boards and now don't know what is better to do? Fix them or Part them out? I have fixed three of them already and have figured out the problem with most of them but don't have any family members or friends that need anymore tvs and would maybe like to make a few bucks off of them but not sure what is better?

    Buy replacement boards to fix and then sell the Tv's or to part them out to fix other tv's that people are trying to keep working either way they are out of the garbage pile.

    Also if I do sell the boards how is the best way to describe the boards so I don't sell broken boards unknowingly and so that I don't get people saying they don't work to try and keep them with there money back.

    I plan to not sell boards I have figured as bad boards either by testing them or by troubleshooting the tv.

    Just trying to be a honest person and know what I think i will do but wanted to get people opinions.

    It really depends on what they are. Maybe a list of models would help.

      Depends on if the screens are cracked.

      Cracked screen? Part it out.

          Depends on your skill level, if you are experienced or willing to learn electronics repair try fixing all of them, but if you're in it for maximum return for time invested, sell on the difficult ones.

            Three 820-01700 32GB Logic Boards Same Issue: Won't Wake From Hibernate
            by ugamazing
            I have three identical-spec 820-01700 boards (2.6/32/512), and ALL THREE boards came to us with the same fault, from different sources: The boards don't wake from hibernation with the keyboard or lid, they ONLY wake when you press the power button. I understand this is a very minor issue, but the boards must be fixed!

            We will of course begin with the obvious (checking lid signals), but I couldn't help but notice these three boards were all 32GB variants. Has anyone noticed an issue relating to these 32GB boards in particular? I of course don't think it's a RAM issue, but it's bizarre...

            Finding the wrong part at a loooong led strip, part works fine, part flickers, all parallel...
            by edugimeno
            Hi There!
            I'm trying to help my friend who owns a restaurant be just bought.
            He has a very long LED strip running along all the walls and columns. The strip is attached facing down 2in above the floor, using a wall panel that ends in a metal rail that finishes the panel underneath
            It's stuck using, I guess, the 2 sided tape that comes with the strip
            The issue is that like 1/2 of the full length, including 1/2 one wall, another entire wall, and one column, flickers after 4 or 5 minutes ON. Particularly it flashes staying OFF most of the time and flashing ON for 1 tenth...

            Panasonic part number in service manuals
            by Yanleb
            In the Panasonic service manuals, both in the board schematics and in the part listing, the part numbers that are given are Panasonic part numbers instead of the actual part numbers.

            This is especially annoying for small SMD components like diodes and transistors when you only have 1-3 digits printed on the component body.

            For an example, look at the attached PDF.

            Do you have a way to cross reference the Panasonic part number with the actual part number?

            Thanks....

            Apple M1 Boards & Exclamatory Error?
            by ugamazing
            We've now created a stack of 10 boards that have the same issue, which we suspect to be CPU-related. The issue is very simple--the board will not boot to anything, only showing the exclamatory sign inside a circle. No amount of DFU/restore, wipe/erase, etc, will resolve the issue. No boards have physical damage. We went ahead and replaced the SSD nands on two boards (one 02020, one 02016) and the issue remained exactly the same. We are considering replacing the CPU on one of the boards using a locked CPU, just so we can see if it resolves the issue.

            Has anyone else run into this...
