    Wire to Wire replacement

    Hi,

    Newbie here.

    I have a TV where the sound works but the picture does not turn on. I opened up the back to see if I had any bad caps, but they all looked good to me. However, there was one wire that had obviously overheated and burned. In fact, it got so hot that it was burning the metal inside the TV! (see pictures)

    So, I believe I need to replace this wire, but I have no idea where to start. The actual plastic wire to wire connectors appear to be fine -- it is the wire itself that is now exposed and has burned through itself.

    Is there somewhere where I can buy a replacement part? Or do I need to buy the wire myself, and then somehow attach it to the wire to wire connector?

    Here are my TV specs:

    It is a Calypso (was a Staples in-store band), but I believe it uses Samsung parts. The model number inside the TV is T400xw01 v.6.

    The wire to wire connectors are 13.00mm in size (these are the actual connectors: http://www.tkp.com.tw/en/product/13.00mm/TKP-0882.html)

    One of the wires has printed on it: E215834 AWM STYLE 3239 22AWG 3KV-DC 150C VW-1 CSA TYPE TV-3 SILICONE RUBBER 150C NIZING

    The other wire his printed on it: AWM3239 22AWG 200C 3KV VW-1 SILICONE RUBBER AWM 1 A/B 200C EKV PT1 SHENZHEN MYSUN (this is the wire that has burned through itself)

    Please see attached pictures. Let me know if I can clarify anything.

    Thank you in advance for any help!

    Re: Wire to Wire replacement

    That looks like the wires going to the back lights,correct?
    You wanna be careful with that,really high voltage going through those wires.
    For that wire to burn that badly,there is a strong chance there's a faulty CFFL in your screen(one of the light tubes that light up your screen)...

      That was my first reaction also. There is a real good chance that the CCFL tube that the wire was attached to is shorted out. Be really careful around these lights they break easily and they carry a lot of electricity. The individual tubes are probably available on Ebay, but can be moderately difficult to replace. The wires should also be available probably from the supplier of the tubes.
      Have you ever stopped to think and then forget to start thinking again?

        New wire for my RDE3340 Whirlpool electric range
        by wnlewis
        OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.

        Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.

        This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.

        The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.

        Where may I find parts...

        Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK, 80U00002US battery cable wire broken.
        by emeskay
        We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was...

        Vintage fan repair, copper wire question
        by technicalspecialist
        I currently have a customer's vintage fan on the work bench to repair.
        It uses an induction motor with 4 poles. One of the poles is open.
        I couldn't find the break so i cut off the original wire.
        I have measured the other poles and the resistance is about 28 ohms per pole and I measured the diameter of the wire with my digital calipers and it is 0.35mm in diameter.

        I need to work out how much 0.35mm diameter enamelled copper wire i need to order for it to be 28 ohms. I have used this calculator and it says i need 160.35 metres.

        The enamelled copper...

        Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
        by the_rem
        Hello guys,

        I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

        I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

        Heater element wire type instead of a fuse when troubleshooting a short circuit DIY
        by sam_sam_sam
        I was Ollie today which is a close out / surplus outlet store I do not go in there to often because you find things that you should not be tempted by but that is a another story

        I saw a small space heater that used a wire type of heater element which I been looking for a while but not really hard mind you but when I saw this I grabbed it I going to go back tomorrow and buy the last one that is like the one I bought today because I need the heater element and the ceramic insulators and more of heat element wire because this one has two different wattage settings one 1300 watts ( tap...
