    Big screen sets with metal backs--a Warning....

    After suffering yet another deep and bloody gash in my hand from an L.G. steel back-cover from a 50" set, I thought it worth mentioning the hazards that rear cover removal/replacement can cause.

    the rear covers are often thin steel sheet metal, pressed out and have Razor sharp edges.

    They'll cut fast and deep--You'll not even notice till its too late....

    Those of you that aquire sets from recycling-centres or the city dump are at greater risks due to the possibility of Weils Disease, a very dangerous ailment transmitted by vermin urine....

      It happened to me too, from an LG 42LV3500 LED thin TV.

              Enough Panasonic plasmas that I am riddled in battle scars - always clean after getting cut!

                  Oh yeah, all it took was one time for me, then I bought a pair of Mechanix gloves that I wear whenever I handle the covers. $15 well spent!

                      The manufacturers are too lazy to deburr the sharp edges, feel sorry for the workers that have to deal with this everyday.

                          Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
                          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...

                          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...

                          Problem

                          This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                          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...

                          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...
