    Interesting home-built TAB bonding machine

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtY1QH120-I

    Looks like i haven't been the only Romanian with this idea. I find it pretty amazing how the tab is completely removed and then bonded back on, and the TV works afterwards! I wasn't thinking of actually removing the TAB connection, but rather just re-applying pressure and heat to "reflow" it in a way. But it seems that the actual replacement of TAB drivers is possible.

      Well it's kinda self-explanatory. I have been studying the TAB bonding process lately and gathering as much information as i could. They are basically pressure bonded. Apply a set amount of pressure, apply heat, done.

      I believe the equipment to rework this is like BGA reworking equipment - large, automated professional machines are extremely expensive, but much cheaper options are available if you don't need to do a lot of them quickly. I think i can build something like shown in the video.

        Really??

        It may be obvious to you since you are studying it and yes I know what he is obviously trying to fix, but he doesn't tell you anything about the procedures, the materials used, the process, the time it takes, success rate, cost, tools, why this is better than another method, longevity, etc.

          apparently he cleaned the surface with alcohol, the pressure heat combination, O.k. Question is how much pressure and heat? What kind of glue did he use?

            This could be big for us if we can replicate it. I just started taking in TV's this year and already have two with a tab bonding issue.

            I have a Sony 52 inch that I'm willing to use as a guinea pig.

                    Yes he is using usb type microscope for alignment.
                    HAs a decent working distance too on the microscope too...
                    He has his email in the video anyone contacted him. ?

                            From where can we purchase new tabs?
                            I have one that has a hole in it. I need to replace it.

                                I've tried just reheating them, it doesn't work. The anisotropic tape is one time use. Only thing that's stopped me from attempting any replacement with new tape is the cost of the tape, and the fact that it has a short shelf life. I believe it also must be kept refrigerated.

                                  I think when his hand was in the way, he was cleaning and prepping the surface. Now if someone can create a method for repairing scratches, that would make me happy.

                                      Very interesting indeed, but to re-do the tab bonding then I wonder what you have to use to remove the old epoxy adhesive first.

                                        I'll see what I can find on that. As for tabs, I've heard of reusing ones from cracked LCDs.
