I have a customer who is having an issue with a smartTV. His wife sprayed the screen with mr clean and now its acting weird. When he is using his remote to change from the on screen options, it seems to have a mind of its own. It will move on its own between icons on screen, or when he moves it left, it moves to the right. Any idea what could be causing this? It worked fine before cleaning so I assume its a screen issue.

Re: TV acting strange after cleaning screen
more than likely she's used a cloth charged with static and damaged the touch sensitive buttons. -
Re: TV acting strange after cleaning screen
thanks. Is this something that is repairable or not?Comment

Re: TV acting strange after cleaning screen
Diagnose it first.
Unplug the buttons from the main board.
Use the remote and see if it still changes icons etc.
If not then you know it's the buttons.
Good chance someone will be selling them.
Alternatively use your ohm meter and check for differences in resistance.
Or of course, just tell the customer to use the remote and leave the buttons disconnected.Comment

Re: TV acting strange after cleaning screen
bu buttons I assume you mean the power/input/menu buttons on the bottom/side of the tv.Comment

YesComment

Re: TV acting strange after cleaning screen
will the remote work without the buttons/sensor being connected to the main board?Comment

Re: TV acting strange after cleaning screen
well if the remote sensor isnt plugged into the mainboard its not going to work.
there will be a way to diconnect the buttons.. even if it involves removing the wires from the harness.Comment

Re: TV acting strange after cleaning screen
Or if the buttons are on the bottom, she sprayed to much on the screen and this has run down between the frame and is making sporadic connections.Comment

Re: TV acting strange after cleaning screen
It is also bad if it uses one of those screen where the tab bonding boards are at the bottom side in stead of on the top side of the screen, they get corroded and ruin the screen, seen that many times.Never stop learning

Hello everyone,
This is my first post after browsing this wonderful treasure trove of knowledge for many, many evenings. I've decided to learn how to fix these things, properly.
My patient is an A2338 Macbook Pro M1 (late 2020).
It had some corrosion around JT710 and JT700 caused by liquid spill, as well as against the protective barrier around the USB-C chips UF000 and UF100. So I took the main board out and cleaned it with a toothbrush and alcohol, then with alcohol in an ultrasonic cleaner. Cleaned the touchbar flex connectors as well. The board looks... -
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... -
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...07-31-2025, 08:37 PM -
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... -
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...
