Testing boards after repair

[tech2014]

After repairing an XSUS board, I am testing the board in a working tv. I set up the tv with the test pattern. What I want to know is how long should I have the board in the tv?

Its a Samsung model PN51D550C1F.
Would 30 minutes be sufficient?

Re: Testing boards after repair

Depends. When I worked in the electronic industry our QC Department would test new units for 60 hours continuously running them doing every test to check all parts out which also included turning them off and on for short periods of time. The TV you are working on has already passed there initial TV QC. You could put a warranty on your repair work for 30 days that way if you created a problem in your repair work you will find that out or if there was more to the problem then you discovered you would find out. If you found out it was your workmanship you would learn from that and you could do the repair the second time for free. If you found out there was more to do with the problem then when you first repair it you could negotiate an added repair price with your customer. In this way you don't get robbed and you will keep all your fair minded customers happy. The customers who complain no matter what the problem are a waste of time. With all that said it depends on what you are comfortable doing.
