    Moving LCD Panels

    I have been moving around LCD panels by keeping them vertical. However, this gets to be a problem when reassembling them into TVs after replacing either LEDs or CCFL tubes. I would like to know what others are using to prevent damage to the LCDs in disassembly and reassembly.

    I was thinking of getting two of these suction cup lifters from my local HF. The end to end dimension is approximately 12". Does anyone have better solutions?

    Someone may have experience with those suction things and LCDs, but I would have thought it would be a risk they may apply enough suction that they break the thin LCD glass.

    Might be able to get something like that with "weak" suction that would work well though?

      I leave them in the plastic frame with some tape from the frame to the panel to stop the screen falling out

        I use a sheet of thick brown rapping paper (I have a roll 48" wide) , and slide this under the panel from the end without the tabs, then with a second pair of hands lift away like you would with a person on a blanket.the paper supports the screen and refitting it is just the reverse. I have with help used this for screen sizes up to 70" with no problems. I hope this is of help to you Flocko

          Sell or Shim Solar panels?
          by eccerr0r
          Well, due to my grid tie inverter not accepting high voltages, and the fact that the lions in my solar panels are 36V (72-cell) I think I need to stick with 72-cell.

          However I have a few smaller panels that are 36, 32, and two 30-cell. The 36 and 32 together run at 75% efficiency (and subtract more with additional inefficiencies) when running in parallel with the 72-cell panels. The kicker is that the two 30s... generate 0% power when connected in parallel(!)

          So now what to do with these small panels?

          I could sell them...

          Or I could shim them....

          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....

          Epic failure of the screen suction holders
          by jason123
          Just sharing a failure of the suction cups used for screen removal. I don't know if these require special maintenance, but they came with no literature.

          Today i was repairing a Vizio E70-E3 (70" 4k TV) with bad backlight. One of the suction cups failed and the panel hit the ground and shattered. I got these from SJ so they're supposed to be decent quality.

          Anything you guys do to maintain the rubber on these? I wipe them with damp rag before use, then wipe dry. Any hints / tips?

          Psuedo-4K LCD panels
          by japlytic
          I have come across (and was burned by at least one) so called "4K" (claiming 3840 * 2160) LCD panels which have an actual resolution of Full HD (1920 * 1080) meaning that every second pixel in either direction is skipped.
          For panels 19 inches (used in notebooks and tablets) and smaller with an Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) interface, do you know of any "4K" panels fitting into this category which do not have actual 4K resolution and the ones which have actual 4K resolution?
