Does anyone have a way to test for a broken LCD screen prior to purchase? I'm talking about TVs that have died on the previous owner and they are selling it for a song. Of course, the TV doesn't power-on, so that way is out.
I purchased a Samsung 40" that was supposed to be okay (except it didn't power on). After fixing the power supply (capacitors) and firing the thing up, there was a crack across the screen. I've tried various ways of looking for a cracked screen, but I have succeeded with none of them.
I've just been chalking the bad ones up as "you win some, you lose some". I like to sell whole TVs locally, as I don't want to deal with the people who claim that I sold them a board that doesn't work (the "skeet" shooters).
