    General LCD repair

    A lot of people on here will probably disagree with me on this but i am going to say it anyway as food for thought. When i work on an lcd tv i do not go out and buy new/used power boards, t-con boards or main boards if it is a cap
    problem in pwr supply i put a used cap i salvaged from other tvs just to see
    if that is the only problem or if there is more issues.Then i will put high quality parts in if it is worth it. To me everything i have seen with lcd tvs tell me they are most of the time not worth repairing
    unless you know the full history of the tv or if it is your personal tv then i would say fix it. The quality of most lcd tvs is poor and most customers will complain about the the cost of repair and say "I will Just go Buy a new One"
    To me we should educate the general public to complain to manufactures and government officials and do something about the poor quality have the general public not buy products until they make a quality product that will last.
    A one year guarantee on a tv is ridiculous they should have a minimum of a 5 yr guarantee, unless the public gets smarter and complains to the right people
    nothing will change. I see a lot of lcd tvs going into the garbage So much for progress hey. Thanks Just my 2 cents worth

      Help Identify cap brand and quality, please
      by ckrtech
      This is a cap on a motherboard from 1994. “Ark” is the only brand I know of that has an A inside a rectangle, but I wanted to run it by you guys and get any thoughts on quality.

      Thanks in advance....

      Backlight strip quality, Amazon vs Ebay vs ShopJimmy. Is there really a difference?
      by DXseekerMO
      Hello everyone!

      Recently I've noticed that some ShopJimmy backlight strips don't have double-sided tape installed upon them when an application calls for it, and I must purchase the tape separately. In a recent chat conversation with a customer service agent I told them if this tape wasn't applied when it was called for I would begin to consider ordering my backlight strips elsewhere. It looks like this time may have come.

      I recently got a TCL 65S4 with bad backlights. After looking at the SJ listing here: https://www.shopjimmy.com/tcl-jl-d65...365as-m-led-ba...
      Yes

      All backlight strips are the same quality

      Air Con PCB repair : some general question
      by dicky96
      Hi guys
      I've been getting more air con controller boards of various brands for repair - mainly the ones from the outdoor compressor unit and I realise I have a lot of gaps in my specific knowledge, while being pretty good at electronic repair in general.

      Does anyone know of any good resources for information on this sort of repair? I'm hoping here there will be some guys who are experienced in this. I'd specifically like more info on how the controller PCB works, because I expect they are all pretty much the same, and especially how it communicates with the indoor unit (protocols,...

      A very general question...
      by kingiii
      A very general question, when inject voltage and board draw over 4a and pull down 5v to 1v, but nothing is hot under thermal camera. Can I assume it is layer short? or it could be something very typical that I just have no idea of being a noob.

      Boston Acoustics HD8 – build quality impressions & DIY woofer surround repair
      by momaka
      Boston Acoustics fans, this thread might not be for you.
      A few years back (~2018 time frame), I picked up a set of free JVC speakers from someone on Craigslist that no one seemed to be interested in. The guy also had a single Boston Acoustics HD8 speaker – yes, just one cabinet. He said he had no idea where he got this one from or why it's only by itself. But like the JVC speakers, it was going to get tossed at the end of that week… so I came to collect, as usual. And that's all I know about this HD8. After all, I figured why not take it and see what's inside… show it to the...
