I've no problem selling plasmas, I just call them flat screen TVs. If people ask I tell them they are plasma. But most don't care.Leave a comment:

Re: Who's got tricks for detecting a cracked LCD in a dead set.
Not.much different.here in the states.
Nobody wants a plasma anymore it seems. I have 5 Panasonic plasmas all with bad SC boards. It takes time to troubleshoot and repair these just to sell for 100 to 150 max. It a a joke. Thinking of scrapping these myself as there taking up room and my wife's bitching about them.
Sad day.Leave a comment:

Re: Who's got tricks for detecting a cracked LCD in a dead set.
I'm about to drive 100 miles tomorrow to get a 50" LG smart. Only because I know it's just bad LEDs and I have a complete backlight assembly for it and a buyer already waiting for me to find him something. Guy sent me a video, so I know what I'm getting. But I think I'm not risking much on dead sets anymore.Leave a comment:

Re: Who's got tricks for detecting a cracked LCD in a dead set.
In OZ plasma been out for some years and now getting too old. I have a Panny and an LG waiting for fix but parts either hard to get or ridiculous pricing e.g $250 for a main board !! They'll be scrapped shortly if I can't get them going. Those that have them do like them and panels do seem to last OK despite half life warnings. Also here our electricity prices very high and people these days conscious of power usage. As for screens yes turn on or don't pay very much - I picked up a binned set recently hoping screen OK as I had same set new but with broken screen, got home turned it on and everything worked perfectly !! Ya can't win ! Or should that be lose ?Leave a comment:

Re: Who's got tricks for detecting a cracked LCD in a dead set.
How can people not like plasmas? I sold 3 of them to a family on 2/27/18 for $650!
I will always have a plasma tv to watch, even if I have to store a few away.Leave a comment:

Re: Who's got tricks for detecting a cracked LCD in a dead set.
I always ask them to turn it on. If it wont, I take my cell phone with the flashlight app and shine it at an angle to look for cracks. It dosent always work though. Thats why I love plasmas, cracks show up clear as a bell.Leave a comment:

Who's got tricks for detecting a cracked LCD in a dead set.
Needless to say, I just lost some money. Couldn't see any screen damage at all. Set was completely dead. Got it home, gave the LEDs a test, and it had a crack right up the middle.

Hi all,
As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?
I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.
Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard... -
hello guys,
i need help to repair a edm-033 ps2
history : as always hdmi port and usb ports destroyed after unplugged
after change them, ps5 dead too : 1 beep, no blue light. after inspection 1.8v power was shorted, and because of dead panasonic chip. after remove it : no short anymore
so i changed it
now i have got 5v stby,, 3.3v stby, 3.3v power, 1.8v power and no short on them
but the ps5 is dead again : 1 beep, near 10 seconds with power lines and then off, no blue light ...
i don't see any projection of liquid metal on pcb.

Hi guys!
I searched for the term "dead short" in the forum but no specific thread came up however if I'm just blind and couldn't see the thread talking about this please forward me to that direction.
So my problem is I don't know how to find the source of a dead shorted voltage rail. Dead short = ~0 ohm resistance.
I have two VGAs (HD 4850 and HD 4870), both dead shorted to ground on the memory rail. I have the boardview file for the 4870 and the memory rail consists around ~7892346 capacitors...
I have a bench PSU and if I try to inject voltage the voltage... -
Hello everyone hope all doing well!
I have this PSU (GPS450-AA delta oem) around for like 4-5 years and I had it recapped early 2020 or 2021 with mostly UCC KY and Nichicon PW's. The bulk was and still is fine, the original Ltec's were bloated and empty. The previous issue was some major coil whine noise and at times random shutdowns when going idle. Today it started tripping the mains breaker and I think I have dead APFC mosfets (20N60C3). Right now upon checking I have the Q1 and Q3 FETs dead so far and I guess those are responsible for the PFC circuit. The only thing I care is If there... -
Hello, today I'm working on this lovely MSI Raider GE75 gaming laptop which I bought to flip. Unfortunately, I believe the CPU is toast but I wanted a second opinion before I chucked it into my spare parts bin. I will not have most tools with me today as I'm away from my workbench but I have the basics (a good multimeter, a horrible iron, a solid screwdriver, and my trusty thermal cam). I do not have the original 230w charger, but I have a Dell 180w which was sold with the device and reportedly "worked fine for them".
Specs: I7-10750H, RTX 2060, 32GB RAM (unknown manufacturer)...
