    Replacing LCD Module

    Hi!

    Has anyone replaced an LCD Module? I am not talking about the entire panel, just the module. I wanted to keep the external frame, polarizing film, optical film, light guide path, backlighting, etc, and just replace the LCD module.

    I tried searching for info on the net but only came across replacing the entire panel. I was thinking maybe I could find a source for LCD modules, hopefully with the buffers, but if not, maybe just solder them on. I believe I need special equipment for those flex cables or whatever you wanna call them. It was just a thought.

    And how is some one going to ship this "thin piece" to you successfully. Of course, all tabbing would have to be included on this "thin piece". Its like not going to happen unless you live next to the chinese factory... :-)

      And you'd need to find the exact size too! 1/8 of an inch out will lead to light bleed problems, cracking issues, etc etc...

      To build on what budwich said, I once did some pretty deep investigation into sourcing new LCD's to replace the cracked screen tv's we get through our retail connections. Even if you live right next to the factory it seems they want about 90% of the value of the TV's retail price. Just not worth it.

        I was going try and find an actual model number on the panel itself and replace it with the same one, if I could. That price is what I was worried about. There are ways to ship very delicate stuff safe like. I was hoping the price of the actual module, not the entire panel, would be fairly cheap. If it's going to cost, let's say, half the price of a new tv, I just won't do it.

        We now have a couple TVs with good boards but cracked screens. One's a 4K 43" LG, one's a 40" Samsung. It would have been nice to fix them, but I guess I could always sell the working boards.

        Thanks!

          Replacing the WiFi module on a vacuum cleaner iROBOT i7
          by AlexVG
          Hi,
          I have had an iROBOT i7 with a camera error (error 68) version REV M, year 2018.

          I bought a liquid damaged Mainboard with WiFi module, from the same vacuum cleaner, but a different year and a different version (REV G).
          (This board does not respond, only the LEDs light up in a circle.
          The liquid damage is catastrophic and restoration is impractical).
          (I bought this board to get the WiFi module and camera).

          The boards are completely different in the installation of elements, even the connector for the WiFi module is different.

          If...

          HP Omen 15-ek0013dx - Odd 4-Zone RGB Issue, Replacing Entire Keydeck Didn't Fix It
          by siccfix
          Replaced the keyboard+LED backlight+topdeck unit with a completely assembled aftermarket part a few months ago due to failing keys (Spacebar, X, R; seems to be a common issue for 2020 model). I thought this would also fix my RGB backlight issue but the problem remains, actually it got worse, so it has to be a failing part on the mobo itself. The middle RGB zone can no longer light up blue and is instead stuck on green, even if all kb backlight is turned off that zone stays lit..

          Does anyone know what part number the IC labeled UI3 is? Seems to be some kind of LED controller chip....

          repairing 360 s6 vacume cleaner robot with stuck radar
          by Matthieu vK
          Hello,

          I got my hands on a 2e hand 360 s6 vacuuming robot i wish to repair.

          Unfortunately, a common (and mine) problem is that the radar, used for navigation is not working.
          a second unfortunate thing is these problems seem to have many different causes, from dirty lens, to stuck hairs so it can't move, to broken down radar module to a faulty PWM (mosfet?).

          the issue I am dealing with is what I believe to be a faulty PWM.
          I have come to this conclusion as this seems to be an issue that others have dealt with also, but I have not found anyone...

          70mai Dash Cam A510 - help identifying connector on camera module
          by m1ch43lzm
          Hi everyone
          I have a 70mai Dash Cam A510 which failed after about 3 months of being installed in my car, likely due to heat, i got it from aliexpress so no point in trying to return it for warranty (and shipping it back would cost me almost the same as a new one from ali)
          The camera would boot loop showing 70mai logo on the screen, sometimes it would boot fine then the live view would freeze or display purple lines

          I already took it apart, and found out that the camera boots fine if i unplug the camera module from the main PCB, sometimes "playing" with the connector...

          Light that has a bug zapper in bottom section of light fixture the LED light module took a crap but the zapper still works
          by sam_sam_sam
          So I got the bright idea to remove the LED light module from the fixture and put it on top of another enclosure and keep using the zapper

          The removal of light module was a successful and now I just have to cut a hole in the enclosure and put a power cord that has an on and off switch on it

          You are lucky to get about two years of service out of one before the LED module starts flicking and just stops working because it is mounted on an aluminum plate and these are hard to solder on it and it is not worth messing around with them and especially this one because it has line...
