What can I use to clean the vertical ribbon cables on a plasma? I recall being told not to use alcohol.
Thanks

Re: Cleaning Question
I have seen some youtube videos where they use a pencil eraser to do it. -
Re: Cleaning Question
In most cases there is no need to clean them, they are usually gold plated. What problem are you having.
If you have a black line going from one side to another on the screen, try reseating the cable in that area. if that does'nt help, check the buffer ic in that area for a short.
If you remove the ultra thin gold plating, then you could have problems.Last edited by R_J; 02-28-2020, 01:15 PM.Comment

Re: Cleaning Question
Yep, use 91 percent alcohol, I've used 50 percent quite often but it's not really recommended, 91 is pretty common, I see it at the grocery store.Last edited by nomoresonys; 02-28-2020, 07:15 PM.Comment

Hello All,
I wanted to check with the board before I do anything foolish and/or irreversible. Can someone please set me straight on the use of isopropyl alcohol to clean electronics? I understand it is commonly used to clean electrical contacts. However, in this case, I am wondering if I can safely immerse a small electronic item in alcohol provided a) all power has been removed and b) I take care to dry it thoroughly before re-applying power.
The short version is that I am seeking to clean an older used (well-used) electronic item. The basic plan is to immerse it in... -
Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.
The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.
Original T-con:
Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.
First replacement T-con:
I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)... -
Hi,
I'm trying to resurrect a LG OLED C1 TV that has some panel banding. I used the TCON error bypass to get a picture. I was able to update the firmware as well. But when I performed a pixel cleaning to try to get the banding out, it made the image significantly worse. I tried to undo the effects of the pixel cleaning by performing a factory reset and IN_Stop, but that didn't work. Any way to reset pixel cleaning data?... -
Hey,
So I have horizontal lines on my TV and I'm trying to trouble shoot. My question about the ribbon is:
When I disconnect one ribbon from the t-con I should get half picture working and other half black or something like that correct? But when I disconnect the ribbon on one side I just get a dark screen and it doesn't matter what side I disconnect. I just get the dark screen. No half working, no one half black and the other one left. Sound is playing from the TV so it's obviously on and when both sides are connected I have the picture with the horizontal lines... -
Hello everyone,
I've got this macbook air 2017 A1466 which initially was working good exept for the wifi adapter not being detected by the OS.
After inspecting the board, I discovered some traces of liquid damage around the area of R3558, R3559, R3554 and the pin 1,2,3,4 of U3540 slightly dull.
I cleaned the area with alcohol, took some measurements on the resistors and in the process i accidentally knocked off R3554.
Also the test pads in those area and other resistor were a bit corroded.
By cleaning the corrosion, some of the board mask went...
