    "Toshiba" 40L1333B and others...

    Just wanted to share my experiences of late & thank the members of this forum for sharing theirs too. It's been a great help repairing some kerbside sets recently.

    So, with household waste sites being closed for the forseeable I've noticed on my shopping and excercise trips a spike in the number of TV's being left kerbside & (disinfectant spray in hand, obviously!) I've been taking advantage and grabbing some free entertainment while on lockdown.

    First set was a c.2005 Bush branded 32" LCD a few weeks ago, this had a failed bootstrap cap but sadly being out in the rain appears to have damaged the panel (have stripped and dried/cleaned with IPA but there's a delaminating plastic coating on the reverse of the actual LCD which is visible on darker scenes so that's likely a spares set.)

    Second one is IIRC a 36" Hitachi branded one which has a royally failed CCFL driver board. So far replaced 2 FETs, an 11v Zener & a fuse, all tubes now light briefly but still goes into protection or something similar... (it was the same initially before the shorted FETs and Zener repair, except only the bottom half lit then). Unsure if that one is going to be repaired, there's a tiny 1:1 isolating/coupling transformer that's gone open too now but it's dared to challenge me so I'll likely try again soon!

    Next on the roadside was a Cello 48" Vestel jobbie from 2015, that turned out to be panelled though so it's been stripped for spares.

    Yesterday I found another lovely Vestel, Toshiba branded 40" that had the full house of corrupt firmware to begin with, then (following the excellent advice from other threads on here) after reflashing (haven't done the cap delete yet, will see if it holds up first!) it powered up but no backlight. Spent this afternoon bridging all the sloppy push connectors in that to be greeted with a backlight that worked "after a fashion" but had around 12 dead or flickery LED's on all but the bottom strip. Cello to the rescue then, and I've bodged it up by cutting down the larger strips to the appropriate number of LEDs & stuck them in with double-sided tape, soldered to points where i removed solder mask. Having recently heard a few horror stories about Vestel/Toshiba panels being easy to break when reassembling I was super careful putting the thing together & it's now in the front room having been run for a while earlier and looking very nice.

    Tomorrow's project will be a little smaller, a 2005 LG think it's about 22" more aimed as a monitor i think but with a tuner and scart/HDMI ports too, not done anything other than disinfect and sit it in the porch to dry, I'm fearful that the panel may be FUBAR'd on that due to rain too though. We'll see!

    Anyway I'll sign off now as it's a long old post, but just thought I'd share my "lockdown treasures" with you lol

      Cheers, Haha well if they're kerbside they're fair game, but judging by the dirt and rain splashes I'm on my own locally! Someone's got to keep the streets tidy and reduce landfill so might as well be us. Does it irk you as much as it does me though, that people wall mount TV's and throw away the stand? That and they always either keep or bin the remote rather than leave it with the set for anyone that might want to fix it! I mean, beggars can't be choosers and all that but it'd be nice to have these things. (power cords I can understand, they always have another use!)

      OK just had a look over the LG, it's an RZ-20LA70 from '05 and doesn't have HDMI as I first thought, and that looks to be the only reason it was kicked out of it's home as on first inspection it all seems to work & has sat playing for half an hour without issue... Panel has survived it's shower too, so a decent little gaming set/computer monitor possibly.

      Rather disappointed to be honest, thought I might at least have something to fix! Guess it's back to the CCFL driver then and working out what to do with that open transformer.

          Yh that annoys me too. these people must have a drawer full of useless remotes and lofts full of tv stands, lol.

          Get yourself an ad up on germtree. (Wanted broken / unwanted tv's) you'd be surprised what you get given, just watch out for the odd joker that wants money for their smashed/cracked screen tv, unbelievable. I mean. seriously. We can all get them on ebay for 99p hehe.
          They come in few and far but keeps me busy and its good fun fixing em!

            That's one of the reasons I don't advertise for them, not really a "people person" (quite the opposite!) so rather just grab them kerbside than deal with humans... Especially when there's people who want money for panelled sets like we'll be getting the superglue out and squishing the liquid crystal back in with a pipette "well it's a 50" & it wasn't cheap.... " (excuse me, you mean it WAS a 50", it's now a pile of dubiously useful parts held together by a few screws.)

            My main hobby/pocket money pre-corona was vintage electronics from the local auction bidding online.

            Pick stuff up for a fiver/tenner or so, fix, service & enjoy it for a while and then if/when it stops getting the use it deserves or SWMBO gets fed up of it being "in the way" it goes on the bay of evil for usually a tidy profit that funds the components to repair the next few things if they're not already in the stash. Hopefully when things return closer to normality the auctioneers will still be about, that was really enjoyable.
