    UN55FH6200 Panel Replacement - A Christmas Miracle

    I had picked up a UN55FH6200 which the owner said was rebooting randomly and I assumed it was an issue with the WIDT20R wifi module. This module has known problems in the E model years. When I looked at it, it had been previously repaired and the main board was replaced with one from a UN40EH series and the wifi module on that one uses a different connector.
    It was already disconnected because of the incompatibility. The main was only secured with 2 screws so I improved the grounding using all the screw holes. Though improved, it still suffered from random reboots. Test was to leave the TV on and mute it and if it rebooted, it would unmute. Assuming there was an incompatibility issue with the main board, I ordered two different boards from two different sellers and both were worse. TV wouldn't turn on, no backlight and the front LED would flash. Ready to give up on this TV, I considering selling as is.

    This morning I came across a free UN55J6200 with a cracked screen. Scanning the board prices, the main board wasn't worth much ($15 on ebay) but the power supply board had a bit of value. Picking up the TV, I noticed it was very similar to my FH even though two years apart (large rectangular base, two piece back panel). Searching the UN55FH tcon part number on shopjimmy, the UN55J6200 was listed as a compatible TV! I swapped the panels and tcon and now have a working TV.

          Neilc6, I have a running list of panels and tcons from tvs I have come across over the years. Many tvs use the same panel. Lg is also good candidate. So when I buy or find nice tv with a cracked screen and I know that screen is compatible with other models, I just hold it until it becomes available. Sitting on about 8 now.

            Nice fix I Picked up a Samsung UE48H6400AW 3d smart tv with both remotes user manual etc from a free site, it needed a set of led strips as usual fault lens had dropped off and blue tint, a set of 12 strips from ali express £20.00 soon fixed that and now tv is in daily use in my living room.

              Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
              by reformatt
              Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

              It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

              Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
              by the_rem
              Hello guys,

              I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

              I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

              PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
              by ezenia
              Hello,

              Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

              So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

              I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

              by boosti45
              i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...

              klipsch kda-500 amplifier suitable power supply capacitor replacement ?
              by r2digital
              I have a klipsch kda-500 that would turn on and allow me to get into the web management but it was picking up a lot of noise from audio sources so i decided to replace the smd caps on the power supply along with radial one. Some one was in here before me and they basically burned the bottom side of the traces off for the radial cap but i was able to repair it without any real problem. I thought i did a good job sourcing out replacement caps but apparently not and now i can't get the power supply to turn on it just constantly try's to keep turning on. Attached is a picture of the power supply before...
