Bolva s50u18

[Helikvar]

Got this on the curb and tv works but backlights won't turn on.Problem is burnt out leds in backlight strips .I want to replace them but can't get screen out from housing.There is no front frame to hold screen in and it appears to be fastened with some sort of adhesive.Has anyone run into this before and if so are these screens removable.

Re: Bolva s50u18

I got about 10 in. of the lcd separated then as I expected it began to crack.I had to use a fair amount of heat ,pressure just to get the lcd to begin to separate.I then also added some pure alcohol in small amounts which seemed to help a bit.
But right now it looks like game over on this pathetic Bolva which is obviously anti-consumer ,anti-repair and a total waste of resources as everyone of these will go directly to a landfill first time an led burns out.Even refurbishing the logic boards wouldn't be feasible. This tv is just like the one shot through away cameras.I am only referring to this particular model and the others appear to be different.
