    Position of plasma TV during repair

    I was always afraid of lying the plasma screen down while doing repairwork, for the risk of breaking the screen. I have always placed the TV standing upright against a wall.
    Maybe I exaggerated the risk of screen damage. How are you working?

      I work on a rigid table. I place a bath towel over it to protect the bezel from scratches. Philips sells a pair of (roughly) 4" x 4" x 30" non-static rigid foam 'railroad ties.. These have the advantage that they hold the screen off the table so it is possible to slide a mirror under it and observe the screen.

      For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

      Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

          I have a converted rear pro tv base with three struts across the top for support,then I
          have placed the old plastic screen on top.
          This allows me to see the screen while the plasma is laying down.

              Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
              by Ryan.man
              Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

              My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

              This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

              Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light
              by Alicat
              Hello,

              Stopped by this site trying to fix my parents Panasonic Plasma TV.

              Model number is TH-50PZ85U

              Power comes on and the red power light stays on solid.

              Did a few checks like hold the power button on for 60 seconds, hold the - Volume while holding the menu button, no luck, still@ blank grey screen as the screen lights up very vague.

              I also hear a few clicks.

              I also think my parents said there was a thunderstorm and the TV failed after that.

              Section 6 in the service manual talks about power and no screen,...

              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...

              Panasonic Plasma screen interference on left half of screen
              by Zelek11
              My Panasonic Plasma model P55VT50 has started displaying "interference" on just the left half of the screen only (left when facing the screen). Sometimes it's concentrated in about the first 30 seconds after startup, then disappears. Other times it's fine at startup and then randomly does it later on. When it flashes the interference it's very quick and doesn't stay on the screen unless it flashes repeatedly in a row.



              This image is a screen shot from a video I took. This is an example of the interference at its worst. Often the interference is much smaller...

              Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
              by Chrissygizmo
              Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
              I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...
