I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm crying here. Especially when he said "Fell at the final hurdle" What are you doing carrying a screen around whilst jumping hurdles?

I spent 3 hours taking mine apart and fixing it, then I cracked the lcd when I went to put it back together…I feel your pain

Hey man, what I saw was a guy doing his best fix a tv. That's the important part, you did fix it. Job well done

Was hurting for you so much fella , good punch in fairness x

Phil, I’m sorry that it happened to you, I can feel your pain mate 😭

Sorry it ended in a fail. Next time set up two wallpaper tables so you can easily move the glass around very minimally.

some you win and some you lose, you've learned from the process and taught others on the journey

(at less than a minute) How you gonna fix a TV without your kittens? We all know the kittens are the real repair people!

And children....this is why you don't drink Stella Artois 😂

And the new TCL light Weight Champion by 12th round KO is TheCod3r. What a knockout punch to seal the victory!

It’s part of the learning process. Video was good though and it was worthwhile to figure out that a broken wire was the culprit.

So sorry that happened Phil that sux. In hindsight you punching it at the end made my day!

Had a similar experience, all screen moving OK then fell at final hurdle when an lCD connetor de-bonded as I went to connect it. Repair worked perfectly apaart from dead section!

My heart sank for you on that one Phil ! 😭

I think I sat here with my hands in my head for a good few minutes, I feel your pain and frustration bud!! Especially getting that far in and then it all fkin up. Next time will be better!

make a ceiling light out of it LOL

D*mn man was rooting for you.Sorry to see it end that way. It's okay though,it was a good video and I learned a little about how the tv functions.Kinda cool. Wishing you best of luck on your next tv. 👍🏼 👍🏼

Sorry that happened! One thing, no glue needed, it just holds.

Mate I totally feel your pain. I once did this same job and when I went to put the bezel on the panel was sitting up on an edge by 1MM and it cracked in the corner. Super painful.

28:12 BRUTALLITY!!!!!

From one tech to another, i feel your pain mate 😭😭😭

28:12 had to watch this a few times :D

Moral of the story, when handling such large screens, get another person to help you.

Next time use larger suction cups. I had a set that size and said "no way" so I got a larger set at Lowe's. They don't support the weight of that large of a piece (the ones you had). I feel for you, Phil that sux :(

Love all your vids ...thanks

I feel your pain, I had the same when replacing backlights. The screen was on the ground due to lack of space. Accidentally stepped on the edge of the screen. Backlight repaired, but screen broken. That just hurt for a while haha.

Great punch, dude xDDDD

You don't realise how hard them screens are untill you hit them.

My heart sank when you dropped it. Mate...

Hello, I am a TV repair technician for 15 years when you change the screen you have to put a large cardboard and put the screen on top of it as a tray, and so there is no risk of anything, since I saw it, I asked myself how brave you are but yes to Sometimes it happens to me it happens many times but with the cardboard down there are no problems.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i know its horrible feeling when it happens but when you see it happening to someone else you cant help but laugh 😂🤣😂🤣 right at the final hurdle . Think i would have punched it as well 😂

😂 at least you posted it

well, atleast you can still make your money back selling the power supply, t-con, and main board. 🤣that ending when you punched the screen, made me laugh so hard dude. 😂

It is so hard to get a Picture of a Screen where the Backlight has died, Think I uploaded a Video to my channel recently, I got a TV Repair Company to replace my Backlight as I just don’t have the room to attempt a repair & my TV’s only a 55”, They did a good job & charged me a fair price so I can’t argue! 🙂

join the club, been there, done that. You're not alone...

such a sad ending mate😭

I really did feel your pain mate! It was going so well I could have cried myself when it broke 😂, these things happen mate what can we do 🤷‍♂️🤷

I fixed my tv the other day lg one with a couple of lenses fell of the tv LEDs ect which is a common fault on LG TV's always lay the tv screen down on a soft towel and lift the back of the tv then theres no need for suction cups and no strain on the extremely fragile screen plus you lessen the chance of damage to the ribbons !

when i took apart a small tv to fix the DVD player i once broke the screen cable. Luckily it was a free tv for me.

On the plus side. You have a massive new panel light 😂

Speechless

Don't worry about it buddy s*** happens still really like the episode😮

Shining a torch close to the screen will reveal if the lcd is working. Surprised by the severed wire though. I would suspect that was faulty in manufacture. When I changed the LEDs in a friends TV, I too was very nervous so watched your video with trepidation. 😅 So sorry...

Oh Phil 😢

LOL i could see that coming ...just a matter of time that was

This happens so easily to break it. When i do that kind of work i put it face down on a blanket on the bed. So you don't have to worry about the screen at all. And the lines come from this small "ribbon cables" that are conecting the screen to the T-Con board. They`re super fragile and are just glued on, so the come off very easily. When i'm working on them i mostly put some tape over them to support them so they don't come off. These things weren't meant to be repaired at all.

I'd go back for it bud. See if it's still there? The chances are if the screen is good you'll be able to fix it really cheap 😄

I thought it was a windup till you bought it back to the table broken! Is there no way to remove the white backlight sheet stuff without cutting it?

Ah that's unfortunate. I like how you make videos about different items and still even post the failures. Do you still have those diffuser sheets? I have a Sony Bravia that had water damage that I repaired everything but the stained BEF, and have been looking for months on where I could find a suitable replacement.

I do still have the diffusers yeah. If you pay postage you're welcome to them. I also have some more from another 65inch which I'll be pulling out on Saturday (broken screen off scrap). I have no use for them and don't really fancy storing them for resale so I'm happy to send them to you if you can make use of them. Just drop me a message on the store and I'll get a postage quote for you www.consolefix.shop

Sorry mate. Appreciate you still decided to post the video. Even the great Cod3r is human!

Hi phil i have been fixing lcd/plasma sets as a hobby for a few years now these new tapped in screens are one of the worse to do when re assembling i use 3M VHB HEAVY DUTY DOUBLE SIDED FOAM ADHESIVE STRONG STICKY TAPE and for the led strips Thermal Conductive Tape Double Sided, removing a panel of that size is hard and damaging the tab bonds is so easy just one of those i guess you can sell the led strips and boards so you can atleast get some cash back,

Sorry for this fail Phil so close yet so far and if it wasn't for the slip it would've been another quality fix. Can i tempt you with another TV repair i have in my possession 55" Panasonic 3d LCD that powers on has a picture for approx 3-5 mins and then goes dark?

I have a lg 49 inch TV I have had it for about 6 years the backlight went on it 6 months ago on say 15 percent of the screen it's very annoying all I do is play games But it's still just about watchable well at night more than anything I spoke to a repair man a while ago and it's probably gonna cost 150 quid I don't have 150 quid eventually I'm probably going to have to try and fix it myself But thank you very much for your video Because you have shown me what not to do but anyway I hope your ok and even tho you messed it up at the end of the video you will learn from it

Scared ya 😂😂

My TCL backlight went out and I was thinking about repairing it but I think I'll just get rid of it. TCL TVs are junk and their cheap proce reflects that. I went back to an older non-smart LG TV.

Mate just keep hold of everything, backlight displays will fail on these TCL TVs and a new LCD will come along soon enough, I was thinking them suction cups ain’t gonna be big enough as they are more iPad screen cups, but great repair until the sudden breakage 👌

Man I feel your pain

Wow Phil. Gravity always wins. lad. I think your response was proper and it's learned it's lesson. Keep the parts of that one. I've got two 52" TCLs on the wall in front of me so they are fairly common.

The Punch was well called for n i can't lie id of gone full mma on it

The Cod3r and TVs just don't match 🤣

Sorry but I was waiting for the crashing sound as it fell to the ground ,I had to laugh

Quand ces des très grand tv il faut toujours travailler avec deux tables pour faire glisser le LCD au lieux de soulever l'écran pour éviter la casse 😮

When I saw the title of this video, I thought you had some video of another repairer - not you! I feel for you mate. Those panels are a nightmare to handle, especially the large ones. I would surely have punched it like you did!! Peace and love.

I never used those suction cups on any panels because you are technically flexible on the screen

Oh god. Im close to attempting to fix a 75 inch i got for free. Prey for me.

I don't think I've watched one of your videos where you've actually fixed a TV properly yet. It was at about this time that he realized he'd chosen the wrong career path 😮

oh ive been there so many times :D :D never related to a screen punch so much

This whole process made me cringe. I'm not a pro tv repair tech but I have done quite a few backlight repairs as well as tcon boards, main boards, power boards, etc. So many things were done incorrectly here. From the white reflective panel you cut to how you separated the lcd panel from the frame, how you had the tv upright instead of laying down, not securing the backlights properly, yikes.

so sorry brother same thing happened to me also

I was so hopping that to be a joke, sad it ended up that way :(

I dont wamt to break this now then the next part makes a noise I was like that dont sound good nice attempt but tvs arnt worth fixing its so easy to bust the screen was going to attempt this om a Panasonic tv but not going to bother now

don't know what solder wire you are using but 400 degrees celsius is bit overkill for that little wire you are soldering , plus flux in that wire gets evaporated very fast and makes solder worse. I assume you are using leaded solder wire which melts around 170 degrees so 240 to 270 would be more reasonable to use ...

I feel for you mate. Having broken one myself I know how it feels. I really wish that manufacturers would make the LED's accessible from the rear, it would not take to much to make the metal back plate in two parts - the part with the led's, and the frame. Then you could simply remove a few short screws and remove the plate holding the led's without disturbing the screen at all. Might make the manufacturing process a couple of quid more expensive, but it would mean that tv's could easily be serviced. So many tv's get chucked simply because an led or two had failed. Just a typical example of things being designed not to be serviced.

100%. They just don’t want them to be serviced. It’s infuriating, really.

28:12 - Best bit.

If I hadn't just watched that, I really wouldn't have believed it. That 'Scared Ya' comment is playing over and over in my head. I've never actually seen it done that way - I would want that to be cushioned and safe and then lif3ted everything up and away from it. Too late for that now. Are the boards worth anything? Don't suppose so, really. I image that you might get about half of your money back. Lesson learned. Respect, though - some might have not bothered uploading and claimed that someone made you an offer for it, as is.

Don’t lift the panel… lift the rear… told you twice 😱😱😱

@@cheapasstech this 85" hisense that I did, did have a bezel. I separated the screen from the bezel kind of like phil did and I had to use some double sided tape that was extremely thin and narrow. Should have popped the bezel off with the lcd panel makes it so much easier than having to scrape all the factory doubled sided tape off the bezel and the lcd panel, apply new double sided tape and align the lcd to the bezel while you cant see the face since its upside down. That's how I know phil did it wrong from the very start lol. The tcl is built the same way as the hisense and onn brands. He also could have used a putty knife to pop the backlight strips off the back as to not break them. That always works for me. The new backlight strips should have had adhesive on the back already and it looks like phils did have black spots of adheasive so not sure why he was saying he had to figure out how to secure them down. Not sure what an insulation board would do to help vs a blanket unless youre talking about popping the bezel with the lcd attached to it, face up, putting the insulation board on top of it and then flipping the whole tv over and pulling the frame off that way.

2 lines I would never worry about. My whole screen is gone because it is a freakin PLASMA.

Ah 😢❤

160 us dollars for a broken 65" is crazy expensive. They are like $10 or free a lot of times on marketplace of cl.

don't beat yourself up over it. it happen to the best of us and it was an accident so blame gravity

Don’t want to damage this now 2 seconds later it’s damaged. 😂

Worst things to repair are tv displays, I've had major fruitions repairing mine, in your case it was bad luck.

😢No way😥

I think you jinxed it on 10:03

i have done it too and same size ///soz bro

I'm not a power supply expert either so don't listen to me either 😁. I just power on the device, if it turns on, and while it is on I unplug it! drooping voltage never hurt any device I fixed and power supply always are discharged

Some repair shop must have carelessly cut the wire with a box cutter.

What you could do. Is have some sort of clear table. So you dont have to flip the screen. I rather have a crummy camera angle than a broken screen.

9:59 Yes you scare me!! 😂😂

During the entire video I was thinking that maybe when it's big screens you're repairing, you could just leave the panel flat on the table and then lift the shell instead of the panel. That's precisely why I don't trust suction grips.

It’s just one of those things where you know better, and still… You know the space is too small to handle the tv screen properly, but still.. You know the suction cups is not a good idea and the risk of one letting go, but still.. You know you should have 2 persons to handle the lcd panel, but still.. We all have done this, and sometimes you get away with it, sometimes you don’t. I just broke a 2000 euro marble table, transporting it laying flat, I knew I should have put it on it’s side, but still.. so I feel your pain, we know better… 🤷
