    The Sad Story: Sonic was helping Chris with the TV when speakers visited to instruct Chris. 1 lady from the circuit board went on-&-on. "Pan her, Sonic" said Chris. "I'll take it up with the Control Board because Strip's bored too." "Is Power bored?" asked Sonic. "Yes" said Chris. Overall, it was quite an earthing experience with flashing lights going off everywhere. The supper also caused problems as some were drawing too many currents & so a fews did leave. "Don't worry" said Chris, "We'll reassemble!"

    Wonderful video ! Thank you very much, you saved me a lot of money. I actually also had a sticky white plastic, which was a pitty. But at the end I have a brand new TV. I just hope that it stays alive for many years now 🤞🏼

    Good work, I like how you stressed the importance to care not to crack the screen. It took me three years to find a replacement screen for my all in one Dell 2020 One PC. That was given to me with a cracked screen and it only cost me $85.00 for a whole parts PC. I got a good screen, a better WiFi / Bluetooth card & more ram. I have a 52" Samsung LCD that backlight went out. I opened it up and saw the driver board had visual signs of being burned up. All fuses were good but no power went out to the backlights. I looked online for a replacement and found 46" all day long for $35.00 but only 1 for my 52" @ $118.00. I installed it and it works perfectly. I had paid over $1,200.00 for the TV originally so it was a good deal to me. I have it plugged into a smart power strip so no power is used until I tell Alexa to turn it on. It is an older model and only gets internet via my Samsung 1,000 watt Blu-ray home theater's Anynet HDMI connection.

    A very nice fix! How bright the backlight is set to, depends a lot on how bright the room you're watching it is, or if you can close some shades etc. As an HDR convert, if the TV showing the sun doesn't cause your eyes to screw up a little bit, then you're not getting the full benefit of HDR. But that's just my 2p...

    The patient survived a delicate surgery. Maybe you missed your calling. Interesting to see those rows of led lights and learn that's why new TVs are so thin.

    I just observed that the LED/ smart TV is much more sensitive and easily damaged(not working)than the older version TV's (TV's w/big hump backs)... The older version TV of ours lasted for 15-20yrs...but the new version, we could only use it for 1yr-4yrs.....
