I think the coefficient of thermal expansion is different between the chip that gets hot, and the board it's soldered to. This slight difference in thermal expansion causes a stress fracture over time in the relatively weaker solder that bonds the two components together.

In the repair world it would be considered a bandaid. Reflowing got a bad rap because people would do the same on GPUs for computers and call it fixed. But the problem with GPUs were mostly bad chips. There isn't any real way of knowing if the chip itself is bad or if it's potentially cracked joints underneath from warping. So the safest options is usually just replace the chip or the entire board.

I've repaired TVs by switching out diodes that were obviously bad swollen and I've rewet solder connections on boards, but I have a question about my newest curb TV that said " works but no remote" Well, that wasn't true, at least the part about "works" anyway. So I wiped it off and plugged it in, looking for the standby ready light which did light up. Next I tried to find the control buttons on the outside of it which to my amazement, there were none except for a large power button underneath the standby light. So I pushed it and for a split second the screen had a flash of light go across it and that was it, after that the standby light started blinking. I'm sure this all means something, but I don't know what. Can I get some ideas from you? I look at it as a challenge to fix if it's fixable 🤔

Great to hear you are fixing things! For that TV it could be a bunch of things. My first thought is the led backlight shorting out.

@vgamesx1

I call it planned obsolesce, if you want passive cooling then all you need is more surface area, thus a larger heat sink, but they want to make it as thin and light as possible, they're probably saving a buck where a little metal would make it last 5+ years longer, plus it's not as if silent or near silent fans don't exist, we use them all the time on laptops, a laptop fan just running at idle would make more than enough of a breeze to make it last longer.

That could be anything, really. If the noise is coming from the speakers, it’s likely a problem on the main board. But if not, sometimes you can get close enough with your ear to hear which board has the buzzing part on it.

A lot of failed visios like these have this problem. One way to help these sets last longer is to turn off the quick start mode so it takes longer to start but the board doest stay hot its whole life, and save electricity innthe process.

Well I can use a hair dryer and heat up the chip and then hold it down to make it fully connected that's the free fix and then it will turn on

Can I get appointment in message you to ask the remedies

My 65 inch TCL stopped working while i was watching it. The screen is black but i can hear audio and when i turn it on the screen fashes on for a second then goes black and when i shine a light on it i can see image. Should i risk buying the replacement boards? I just dont want to apend that money and be out even more and it not be fixed.. already out 500 dollars on a tv thats 13 months old

Your LED backlight is the problem. You can replace all of the LED strips or try to fix the individual bad LEDs. If you do this, the hardest part is making sure not to crack the lcd screen and keeping the lens and diffusion films as dust free as possible (and in the right order when putting it back together).

I got a 55 inch Vizio 3D TV I had a problem with the speaker he came and changed the speaker but when he changed it he picked it up the TV up and moved it without the back being on and now I have colors going everywhere. It was working great all he was to do was to change the speaker could it be he ruined the set maybe the screen got twisted from picking it up and moving it without the back on

Try reseating the cables to the lcd. Hopefully he didn’t mess it up

You can put it in the oven.Just cover the surrounding areas with tin foil.

You run the risk of melting the plastic parts though

For reheating the processor it will probably last for a month. With an added fan probably 6months. Its better to buy a new board.

This reminds me of fixing my Xbox 360 by wrapping a towel around it and letting it run. Same issue lol.

My TCL Roku TV 65 inch model 65S421 only 2 years old and it has a black screen, but I can if a shine a flashlight on it I can see an image and which says Recovery mode, I followed the prompts and had it updated, but it seems to just go back to Recovery mode. I know it has a backlight problem also. I have tried everything on KZread and nothing is working. Pleases help. I have fixed many things, computers, car parts, etc and refuse to give up.

Sorry, I don’t know exactly. There may be a service menu you can gain access to. Worst case you can replace the main board or maybe replace firmware chip. And then you can fix the backlight.

Always thought it was cheaper to buy a new one then fix
