Lol I took a 20 dollar TV monitor with 1080 from a pawn shop in SC, and it was from like 2008-2010

Recently found a Vizio E470i-A0 smart TV next to a dumpster, seeing that it supported 120hz (because why not?) I immediately took it inside Discovered that one of the capacitors was too close to a heatsink so it eventually exploded from persistent heat Ordered a replacement power board through eBay and I should have it repaired by the third of February . . . I kinda forgot to discharge the capacitor but I'm still alive!

AWESOME JOB AGAIN!

A time ago my grandma gained a LCD tv, it was already on a repair shop of the brand (I think it was LG repair shop) and they wasn't able to repair, I turned it on and it was crazy on the digital tv and all the inputs weren't working, so with my zero skill tv repair I open it, take a look, and because it was changing channels randomly I looked first at the buttons board and found a little bit of a liquid, it looked like leaked capacitor, but there are no capacitors around so I grabbed a piece of toilet paper, cleaned it, and put all together, and done. It worked normally, all the inputs started to work normally too and stoped randomly changing channels It was my first LCD tv I opened, and I still don't know how a tv repair shop of their own brand wasn't able to repair this tv ,-,

That's a nice tv, it even has a DVD or CD player, it definitely worth saving.

I want to say one thing to a viewer who is thinking about this sort of repair, do NOT even try to discharge high-voltage capacitors via shorting them out. If you know that the capacitor stores low voltage inside or is rated for low voltage and you have measured it (carefully) then go ahead. There is risk of melting the screwdriver's tip to capacitors legs, burning traces on PCB or in case of heavy spark it can ricochet bits of solder off the board in your general direction. Good ways to discharge capacitor is to use big resistor or incandescent bulb Keep it safe

Hey Hugh! Unrelated question to the video (good video btw, tried doing something similar on my nice vizio 4k but couldn't find a PSU lol), I've got a 6S that when I plug in a (cheap) battery to it, reads as 100mah in CocoBat and has some bootloop issues etc. Any suggestions?

Hi, I was going to ask for some help for my iPad mini 3, the battery doesn't last that long and charges really slow so I was gonna ask what I should do (I came from your video of the iPad mini 2 one)

Hi i work at a place that mostly works on computers and consoles but we do do tv's as well,one of the biggest problems with repairing tv's is if its worth fixing compared to a new one. For example if your little kid throws something at the TV its basically trash now because the screen it self is a pain and expensive to ship and it cost more than just trying to buy the screen. So we do not repair screens eve, what we do if its a really small tv like this one its not worth fixing over where we are at .So we only fix mid to big TV's and at that,all we can do is fix the power supply or a board if thats a problem for the most part thats really thats all that is worth fixing. One big thing other than that is actually being able to get the part you need.Some times there are straight up no parts because most of the time they are pulled off of tv's with broken screens and put on eBay or the same model number or number on the board,has different boards with the same model number and it is important to get the specific board or most times it will not work it can be a pain in the butt at times . It sure doesn't help that now companies are making it more to throw away and buy new than repair able its just plain bad for the environment.Its just more money for the customer to need's to spend. Companies just want you to buy more so they can get more money.

I've got an LG TV, and it was a very basic model and i bought it about 10 years ago. It was meant for my new house I'm moving in, but ended up in the attic for 3 years before finally moving. Still works great today. I think today's budget TV is just poorly built.

i am so glad that i live in norway and that no matter how cheap electronics are and how fast they fail all electronics have a legal warranty of 5 years here, and if they fail i am entiteled to get it fixed, replaced or a full refund on my original purchase. so even if I get a $100 tv it legally has to last more than "1 year!

Back in the 70's and 80's Rank-Arena used to be a fairly big name in consumer electronics here, they were a subsidiary of the British Rank Corporation. They made mainly things such as TVs and stereos. In the 80's they got bought out by NEC, and after a while Woolworths ended up licensing the name (along with JVC, Polaroid, AWA and a few others) to sell on cheap TVs in their stores.

So that too explains the cheap AWA products I saw in a Big W while on holiday a while back! I imagine the former were originally like the Australian equivalent of RCA. Edit: Also reminded me of "Soniq" from JB Hi-fi and such a TV was installed in the guest bedroom of the house I stayed in; the UI made me think it was based on Skyworth hardware, since they not only produce TVs, but offer white label TV services to other brands, including Singapore's Prism+ (the Prism+ Q (non QE) series is based on the Skyworth UB7500 series from what I could tell).

I had found a 46 inch westinghouse flat screen that was out on the curb for trash Christmas day since they had gotten a new TV to replace it as evidenced by a box to a new TV next to it. I figured it was worth taking it and seeing if it worked, it had no stand or power supply so I used a laptop charger that fit the TV, and it actually is fully functional! The only issue with it was the there was a shadowy spot near the bottom center of the screen from the film wrinkling underneath, but I fastened it to my dresser, and since then after 5 years it is still working to this day

Next up: My wife blew up, can I fix her

Hugh saving that money!

Now as you have a replacement power supply, you can measure the good components on it and know what to order to fix the other.

It's you! Of course you can fix it!

In more modern TVs with LED/OLED display, if the screen is damaged (e.g. physically cracked LCD or panel) the replacement is quiet expensive and often costs more then buying a new one.

Older tv’s have also alot of older connections which can be useful with older equipment. Good video again Hugh. Ps. Don’t they recycle in Australia? Because you said landfill.

Here you can buy some of the boards and controllers, for the most common types of TV. There is a repair market for them because they are not that cheap. With power supplies good luck finding the controller chip, almost no references nor datasheet. Some of them are made why an unkonwn companies. Never repaired a TV PSU, but done a good amount of laptop chargers, and they are not very different at this section. Usually the mosfet shorts, current sensing resistor blow (opens), then high voltage is let into the current sense pin of the chip blowing it. Kinda of chain reaction that require many componentes to replace, even the diode bridge probably gone short and the round fuse is gone. After all this list of components, 90 dollars for a working PSU is a good approach.
