    YT put this video on my homepage and I clicked it on the fly. I do swear I think this is the exact model of my TCL Roku TV! Mine died about a month ago. The backlight works, the sound works but the image just won't show. It's all black. I haven't been able to afford a new TV yet so I've just been sitting here all on my lonesome with no TV in a quiet house for a month. hahaha. After watching this.. I'm real tempted to crack 'er open and give it a go! Can't possibly do anymore damage than is already done. LOL. Does the tape just stay inside the device? It won't cause problems? Would electrical tape work better? 😊 Thank you for your video!!

    Give it a try. The most fragile part is the lcd screen. Keep it unplugged when you work on it. It won’t cause problems because you are preventing electricity from reaching parts of the lcd panel (theoretically the part that has the electrical problem and causing the screen to be blank). You don’t even need tape (you could cut the ribbon, for example), but scotch tape is the easiest method because you need to do some trial and error.

    Grid tie you will get pennies on unused power. The best way is to have 40/ 350 watt panels & tie into inversters & a big 30kw battery bank. Store your power to run everything at night & day👍keep what is yours & don't give away a nickel. Miroinverter isn't the answer. I know😢 But I do pull most of I can but still losing around 250 to 300 kwh back to the grid. Make sure the inverter you buy has the programming capabilities you need so your not having to do manually.👍

    ​@@FrugalRepair thanks for the kind words and all the useful information, turns out I only partially fixed it, I checked out your other video on reflowing the cpu and i think i might have to do that. After testing it and trying to find out the pins it seems the tv starts working again, causing me to think i fixed it, but this was purely because I left let the TV warm up. Watched a few hours on it yesterday(with no issues) and this morning it no longer turned on. I was thinking that letting it warm up was the cause of the fix I tried heating up the mainboard heatsink with a hair dryer and it worked a lot better than before I did that. Letting it sit overnight and i am going to try the same thing again in the morning, if that fixes it again its not a fluke. If I could have you opinion on this I'd greatly appreciate it, I uploaded a 10 second clip on my channel.

    Very nice, thanks for the explanation. When in self consumption mode, is there a way for the enphase app to show the input from the anker battery ? I am guessing it will show no input from the grid when you ac couple

  • @FrugalRepair
    @FrugalRepair2 күн бұрын

    Thanks. I’m not sure I understand. I don’t understand why the micro-inverters would take an AC input. They need to detect the grid voltage for UL1741. If your solar point of connection is in the panel (backfeeding a breaker) then you should be able to connect the Anker CT sensor to monitor solar output. Hopefully it would match what the emphases app says is the output. Did that answer your question?

  • @lys1805

    @@FrugalRepair almost. The installer came said that apart from the CTs, the micros need some power as well. I know that I ll be able to monitor, solar, grid and battery from the Anker app. But when the F3800 try to offset the house load there wont be anything coming from the grid. Hence the enphase app would show no grid consumption (which is true). I was wondering if there is a way for the enphase combiner box to take input from -any- battery maybe through another CT so that it shows all 3: grid, solar, battery. Thanks!

  • @FrugalRepair
    @FrugalRepair2 күн бұрын

    If the output of your combiner box is being backfed through the breaker then when the HPP+F3800 is backfeeding power to the main panel, the enphase micro-inverters will think that is the grid. I don't have enphase so I don't know if they offer other sensor monitoring options than what they have inside the micro-inverters themselves. If you have any more HPP or solar related questions post them as new comments (it's easier for me to notice new comments than replies - which I might miss).

    I recently ordered the new Delta Pro Ultra from EcoFlow, but I'm having a frustrating issue. They sent me the inverter but not the battery, and to make matters worse, they charged me for the full unit. When I emailed them to ask about the missing battery, they informed me that the batteries for this unit are out of stock and won't be available until mid-July. However, when I called their customer service number, I was told the batteries would be in stock in early July. These conflicting dates keep me stuck with a Delta Pro Ultra and no battery indefinitely. Adding to my frustration, their website still allows people to order the kits and the batteries as if they're readily available.

    Sorry if I did not explain that well enough. This is a way to compare costs with other full battery systems like a Tesla Powerwall. So you add up the cost of the whole system and divide by the amount of storage (watt-hours). The $.47/wh I mentioned is after the 30% fed credit. My estimate is for all of the equipment that I had in the video (15.36KwH) but does not include labor. Let me know if you have any more questions.

    It should work just fine. Where is your solar point of connection? If you are backfeeding through a breaker(s) it should be easier to get the current sensor (CT) on the one 120v leg. If you are like me, with a line side tap, it may be a little more of a challenge getting the CT on one of those wires because of where they are located.

    With only one cable going in to the lcd panel, you may not have redundant row signals to block. Or at least not easily. There may be row signals being sent from each side of the panel but my guess is to block one side you may need to physically cut into the driver board then solder back the lines you don't want to block.
