I think the plastic parts on my motherboard got melted after 5 minutes because I put it in a small/portable oven and the heating element was too close to the motherboard. However, in a large oven, the heating element is far enough to keep the board inside the oven for about 10 min. to properly heat the solder to reestablish the connection between components.
@jjeremy350 You are probably right, foil may have saved the plastic from melting, but would've also lost the view of what's going on there... I was watching like a Hawk the whole prosses of melting LOL.
Ok, I figured all the comments about this working were from this guy's friends. But in fact, with nothing to lose, I tried this. First I went with the hairdryer shortcut that one user posted, with no luck. So I followed his directions and baked the motherboard for 10 min at 350 F (about 5 min in last few minutes of pre-heating and 5 min at full 350F). No visible melting. Voila! TV has come back to life! Thanks for the great money-saving tip and very clear instructions!
After sending my tv to a "professional" spending hundreds of dollars my tv has been sitting for years and I decided to try this befor trashing it. Actually works now , thank you so much!
Okay thank you for the video, and thank you for the effort. And the serious "it worked!" I enjoyed the funny replies from everyone too, but am going to try it.🙋🏻♀️🥂
Literally cannot believed this works!! I've just fixed 2 TVs in 2 days! I tried it first on an old VDU that had no power at all, so I baked the power motherboard and it's working fine now. I then tried it on a flat screen that had no picture or sound and, again, it's now back to normal. Superstoked! Thank you so much!!
Mate! It bloody worked. I kid you not. I was about to buy another box... but found this video! What the hell I thought. BOOM! Saved me thousands. The stories now a legend around town. You haters out there, hate... but I’m frickin stoked! Good on ya for sharing the post. Cheers from Perth WA.
I have the exact same TV with the exact same problem. I found your video and followed the directions and it worked!! Only thing, once I turn the TV off, it starts back with the same issue again. Any suggestions
This saved my LG 65 inch plasma from going in the trash today. I had nothing to lose, so I followed the video but I covered the parts that melted in the video with aluminium foil to protect them from direct heat which worked. Heated for 8 mins at 200 celsius and now working perfectly. Thanks alot.
I used a hairdryer on mine after watching this. I did it with pretty direct heat rotating around the motherboard area without removing the back of the tv. Took about 5-6 minutes and when I noticed a plastic burning smell I stopped and tested it and it worked! Thanks for the idea man!
I tried this, I smelled the burning plastic but my tv still does not work :( Do you have other tips? I’m trying to make my tv in my student house work, I don’t want to bother my housmates with a baking motherboard in their kitchen 😂
@@Jasmijn.F Hair dryers don't heat up enough to melt solder if they did they would be burning your hair when you use them. You need a hot air gun for electronics.
Hate videos like this when your genuinely looking for helpful videos . Was so invested until you said oven and was like fuk sake another wasteful video
Motherboard was a little tough so I put it on the outdoor barbecue for 20 minutes, spread some barbecue sauce and garlic. Everyone loved it. I have to admit, it did taste good. Ha
Lots of people seem to think it’s a joke, so I was very skeptical. I put the motherboard at 350 for 10-11 minutes, let it dry, put it back. Well the tv is working now!!! Thanks a lot for the tip
Wow. I was so skeptical, but I had nothing to lose... and it worked... not as stinky out of the oven as I was afraid of. I had set up a huge ventilation scheme in my kitchen (40 chain smokers could have been doing their thing and you wouldn't have noticed in the living room) but it was largely unnecessary. This TV has been in my basement for years. Super big nice monitor. Big upgrade.
I know this sounds crazy but it works. I was about to throw away a JVC 55 inch 3D tv. The tv would turn on for about 3 second, then turn off. The tv had no picture at all. Then I watched this video, and boom it worked. At first I thought it was crazy to bake the circuit board, but I'm telling you it works. Shout to the guy who posted the video. You saved my tv, and probably a couple hundred dollars from having to buy a new tv.
@@alnuman5447 Did you use the hair dryer with a defuser? Just wondering because I want to try this with one of my TV's but kind of scared to place the whole board in the oven. And you still used the same methods of foil and cardboard??
Our 9 year old LG tv had this issue and at first, I thought no way did you really put electronics in the oven. However, after watching the video and reading through a few of the comments, we decided to give it a go since the tv wasn't working anyhow, what did we have to lose? Baked it in full oven at 385 F for 7-8 minutes. Didn't smell bad at all and nothing melted, but lo and behold, it worked! Thanks so much for the video! This was genius!!!
Exactly! Before throwing the TV in the garbage, it's worth baking the board first, with nothing to lose and a success rate of about 50%. Thanks for watching.
Give this man a like and subscribe because mines just worked but instead of taking the motherboard off and putting it in the oven i just slapped a heater facing the motherboard with the back cover off and i put a shirt over it to trap in the heat and waited a few minutes and bam it worked again. Thanks man i appreciate you.
I was a little - well a lot - circumspect of this, but figured I had nothing to lose. It was not hard to get to the board and the smell was not that bad for a 10 minute bake. Reinstalled and it worked! Thank you for sharing!
I should have said that my situation was no sound and no picture - not even flashing when I turned on the TV. The power and function buttons worked as they should have, just no picture or sound.
My neighbor gave this TV to me because he knows I like to tinker with things he said there was no picture but they were sound I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it until I watched your video and it actually worked thank you
Not that difficult. The hardest part was getting the tv down from the wall arm mount. If I can do it, You can too. Besides I don't think you can get a new 55inch HD 3D LG TV for $85.
Get a new 85.00 Sceptre tv from Amazon - and use only a few hours a day - watch tv mostly on your laptop live XFINITY stream (167.00 a month) - and your tv will last 3 to 10 years. The tv will run from your XFINITY remote - not the one that came with it.
Worked for me. Our full sized oven is precise, unlike our toaster oven. 385 F for 20 minutes was correct...no melted plastic, and the TV now works. Thanks so much!
I thought this was crazy. But I had the same problem on my 10 yr old LG 47LV5500-UA but instead of putting the circuit board in an oven I put a 200 Watts incandescent bulb against the circuit board without removing it from the TV. I placed the bulb via an extension cord against the IC's on the board for about an hour and kept checking the TV. After about 4 hrs moving the bulb around to different IC's the TV started working again!! The 200 watts bulb radiates a lot of heat to do the trick without damaging the circuit board. Thanks for the tip in this video!! Saved some money!!
HOLY CRAP!!!!!! I followed your instructions but only put it in the cooker for 4 minutes. I can't believe it ----- IT WORKED. I also used a can of compressed air from the dollar store but thank you. I ended up selling my old TV for $200 bucks.
I followed the video instructions exactly. Baked at 385 degrees for 8 minutes in a full size oven. Put it back together and.....and...OMG it works!! unbelievable. Thank you. Saved me $500 from buying a new 55inch Samsung.
Well, my LG TV died again. It worked for a month or more. Then the same thing... No picture no sound. This time it was easier to take apart and bake since it wasn't my first time. I followed the instructions again exactly. 385 degrees for 10 minutes. I put foil under and on top of the motherboard. Nothing melted that I could see. But the solder did because it is again working. And the internet connection is also working now. This is through an external USB device that came with the TV.
LOL, so I guess, the first time you baked it for only 8 min, but it wasn't long enough... Glad it works again after baking for 10 minutes! My TV still going strong over 8 months now.
Put circuit board from old LG in regular oven, stunk up the house, but picture and sound work now. Even the HMDI inputs which stopped working (had to use component inputs) work now! Thanks for the video!
IT WORKED. 200°C for 10 mins. However i HIGHLY recommend putting it in for only about 5 mins. After 6 mins, the board started burning black in some areas. But it still works. Thank you!!
I looked at this after receiving a similar unit that someone had thrown out. I couldn't do the heating part as I have a gas cooker, and using that would have been disastrous! What I did instead was use a heat gun that I have in my workshop. I wafted it over the mother board for about 5 minutes and it worked! Nice one.
@@rockinraydog1 I'm not sure if I had to, as I was following the video, but I did do. I guess it made things easier and less likely to damage the rest of the device.
Using a gas stove is not good? Is that because of the cardboard? What if I wrap cardboard in foil or just use foil. What about frying pan with cardboard and foil? I have no heat gun...
I CANNOT believe this actually worked. Thank you so so much. My TV broke on christmas eve while trying to put on Die Hard. Spent most of the night fixing until I tried this in the morning and it friggin worked. Honestly so thankful, can I donate you some $$??

Saved me a grand today. My Sharp 70” went but, tried downloading firmware and nothing. Just before I went out to buy, I checked you tube again and found this after trying other suggestions. Baked the board on 380 for 5 min turned up to 385 for 3 min. So crazy, TV works great. Thank you
Thanks so much for this video! My boyfriend and I tried this last night and it worked! Unfortunately the audio never came back, but luckily I had a small Bluetooth speaker that I was able to connect my firestick to. Still very pleased!
Right first of all I'd like to thank you BIG TIME , I'm sorry but was so skeptical I laughed HOWEVER I had this TV off someone on a don't dump it donate it site, no picture but sound. So I googled all possible causes to no avail, I Swear DOWN I did what you advised and it only bloody worked . I could not believe it, 4k TV 55" saved from tip and free SERIOUSLY GENIUS and how you knew to do this is amazing. I did exactly cardboard and foil ect
I checked it with a toothpick. It came out clean so I left it to cool off on top of the recycling bin. When I went to pick it up it was gone. Thinking about utilizing the TV as a breakfast in bed tray. Thanks, Dude.
You saved me from having to buy a new TV!, i did the motherboard bake with a Toshiba 6 years old TV and it worked. I dont know how long it is going to take before it dies again, but now my wife thinks I am a genius!
Well, with nothing to lose, I tried this on my LH 55lw5600ua, and it worked! For 10 minutes. So I'm back at square 1, but I did at least learn that it's the main board that is at fault. Guess I need to find another, if I want a proper repair, but hey, this was a useful troubleshooting exercise.
Unbelievable, I thought it was a joke, but I disassembled the digihome 43 inch full hd smart TV and heated all the circuit boards behind the TV with a hair dryer and... the image reappeared (it was a black screen). Thank you very much😃
Add me to the list of those this crazy fix worked. I have an LG 55" plasma with the same symptoms as in the video. I put it in conventional oven at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes. I had my doubts but it worked. We will see how long this keeps the TV going. Thanks for the tip. FYI. I did not use foil. Only the cardboard. I kept an eye on it in case the plastic started melting.
2 SUGGESTIONS. Wear rubber sole shoes when handling boards. My wife wears stirrups at work to keep from shocking. She handles boards all day,. She also laughed that I was baking a board in the oven at home instead of a digital oven like they use at work. Other suggestion when removing the connectors to the board, don't try to pry up with your fingernail. Push down on the other end. They come off very easily
How amazing that s going to happened.i tried this.but not putting the oven instead blow the heat with a hair dryer.thank a lot for the idea.it really worked for my lcd tv which had no pictures.
Thank you for the advice and the video. I tried this with my Toshiba 55HT1U TV that was having the identical problem. This completely worked O got the picture back 💯! Although I will say I think I did not connect one of the ports that connect to 2 HDMIs correctly because they are not working although the HDMI on the side is working perfectly. Again thank you for the video!
I thought this was a joke. i also had nothing to lose like everyone else in the comments. but i used a hairdryer first before putting into an oven, blow both sides of the board. and it worked!! thanks!! It fixed my 6 years old Hisense TV
@@los_chichones_de_Penasco I pointed the hot air directly onto the motherboard. I didn't remove the back of the TV. I have a professional grade hair dryer, so it blasts really hot air. My TV is still working. Good luck.
Worked on my 2010 3D TV, the TV powered off the other day, only the button bar was lighting up, black screen. Baked the motherboard for 10 minutes exact at 400f on my toaster oven. And its works :)
Thank you very much I don't know about the theory behind but it work brielently well on my 15 years old Toshiba Regza 50 inch LCD I did some thing different, like removed the mother board and kept under strong sunlight for 15 minutes and every thing is fine now . Thanks again for the wonderful idea 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow. Reading some of these comments. I tryed it with a blow dryer on hot. Pointed towards the mother board, for like two minutes. It worked! Thanks peeps. Im convinced👍
Thank you for sharing your fix. Although my TV is a Sony I tried your method but it did not change its behavior: turns on, no video, no audio, flashes once and goes off. Can you suggest something else to try? I understand the reason for baking is to melt the solder. How about testing voltage? Thanks!
OMG 😲 you got me there for a moment when things start to melt. Unbelievable. but it works yey. Well its my turn I got a l g 📺 tv. Thanks for the video.
Thank you!! This worked flawlessly. I used a small toaster oven and set temp to 400f for 10 minutes. The reason I went up in temp was due to the fact that the toaster oven door would not shut all the way because of the size of the motherboard. Let cool for 30 min and put everything back together. I did this with an Lg 42LE5400 motherboard. Thank you again for the video!
All it is a solder broke on one of those connections, heating it in the over basically melted the solder a bit to reconnect. A better would be to find the break and solder it. That maybe tough to find because a small break isn't very visible. This will do in a pinch because seriously, you are going to throw this out and get a new one, so nothing to loose.
Thanks for your video sharing. My LG 42 LB 5823 model after 5 years used to be blank (with no picture and sound) especially during the rainy season or during high humidity period. Just 2 days before it happened again after 4 months continue work. Will this baking/warmup of motherboard help to resolve this problem? Can we use a hairdryer to blow hot air on the motherboard? will it work?
My LG 55le5400 is 9 yrs old. 5 mths ago my AV1 ports went bad both video & audio, I baked my board 385 for 10 Min. ,All worked well except for my my HDMI,No biggy but now my video AV1 went back to kaput.
I know it sounds unreal, whoever wants to bake a main board in a microwave oven, right? but it works. I found one video like this one last year, so I've tried it, I thought to myself I've had nothing to lose. so I've baked my main board in a microwave oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Amazingly it works. I've been enjoying my 3D movies since. You've got nothing to lose by trying.
Did u really honestly do this and IT WORKED? It makes some sense but then again, it sounds sooooo crazy. So please let me know if it honest to God worked for u!! If appreciate it!!
Thank you very much I don't know about the theory behind but it work brielently well on my 15 years old Toshiba Regza 50 inch LCD I did some thing different, like removed the mother board and kept under strong sunlight for 15 minutes and every thing is fine now .

What would you say the problem is a blank screen. if I unplug the tv hold power for 60 seconds then plug it in I get picture for 3 minutes than it goes black.
ok well took me an hour just to get at this board removed ,the connections were difficult to release and also there is this metallic film strip glued to one of the board components and the other end of it to the metal frame housing and i noticed more of this material in other places i think it must be some kind of thermal conduction cooling ,i hope so because i had to peel it off to get the board removed but im worried about all these plastic wire connections on the board wont they melt? i see you had to keep good eye on it and remove it before it had a melt down, how can you be sure the board position is correct when placed in oven? who knows how these solders are some in vertical position perhaps
That electric shock clip at 4:15, please show it without any effect,.. or give a link of it, Please. I have a doubt that , the Metal door handle is not connected to the ground, then WHERE and how will the electric current pass to ??
An ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) happens mostly in a cool, dry environment. If you live in a warm, humid place, you may never experience this phenomenon with a door-handle electric discharge. In a dry environment, when you move, your clothes get electrically charged up. And when you approach something metallic, the electricity wants to neutralize itself by "jumping" on it. And sometimes you can see an electric spark between your finger and the door-knob.
Amazing! It works! I used your technic (10 minutes 200 °C, with the aluminium foil), with one TV that died with black screen, without sound. Super easy and effective video. Thanks and kudos for you! :D
Brah! Thank you for the close up detail I mean I got a Sony KDL 40s5100 I'm working on but wanted to check out your video and glad I did because that video close up was worth it .. great job
I didn't want to mess with the black heat-sink because I don't have a heat-gun and the adhesive to put it back together. I'm not sure how easy it is to take that cover off... so baking the whole board was the easier decision.
I think the plastic parts on my motherboard got melted after 5 minutes because I put it in a small/portable oven and the heating element was too close to the motherboard. However, in a large oven, the heating element is far enough to keep the board inside the oven for about 10 min. to properly heat the solder to reestablish the connection between components.
YourSelf why’d you bake the mother board
To warm up and melt the solder for a better connection between components.
I did it it made it worser
You made one tiny mistake boss you should have put the foil also on top of the board as well so that way the circuit board wouldnt have melted
@jjeremy350 You are probably right, foil may have saved the plastic from melting, but would've also lost the view of what's going on there... I was watching like a Hawk the whole prosses of melting LOL.

You had me until you put it in the oven... my grandparents gon yell at me wondering what that smell
Yes, it stinks, and that's why I chose to bake it outside. LOL
😄
Well hello
Wait why did you put it in the oven what was the purpose
Did u fix ur tv ?
Cheers mate, I thought this video was definitely rubbish but why not try it and it worked, thankyou 👍
Good to hear it!
It worked! Honestly I didn't think it would, but to my surprise my TV works perfectly again!
Thanks for the tip!
Great to hear!
I followed the video instructions exactly. Baked at 385 degrees for 8 minutes in a full size oven. Put it back together and.....and...OMG it works!! unbelievable. Thank you. Saved me $500 from buying a new 55inch Samsung.
Glad to hear that it worked for you too! Thanks for watching.
@@Your-Self still working. I haven't turned it off since the repair. See update a month later
Well, my LG TV died again. It worked for a month or more. Then the same thing... No picture no sound. This time it was easier to take apart and bake since it wasn't my first time. I followed the instructions again exactly. 385 degrees for 10 minutes. I put foil under and on top of the motherboard. Nothing melted that I could see. But the solder did because it is again working. And the internet connection is also working now. This is through an external USB device that came with the TV.
LOL, so I guess, the first time you baked it for only 8 min, but it wasn't long enough... Glad it works again after baking for 10 minutes!
My TV still going strong over 8 months now.
The solder re-flow was a fix used on the xBox-360 red-circle error. A towel over the vents for a few minutes was enough.
Put circuit board from old LG in regular oven, stunk up the house, but picture and sound work now. Even the HMDI inputs which stopped working (had to use component inputs) work now! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for sharing!
I put my entire tv in the oven to save time.
lmfaooo
Haha
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
that's actually the correct way. Even better is if you can warm up the room to 200 celsius. You won't have to take the tv down. You're welcome.
IT WORKED. 200°C for 10 mins.
However i HIGHLY recommend putting it in for only about 5 mins. After 6 mins, the board started burning black in some areas. But it still works. Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing!
I looked at this after receiving a similar unit that someone had thrown out. I couldn't do the heating part as I have a gas cooker, and using that would have been disastrous! What I did instead was use a heat gun that I have in my workshop. I wafted it over the mother board for about 5 minutes and it worked! Nice one.
Good job fixing it yourself!
Did you have to remove the motherboard to heat it with a heat gun
@@rockinraydog1 I'm not sure if I had to, as I was following the video, but I did do. I guess it made things easier and less likely to damage the rest of the device.
Using a gas stove is not good? Is that because of the cardboard? What if I wrap cardboard in foil or just use foil.
What about frying pan with cardboard and foil?
I have no heat gun...
I CANNOT believe this actually worked. Thank you so so much. My TV broke on christmas eve while trying to put on Die Hard. Spent most of the night fixing until I tried this in the morning and it friggin worked. Honestly so thankful, can I donate you some $$??
Glad it worked for you too... Merry Christmas!

A few minutes with hot hairdryer through main board vent and my LG is working again. Couldn't believe it! Thanks 👍👍
Hi, have you opened cover and just kept hairdryer heating the board directly?
@@ehababumoailish6574have you tried it
Saved me a grand today. My Sharp 70” went but, tried downloading firmware and nothing. Just before I went out to buy, I checked you tube again and found this after trying other suggestions. Baked the board on 380 for 5 min turned up to 385 for 3 min. So crazy, TV works great.
Thank you
Glad to hear it, and thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this video! My boyfriend and I tried this last night and it worked! Unfortunately the audio never came back, but luckily I had a small Bluetooth speaker that I was able to connect my firestick to. Still very pleased!
Glad it helped, and thanks for watching!
Right first of all I'd like to thank you BIG TIME , I'm sorry but was so skeptical I laughed HOWEVER I had this TV off someone on a don't dump it donate it site, no picture but sound. So I googled all possible causes to no avail, I Swear DOWN I did what you advised and it only bloody worked . I could not believe it, 4k TV 55" saved from tip and free SERIOUSLY GENIUS and how you knew to do this is amazing. I did exactly cardboard and foil ect
LOL, good to hear it!
Ah shit I forgot to season my motherboard
Lol
😂
Oh ffs🤣🤣🤣
No I'm sorry mum I'll fix it I swear
🤣😂
Very shocked this worked! I thought it was a prank, but figured it was worth a shot as I had to buy a tv anyway. Lets see how long it lasts. Thanks!
LOL. This TV worked for another year before I had to bake the board again.
Good luck to you!
I checked it with a toothpick. It came out clean so I left it to cool off on top of the recycling bin. When I went to pick it up it was gone. Thinking about utilizing the TV as a breakfast in bed tray. Thanks, Dude.
You saved me from having to buy a new TV!, i did the motherboard bake with a Toshiba 6 years old TV and it worked. I dont know how long it is going to take before it dies again, but now my wife thinks I am a genius!
LOL, good job! My TV worked for another year, and than I had to bake the board again.
Wow, really worked! Was ready to give up until finding this video, many thanks. (8 min, 180 celsius)
Nice work, and thanks for watching!
Thanks
Let me too bake my tv today then ;)
Im baking rn
Well, with nothing to lose, I tried this on my LH 55lw5600ua, and it worked! For 10 minutes. So I'm back at square 1, but I did at least learn that it's the main board that is at fault. Guess I need to find another, if I want a proper repair, but hey, this was a useful troubleshooting exercise.
Thank you! Tried this I'm my gas oven, big fans going and it worked perfectly.
Great to hear it, and thanks for watching!
Unbelievable, I thought it was a joke, but I disassembled the digihome 43 inch full hd smart TV and heated all the circuit boards behind the TV with a hair dryer and... the image reappeared (it was a black screen). Thank you very much😃
Good to hear it!
Instructions not clear i thought he meant to put my grandma in the oven now she’s dead and i’m sad
LMAOOO
Cool it with the anti Semitic remarks sosa
🤣
Add me to the list of those this crazy fix worked. I have an LG 55" plasma with the same symptoms as in the video. I put it in conventional oven at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes. I had my doubts but it worked. We will see how long this keeps the TV going. Thanks for the tip. FYI. I did not use foil. Only the cardboard. I kept an eye on it in case the plastic started melting.
LOL, welcome to the "success list"!
@@Your-Self Thanks ! My wife came home and said "You put what in the oven?" 🤣
2 SUGGESTIONS. Wear rubber sole shoes when handling boards. My wife wears stirrups at work to keep from shocking. She handles boards all day,. She also laughed that I was baking a board in the oven at home instead of a digital oven like they use at work. Other suggestion when removing the connectors to the board, don't try to pry up with your fingernail. Push down on the other end. They come off very easily
Good suggestions, and thanks for watching.
How amazing that s going to happened.i tried this.but not putting the oven instead blow the heat with a hair dryer.thank a lot for the idea.it really worked for my lcd tv which had no pictures.
Thank you for the advice and the video. I tried this with my Toshiba 55HT1U TV that was having the identical problem. This completely worked O got the picture back 💯! Although I will say I think I did not connect one of the ports that connect to 2 HDMIs correctly because they are not working although the HDMI on the side is working perfectly. Again thank you for the video!
Good to hear it, and thanks for watching!
I thought this was a joke. i also had nothing to lose like everyone else in the comments. but i used a hairdryer first before putting into an oven, blow both sides of the board. and it worked!! thanks!!
It fixed my 6 years old Hisense TV
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for the info. I blasted my hair dryer to the back of the tv for a few minutes...and voila it works!! Cheers
Good to hear it, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for mentioning the easy way, but did you take the back cover off the TV when using the hair dryer?
@@o.o99 No I didn't. Pointed the hot air to the mother board for about 10 mins. The TV is still working. Good Luck.
Shelley MacIsaac how did you do it did you point it to the whole TV in the back
@@los_chichones_de_Penasco I pointed the hot air directly onto the motherboard. I didn't remove the back of the TV. I have a professional grade hair dryer, so it blasts really hot air. My TV is still working. Good luck.
Well...since stuff got melted...this was worth seeing...LG makes great products...you are lucky Sir...Thank You
LOL, thanks for watching!
OMG it worked. Thank you brother. 50" Vizio Model P502ui-B1E. I was skeptical but tried anyways and voila. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Good to hear it, and thanks for watching!
Worked on my 2010 3D TV, the TV powered off the other day, only the button bar was lighting up, black screen. Baked the motherboard for 10 minutes exact at 400f on my toaster oven. And its works :)
Awesome, good to hear it!
IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can not believe it WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to hear it, and thanks for watching.
Thank you very much
I don't know about the theory behind but it work brielently well on my 15 years old Toshiba Regza 50 inch LCD
I did some thing different, like removed the mother board and kept under strong sunlight for 15 minutes and every thing is fine now .
Thanks again for the wonderful idea
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow just wow. Lol. I put my whole car in the oven and it was fixed. Thanks
Wow. Reading some of these comments. I tryed it with a blow dryer on hot. Pointed towards the mother board, for like two minutes. It worked! Thanks peeps. Im convinced👍
Nice work!
What part of it did you heat precisely?
The fackin comments here!! 😂. I’m dying.
Same! Haha
Thank you for sharing your fix. Although my TV is a Sony I tried your method but it did not change its behavior: turns on, no video, no audio, flashes once and goes off. Can you suggest something else to try? I understand the reason for baking is to melt the solder. How about testing voltage? Thanks!
Tried your helpful guidance and the hard restart worked.
Good to hear
I did exactly what you said and it WORKED!!! Thank you so much!!!
Excellent, and thanks for watching!
For real?!
Really?
Jimmy Greer II yes and it’s still working.
Matthew Wharton yes
Bruhhhhh I found a tv by the trash 🗑. 55-65 “ and tried what you did and it worked! My man!
Awesome to hear it!
@@Your-Self thanks 🙏🏽. Wish I would’ve found the person that placed in there. 😂
OMG 😲 you got me there for a moment when things start to melt. Unbelievable. but it works yey. Well its my turn I got a l g 📺 tv. Thanks for the video.
Good luck with your TV!
Good evening please notice my message I want to ask you if we ne need to change another material if are u done to heating in oven?
Thank you!! This worked flawlessly. I used a small toaster oven and set temp to 400f for 10 minutes. The reason I went up in temp was due to the fact that the toaster oven door would not shut all the way because of the size of the motherboard. Let cool for 30 min and put everything back together. I did this with an Lg 42LE5400 motherboard. Thank you again for the video!
Great to hear that you fixed it yourself, and thanks for watching!
I could not believe it worked! I have a magic wand mouse so I really wanted this TV to work. I love it! THANK YOU!
Thanks for watching!
All it is a solder broke on one of those connections, heating it in the over basically melted the solder a bit to reconnect. A better would be to find the break and solder it. That maybe tough to find because a small break isn't very visible. This will do in a pinch because seriously, you are going to throw this out and get a new one, so nothing to loose.
Thanks for your video sharing. My LG 42 LB 5823 model after 5 years used to be blank (with no picture and sound) especially during the rainy season or during high humidity period. Just 2 days before it happened again after 4 months continue work. Will this baking/warmup of motherboard help to resolve this problem? Can we use a hairdryer to blow hot air on the motherboard? will it work?
The hairdryer sometimes works, but if it doesn't try to bake the board in the oven.
@@Your-Self Thanks for your reply.
It actually worked. Thank you
400 degrees conventional oven
I did 8 mins
No issue
Let it cool put it back in
Worked
Glad it worked for you as well. Thanks for watching!
My LG 55le5400 is 9 yrs old. 5 mths ago my AV1 ports went bad both video & audio, I baked my board 385 for 10 Min. ,All worked well except for my my HDMI,No biggy but now my video AV1 went back to kaput.
Awesome vid man! 💯% worked on my sisters LG TV. She's super happy, still can't believe it! tv hasnt worked in months!
Great to hear it, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for cooking your motherboard
I know it sounds unreal, whoever wants to bake a main board in a microwave oven, right? but it works. I found one video like this one last year, so I've tried it, I thought to myself I've had nothing to lose. so I've baked my main board in a microwave oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Amazingly it works. I've been enjoying my 3D movies since. You've got nothing to lose by trying.
Thanks so so so so much we were just about 2 buy a hole new 70 inch tv
Glad your 70-inch works again! Thanks for watching.
Did u really honestly do this and IT WORKED? It makes some sense but then again, it sounds sooooo crazy. So please let me know if it honest to God worked for u!! If appreciate it!!
Bahaha, I thought this was an SNL skit,too good man..love it
Glad you enjoyed it and it's real.
Mine makes the sound of it turning on, then off. Then it tries a second time but fails.
same
Se here. What did u do? Is ur tv okay now? Plz reply...
Thank you very much
I don't know about the theory behind but it work brielently well on my 15 years old Toshiba Regza 50 inch LCD
I did some thing different, like removed the mother board and kept under strong sunlight for 15 minutes and every thing is fine now .

🎉🎉🎉
Saved me a thousand bucks! Thanks man!
Glad I could help, and thanks for watching!
I'm a gonna give it a try. Nice tip and thanks so much. Got nothing to lose and maybe won't have to buy a new TV
Exactly! Nothing to lose, so give it a try... good luck!
What would you say the problem is a blank screen. if I unplug the tv hold power for 60 seconds then plug it in I get picture for 3 minutes than it goes black.
I made it! Thank-you for sharing!
It sounds like a Power Supply issue
Does shopJimmy still sale boards for plasma tvs.?
I opened the oven door too soon now my mother went flat!
ok well took me an hour just to get at this board removed ,the connections were difficult to release and also there is this metallic film strip glued to one of the board components and the other end of it to the metal frame housing and i noticed more of this material in other places i think it must be some kind of thermal conduction cooling ,i hope so because i had to peel it off to get the board removed but im worried about all these plastic wire connections on the board wont they melt? i see you had to keep good eye on it and remove it before it had a melt down, how can you be sure the board position is correct when placed in oven? who knows how these solders are some in vertical position perhaps
Not only it did not work, but somehow my motherboard turned into a very jucy thanksgiving ham, thanks tho! Very delish,
That electric shock clip at 4:15, please show it without any effect,.. or give a link of it, Please.
I have a doubt that , the Metal door handle is not connected to the ground, then WHERE and how will the electric current pass to ??
An ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) happens mostly in a cool, dry environment. If you live in a warm, humid place, you may never experience this phenomenon with a door-handle electric discharge. In a dry environment, when you move, your clothes get electrically charged up. And when you approach something metallic, the electricity wants to neutralize itself by "jumping" on it. And sometimes you can see an electric spark between your finger and the door-knob.
@@Your-Self Nevertheless, please enable viewing of the clip, WITHOUT any effect, if you have stored it.
Amazing! It works! I used your technic (10 minutes 200 °C, with the aluminium foil), with one TV that died with black screen, without sound. Super easy and effective video.
Thanks and kudos for you! :D
Great to hear it, and thanks for watching!
@@Your-Self someone could hurt themselves believing this shit.
Brah! Thank you for the close up detail I mean I got a Sony KDL 40s5100 I'm working on but wanted to check out your video and glad I did because that video close up was worth it .. great job
Glad I could help!
Can you show with the back of the TV off, the other components that may have went out and maybe how to identify those other components, please??!
baked it for 5min in a small toaster oven and worked great. I was able to get the TV working again.
Good to hear it! I've noticed that it takes less time to bake the board in a smaller oven than in a large one.
Can’t believe it,
So easy to resolve ,
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks for watching!
Are you concerned with the microprocessor? If so how would it be to take the black cover off and use a heat gun to reflow it?
I didn't want to mess with the black heat-sink because I don't have a heat-gun and the adhesive to put it back together. I'm not sure how easy it is to take that cover off... so baking the whole board was the easier decision.
