Are most tv's designed to break down after so many years or uses? Like Windows always does?
TEH kEEpEr yes everything is made to break even my MacBook. my Mac HDD was going bad so I upgraded to SSD now it's faster than most new laptops. #Fixitsavetheplanet
I did all of this and there is still a hammer lodged in the middle of my TV and its still broken. THANKS FOR NOTHING!!!!
As a Certified Electronic Technician I applaud your easily understood instructions for the layman or novice technician. Keep up the informative videos, Bro.
I remember my dad teaching me to fix TV's in the mid 1970's when you could pull a vacuum tube and take it down to Radio Shack/Tandy and test it for free on their tester. And they carried the tubes in house. Usually Sylvania (rebranded RCA) in a Radio Shack box. Simplicity.
Fantastic. Worked a treat and saved my TV for £1.70 for two capacitors. Your the man !!!! Thanks a million.
Thanks for your endeavor. I agree with so many of your other commenters, that most of our electronics can be easily fixed for next to no cost. Your RUclips endeavor is fulfilling to see how repairing instead of replacing is making a come-back!
Not so Much every place I have called tells me oh just throw away my 55" 6 year old TV. I am not even if I have to fix it my self.
What a stand up selfless guy, there should be millions of thumbs up for the priceless informative clips you upload. Gb you man from the UK
Thanks very much. This is one of the most informative, rational, sensible, concise, and useful how-to videos I've seen on RUclips. Nicely produced, too, without a lot of nonsense and repetition.
So Tampa tec Dude, basically after getting laid off my job I created my own employment by grabbing tv monitors and computers from the local recycle bin, fixing them and reselling. Recently I found an LG 55UF6450 4k smart tv and it powered up but had a blank screen. Following your recommendations I checked the capacitors on the power board and they were all good so I took advice from another dude on you tube and tried baking the mother board in the oven for 10 minutes at 385 F. well it worked and now we have an awesome tv cost us nothing. It always amazes me as to what people throw away. Im not an electronicas guy but with your help I would say that I am becoming one. Thanks so much for your guidance and easy to follow instructions in your videos. Keep up the great work. Kudos to you Dude!!!!!!
e is great''
TY so much. I had my TV plugged in for over a year but never turned it on. I'm guessing it surged during a storm or 2 we had this year. Very easy fix thanks to your video! New Sub
Just a useful tip I've learned over the years: for those who may not have much experience with small parts or electronics soldering.. use a small tip on the iron and make sure it's plenty hot. It should melt the solder immediately. I always leave a tiny drop on the tip before going to the board. Get the suction bellows right down there and release the plunger as soon as the joint goes shiny. DO NOT LINGER ON THE CIRCUIT CARD OR COMPONENT!!! You can quickly burn traces and neighboring components. You may want to practice the technique a few times on some junk cards if available. Just some thoughts. Take em or leave em.
Much appreciated
Thank~You!! I wish I’d have thought of this or found your comment last week!! Better late than never. :)
Dip it not dab it.
Totally agree with you, having spent 45 years in the repair trade. The solder should melt almost immediately.
Great videos. I'm also a repair tech and you have very instructive tips. I just discovered your channel and already subscribed. Thanks for being so clearly open.
Big thumps up all the time!
Thank you,great video,no music!! Right to the point!!

It is very informative. My Philips smart tv the sound is working when on the tv but after about 5 to 10 minutes the sound stops what could be the problem?
Can I say a big well done for being the most genuine guy of RUclips 2021. 👍👍
Had a friend come over to do the soldering for me. TV works perfectly again. I have missed my plasms... thank you, man.
What was the issue with yours? Neighbor gave me a TV, lokos very nice and its plasma but it doesn't turn on. It'll try but it turns right back off.
I'm halfway through and already feel better about things. Your a intelligent person and I for one appreciate your help
This world needs people like you man!
Another great video Paul. You do a nice job showing people how to save money and fix their own stuff.
First of all great video. I am a retired E&I tech from heavy industry, paper mill to be exact. Please remove all rings etc. before working on electronics as the potential for painful injury and equipment damage is present if you have conductive things on your hands,don't ask me how I know.It only takes a second to remove them and be safe.Its not something you normally think could cause a problem but the potential is there.
Man you're good, something is telling me if I continue watching your videos I will learn a lot, thanks.
Tampatec: simply, thank you for what you do and offer those DIY folks still these days!
I had similar problem with my LG TV; a capacitor had blown on the power supply board.
It would have cost around £35 for a replacement board and another £80 if I had an engineer to replace it for me.
Instead I bought a capacitor from a local.electronic supply store £0.42 and replaced it myself. TV now working fine.
£115 vs £0.42!!!
Thank goodness for some basic electronic know-how and some common sense!
Wonder if you could advice me.. .
My T.V has the standby light, if you press the buttons on the side to wake it up, I hear a kind off click sound.. like it half arsed wants to power up.
I literally stood there for over half an hour before trying to get it to power up, which it does eventually! But prior to purchasing a part, this is what I have to do... Just not sure what part I will need?
@@jaeda88
You need to open it up and look at your capacitors, make a note of the values for them. And change them ALL.
@@jaeda88 just look up make /model/ serial of your tv. open up the back (in hopes of label on circuit boards) or inked onto the board for identification and replace.
What are these strange symbols??
Engineers don't fix TV's. Technicians do...;)
I agree with your repair method. I've repaired many LCD monitors using this very same method and I always try to get a high voltage cap to replace the defective ones.
You might point out to your viewers that sometimes those caps (capacitors) will blow out the bottom (where it connects to the circuit board) and will not appear to be blown or domed. I've seen this issue on many power supplies. I've subscribed and will be following your work.
Than you. Great teaching brother. Beginners like me can learn a lot from your videos. Appreciate it so much.
I’d never be able to apply this to fix my tv, but loved watching.
I was a TV tech back in the 70's and 80's, the days of CRT and tubes. Now learning my way around these modern tvs. Very informative video. Thanks.
Good information. I had pulled the back on a donated 40" and had visually identified two swollen caps, but decided to replace them all...and it worked. I got lucky
I like how I sat through, watching 8 mins of this knowing that I won't even attempt fixing my TV in the first place
Knowing is half the battle
I lasted 5 min before I realized this
@@TampaTec I can tell you're not very smart.I 'd let an actual professional repair mine before even thinking about doing this.not some pretender like you.who thinks he knows everything
Reggie Holder you did see the part where he said a board can be swapped out?
Jack!
I didn’t know anyone still fixed TVs ! Thank you !
Great video. Informative, to the point and no BS. A lot of people could learn from your style.
I have repaired two 23" LG flat panel displays with bulged caps in the power supply. What you need to mention is that the caps used to replace the bulged items need to be low ESR caps otherwise you may end up with problems getting the switching power supply to work. As far as going to a higher voltage rating you may run into a size issue. I also used 35WVDC caps and they were a little bit of a tight fit. I get my parts from Jameco and since I buy in bulk I get the parts really cheap, 39 cents in lots of 10. It cost me about $6 to repair both my LG monitors. I'd also like to address the comments made by some viewers about the quality of the caps. The data sheets for the caps I purchased have an average lifetime listed at 10000 hours @20C (68F). That's a little over a year continuous operation So the life of the display is going to depend on how many hours of active use occurs as well as what the ambient temperature is. Also, even when the display is off, the 5v supply is on since that supply powers the indicator light and senses the button push or signal presence to control the display board. So the only practical way to extend the life of the caps is to unplug the unit from the wall or use a switchable outlet strip. Back in the old days of B/W CRT televisions (I'm dating myself) a very common problem was the filter caps in the B+ plate supply would dry out and one of two symptoms would manifest. You'd see a black bar across the image or you'd have no horizontal sweep. I'd generally replace the 450uf can caps. They failed often mainly due to the heat generated in the cabinet. My point- this is not a new problem but should be expected over extended use. In actuality, except for infant mortality which is covered under warranty, it should be expected that a modern monitor would fail after 3 to 4 years. Any operation after that is gravy.
Great video, I love how you don't go on and on about unnecessary things! You get to the point, offer tips & tricks and get the job done!
Most people keep this knowledge to themselves; they hoard it, use it, over-price their labor cost to do the repair and try to do the get rich quick scheme. I love that you share your knowledge and seem to share the principle
“If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” Very impressive!
I have been trying to fix my 72 in flat screen for years. finding a repair place in kansas has been a challenge. it blew when somebody was repairing on outlit in the house. this video def showed me how im fixing it today ty so so much.
Nice! And very smart to reuse equipment that’s not damaged! Thank you
u really helped me understand this stuff and shared ur expertise with us for free. this is great what ur doing keep it up and thank u for being a good person!!!
Too bad we live in a world where it's so easy to just discard our things. It's great to see that there are still some people that believe in saving things that can be repaired instead of just throwing the item away and buying new.
Repairing TV = $800+ {$100 just to test TV for a price to fix}! Cost of new TV $300:) That is why people don't repair! It's a no brainer:)
Stephen Cox stupidest thing I ever heard you need screws and parts you cant get from a store which should be less than $50 and cost 1-4 hrs of work depending and saving you more than 200+ dollars
Stephen Cox Surely youre not going to try and fix a cheap $300 TV. But a $1000+ tv, im sure people would rather spend some money formrepairs instead getting a new $1000+ TV.
@@stephencox4718 is that what the salesman told you?
Yeah, I completely agree.
Makes me feel a bit guilty too.
Just last week, we took my grandmother to the E.R. with chest pains.
The doc told us it would run approximately $35k to insert an arterial stint.
Luckily, they had a refurbished grandmother, that was a few years younger, for just $7k and a 6 month warranty.
Sure ... we're going to miss our real grandmother ... but then; "Nobody pays retail prices anymore. Why should you?"
This is really good to watch. I believe I can learn by watching a professional doing things. Thanks.
Thanks for this. Recent winds of fortune require that I repair the things that oppose me. Your video is appreciated.
You do great stuff on this channel. I hope it grows beyond your wildest expections. Your awesome young man.
billfromelma thanks. so far it's growing more than I imagined. youtube is a blessing. just to think RUclips was created because of Janet Jackson Superbowl boob slip.
I didn't know that. It sure has escalated in quality since then.
billfromelma grammar not even once.
Thank you for your videos they are all very informative & easy to understand I've enjoyed every video I've watched

Great Video, between you and another guy, helped me pin point the issue, had faulty Y board and mains board, replaced, now up and running, cheers
What were you're symptoms that led you to replace those parts. I have a screen that is showing half black screen and half a lot up screen. Backlight is good
@@bens3767 green lines and someof the apps not working like Plex and cutting in and out as if something was on its way out.
Thank you. We’re going to try and fix our first generation Samsung “Smart” tv.
first time TV repair video .. And loved it learned a lot thank you for time and experience.
be watching lots more. cheers!!!!
this video helped me to fix my grandads led tv it wasnt turning on one day so i orderes a new power supply for £20 fitted it and its working perfectly and then he bought me a 2ds as a thankyou
Thanks bro. Super appreciate you laying down the knowledge like this!!!!!
Very informative, and makes me want to watch more videos! I have an old tv on hand with the same problem; I was about to give up and toss it, but now I think I'll open that puppy up and see what I can do. First though, I'm going to have a look at your other videos to see what else I can learn from you. I know it's not a new video, but you have a new subscriber. Good work.
Great job, I have been repairing crt's for 25 years, now they are mostly gone. I am retired but fix the occasional led tv for people. Your tips are very good but most people are unable to use hand tools much less understand a voltmeter. I am going to repair a backlight problem on an LG tv for the first time. I told my buddy this is like open heart surgery. One mistake and the patient is done. Great fun for me!
Yeah, i scored a 50" lg that i had to replace 2 leds to get the backlight working. On refitting the diffusers and screen, something was slightly out of place so when screwing the bezel on i heard a click and realised i broke the screen. Now only the backlight works but I'll keep it for parts. Lucky it was free but I'm still kicking myself!
Great video, good job. I do have something to add that may be helpful. When sourcing new capacitors it is always a good idea to increase the voltage handling capacity but be sure the dimensions are the same or close enough. Even more important, especially if the faulty caps are swollen, is the temperature rating. It is likely the caps that failed are rated for 85C and for a little more money you can get 105C or above rated caps. These will last much longer and with the money you're saving why not make your repair last? Also, electrolytic caps dry out over time and are a big failure item. It's a good idea while you are in there to replace all the large caps if you can afford it. (the small caps are usually safe to leave in as they are mostly signal handling or dc blocking components and see much less stress)
Keep up the good work!

hey, thanks for the video! I work for the dept. of sanitation and I come across multiple tvs, daily. I would love to start bringing them back to life and saving them from landfills. maybe we can link up in the future...
Fantastic. I luv all your Tutorials. Crystal clear and vivid.
Thanks. I learned a lot. Beginner electronics here 😁 I need more hands on trouble shooting. This was fun to watch.
Cheaply made capacitors are the curse of modern equipment , and the horrible solder used nowadays . Lead solder is best but don't forget it can be absorbed through the skin when handled , gloves prevent this if you use it a lot. Always nice to see people repairing things instead of throwing them away !.
And solder only in a well ventilated area. Do NOT breathe lead fumes.
Glpi lpi no kidding this is the same people who want to tax us to clean up the Earth. Yet make this stuff we just throw away.
@@ingleringlet-snipps3rd449
CORRECTION: There are NO lead fumes! You are misinformed. The temperatures are too low to vaporize the lead... The fumes are only from the FLUX -- Still not good for you, but it is NOT LEAD!
There is enough fear in the world without adding to it unnecessarily!
Solder made from 63% Tin, 37% lead is the best because the temperature between liquid and solid is just a point at 361 degrees. This helps prevent "cold" solder joints. I have been using tin/lead solder since I was 10 years old. I am 72 now and no ill effects. Of course you should have good ventilation, but unless you are eating the solder, there is little to worry about.
@@swinde agreed been soldering since 6 now 65 worked in tv industrial communications marine and a ham radio operator soldered a lot agreed no lead vapour but flux fumes plastic fumes possible also so provide ventilation . Wash you hands well using liquid dish soap no problem before eating or handing food should be good
I like how you get right into it instead of introducing us to your family, pets & extensive network of amazing friends & their hobbies..blah-blah. Info videos should inform & you get it.
THIS is what I love about RUclips! Thanks
Exactly why the Right To Repair movement needs to progress. Save the planet and extend the life of equipment with minor issues.
"Thank You", thank you very much 😎
I had found a 47LD450 by the side of the street that had been thrown out. It only showed the red light, no picture and I couldn't get sound either. I followed your advice about checking the voltage on the pins from the power board to the main board, and it showed 3.35v on pins that should have been 3.5v and 0v on the rest (some were supposed to be as high as 20v). I ordered a power board and I will update this post when I install it. Thanks for posting this video.
Thanks, Tampatec.
like this video, i find swollen capacitors more often than anything else on TVs
i do home theater installation as well . and almost always i have to hall away a flat screen that seems otherwise in perfect condition. very helpful video maybe i could start repairing them and flipping them for a profit . thanks a million . awesome videos brother keep it up
There is a recycling bin outside my shop and I see maybe 50 flat screens 40" and up every week...have to wonder what is actually wrong with them....if it's something like this.....booya
gotta speak up
That was really good, and taking time to pass on your knowledge is full credit. Really appreciated, big thumbs up, subscribed, and happy new year.
thanks, welcome to the 200k sub club that you help us reach, Happy New year!
I've replaced the capacitors on a computer monitor and a 46" Samsung. The monitor I had owned and the 46" Samsung I found in the street. Another 46" Samsung I bought at a Garage Sale for $5.00 and all that was wrong was a loose ribbon cable. Then I was given a 52" Samsung with horizontal lines that come and go. Sometimes I would take an HDMI out and back in and other times there were no lines or the lines just went away after five minutes. The total cost for 3 remotes, 3 TVs, and capacitors is about $25.00.
Good video👍 I'm a field tech myself & have a spare tv thats very rarely used probably left on standby figure this also was the PSU fault.
HAVE A GOOD NEW YEAR😉
Problem spotted at right about 2:31, we have a few condensators (capacitors*) that have inflated, I would bet that those are on the 12v rail. And I agree with most comments, based on my personal experience, 9 times out of 10 its the capacitors.

The last television I repaired, I rinsed out with Dawn dishwashing liquid and a hot garden hose. I gave it a good wash out let it dry a week it's been running ever since about 8 years ago. The detergent did a better job than air blast on the affected high impedance circuits.

As a fellow Tampa-area resident ... thank YOU for sharing & creating content that has grown my understanding!
I am currently working on a SHARP 70 (LC-70LE755U).
The screen works - - but - - has a "wavy" picture. I have individually replaced TCon + PowerSupply +IO board (testing image after each install).
Unfortunately, zero change from original screen fault. Those are the only boards ... minus some edge lighting + wifi card.
I presume the LCD screen is not damaged ... since the lines are not fixed.
At this point, I dont know what else I can do to repair ... besides maybe stripping down the chassis & replacing the LCD panel - - as a "long-shot"
I just did a DVD with a bad filter cap, I was actually looking for it since the menu screen was showing a faint 60 cycle hum before it died. I did TV repair in the 80s when transistors were beginning to dominate, it was all component level test and repair, here I am 63 years old and still playing with this stuff, too much fun.
You have such a nice smile! I picked up a tv off the street I want to fix so my mom can use, it turns on for about 1 second, the screen flashes blue then turns off. I hope I can figure it out!
Thanks, check standby volts on power supply if it's under 3v then replace power board but if standby volts is ok and steady then can be bad main board, tcon board or led strips.. Get tv boards at shopjimmy.com or electropartsonline.com
Just found your site. Outstanding. Figured these days most old TVs were just tossed and a new one bought.
That's what they want you to think. That is also why they installed 25v capacitors in there, they will expire more quickly in my experience. I've done this repair on many monitors myself, and i always install a higher voltage, and i have yet to replace a capacitor ive installed.
thats how they make money...everything breaks down so quickly

I got 2 cap kits and subscribed, great channel glad i found u...surprised the kits were still there
Thank you very informative
I salute your unrelenting knowledge sharing technique. Keep it up.
But can you put me through on Laptop repair and sourcing for parts?
i go on ebay, usually its power port that needs to be soldered or replaced.
Mikail Okewole, if you're doing laptop component replacement? then due to their small size I've often used a 'Solder Paste' which is a fluid you simply squeeze through a syringe and it becomes conductive after drying - it beat getting a clumsy hot soldering iron into those tight spots.
I could swear I got this lesson from you at a shop near Tampa rd Oldsmar Fl. Located in a big box store. Anyway....thanks for the recap.
Thankfully i found your channel. Thank you helping me for the to find and how to fix the TV or more.
Man I've fixed so many TV's due to bad caps. Great video.
I actually encountered this problem with a TV that I was disassembling to salvage the parts. I almost attempted to replace the capacitors with ones that I salvaged from another TV that was broken for a different reason (the LCD had been hit hard enough to break it). The only reason why the TV is still going to be scraped is because I lost the screws and the TV was replaced by a smart TV. Also the TV had fallen twice, so the capacitors might not have been the only problem with it.
Thank TAMPATEC.
Clear ,informative and surprisingly interesting .
great that ur fixing all these TVs and keeping all this plastic out of the land fill!
At 2:30, the first thing I spotted was the bulging tops of the electrolytic capacitors. Capacitoris Bulgitis is a firm indicator for a transplant operation. :)
I had 2 x "Bauhn" brand (from Aldi) TVs which both failed in exactly the same way as the TV you're repairing (red LED and clicking when you try to turn it on) and when I opened up each, I immediately spotted the bulging caps so I replaced them and now I have 2 working TVs. :)
There's been a rash of electrolytic capacitor failures recently (over the past 10 years or so) and now they're always my first suspect.
Great video, just subscribed...
Informative, well spoken and simple fix
Very good work. I have been repairing electronics since the 1960's with electron tubes and later transistors and later microprocessors and very often when troubleshooting begin with the power supply.
I like how it says easy fix when I’m completely lost
It is but I think you are a little too young for this tutorial
@@isaiahdrustani3568 LMAO I am 30 years old and even I am completely lost lol.
Hahaha, who would have thought the good old turn off turn on trick would fix the issue?! I feel so stupid now... oh well, problem solved anyways, back to watching Rick and Morty :D thanks man, you're a true hero!
Thanks for the idea of using a butane iron to get plenty of heat to a very small tip; those ground planes can steal most of the heat from a smaller electric iron, not leaving enough heat to melt the solder on grounded caps. Thanks!
WOW Gas Iron can remember when last I used mine and GREAT JOB
Way cool how you tell people how not to pull on the wires vs. the connector head, yet you show yanking a power cord by its cable vs. its connector. Never ever yank an AC power cable by its cable. Always by the AC connector head. This tip from a guy with 50 years electronics experience. P.S. you are doing great with your advice on saving people money fixing T.V.s. Rock on.
Vincent Chen thanks

What happens if you pull on the cable?
Michael Blasius you might break the wires!

Almost no wasted time and RUclips amateur show business self-promotion. Just useful info, and actually showing the real work. I bet you repair a lot of equipment, keeping the dumps from filling up with older electronics for a few more years.
big thumbs up
You are awesome! New subscriber
@Tampa Tec Thanks very much for the help! I'll probably attempt this, now that I cannot find a new power supply replacement board anywhere, and even used boards are rare.
It did look like some of your capacitors had "non-flat" tops (the Xs are carved in the top in order to give way when the insides boil and give a visible sign of cap failure).
Reminder: Voltage is an "across" variable. Current is a "through" variable. Voltage appears "across" two points. Current "flows" from one point to another. Voltage can appear across a pair of points without any current flowing. Current can be flowing between a pair of points with no voltage across them.
Been a Tech since the 70s, Tube TV's, 8 Track, Craig Powerplays, Pioneer Super Tune, Gutars and Amps. For Desoldering, we used Soldapult, Copper Braid, Best one Believe is Like a Radio Shack Desoldering Iron, with a Squeeze Bulb, you could Remove a 40 Pin Chip in a Minute. When Removing a Lot of Parts off a Scrap Circuit Board, Use a Heat Gun on Foil Side, When Hot, bump against the table with the palm of your Hand, Inertia will let the Components Drop, Can do a Lot Quickly, Use Ventilation.
I Look for Bulging Capacitors First thing. They had a Run of a Lot of Bad Ones, Don't know if they Corrected problem, may have tried to cut a Corner(process or material)
Seem Better now.
60/40 is the only solder I use. lead free is garbage and actually leads to failure. I have saved several bad stereo units that was put together badly,on top of that,they used lead free. You can tell because the lead free isnt as shiny and doesnt stick to the board the same way,it doesnt flow,it blobs. Nice repair video. I have seen many of them and yeah,usually bad caps,if not,for sure main power unit issues.
Actually 60/38/2 with 2% copper is even better since it protects the solder-tip from beeing washed out so it lasts longer.
i know exactly what your talking about i use lead free for my small projects and the joints are very delecate although i wouldnt use lead fre on bigger projects it should be perfectly fine when working with small insignificant stuff like the light box i set up a year ago that things been bouncing aroudn takin a beating still works fine
My samsung stopped after 2 years and it was the capacitor! gave it to my dad to repair made it for like £1.
Thanks for the video.
