As a Certified Electronic Technician I applaud your easily understood instructions for the layman or novice technician. Keep up the informative videos, Bro.

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

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

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.

Thank you,great video,no music!! Right to the point!!

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.

Can I say a big well done for being the most genuine guy of KZfaq 2021. 👍👍

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 KZfaq endeavor is fulfilling to see how repairing instead of replacing is making a come-back!

Thanks very much. This is one of the most informative, rational, sensible, concise, and useful how-to videos I've seen on KZfaq. Nicely produced, too, without a lot of nonsense and repetition.

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.

Fantastic. Worked a treat and saved my TV for £1.70 for two capacitors. Your the man !!!! Thanks a million.

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!!!!!!

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!

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!

This world needs people like you man!

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

I just gotter say........... there seems to be alot of people slagging this man off. My point is, , when you all quoting how long you been doing this and that and mocking this man................. i say "fcuk off" and do your own channel........ this man is trying to help people that maybe cant afford to run to people(maybe like you'all) to fix these kind of tv probs. for those guys i say ( as we do in England" JOG ON!!

I'm halfway through and already feel better about things. Your a intelligent person and I for one appreciate your help

Another great video Paul. You do a nice job showing people how to save money and fix their own stuff.

Had a friend come over to do the soldering for me. TV works perfectly again. I have missed my plasms... thank you, man.

Than you. Great teaching brother. Beginners like me can learn a lot from your videos. Appreciate it so much.

Man you're good, something is telling me if I continue watching your videos I will learn a lot, thanks.

I like how it says easy fix when I’m completely lost

Great video. Informative, to the point and no BS. A lot of people could learn from your style.

Nice! And very smart to reuse equipment that’s not damaged! Thank you

Fantastic. I luv all your Tutorials. Crystal clear and vivid.

I didn’t know anyone still fixed TVs ! Thank you !

Thanks bro. Super appreciate you laying down the knowledge like this!!!!!

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!!!

Tampatec: simply, thank you for what you do and offer those DIY folks still these days!

THIS is what I love about KZfaq! Thanks

You do great stuff on this channel. I hope it grows beyond your wildest expections. Your awesome young man.

I’d never be able to apply this to fix my tv, but loved watching.

Thank you. We’re going to try and fix our first generation Samsung “Smart” tv.

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

Exactly why the Right To Repair movement needs to progress. Save the planet and extend the life of equipment with minor issues.

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.

first time TV repair video .. And loved it learned a lot thank you for time and experience. be watching lots more. cheers!!!!

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.

Dude, you just saved me a couple grand! You're awesome.

"Thank You", thank you very much 😎

Thanks. I learned a lot. Beginner electronics here 😁 I need more hands on trouble shooting. This was fun to watch.

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.

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.

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.

Thank TAMPATEC. Clear ,informative and surprisingly interesting .

You just got a new subscriber I love fixing stuff like this.

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.

Informative, well spoken and simple fix

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 !.

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

Great video. Thanks for the input

Thanks, Tampatec. like this video, i find swollen capacitors more often than anything else on TVs

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

Thank you very informative

Watched you video for 1:35 minutes. TV fixed. Thank you!

great that ur fixing all these TVs and keeping all this plastic out of the land fill!

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.

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

Thank you very much! Your videos are awesome!! Very helpful and well explained.

Thankfully i found your channel. Thank you helping me for the to find and how to fix the TV or more.

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...

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 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!

Great job.

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! Bat

I salute your unrelenting knowledge sharing technique. Keep it up. But can you put me through on Laptop repair and sourcing for parts?

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.

Thanks to you I was able to fix this jenson 26"

Don’t forget to remove that ring when you’re working with live circuits.

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!

Nice video. Thank you.

As an experience tv engineer i can say the presentation is very good

Great video, just subscribed...

Man I've fixed so many TV's due to bad caps. Great video.

Great video, thank you!

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😉

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!

Just found your site. Outstanding. Figured these days most old TVs were just tossed and a new one bought.

Thank you for the help !!!!!

Almost no wasted time and KZfaq 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.

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!

big thumbs up

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.

Thanks for the video. This was a big help. Now if I decide to watch TV instead of u-tube....

Very helpful . Nice way of teaching. Thanks Tampatec. I always enjoy your teaching. Highly appreciate it. A Big Thgumb up.!

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.

Big Thumbs up!

Thank you brother

Unplugging not just shutting off worked! Thank you!

Yesterday I managed to fix an old LG tv the same way.The tv would power on but it wouldn't produce any sound.turns out the 6volt rail was showing only 3 volts,and the reason was four swollen capacitors!

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.

Great informative video. Thanks!

Awesome video man. You know your stuff

there is missing part checking voltage of power board after replacing the capacitors.

You need a vacuum solder sucker tool. Cheap and makes removing parts easier.

Thanks!

I got 2 cap kits and subscribed, great channel glad i found u...surprised the kits were still there
