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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

[southcoastms]

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

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.

[stevewalton]

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

[JohnSmith-jlfm]

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

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.

[glpilpi]

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 !.

[wendydee]

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

[ActiveReeels]

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

[anthonyrock]

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.

[SARDOG]

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

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!
