I would like to say that if you are having a problem with your TV be sure to check the
model number first. The model number appears in this little box over here. Every TV is
different, this is a Sony LCD TV but you will see the model number and serial number over
in a box like this. The model number are very important because that is what will help you
to identify what parts are needed to repair your TV. If you are having a problem with
your TV, please feel free to comment in the comments section below this video or send
us a message on YouTube with your TV model number and the problem that you are having.
This way we will be able to help you diagnose the problem and suggest a fix.
So the first thing you are going to want to do is make sure you have unplugged your TV
from any power source and that you have also grounded yourself properly. Next you will
want to take out the screws in the TV that are holding the back cover on it. Every back
cover of at TV is different but most are help in by screws and can be easily removed. So
we have removed all of the screws here on the back of the TV, now we are just going
to remove this back panel. One thing to consider is that not every TV
is going to be the exact same. So not every TV will just have these four main parts some
may have more and it may have less. Some of the parts might be connected, where you might
have backlight inverters and power supplies on the same board. There are typically two
different levels of repair for TV parts. You can open up your TV, find the board number
and then look up that board number to find a replacement part or you can take your board
and try and repair it at the component level. At the component level you would be testing
different components on the board and making sure that they work.
The first board we are going to look closer is the power supply. Now the power supply
again, takes in power and distributes it throughout the TV. So the first thing that could go wrong
here is that the TV set will not turn on. If you are not able to power on your TV the
first thing I would do is double check that the outlet works. Try plugging something else
into that outlet and be sure that it turns on. You could plug in a clock, you could plug
in anything, but just be sure that the outlet works before you start taking your TV apart.
If the outlet works and you are still not getting power to your TV, then you will want
to take a look at the power supply. Power supplies will have a fuse on them. You can
check the fuse to see if it is blown and if it is you can try replacing that and plug
the TV back in. If the TV powers on and the fuse stays good, you should be set to go.
If the fuse blows immediately after plugging the TV back in then you will have another
issue on the board that is blowing that fuse. If you are going to try and check you fuse
on your power supply, sometimes it can be a little bit more difficult. Some fuses are
ceramic and you would need a meter to test that fuse to see if it is bad.
Some common things to look for on these boards are blown capacitors, where you will have
a capacitor like this that has become raised at the top or is leaking fluid.
Again, just a reminder that if you have any issues with your TV and you can't quite figure
out the problem, feel free to comment below this video in the comment section and try
and be sure to include your TV model number, possibly the serial number and any symptoms
or problems that your TV is displaying. If you do not want to post a comment below the
