What are the most common TV problems?
The most common TV issues include no power, no picture but sound works, no sound but picture works, lines or distortion on the screen, backlight failure, HDMI port issues, and power supply board failures. Many of these problems can be fixed by replacing specific parts.
How do I know which part is causing my TV problem?
Start by identifying the symptoms. If your TV won't turn on at all, it's likely the power supply board. If you have sound but no picture, check the backlight or T-Con board. If you see lines or distortion, it could be the T-Con board or main board. We recommend searching our parts catalog by your TV model number or symptom.
Can I repair my TV myself?
Many TV repairs are DIY-friendly if you're comfortable with basic tools and following instructions. Replacing power supply boards, main boards, T-Con boards, and backlights are common repairs that don't require professional experience. Always unplug your TV and take proper safety precautions when working with electronics.
How do I find the right part for my TV model?
You'll need your TV's model number, which is usually found on a label on the back of the TV or in the settings menu. Once you have the model number, you can search our website or contact us for help identifying the correct replacement part.
What tools do I need for TV repair?
Most TV repairs require basic tools: a Phillips head screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, and possibly a Torx screwdriver set. For some repairs, you may also need a multimeter to test components. Always work on a clean, flat surface with adequate lighting.
How long does a TV repair typically take?
Most component replacements take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your experience level and the specific repair. Power supply and main board replacements are usually quicker, while backlight replacements can take longer as they require more disassembly.
Do you offer warranties on replacement parts?

Is it worth repairing an older TV?
It depends on the TV's age, size, and repair cost. Generally, if the repair costs less than 50% of a comparable new TV's price, it's worth fixing. High-quality larger TVs are often worth repairing even if they're several years old.
What safety precautions should I take when repairing a TV?
Always unplug the TV and wait at least 30 minutes before opening it to allow capacitors to discharge. Never touch components while the TV is plugged in. Work in a well-lit area on a clean surface and consider wearing an anti-static wrist strap to protect sensitive components.
