FIXING OR BUY NEW ONE?
(Sorry, we do not offer diagnosis or estimate over the phone or online. We need to troubleshoot, assessment directly on your device)
Based on our more than 30 years of experience, a lot of different symptoms can come from the same part, or different parts can show the same symptom. To make matters worse, even the same model number, there are different parts inside! Most of TVs are now made in China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, etc., and each manufacturer uses their own parts. Please keep in mind that your TV is like a desktop computer with software, firmware, motherboard, power board, driver … and a big screen.. All the parts inside work together in a loop. If one part becomes faulty, the whole system may be affected or even shut down. We have seen many instances where part 1 failed, causing parts 2, 3, and so on, to stop working simultaneously. We refer to this as a 'Domino Effect - Chain Reaction".
We are TV doctors. Obviously and logically, the doctors must check, test, and diagnose the patients directly before telling them what's wrong.
On average, in 70% of cases, repair costs for TVs should fall between $80
and $300 (excluding TV screens, which can cost around 60% to 120% of the
TV's original price). The cost can vary depending on the brand name, size,
model number, the required parts' availability, the difficulty of the
repair, and the labor involved.
There are millions of TVs and electronic devices on the market, each with
unique features, designs, problems, and parts. There is no average cost for
parts; for example, power supply boards can cost as little as $20-$30 or as
much as $100-$300 or more.
As a result, it is impossible to determine the exact issue and cost without diagnosing the problem. That is why we need to inspect your TV
directly first and
provide an estimate before proceeding with any repairs.
All the information below is provided to give you an idea of what the
problem might be and where it might be located. Please use it at your own
risk.
C-No power at all: It could be switching power supply board, power distributor, power controller, starter, main com board, power cord, protection boards, fuses, connectors ...etc
D- TV can not start, clicking continuously: power supply, starter, driver, computer board, capacitors, connectors, keyboard ...
E- Black, no picture, no sound, but has LED pilot light, hear clicks: It could be switching power supply board, power distributor, power controller, starter, sensor, scanner, buffers, computer board, display panel, lamp, lamp driver, back-light, connectors, wiring …etc…
F-No picture but sound OK: video power supply, video processor, scanner, back-light board, back-light power, back-light controller, backlight panel, inverter, buffers, computer board, display panel…etc…
G- Sound distorted: audio amp, speakers, computer board …etc…
H- Intermittent problem: It could be connectors, wiring, internal over heat, over current, over voltage, protection sensors or firmware…etc… in one of the boards inside of your TV.
I- How to make sure if the problem is your TV, not cable signal provider? Before call us, you should connect directly (without going through amplifier, receiver) any DVD player, game console ... to your TV and playing some movie, game... to double check if the problem is still there.
