I have a Sony KDL-32V2000 from ~2007 that is still going strong. Gets 10-15 hours of use per week. First thing I did when I purchased it was set the backlight brightness well below 100%.

Cool, couple of months ago got my sisters old Sony Bravia KDL-32D3000 LCD TV, also from 2007 and it's working just fine as well. First thing I looked through the brightness etc. settings, to make sure it's it's not set 100% brightness. Of course doesn't show HD channels, but lower resolution channels (cable) work just fine, and works as a display for videogame consoles as well.

I know it's kind of always been a thing, but when did it become the norm? Awareness of it sort of crept up on me in the 90's as I remember it.
Good morning Dave.....now working on computers AND TV's......ya gotta work out the BUGS. At least it isn't an expensive elaborate paint job....just to have a friggin' FLY land and get stuck in the middle of a panel. Now, back on the subject of LED's....I took apart a LED light fixture which has about 60 tiny SMD LEDs per panel and found 3 of them to be defective. Since they are so small ( about 1/8th inch square ) how can I tell which polarity they have ? I looked at them under a scope and see no indicators. I will see if I can remove them with my hot air station and bridge the solder points. What is your scoop ?
AT Time index 2:34 What on earth was that bong!! Sounded like the sound from the cartoon El Kabong with Quick Draw McGraw and Baba Loui his side kick { It was a cartoon made by Hanna Barbera cartoon } I couldn't resist !!!
Hahaha! The bug gave me a laugh! Nice repair, think it will be great for a security monitor! Do you know if LED laptop screens are setup the same way? Should i run with my backlight slightly turned down?
Those backlight LEDs are not that expensive as they were years ago, but it's sometimes hard to get the right ones (with about the same colour temp and brightness), you need quite a bunch of different ones in your drawers and still must be lucky. I always try to exchange them (with a heat gun), but for sure, those old TVs are not worth a dime.
It's only worth keeping as a camera monitor. For that it looks fine. Even with 3 dead led it's watchable. I've had it running constantly since putting back together. The bug is now gone. Looks fine. I got it free and didn't have to spend a dime fixing it. I would never change LEDs. I have 2 other sets with a dead led and they look fine and have lasted no problem.
When I was a young man many years ago there were TV repair shops. You don't see them anymore. The cost of labor has made their repair cost prohibited. I remember about twenty years ago I took my reel to reel into a shop for repair. The technician just looked at me and said we don't fix them. So, I gave it away along with new tape, and reels. It has become a common site to see them put out on the side of the road with the trash, along with washers, and dryers which use to last for years now only last until they're out of warranty. I've got a tube amplifier thats forty years old, and still working. If I sound like an old fart, it is because I am.
Yes I am fully aware. 40 years ago I was just entering the repair business and it was a bad choice in life. I never really wanted to be a TV repair man, i wanted to be a TV cameraman or video editor. That is what i went to school for. I had played around with electronics from an early age and worked at a TV shop while in high school. I worked at a TV station for a couple of years both as an unpaid intern and a paid staffer doing master control but unfortunately i listened to my boss and did what i was told and when the shit hit the fan he covered his ass and threw me under the bus. That one mistake i made, removing a tape that had been eaten by a Panasonic umatic (the one i show on my logo unlacing) after my boss told me to carefully remove the tape cost me that job and got me blacklisted. I landed a job at Sony for a year and took their betamax training. Then ended up an at independent service center. In 1983 minimum wage was 3.15 an hour. Sony paid 9.50 and the independent shop offered me 10 an hour to start. Working in electronics repair threw up plenty of roadblocks. Try to get a mortgage and the banker tells you up front that they don't think you will be working long enough to pay it off so they declined. Mid 80 thought the 90s however proved to be money making years as VCRs needed lots of maintenence to keep them running. Around 2000 the decline started and I got out in 2003 as I could see the future was definitely not friendly. Many a colleague however told me i was crazy that these new flat panel TV's would be real moneymakers. I left and went to a totally different industry. I too have a vintage tube amp. An old McIntosh tube receiver. Worked the last time i tried it which was probably 12 years ago.
@@12voltvids I wanted to be a computer technician when the big mainframes were still tubes, but because I was color blind, they wouldn't accept me into the school. I also remember them replacing the tubes after so many hours. They had two baskets. one full of new tubes, and an empty one. They would go cabinet to cabinet pulling tubes, and throwing them in the empty basket, and installing new tubes. There were hundreds of tubes. This computer filled a room 30X60 foot and the cabinets were cooled through the bottom of a raised floor. It took twenty tons of air conditioning to cool them. A couple months later the computer was replaced with a transistorized. Compute that was the size of a refrigerator, and twice as fast. They removed the old computer outside and left it there. I asked if I could remove some of the meters, and they let me. Oh, the good old days.

Your soldering would improve if you used flux on the connections prior to trying to tin the jumper points. You could also use an eraser to clean the pads which removes the oxidation on the copper pads. That is an old school trick for cleaning leads and such on components. Thank you for taking the time to do this video :)
Flux has got nothing to do with it it's called heat. These strips are aluminum backed and the PC is just a flex pc glued to the heat sync. Usually i crank the iron up to 850. I didn't this time. I had it at 700f and it takes time to transfer the heat to get the pad to flow temp. The solder has plenty of flux in it. Why do you think they call it rosin core. Flux has nothing to do with it. The land has to get to the melting temp for the solder before anything happens.
@@12voltvids I beg to differ here, you are only partially right. Flux in the core of solder helps to clean the pads too. the problem arises when you try to solder where the back plane consumes much of the heat from the soldering iron. If the pads are not clean to start with it takes more heat to transfer heat into the pads. Extra flux does 2 things, it cleans the pads and also provides a mechanism to help transfer the heat into the pads. Instead of being smug about my helpful tip, maybe you ought to do some research on the topic. I have been soldering including micro soldering for over 40 years.
I don't replace the strips. Not worth it. A single led that goes out you won't see. Even 3 on this one is barely noticeable and it's only going to be used for monitoring security cameras so no big deal. Changing strips is no more reliable because the new ones can fail just as easy as the old ones. LEDs normally don't fail unless they were defective in manufacture and you won't know if the new ones are defective till they fail. I don't want to have a set sitting apart for weeks awaiting parts and i certainly don't want to risk putting it together and then apart again when parts cone in. I've bypassed a bunch of them over the years and all still working fine.
Hello, I just bought a Sony Handycam DCR TRV-138 model, and everything works, except when you open the LCD screen, it’s just blank grey, but it will sometimes show a blue screen if you go to playback(?) mode.

Hi, 12volt, I have a question about replacing the big capacitor in the power supply section of my 1986 20" Sharp Linytron set. The original capacitor is 620uf@200v. I've checked Digikey, Mouser, Newark and several other electronics parts retailers and I can't find any 620uf capacitors at any voltage in stock. The only in stock potential replacements I can find are either 560uf@200v and 680uf@200v. As long as the voltage of the replacement capacitor is 200v or above, can the replacement capacitor be either 560uf or 680uf and if the answer is yes, am I better off using a 560uf or 680uf capacitor, considering that the capacitance of the original cap is 620uf. I appreciate any help you can give me.

@@Douglas_Blake_579 there is a gap between the screen and the diffuser. That's where it was. It fell to the bottom and out of sight. If it stuck a tap on the screen would knock it down.
The solder has plenty of flux, what i need is more heat as this is an aluminum backed strip. Do you know what they make heat sinks out of? You got it, aluminum. To boot they are glued to the metal back. This is to drain the heat from the leds. So no, extra flux isn't doing anything but cranking up the iron might make it quicker.
I had a Sony BRAVIA LCD Model Number KDL/KLV-46BX450. What a load of crap this television was. I bought the unit new in 2012. It didn't even last 7 years and it had less than 10 000 hours of use ! I will never ever buy a Sony again... 👍
Tp vision, same crap as philips when they weren’t real Philips anymore. But hey, we all want cheap stuff, if they were real sony/philips the price would triple 😂
Every company is doing that. Trying to cut their costs. Even the company I work for is getting rid of 6000 workers. Offering packages for many to leave. When profits fall companies cut. I may be on the chopping block sooner than later.
They are not that blue. The camera is color balanced for 3400k so naturally 6500k led will look blue. Color looks good. The bug appears to have found the way out.

21:40 that would bug me to no end ... I'd be taking it apart again
Thing about bugs is they only live a few days. Then gravity takes over.

True ... so long as there's space for it to fall in. With my luck it would end up right in the middle of the screen... LOL
@@Douglas_Blake_579 there is a gap between the screen and the diffuser. That's where it was. It fell to the bottom and out of sight. If it stuck a tap on the screen would knock it down.
i have seen this in lots of tvs
I know you have to know that flux would make your life easier.
The solder has plenty of flux, what i need is more heat as this is an aluminum backed strip. Do you know what they make heat sinks out of?
You got it, aluminum. To boot they are glued to the metal back. This is to drain the heat from the leds. So no, extra flux isn't doing anything but cranking up the iron might make it quicker.
I got a tv with a bug one time. Or bugs to be more specific. Bed bugs. It was infested 🤢 I almost infested my whole apartments
Watch out for those free TV's.
I had a Sony BRAVIA LCD Model Number KDL/KLV-46BX450. What a load of crap this television was. I bought the unit new in 2012. It didn't even last 7 years and it had less than 10 000 hours of use ! I will never ever buy a Sony again... 👍
Does Sony make a TVDebug like Microsoft makes WinDBG? heh heh
This one needs debugging.
perfect training for me thanks but you need permanent marker instead scratching (absulately joking)
I have Samsung XE8350G204 - it's got 5000 bugs in it, can I send it to you? HA HA HA!!
LCD was better lasted longer my choice plasma sets were much better
this tv is a philips or Aoc sony is buying a low quality chasis
Well at least for this cheap model.
For the low end stuff makes more sense to use off the shelf products and have your own firmware added.
Tp vision, same crap as philips when they weren’t real Philips anymore.
But hey, we all want cheap stuff, if they were real sony/philips the price would triple 😂
Every company is doing that. Trying to cut their costs. Even the company I work for is getting rid of 6000 workers. Offering packages for many to leave. When profits fall companies cut. I may be on the chopping block sooner than later.
i AM SHURE IT WILL DIE IN THE MIDDLE ;-)
Ever heard of gravity?
That tv is total junk, the leds are pretty blue and were definitely overdriven.
They are not that blue. The camera is color balanced for 3400k so naturally 6500k led will look blue. Color looks good. The bug appears to have found the way out.
