True LCD panels are hard to find and shipping them can be risky and expensive since they are big and fragile. However phone and laptop screens are sold world wide but shipping is cheap and they can be easily protected in shipping.
I can empathise with your joy at fixing the TV. I have an Iphone5 that had severe battery issues (It wouldnt hold charge for more than a few hours). I bought a replacement battery on Amazon a few weeks back and was so worried I would break the screen or something else. I finally got round to fitting it in the early hours this morning after watching many many vids on how to remove the screen. Took an hour or so but the relief when you power it back on. Its people like you posting videos on TH-cam that gave me the confidence to do it. Thank you Vince for being an inspiration.
This is more what I do. Great work. The bezel assembly/disassembly for that particular TV is one of the easiest I've seen. I usually end up working on 40-65" sets, so it's more involving with the bezel. Nice work, and it's good to have viewers across the world seeing a need and helping out. Great vid, I expect to see the return of your TV in future videos as it used to be :)
Hi Vince...glad you got it sorted .Welcome to my world.I repair TVs for a living and know the difficulties regarding spares.I just finished replacing the backlights in my own 55" LG 3D TV which involves much more than just a whole screen ...seperating the screens layers and diffusers to expose the backlight/edgelight LEDs is not for the faint hearted.Luckilly I sourced suitable spares from an ebay seller in Spain and for £80 and a weeks work plus lots of sweat and panic & my £1000 TV now works perfectly again.A word of advice DO NOT just bin the old screen ..one day you will neen the screens backlight and those are often just as tricky to source..yours are working so keep hold of them.Rgds Evan
People like him put love in fixing things. Their tools and the things they fix have an emotional attachment to them. I am pretty sure when Vince finally kicks the bucket, he'll become one of those ghost that will haunt the things he fixed.
That looked like woodgrain shelving paper. I put the stuff in drawers and shelves where they are made out of MDF or partical board. Also space, where objects slide around and can damage surfaces over time.
Thank God You Got Your TV Working Again. I Had A 50” Samsung 4K Smart TV It Had A Cracked Screen 10 Days Ago I Bought A 40” VIZIO 4K Smart TV From Sam’s Club In Texas City, Texas.” I Couldn’t Watch TV In My Room For 8 Months I Now Can Watch TV!!!!
Aww, what a lovely reunion video in the end lol! I know what it is like to lose a bit of tech that you are very fond of, so I share your joy at this fix! Keep up the good work Vince.
Hell yes!!!! I really felt this. And most people just won’t realize how lucky you are to get this tv fixed. I remember when you posted the original vid, and a month before that I went through the same thing but could never find a replacement screen. Only out stock and discontinued email replies. List price being 1/2 or 1/3 the price of a new tv too 🤦♀️ $100-215 Really crappy part I found a working model on eBay for $240 shipped for a 32” tv.
I'm impressed that the panel survived that trip. I can't manage to get panels shipped to me from 30 miles away without them cracking. Good job Vince, it's nice to save a useful TV with all those inputs. I have a similar LG one that size with bundles of inputs and I'd cry if I lost the use of it, so I know where you are coming from.
An amazing fix Vince, that screen has had a very long journey. Pleased for you that it arrived in one piece and that the postmen were careful with it. 🙂
One thing i would salvage from the old screen is the back lights not sure if this is led or cfl lamps but could be worth removing as spares though a bit more of a pain to fit if they fail .I am using a 37 inch tv that i got over a year ago that was dumped panel was broke but found a cheap replacement on ebay £32 posted lg screen only a vestel made set but does what i need and for what the panel cost i have had my moneys worth i use it for dvd ,bluray and netflix and watching youtube using my pc and a bit of web browsing .
Hi Vince. I've been a fan of your videos for a few years and you fascinate me how well you fix things, but I do have one question. Wouldn't it have been cheaper just to buy a new TV.
just by the place you plugged in the power cable that loop on a plug with the black wire you can unplug that and REfit that switch and you will have a hard power switch then ..
Hi Vince If you have the screen model number, sourcing a part is a lot easier generaly from Japan or Chinese sellers. Nice that everything worked out ok, and Logik are Currys own specified brand.
I have the later version of that screen, which I imagine is the exact same but just with sleeker styling. Had it for a good few years now, very handy thing to have around.
I just finished trying to fix my old Sky Q remote control by prying it open with a few picks and a spudger as there were 2 main problems with it. 1) The play/pause button fell off at some point and wouldn't stick back on again. Come to find out whilst opening the remote up that almost all the buttons were fused onto a rubber pad so that they don't fall off easily, apart from the play/pause button. Overtime the surrounding rubber ripped off and it meant that that button would never stick to the base properly. 2) The power button needed a lot of force to actually work. So I cleaned up the buttons and the cases with Flash lemon cleaner and a brush, then I cleaned the conductive pads and the little circuitboard with IPA and it worked! The power button only needed a tiny bit of force to press down. However to try and fix the button issue I used superglue to stick the button to it's surroundings, but I ended up putting too much onto the conductive pad on the button and even after trying to remove it, the button never worked again. :( So the remote ended up being recycled but thankfully I already had a replacement easy grip remote at hand. I would just like to say thanks Vince for all the fix it videos you uploaded. You have given me the confidence to try and repair items and see how they work! :)👍 PS: I also managed to fix my Yamaha keyboard by adding more solder to the power and sustain jack sockets thanks to your fix it videos!🎹
I had a similar issue a few years ago with a 22” Samsung TV with a line down the screen which was due to a faulty panel. It required a replacement Chi- Mei panel and I managed to get a used one off EBay which had came out of a HP all-in-one PC and the type numbers matched. Replacement panel successfully fitted into the Samsung. After all of the faffing about it would have probably been easier and not cost much more to replace the TV outright! It was an enjoyable experience all the same.
Do you need the exact same panel for the tv to work? Wat if he used another brand panel? I am putting that together myself but Im kinda scared to plug it into 220v. So I had 2 broken monitors an have taken the screen from one and the 2 boards from another 24incher. I need some advice!
You can try to get a cheap sony bravia 28" from 2008/2009 also. I got one for 10 Euros locally and it also got all the connections you mentioned + S-Video
imagine the rage if he drops remote control on screen while he was celebrating succes repair...hehehhe...i am just kidding, so glad its working. for me this TV is part of this channel as u were always using it for ur repairs.
**Vince** well done to you with out doubt. Usually panells like the one gifted to you have a part number on the back because they are used in many devices
Vestel LCD screen in so many home brand tvs. you find them in British Heart Foundation shops Mine has all those inputs with the bonus in built DVD player
I've done the same thing and messed up hours of work and turned it into garbage. In particular I remember fully repairing at 5 horsepower engine that had a built-in clutch attachment and I finally started it up and was so pleased to see it running flawlessly until catastrophically broke within 20 seconds because I forgotten to put engine oil back into the crankcase. That would have been less than a dollars worth of oil that I already had on hand and I completely trashed the engine. I was not a happy camper. Haste makes waste!
Hi Vince I know you might not see this but I seem to be having a problem with my Xbox 360 arcade. It doesn’t read disk. all the disk drive will do is spin for half a second and then nothing all I know from my research is that the disk drive bord is paired to the main mother bord. If you could give me any kind of knowledge I would highly appreciate it. Thanks
from what my father said when he worked in Sony back in the 80's/early 90's was the screens cost something like £1,000 each to replace. so way cheaper just to throw the tv away than get a new screen. so unless they were still making the same tv's, then the manufacturer would make a massive loss just making 1 screen, hense they would pass on the charges to the consumer. so it was the main reason why tv's would be thrown rather than repaired. I would have thought that being panels instead of tubes, then replacement would be easier. there again they are made extremely fragile. surprised it managed it the 10,000 miles without any damage though. looks like the insulation worked really well, and the panel wasn't miss handled while in shipping.
*Puts in new panel, turns on TV and hears* "Neighbours. Everybody needs good neighbours.......". "Oh crap, it's broken. After all that and the distance and it's broken".
Personally, I would mod this TV to have an IEC connector on the back instead of only having a fixed power lead. It's easily done, all you have to do is dremel out a hole big enough to mount the connector in the back panel and connect the included power cable to the backside of the IEC connector.
if you pick the TV up from the back and put your hands only under the plastic piece on the front and on the front a little bit also only on the plastic piece to keep it from getting dropped it shouldn't break again if you need to move it, that is how i carry my 1280x1024 VGA 19 inch HP monitor and it has not broken yet which is good because it's very old so i probably wont be able to find new parts for it too
Michel is one awsome Aussie :-) This is a good example of the awsomeness of the internet :-)
sismofytter Adding in my Thanks to Michael!

Made in Turkey by Vestel, sold in the UK by Currys, fixed by a replacement panel from Australia.
And panel from ChiMei Innolux
It's not a Vestel set,it's some chinese set.
True LCD panels are hard to find and shipping them can be risky and expensive since they are big and fragile. However phone and laptop screens are sold world wide but shipping is cheap and they can be easily protected in shipping.
Always good to see the repair community working together.

That was lucky getting hold of that screen the same model especially from Australia in without it getting damaged nice one great fix.
LGR would love that woodgrain packing tape
That looked like woodgrain shelving paper. I put the stuff in drawers and shelves where they are made out of MDF or partical board. Also space, where objects slide around and can damage surfaces over time.
Man reunited with his best friend. His TV. Well done Vince. Well done.

Wonderful job there Vince. I am glad everything went well in your repair. I hope things are working great from then on.
Aww, what a lovely reunion video in the end lol! I know what it is like to lose a bit of tech that you are very fond of, so I share your joy at this fix! Keep up the good work Vince.
Its like loosing your phone is the end of the world nowadays lol
What cheer that went up when you finally fixed the monitor made me swell up inside. Happy valentine's day man. Keep it up.
I love how emotional he is for a TV
That tvs been a big part of the channel
@@speedwaynutt Yep it sure has
Milan it’s traveled over 10,000 miles and this TV is in so many of these videos
Not again
glad you kept the tv and revisited it and saved it from landfill congrats vince

Nice one My Mate Mike. You made My Mate Vince so happy
New Vince! Your fix it ethos is near and dear to my heart, mate!
Glad you got your ol' friend back. Great video!
I'm impressed that the panel survived that trip. I can't manage to get panels shipped to me from 30 miles away without them cracking.

Welcome back to life you awesome TV :D thank you Michael for the panel.
Great fix Vince
I’m glad everything went well,nice job ! Kudos to Mike👏🏻👀
2020 the return of the fix it tv :D
An amazing fix Vince, that screen has had a very long journey. Pleased for you that it arrived in one piece and that the postmen were careful with it. 🙂
Very well done Micxhael and Vince, cracking fix. Paul.
That is satisfying to see you finally fix that TV. It's been too long haha
Excellent revisit video as always ❤️👍
Thanks vinny. Good advice. Source the panel and way the odds
Awesome video I was impressed when you said the tv screen traveled 10,000 miles
Seeing something that would have ended up in landfill brought back to life makes me happy. I hate to see how much we throw out nowadays.
One thing i would salvage from the old screen is the back lights not sure if this is led or cfl lamps but could be worth removing as spares though a bit more of a pain to fit if they fail .I am using a 37 inch tv that i got over a year ago that was dumped panel was broke but found a cheap replacement on ebay £32 posted lg screen only a vestel made set but does what i need and for what the panel cost i have had my moneys worth i use it for dvd ,bluray and netflix and watching youtube using my pc and a bit of web browsing .

The Return of Logik TV!
Back in business to this channel 👍🏻
Hi Vince If you have the screen model number, sourcing a part is a lot easier generaly from Japan or Chinese sellers. Nice that everything worked out ok, and Logik are Currys own specified brand.

I can imagine Vince running around in the fields with glee while hugging that television like a long-lost BFF
Awesome stuff! Maybe fit a handle to the top for easy carrying?
Why not add the on-off switch? Seems convenient! The board has that one connector with the loop which is where it would plug into I'd imagine.
When I switch on my led , mostly blink white and return to the standby position, some time it's working fine, can you help me?
Hey, I have an issue I press the home button for my xbox but the section which should pop up doesn't how do I fix this
One of the few electrical appliances that I hate fixing. So easy to break the panel.
@My Mate VINCE - Why do u remove the on/off switch?
Great job, so glad you finally did the tv
Man my mate vince’s videos are not the same with that original tv that started it all!
0:07 : Logik: Aaaaah Geez oh my screen oh
Me: (Laughs)
Remote: poor logik! (And cries)
All: (Laugher)
**Vince** well done to you with out doubt. Usually panells like the one gifted to you have a part number on the back because they are used in many devices
Thanks I will think of what country I should come to the uk or Australia
Great to see you have sourced a screen finally!
I have a broken screen on my tv, will it be safe to use still?
Perfect. Nice little fix.
enjoyed that, delighted it worked
You can install panels fom other brands. I used a old computer monitor to fix my tv
Vestel LCD screen in so many home brand tvs. you find them in British Heart Foundation shops
Mine has all those inputs with the bonus in built DVD player
Big thanks to Michael and Vince for this Video, lets hope there are no more follow ups on this TV, And let me stress this is the only for this TV...
Fantastic result =D
Thanks Chris :-)
0:09 : Logik: Ow. Ok hold on hold on hold on I just drop that on my screen
Me : (Laughs)
I've done the same thing and messed up hours of work and turned it into garbage.

Don't get rid of the broken panel. Apparently according to some TH-cam channels you can make them into light panels...
wow thanks Michael
Michael is the best
Your naivety is infectious as always 🙃
Where do I purchase screen
What logik tv model is this?
Man, you really love that tv!
Matter of fact, I found EXACTLY this same panel in a broken TV I took apart. Guess taking them apart does make quite much sense!
I have the same TV had it for nearly 14 years old still going a bargain for £129 in 2009
Love a happy ending :-). Well done Vince
if you're looking to see if a screen has a crack, shine a torch onto it. You should be able to see it when it's turned off.
Great video Vince.
On eBay you can find diverse LCD drivers with VGA, Composite HDMI ... So you can use a old laptop screen with a driver like that.
Like this one. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.nl%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F254287461100
Wife: what are you doing?
Vince: just redoing the floor
Also vince: * pulls out woodgrain sticky tape *
15:32 : Logik: good
Me: Oh My God. No!
Remote: Logik's screen looks good
Me: stop. duh!

My mate Vince is me Thomas McMillan
*Puts in new panel, turns on TV and hears* "Neighbours. Everybody needs good neighbours.......".
"Oh crap, it's broken. After all that and the distance and it's broken".
But won’t it just display Australian channels?
And won't the picture be upside down?
I'm so happy too. Maybe time to collect teves like this one. I see them all the time here in Sweden. The panel is like 85% of the teve :)
Can I put the Amazon firestick on your tv pls?
Vince, p l e a s e, when working with something like this. do it on a soft towel. prevents scratches and the sort.
And static electricity could fry the circuitry
Can you do more challenge yourself videos
There are lots and lots of cool things you can do with the broken panel Vince. Make sure to check the videos from DIY Perks
That 'wood grain tape' looks like cabinet/drawer liner.
Idea, cut a piece of plexiglass that can go over the screen to help protect it.
Personally, I would mod this TV to have an IEC connector on the back instead of only having a fixed power lead. It's easily done, all you have to do is dremel out a hole big enough to mount the connector in the back panel and connect the included power cable to the backside of the IEC connector.
Nice one Michael!.. Thx
You should read the LCD panel model number and most likely it is available. Don't look for the TV's brand and model number only.
if you pick the TV up from the back and put your hands only under the plastic piece on the front and on the front a little bit also only on the plastic piece to keep it from getting dropped it shouldn't break again if you need to move it, that is how i carry my 1280x1024 VGA 19 inch HP monitor and it has not broken yet which is good because it's very old so i probably wont be able to find new parts for it too
Cool Video your my mate. Hello from switzerland :-)
Today (25.07.2020) there is one in the UK on eBay for sale :)
