What is something you repaired lately? Or maybe something you want help fixing? Thanks for watching!
A small led tv developed perfectly round circles on the screen ranging from about 1 inch to 3 inches on the inside of the glass, not on the exposed surface. I took off the glass tried cleaning it but they are still there. I'm dumbfounded as to how they got there and how to remove them. Other than that, it works perfectly.
@@jeffpitoniak a detach back light lens is your problem.
@@edwinamazona5474 so the glass is ruined?
Someone give me tv any there a few I a middle vertical lines( dead pixels maybe) . Could you please tell me how I can fixed it ?
Please tell me how to this my flat TV screen my flat tv is Called scaptre my husband by new flat tv screen
Bruh you literally said "with just a screwdriver" and then brought out the entire workshop lol
Shockingly to the point avoiding the unnecessary rambling of most TH-cam repairers. Subbed.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
@@FrugalRepair can you purchase a screen if it is damaged , somewhere on the internet? Or is the tv junk at that point?
I like how you only used a screw driver, multimeter ,flux, and a hot air station.
And a PC with browser to Ebay and his electricity to power hot air station, lights, TV, etc. LOL
And a human body..., brains and ability to read and use his hands
And think logically.
ha
It’s frugalrepair! What do you expect?❤
Some, all or equivalent substitute tools could be bought for super cheap. So there's still a large turnaround.
Think. 25. Maybe 50 bucks. To repair a TV that costs probably 3000. 🧠
Even the 100 for a replacement board is a fraction.
I’ve fixed three TVs this exact same way. Thanks for documenting the repair process so well.
Congrats!
When I was a kid I went to a man who fixed TVs with TUBES - he taught me how to TEST TUBES when every QUIK TRIP & 7 ELEVEN store had a Tube-Tester box and I fixed tv's for many years ! As an adult I got a job fixing machines in a factory - retired I fix desk-top computers - enjoy FIXING ! :-)
If someone complains about your infrequent videos or something about not doing anything major I'd like to be first in like to sock em'. This is a practical logical actual repair. If a technician were given this TV they would charge much more than the mere $100 you put into the first iteration. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thanks for the support! If there are any complaints, I'll send them your way, lol.
I've always been that guy who will attempt to fix it before discarding and paying for new. From cars to windows, cell phones, vcr's and of course tvs. Thank you for your service to educate. These types of videos save money and produce less volume in a landfill.
Awesome man! Great vid. Reminds me of the old BFG computer video cards that shipped with bad soldering jobs.
_The fix - was bake them in the oven at 350._ 😁
I have just come here to say thank you for your great videos❤, I fixed my tv at home, for which technician was charging huge sum. I never thought before I could fix it, but I did it. Thanks a ton ❤ love from India ❤
Great to hear!
I like the way you explain things so people can understand good job my friend
Thanks!
Really good documentation. 👍👍
Great video as always. I fixed a free TV from watching your Channel for $20 dollars. Thanks again
Thanks and congratulations on that repair!
saved a m75-c1 this morning. thanks for the help!
Awesome to hear! Congratulations
I think the coefficient of thermal expansion is different between the chip that gets hot, and the board it's soldered to. This slight difference in thermal expansion causes a stress fracture over time in the relatively weaker solder that bonds the two components together.
Very helpful. Thanks
I just love these kind of videos 🤩
Thanks for watching!
love it! great video!
Ok, I'm Impressed 👍💯 Just the kinda thing I like doing also
This guy started by saying the thing I need fixed can't be fixed, love that
Thank you for another great video and a cheap repair.
Thanks for watching!
@@FrugalRepairbig shout out from here in Australia mate.I've fixed many tv's and enjoy watching your videos,you explain your repairs in such a good way that anyone of any skill level could give the repairs a go.Well done mate keep the videos coming 👍
I have the same tv and been having the same problem for three years now. I throw the board in the oven at 385 for 10-15 minutes about twice a year. There seems to be a 90% fail rate on the m series from Vizio and some of those parts are interchangeable with lg models (e.g., t-con board and power boards.
I'd call it a fix. BTW like your style in this video. It assumes we have enough basic knowledge to want to attempt this repair to begin with &yup last Summer someone was chucking a big TV like this out .if I get to fix it S C O R E !!! Thanks for this encouraging and straight forward video repair in under 8 minutes ! Peace
Thanks! I hope you can get it working!
I like this because this is one of my hobbies, cool...very inspiring👈
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching!
Great Video! I have 2 broken 55" one with broken screen and one who working from cold condition but stop working after some time use and don't start again before rested to cold again. I had a idea to swap part between the 2 TVs since they where from same manufacturer and about same age, but since the one was smart tv and the other not all inside was different, even the connector to the screen panel. Any idea what could be reason and fix for the tv who close down after some time use?
I just fixed an old 16inch LCD TV just by replacing the power/lcd inverter board. Easy! Thanks to your inspiring and informative videos I had the confidence and enough knowhow to work out what was wrong. Many thanks
Wow, that’s great to hear! Congratulations.
T-CON stands for 'Tiny Control'? lol
I pull these TVs from curbs all the time, I am blown away how casually people toss them. Usually the worst problem I have with the TVs is no remote. And even if there is a cracked screen, plug it in anyway, there's usually what looks like abstract art on the screen. I have used those as uniquely creative table tops lots of times and they last for a couple years, even if you purposely keep cracking the screen.
At times, I have had 50+ inch TVs in every single room of the house, including the bathroom and hallway, just because I could (until the next months electrical bill brought that to a screeching halt.).
Thank you
I have an 4k philips with one side more bright than the other not dark only little more dimmed. Do you have a tips cheers?😀 what to check
Good day thank you for your support
I have this mi 50inch android tv. But suddenly I discovered a dark blurry colour almost cover the screen but I don't know that really went wrong and what can I do to fix it. Thanks
My 55'' Toshiba TV quit working one day. I took the back off and replaced the fuse on the circuit board. Still working over three years later 😃
Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
In the repair world it would be considered a bandaid. Reflowing got a bad rap because people would do the same on GPUs for computers and call it fixed. But the problem with GPUs were mostly bad chips. There isn't any real way of knowing if the chip itself is bad or if it's potentially cracked joints underneath from warping. So the safest options is usually just replace the chip or the entire board.
2011 MacBook GPU is an infamous one. You could technically know if it’s the solder balls versus a bond wire in the chip if you have access to an X-ray inspection machine. =)
@@FrugalRepair Xbox 360 as well, and yes true. It would be interesting to see how many are actually bad chips though, but it's not worth the time for most people. Which is a shame.
@@TM-op7zb actually we're not just talking time it's cash flow as well.
Not to many people are interested in fixing things anymore since we're a throw away society most items cost as much to repair as it does replace the exception is us few who are vested in the trade.
@@red2965 I would say cash flow is usually not going to be an issue for most of these "throwaway" electronics. Of all the laptops, TVs, motherboards I've repaired it's been a regulator, MOSFET, etc for the most part. Something that's been 50 cents to $1 from AliExpress(occasionally Digikey for me) or free from salvage. The time it takes to figure out the fault/do the repair and wait weeks for parts usually only available from China is what most people don't want to do.
@@TM-op7zb only the diy can make that statement of you put it in the shop it isn't worth fixing because It generally cost as much as a replacement one these days it isn't like the old days tube goes out it was pretty easy to figure out then came solid state then it's all on a micro chip and thousands of dollars for equipment to diagnose issues then there's the problematic schematic issue since companies want to be secretive.
Stepping away for a second the KIA is a good example.
First time watching your video. Great fix/band aid.. Thanks for sharing. 73, Joe K4JGA JGA Electronic Repair Center
Thanks for watching!
Hello brother, I have a Sony KD75XG8096 tv and it’s working properly but in the middle of the display has one thick vertical black line. How do I fix it? Do you have any videos regarding this? Thanks
I have a 32” tv . When I turn it on it says no signal and turns off. I think I did something with the remote to cause this problem. What do you think?
I wondered if you could add / mount a cooling fan. Thanks for a great video! And I subbed!
Thanks for watching and the sub!
@@FrugalRepair very welcome! 🤓 Is it really worth it to replace the LED / LCD screen on TVs ranging from 43" to 50"? Have a Vizio 50" (smart, 4K) & an LG 43" 4K. The Vizio works but the screen is messed up/damaged. Think the LG has a backlight problem. Thank you 🤓
If you have an extra lcd assembly it’s probably worth it since it is not that hard but I doubt you can buy one anywhere. If there is a crack in the lcd then you can’t fix it. Many other issues though have a fix or a hack you can do to get it working. Did you watch my fix with tape videos? That may help give you clues on things you can try
@@FrugalRepair yes I watched your "tape fix" video! 🤓 I don't have an extra LCD assembly. For a kind of hobby, I look in certain dumpsters, curbside stuff, asking people moving out of houses, apartments, etc, looking for laptops, PCs, Chromebooks, tablets, etc. My regular job is a warehouse (we sell gym equipment) worker. The business next to ours (a recording studio) had a defective LG 43" 4K TV, and gave it to me. The other TV, the Vizio 50", was a dumpster find. I actually don't normally take TVs, due to size.
@@FrugalRepair some time ago a neighbor gave me a Sony PS3 (working) & a Dell Latitude laptop (also works!) I want a TV (flat screen) for the PS3.
thanks for sharing. Quick Question: how do you know how much volts you should have from each cable?
Thanks for watching! Most of the time the main voltages are printed on the main board connectors. The signaling lines are usually around 3v.
Hello mate i have a philips tv and it is old mad like in 2014-2015 and i am having a problem finding the horizontal and vertical connector to the display and the blurr and stuff stops when the tv is still.
I’d call it a bandaid. That said it’s better than a broken tv. Improving the cooling is the only way I see it being an indefinite fix
Your msg is always valuable.. I have normal LED TV which is getting switch off every 15-30mints automatically. Then I need wait sometime to make it work.. I have checked sleep timer which is ok .. any advise plz?
Could be a lot of things. Seems heat related though. First try turning down the backlight brightness and see if it lasts longer. If the backlights are not the issue, try taking the back cover off and putting a fan blowing air directly on to the main board and see if it lasts longer. Look at any capacitors on the power supply for damage. Some thoughts to get started
Hi
I got a question !!
My tv used to work properly but it just stopped working one week ago
Don't know what's wrong with it
When you plug it it does not turn on
Hi, I hope you see this, I have a TCL 32 inch Roku smart tv, I think my sensor went bad, I am unable to fix it myself, what advice do you have? Al
I appriciate your teaching your teaching. I'm having an issue with my RCA rwosu5549 model, dark screen, however if you focus flash light on screen there is a picture . please helo.
Your LED backlight is out. Check out my latest video for a trick you can try.
Just glue 8cm 12V PC 2-wire Fan in a strategic point for air circulation, and solder to the USB (+) and (-) (pin 1 and 4 ) . Test. It will be quiet and work only when the TV is ON.
bro what if my crystal samsung tv 65 inch has crack but it still works fine and only leds needs change?
I've repaired TVs by switching out diodes that were obviously bad swollen and I've rewet solder connections on boards, but I have a question about my newest curb TV that said " works but no remote" Well, that wasn't true, at least the part about "works" anyway. So I wiped it off and plugged it in, looking for the standby ready light which did light up. Next I tried to find the control buttons on the outside of it which to my amazement, there were none except for a large power button underneath the standby light. So I pushed it and for a split second the screen had a flash of light go across it and that was it, after that the standby light started blinking. I'm sure this all means something, but I don't know what. Can I get some ideas from you? I look at it as a challenge to fix if it's fixable 🤔
Great to hear you are fixing things! For that TV it could be a bunch of things. My first thought is the led backlight shorting out. I'd check for the main voltage rails, and then start disconnecting cables to diagnose where the problem is. For example, you can disconnect the backlight and see if you still get the blinking indicator light.
Hi FrugalRepair. My LG 48in Oled fell over while reorganizing my room about 2 feet on the screen, and it made a crack less than 2 inches on the top right corner with a small indentation. Red light is on and blinks when i try to turn it on but no picture. So, is my $1200 tv completely toast now? I've been so upset over this and still making payments on it. If there are any suggestions at all or ways to fix it, or repaired rather than replacing the whole tv it would make my day. Thanks for the vids, I enjoy them.
I wish I could give you a secret but it sounds like the screen is cracked and you can’t fix a cracked screen. I’m sorry! You can sell the internal boards on eBay to recoup a little.
very cool 😁
Thanks for watching!
Good sr
May God bless you bro
Hey I found your videos while trying to troubleshoot my ASUS PG65UQ.. do you know if there is a fix for this? I cant add reddit link here, but in short the display started to display faint grey horizontal lines all over the screen.. very harsh when 144Hz enabled but now I get them when turning the monitor on at 120Hz.. but after 30minutes it kinda dissipates.. very strange.
Not sure, sounds like a faulty capacitor or another smd component
@@FrugalRepair Yeah.. thought they use long term capacitors.. I member fixing my old 52" TV that didnt turn on anymore by soldering on new capacitors.. but this problem is visual. I left a thread on Reddit with a screenshot in "Monitors" Reddit
Now if someone could give me a 75 inch broken TV! 🤣
What would you suggest if you had a new 58 inch Hisense tv never used in storage and you finally got it out of storage after a year and it won’t turn on No led lights or anything working ?
I’d go through the usual diagnostic steps. I have some steps in my free ebook that you can try.
Wow, great video. I tried to fix a samsung tv but ran into an issue after replacing a power board. The bottom is darker shaded (not black). Have you heard of this?
Thanks for watching! I’m not sure I understand but maybe it’s part of the backlight not getting power. Like maybe a connector on the power supply isn’t plugged in all the way?
Yay another Visio TV
I picked up a 60 inch tv and no start condition. Found selector switch on rear with shorts. Ran current through it and conditioned the contacts and it worked again. If they would have spent about ten cents and used pull up resistors the contacts would stay clean.
Congratulations on the repair!
my 85' tv sony crack the screen from inside, how can i fix it?? tv works
I have a vizio E390i-B1E . I was told it had no picture. The first time I tried it I got a picture but it was dim. Next time I tried it no picture. I pulled the main board out and took the heat gun to it. I just put it back in and have the dim picture again. What would cause the dim picture? I have played with the brightness. It would work ok in a dark room.
Not sure if the dimness is from the LED backlight or you are meaning an issue with the LCD screen / picture. Did you happen to watch my videos on fixing a tv with tape? You can try to do the isolation technique that I showed to give you clues on if the issue is on the LCD or not.
This is great! I need help. The LCD screen on my tv has a crack. The tv screen is I just fine but when I turn the tv on the picture has a crack on it 😢 what do I do?
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, you can’t fix a cracked screen. You can sell the internal boards on ebay, that’s about the best option. I’m sorry.
What is the cause of static noise from tv? I got a 65in Panasonic plasma. It makes a buzzing electric noise. I tried disconnecting the hdmi cable to see if its outside interference but the hiss is still there.
That could be anything, really. If the noise is coming from the speakers, it’s likely a problem on the main board. But if not, sometimes you can get close enough with your ear to hear which board has the buzzing part on it.
Hello, my LG smart TV has a normal picture, but if you open the apps, everything is negative, and the menu also turns from black to white, what could be the reason?
Hope I'm doing this right but I've never tried to send a message to u. Given to me a vizio e60e3 smart tv. Guy said its got a blue light issue. Everything is blue on screen but excellent quality a d found it may be as easy as a tint correction inside that area where u adjust.
Do you have a y ideas, thoughts? Thank u any help e awesome as wife's medical bills for breast cancer are beating us up.
Gary
Sorry to hear about your wife’s struggles! The first thing I think of for blue tint is the LED coating (to make the light more white in color) has failed and the backlight gives off a blue light. If so, you can either try changing the settings or replace the LED backlight.
2:20 now, with your only tool, the screw driver, you verify the voltages. 😂
Yep, I'm showing you how I do it. If you watch the whole video I explain how you could fix it with just a screwdriver.
@@FrugalRepair I was only joking a little because just a moment after saying that you pull out the multimeter (as in *technically* using two tools) :D
Was a bit funny.
Of course I watched the whole video :)
Thanks for the content!
How how much would you sell that TV for
hey hey hey u said with a screw not a heat gun and some fancy micro wee wee tool that measures voltage.
Yeah reflow work but no one can say for how long... I used to do this back in the RROD Xbox days... it would always work but always fail again soon after...
The Board replacement is the correct fix.... and maybe thermal glue a bigger ( wider) heatsink) on it to prevent it from happening again...
Since it's a common failure on these Vizio tv......
Thanks wondering now if that's my problem or the driver if I hold a light up to the screen and I see the picture
You need new back lights, cheap and easy fix.
This is probably a dumb question to someone in the know, but where do you put the negative lead when you are probing the connections with a multimeter? We saw and understood the connectors you were probing with the positive probe but not where you complete the circuit with the negative. Is it just the chassis, the neutral feed on the power cord or something else? Thanks in advance for any help.
Not a dumb question at all. I have the black probe on the metal chassis. I usually have it in a hole in the metal and hang it at an angle so you don’t have to hold the probe. Any metal touching to where the screws to the boards are is good for a negative probe spot.
@@FrugalRepair Many thanks for your quick and detailed response and thank you for your useful videos.
@@watsoft70 I was SO inspired by the videos you've done and I've watched several of them., That I have gone out and collected for 55 inch TVs, hoping to find one that still works actually. I was given a smart TV 55-inch the light blinks twice but no picture it's a Hisense. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with it the red light blinks twice then goes out. If you're anywhere near the Louisville KY area you can have the other TVs if you want. Free, I just want a 55 inch working TV.
Im sorry I meant to send that to the repair guy. I'm really old school and get confused easily.
I picked up a p75-c1 vizio a little over 2 years ago the guy said it wouldn't power on got it home done a few things and got it to power on it lasted me all this time had to buy a new TV last month as I believe something happend with the panel and all the colors looked extremely bad lol but not going to complain vizios make some good tvs
Glad to hear you fixed it and was able to use it. Thanks for sharing.
2013 M60-c3 Vizeo - takes long time (5-10mins) for video to come on. Power light does come on but immediately goes off - I will continue to power on and off with remote -(eventually power light goes from bright to dim - stays on - and video starts working). Only input is from HTPC Onkyo 1030 receiver at HDMI 5 - 4k 60 hertz.
Not sure, might be a similar CPU loosing connection with the board issue. You can try a hair dryer on the main board and see if you can get it to turn on faster than 5 min.
Do you know where to source replacement screens? Have a 4k TV with a broken screen and I think if I replace the screen it'll work again
They aren't for sale anywhere typically. The only way I've been able to replace a screen is to get one from another tv that uses the same panel.
@@FrugalRepair Dang, that's a shame. Thanks for the answer!
my laptop have vertical lines, what should i do to fix.. pls help
I call it a design flaw. But nobody wants fan noise on a TV so this type of issue will continue to occur. I don't see any way of having that type of processing capacity to support 4k and not having a heat issue with only passive cooling
I call it planned obsolesce, if you want passive cooling then all you need is more surface area, thus a larger heat sink, but they want to make it as thin and light as possible, they're probably saving a buck where a little metal would make it last 5+ years longer, plus it's not as if silent or near silent fans don't exist, we use them all the time on laptops, a laptop fan just running at idle would make more than enough of a breeze to make it last longer.
They could have installed a better heatsink, one with ribbons.
I have a computer sitting next to me that has 4 fans running inside of it and I can't hear it. Maybe if I put my ear real close, but right now my ear is about 30 inches away and the room is dead silent.
It's definitely possible to actively cool a TV so you can't hear it, but most people won't maintain it anyway.
Another thing the designers could have added was more vent holes in the plastic housing. Something that happens is that since these tv's just sit there the vent holes at the top get covered in dust and restrict airflow even more.
I need your help!
7:20 Heatsink is not enough.. Nice tutorial sir, good job! -Mario
A lot of failed visios like these have this problem. One way to help these sets last longer is to turn off the quick start mode so it takes longer to start but the board doest stay hot its whole life, and save electricity innthe process. Flux and reflow followed by a nice slow cooling cycle should do the trick.
I don't think this model has quick start but I can check. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@FrugalRepair i reflowed a couple P series Vizios, I think it might be eco mode or QuickStart mode
with the reflow method you did, its a bandaid and that will just be a temporary fix, for how long we dont know, but it will fail eventually
Would you say that if one could add some active cooling? The passive cooling design is clearly not enough.
How much a volt tester
My name is Ben from Ghana. I bought a slightly used Soniq 48" smart TV. After a couple of weeks of using, horizontal lines appeared at the top. Can you help me on what to do to fix it? Can't afford a new one please. It's a 4K TV model number E48FH16A-AU
Try blocking some of the clock signals with tape on one of the ribbon cables going to your lcd screen buffer boards as you may have a short circuit in T con board somewhere. If that doesn't work probably lcd screen is the problem and can't be fixed.good luck
My 65 inch TCL stopped working while i was watching it. The screen is black but i can hear audio and when i turn it on the screen fashes on for a second then goes black and when i shine a light on it i can see image. Should i risk buying the replacement boards? I just dont want to apend that money and be out even more and it not be fixed.. already out 500 dollars on a tv thats 13 months old
Your LED backlight is the problem. You can replace all of the LED strips or try to fix the individual bad LEDs. If you do this, the hardest part is making sure not to crack the lcd screen and keeping the lens and diffusion films as dust free as possible (and in the right order when putting it back together).
But where do you get 75" broken TV's for free though? I would like one too to try my hands on! :D
I’d recommend posting on social media and asking around if someone has a broken TV laying around. There’s always the free groups but many of them are broken screen units. You can also ask a local electronics place (not a big box store) if you can have any customers are turning in.
My TCL Roku TV 65 inch model 65S421 only 2 years old and it has a black screen, but I can if a shine a flashlight on it I can see an image and which says Recovery mode, I followed the prompts and had it updated, but it seems to just go back to Recovery mode. I know it has a backlight problem also. I have tried everything on TH-cam and nothing is working. Pleases help. I have fixed many things, computers, car parts, etc and refuse to give up.
Sorry, I don’t know exactly. There may be a service menu you can gain access to. Worst case you can replace the main board or maybe replace firmware chip. And then you can fix the backlight.
@@FrugalRepair Thanks!
what if there's cracks internally?
I do have 75” tv got horizontal line on the top of it comes and goes
I would like to send you five second video to see what I’m talking about
Where did you connect the COM lead?
I don’t know what that means.
@@FrugalRepair You were using the red lead to poke around and test for voltage but you didn't show. where the black lead was making contact on the board.
Ok, gotcha. The black probe was on the metal frame of the tv. I usually stick it in a hole so it's touching the metal housing. Or I'll touch it to a screw in the corner of the PCB board since that is a known ground/reference point.
I need more video sr
I got a 55 inch Vizio 3D TV I had a problem with the speaker he came and changed the speaker but when he changed it he picked it up the TV up and moved it without the back being on and now I have colors going everywhere. It was working great all he was to do was to change the speaker could it be he ruined the set maybe the screen got twisted from picking it up and moving it without the back on
Try reseating the cables to the lcd. Hopefully he didn’t mess it up
@@FrugalRepair thank you I'll give it a try
I literally fixed my cheap $200 Sceptre tv by replacing a few popped capacitors for $10. An i fixed my Samsung tv by taking it apart, not seeing anything visual, plugged it in checked some voltages not knowing what needs to be what. An started poking at the power button cable and accidently jumped 2 connectors and it turned on my backlight. So in the end my power cable somehow loosened up to the point it wouldn't power on the tv. LOL Can't believe I almost threw it out.
Great job on the repairs!
Can I get appointment in message you to ask the remedies
For reheating the processor it will probably last for a month. With an added fan probably 6months. Its better to buy a new board.
This reminds me of fixing my Xbox 360 by wrapping a towel around it and letting it run. Same issue lol.
This is a nice idea, but it'll cost me about 3-$400 to fix as I have no tools other then a ratcheting Screw Driver and an Ifixit Pro Tech Toolkit.
This is exactly what is happening to me!But the screen has a tiny crack, will light up but won’t turn on. It’s a $1k tv and I’d like to try to save it!
The crack may be the problem. Did you watch the tape trick videos? Maybe you can see if the uncracked half will display an image.
Lol laptop heatsink’ don’t make me laugh 😂
I know, can you imagine what that laptop might look like. =)
I laughed, L🤣L
Well I can use a hair dryer and heat up the chip and then hold it down to make it fully connected that's the free fix and then it will turn on
We had a Element tv with a shorted screen and I fixed it
Congratulations on the repair!
@@FrugalRepairthank you!
My LG TV 65 turns on but all I see is WHITE FLASHig light all in Black no picture, what could this mean?
Not sure, could be a whole bunch of things, you need to track down the issue. My pdf (its free) could give you some clues.
Always thought it was cheaper to buy a new one then fix
