My wife waters plants that are on a shelf above and behind the TV. I'm quite relaxed about it because she won't be told, so if she wrecks the TV I'll get a new, bigger and better, one. TV that is.
You comment is very triggering and you should at least speak a bit common sense to the people you are living with having water near any electronics is always silly maybe you should ask your partner would they use a hairdryer while in the bath or shower I guarantee the response you would get is no and it’s a silly thing to ask them well the same applies to them watering plants above a tv it makes no sense
@instahawk8422 He said she won't be told. Since he presumably lives with her, I believe him. A lot of people who get triggered will also not be told.😊
Our lads , a few years ago used to vape in our back room. We thought it better than smoking. No way. After a while, all surfaces in the room were covered in a sticky residue. Even the windows attracted it, had to clean them weekly. We banned them from smoking at all in the house. No problems since.
Any house that has smokers, coal / log fires and is damp will all cause conductive films to develop on parts that won't tollerate any contamination. Back in the CRT days, touch sensitve controls were very susceptible to this. When customers complained of a dim weak picture i would spray screen cleaner across the top of the tube and watch their faces as this slowly went down the screen to reveal clean glass under the gunge,
Once had a customer who complained about bright pach on the screen me been me said well that the only clean part , I got a good talking to but I was proved wright soo as cleand it.
Is that right? Because I have smoked for 30 years, use a coal fire daily and my house is a listed building with quite a bit of damp. I've never had a problem with any electronics, never mind the TV. Considering I run over 20 consoles, video scalers, electronic and manual switchers, guitar amps, a PC and many other things around 4 foot away from the fire while smoking in the seat beside them, I say you are factually incorrect. My current TV is 7 years old and is fine. My oldest console is from 1987 and is fine. Typical anecdotal response.
This is probably caused by somebody that doesn’t know how to clean screens properly spraying the water on the screen and letting it run down and then wiping it instead of spraying under the cloth
The SPDIF transciever (FibreOptic) light stays on when "passthrough" is active in the tv settings. This allows you to hear sound from a device (eg Sky box) that is plugged into the TV's input (usually only HDMI 1) when the TV is on standby if you are using an external SPDIF amplifier. ;)
@allen it's not from vapes I've seen it before if the TV is near a radiator some people put gasses of water in their radiator. Can also be from those electric oil burners.
Perhaps it was sat next to an air conditioner and was being splattered by condensate from the cold air? The geometry of a modern flat screen doesn’t exactly lend itself to the old problem of leakage from the potted palm people used to perch on top of a traditional CRT TV !! … or perhaps someone was particularly determined to balance a vase of flowers?🙄
Drying washing on radiators can lead to high humidity around the tv vents. Vapes produce non-conductive glycol vapour that should not cause any shorts. Perhaps the house is also poorly ventilated (Gen Z types!)
I had a moth trapped inside my Samsung TV. Between the backlights and the prism diffuser. It died after a few days but you could still see it's dead body. I think it got in through one of the holes for the stand legs and managed to get through one of the gaps in the metal structure. The set had been bought from John Lewis. They sent an engineer. He took it away and brought it back minus the moth. Quite surprised they covered it. With my new TV I covered the leg holes with black tape when I fitted it on the stand. Strange but true story.
My cars infotainment system changes channels, its a pain in the ***. My previous car did it too and my sons does it, seems to be a common problem on VW based cars. I thought it might be a switch or something because there are controls on the steering wheel which of course turns. Keep up the videos luv watching even though I have no intention of trying to repair tv's myself, too old now and eyesight not good enough...lol. Thats a lot of water in there too ?
Personally i think the owner has had a diffuser under the tv as that is wer the moisture is, i had the same problem, moved the diffuser and hit the sensor board with a hairdryer after cleaning the board
pollution maker smelly fog thingy. glycerin residue maybe. i just dunk small stuff in ipa. i cant stand the stuff. man...... gen z stuff. now they on flavoured AIR. 😂
Deoxit (D100L) might have helped with the deposits in that connector in your last step. Seems expensive when looking at how little you get in the smallest size, but it goes a long, long way. Just a light swipe with the very tiny brush usually does the trick.
Another nice easy fix Allen. Great watching the Master at work Regards,

@@instahawk8422it makes way more sense than writing without any periods. Like you do
Of course you are triggered you are not sane

AFAIK vaping doesn't cause moisture to condense like thet. More likely someone was overzealous with the Mr. Sheen aerosol cleaner or something.

Probably the owner spraying a ton of glass cleaner on the screen and it ran down into that area
Vape would not cause that, but vape liquid on user's hands could, or could be an essential oils humidifier under where the TV sits.

@@suchin8524 As you've deduced, no, OP is not correct at all
Piece of advice, do not breathe while watching tv therefore. Caused by vaping = loss of credibility

Someone with a cool mist humidifier , or the funky essential oils smellies humidifiers .

Maybe be sure it's dry on the contacts with a can of compressed air.

very interesting thanks for the video
That was certainly not caused by vaping near the TV.
That is not caused by vaping unless they were using an extremely high powered device and blowing vapour directly at it at close range over many years!
nice fix
pollution maker smelly fog thingy. glycerin residue maybe. i just dunk small stuff in ipa. i cant stand the stuff. man...... gen z stuff. now they on flavoured AIR. 😂
Good fix, never heard of vaping causing wet patches live and learn I guess 😊
Thanks Allen
Absolutely correct you must not vape near a TV
You talking about low wattage vaping or high wattage vaping? What PG/VG ratio?
@@audibell rubbish
This is the guy who posts rubbish videos like the one about LED TVs and then turns off the comments - well at least I got it in HERE.
