Your video bring me back at youtube in 2010, I like it because is from a man who documentary his diy job to show us how to fix problem like that. Thx man, its really helping me 👍🏻
Hello Joe, I really like your video because everything is done with great care showing each step in a clear and interesting way. I repaired my Samsung 75 inches which had 2 white dots. Once disassembled, I checked all the LED lenses and found 2 that had fallen off plus 19 others that could be removed just by brushing them with my finger. So I glued these 21 lenses back together with B-7000 glue. Then after 36 hours I checked and all the lenses had been glued. Then after reassembling the TV without breaking anything, I turned on the TV and I noticed that the 2 white dots from before the repair were no longer there, but that I had 2 new white dots and in addition that I had lots of slightly confused white spots everywhere. I displayed on my screen an all-white image (JPG) with a USB key, and it was with the all-white screen that I was able to realize that these slightly confused white spots were located precisely everywhere where I had made the 21 repairs. For this I compared with another image taken during the repair which shows the position of the lenses at the time of the repair. Here is my question: Do you think I miscentered the lenses or the glue overflowed onto the LED or all of these at the same time? Or maybe it was the green adhesive tapes I used to hold the lenses in place while drying that caused a deposit on the white plastic around the LEDs? I have to say that trying to properly position these lenses by sticking them on the LED without putting glue on them is really not easy because they do not have a locking system to show where they should be positioned... I would have liked to send you my 2 images that show the dots and white spots and my 21 repaired lenses, but I do not know if it is possible and if so I do not know how to do it... Thank you if you can give me your opinion on all this...
Here are my thoughts: #1. If the lens itself is cracked or burnt, light won't diffuse properly... If the tape left any adhesive residue on the reflector sheet, light may bounce off of it oddly... if the glue spilled over onto the reflector sheet, when dry it hardens and or crystallizes, that too may deflect light oddly... if the lens bulb is off center, light doesn't diffuse properly... if glue covered the LED, that's a problem... if glue got on the bulb lens rather than just the peg ends, light may bounce off of it oddly... not sure if the glue you used was a problem... considering you had that many, there may be indications that other systems are beginning to fail as well (I've heard of pixel failure which doesn't display light and color correctly) and yes, I too wasn't fond of the lens design mechanism either. There was too much leeway for misalignment. #2. the cheapest approach to solving the problem is to re-glue the fallen lenses BUT even that has inherent risk because how many of us have had practice taking apart TV's, right? #3. The low cost DIY approach would be to replace the "entire bulb strips" after you've ordered the new sets. After you found that many (21) loose bulbs, the probability of getting them all on correctly was doubtful for ALL of the reasons you listed being suspicious AND there's obviously a looming problem anyway with the failing glue on the remaining lenses. I had a reference in my description to a business that sells replacement strips. This too though has risks because you still need to take apart and reassemble the TV correctly without breaking anything else in the process. #4. You take it to a professional repair shop and have them do it. (Which they will do exactly what #3 is, in addition to running other troubleshooting diagnostics but at least their work is guaranteed); however, nowadays, the labor, parts and repair cost MAY BE close the cost of a new TV anyway. Which leads us to #5. people chuck it and buy a new TV! #6. When I made this video, I had no idea this many people were experiencing the same problem. SAMSUNG or any other brand should take note of this common problem and correct it or is it just a matter of systems and parts eventual breakdown? The consumer wants quality and durability. #7. I agree with the lenses being difficult to properly center. Although I had 3 lens pegs to fit into 3 peg holes, there was no locking or snapping into place mechanism or solid fit when I put them back into place. Basically, a judgement call and keeping your fingers crossed. As I mentioned at the end of my video, if I were to do it all over again, I would go the extra steps and buy the replacement bulb strips. YOU may still want to consider that as an option and replace the entire backlight strips but then again, if you've had your TV for some time, other systems might be starting to fail. You certainly know how to take the TV apart now. The extra steps I only referenced in my video, (other videos may show it all), where you release the locking mechanism, remove the last white reflector sheet and gain access to the bulb strips. They can all be removed somehow and then replaced. #8. You certainly sound like you did your diligence, sorry to hear of your results. Thank you for reaching out and being very cordial in commenting.
That's FANTASTIC and great execution on your combined efforts. The world is a better place when people help each other out. Thanks for posting such a positive comment, CHEERS.
Great Job, this invited me to go ahead and do the repair myself- THX a lot for your time! I am asking myself if all the things like speakers etc. have to be unmounted? Regards Ralf
Omg this is exactly what my 14 month old Samsung TV is doing... I just bought a new one last month that I haven't opened yet but this is good news. I hope this fixes my TV. Thank you for posting this video!!
My TV with the issue is model tu-8000 crystal HD led TV. It's 75". Posting this in case anyone has same issues. I will be taking mine apart this week and I'll post back with my results
Appreciate this video so much... White spots appearing about once a month on a ten year old Samsung 60 inch. Great TV otherwise, so I followed your video and disassembled last night. About ten lenses were off and another ten or so came free at the slightest touch. With my poor gluing skills I'm going the other route and ordered the LED strips. Should work like a charm -- fingers crossed -- hoping to save a good $700 on a new TV thanks to your video. Cheers!
With that many bulbs off and or loose, I'm surprised you didn't have permanent white spots but I agree with your approach to replacing the entire strips vs trying to glue that many back on correctly. Hopefully, that's the only issue you have on a ten year old TV and the low cost fix works. Good Luck.
@@notyouraveragejoe855 Thanks - I guess I won't know about permanent white spots until everything is reassembled and turned on in the moment of truth... For what it's worth, the glass and sheets seem fine, and if I'm replacing the entire strips, LEDs and lenses all, I'm optimistic there's nothing else that could have been damaged that I'll be stuck with. My reassembly skill worry me the most. I didn't start writing down notes until about half way through. Thanks again for the great video.
You stated that about 10 lenses were already off when you opened up your TV; yet, you only had white spots once a month. That surprises me that you didn't have 10 white spots glowing whenever you turned it on. I start to wonder if there's any other issues at cause (pixel deterioration?) but I still like your approach. Let me know how it turns out, cheers Daniel.
@@notyouraveragejoe855 I misspoke - they're definitely on all the time when the TV is on. It's been one new white spot appearing each month as they started falling off about once a month until I couldn't take it any more and started researching.
Thanks Coop but just remember what I said in the beginning, you must be willing to sacrifice your TV if it doesn't work out. I don't guarantee success but I was willing to try it because my problem didn't involve repairing the circuit boards, electrical components or the ribbon strips. Before you get started, if you can tilt your TV side to side and hear parts sliding around, that's a probable indication that the bulbs have fallen off and perhaps hopefully, the only reason for the white spot lighting. Regardless, you will learn plenty along the way. I wish you success, cheers.
@@notyouraveragejoe855 No worries Joe. Prices were low enough that I bought a new one. If i get this one working again, I will give it to someone who needs it. I can see that these things are very labor intensive to fix. Thus the reason for the high cost of repair.-Coop
good job and well done on the info. just found one in the alley and after plugging it in, noticed the same problem, also heard something rolling around inside, otherwise works fine. looks like a future project for me. 👍
Thanks! This tutorial guided me through every step on a 75" Samsung. Some issues with getting the thin bezels to fit tightly together but the white spots are gone!
This is such a great video and helped me fix my TV thanks so much! I learnt a lot about your approach to jobs like this too, keeping notes, labelling pots with screws etc! Keep up the great work, cheers!
Hi Joe, Thanks for the great video. We did the whole process with our Samsung and even though it was very fiddly getting the glue on the tiny prongs on the lenses it has seemed to work a treat. But we have now noticed some black cloudy areas on the tv along the top and down one side- so obviously we’ve done something wrong putting the tv back together. Any ideas as to what’s happened and what we can do?
I wish I did so I could further assist you but I don't. Like you referenced, something wasn't done right but what? You may want to check that all circuit boards are fully clipped in, not hanging and are not bent or pinched anywhere. Are the two wide ribbon tapes fully inserted up to the dotted line and clicked in? You may want to double check your notes and compare to the video again and see if you missed anything, replaced out of order or something wasn't properly aligned or fully clipped in. If you find the solution, let me know... good luck.
you kind sir gave me the courage to open mine up...unfortunately for me all bulbs were in place (bought the tv second hand,i'm suspecting they changed the leds,so what else could be causing the white spots?maybe they forgot to add 1 deflector?)
Before you opened up your TV, you could have tilted it side to side / back n forth to hear and listen for the fallen lenses sliding around inside. If you didn't hear anything, that could have been an early indicator that perhaps your specific white light spotted halo problem may be due to something else; unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable enough to help you... BUT, I have seen other troubleshooting videos on YTube that point out other options to try to fix the white light problem. You'll have to do your own research and see if any of those options solve the problem. Another thought to consider though is that even if the bulbs are re-glued on, if they're not perfectly centered, they may not reflect the light properly and thus, you still get the halo effect. This is one reason why I also mentioned in the video, you can take it one step further and buy replacement "bulb strips" that come already assembled. Otherwise, you may want to contact the second hand store and talk to them. Sorry I could not be of more help, good luck and thanks for stopping by.
Excellent step by step instructions for this job. Obviously, the factory did not use the best glue for these to say on to withstand the years of heat generated by the use of the TV. This video uses "loctite super glue" but a disclaimer to not be sure if this glue is the best to use. Other videos use other glues. Anyone know the best glue for these to permanently stay on? I only want to do this job once.
I hear you on only doing it once; hopefully, a professional TV repair specialist can reply. Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate (ECA) is the primary active ingredient in most superglues but you do want to look for an adhesive that can bond plastic to metal and withstand heat. The lens is hard plastic and the 3 plastic prongs are glued to some sort of metal but it's not a snap in fit. You also have to center the lens and make sure no glue covers the center light diode; otherwise, the repair may not work. You can bypass all of the glue concerns by taking the extra removal steps (only mentioned in the video) and buying / replacing the entire bulb strips that come preglued. I referenced a contact in my description. Sadly, I was amazed at how often this problem of fallen lenses is occurring on TV's. I wish you well on your project, thanks for stopping by.
Nice video. Not all super glues work either, I tried gorilla super glue, and it would not bond to this plastic. It did manage to leave white residue that I had a hard time getting off. I switched to hot glue, used in other video and that got them back in. I also busted the clips for the speakers that were surprisingly brittle, but glued them back into place. I did still manage to crack my screen in the corner somehow, after putting the screen back together, just vertical bars and the glaring obvious damage. To add insult the bright spot was still there, so I guess the lenses need to be very accurately placed to diffuse properly. Not too big a deal, gives me an excuse to upgrade to a newer HDR model.
I too realized after disassembling the parts, just how fragile so many of them are. In regards to my screen and working solo, I was very concerned about using suction cups (which is how I saw other videos doing it with smaller screens or they had an assistant) when moving it which is why I used the heavy duty cardboard under it for better weight distribution and support. Still, when you reattach the outer black frame bezel over it, you can crack the screen clipping it in even if you are careful. In regards to the lens placement, that's another roll of the dice when you put it all back together and turn it back on... how well did you center it and does it diffuse light properly? Well, you gave it a shot but also learned something in the process. Thanks for commenting.
thanks so much for this video. You did an incredible job! But I do no recommend using super glue. it did not work for me. It didn't hold, and I accidentally got some on my fingers, and then it got on the diffusers and made them a little cloudy. After trying it on 2 of them, I switched to clear 5 minute clear epoxy from Harbor Freight for the other 5 that were loose. Also it worked better for me to take a toothpick and put the glue into those 3 round spots rather than on the bottom of the disc. Plus be careful and do not let any of the glue "string" onto that middle area. My spots did not completely disappear, but they are not as bright. They may have disappeared had I not gotten the smudges from the super glue on the 2 diffusers. Thanks again for all the work you put in making this video.
Hi Thomas. I appreciate the comment and sharing your experience while providing viewers alternative options to the application of accomplishing the task.
@@notyouraveragejoe855 Thank you, i tried it yesterday. All went well just up until the reassembly of the bezel. Apparently the screen was too close or too tight in a corner that when i clicked on the bezel, the screen broke in that corner. But, i think that the "suns" have burned into the screen because some of them were still visible afterwards. It was my parents TV and they've already bought a new one. They 've been watching for years on that TV and didn't see those 10 "suns" anymore. But, my pain was real, it was just a last try to fix the TV and my daughter hoped i could salvage the TV for her. But, thanks again! without the crack it would have been a succesfull fix. Is it possible the "suns" burned the screen?
Sorry to hear of that result. I even mentioned that particular concern at 15:21 when trying to replace the frame bezel over the screen... but, things happen right? It's not like any of us are TV repair professionals with years of experience. Another possibility is that if you don't properly center the re-glued bulb lens or you get glue on the center diode, it may not diffuse light correctly and thus, you still have a sun halo effect. The fact that you had 10 to get right is quite a chore over just 1 or 2. In regards to "burn in, screen burn, image burn," or as you called it "suns" being burned into the screen, (I'm no professional but) yes, I do believe there can be an appearance of that but it may not technically be that. It may be due to certain parts wearing out or no longer functioning properly and thus, gives off the appearance of a "burned" image. If that's the case, I don't think you can do anything about it. This topic is beyond my knowledge but I think it deals with degeneration of the pixels, the types of bulbs used or LED's, the LCD screen, and how light is generated and for how long. 1) If the bulbs had fallen off and your parents continued to watch the TV, the concentrated light source is no longer being diffused properly and could result in the "burn" image. 2) Although I've read that LED (light emitting diodes) apparently use less power and produce less heat than earlier model TV's, screens and bulb-light types, I've seen backlighting TV videos on TH-cam that have caught on fire. Is it due to excessive heat or an electrical issue or other? If it's not heat, then WHY are so many people experiencing fallen lenses from failed glue? Is it the type of bright light that wears down the glue, like sunlight destroys plastics? 3) Having a still screen or logo image on for hours (pausing a video game or screen saver for example) may lead to pixel degradation and thus, the "burn" image. And finally, to my limited knowledge... 4) Because these new TV's produce such amazing colors and bright lights, you probably want to adjust the brightness level way down. Having a bright TV on all day, day after day, let alone if it's in a warm/humid environment, seems to not only degrade the glue faster but also possibly fries the pixels and produces that burned looking image. Thank you for being cordial with your update, too bad it didn't work out and congratulations to Belgium for winning 10 medals (cycling, athletics, and fighting) during the 2024 Olympics.
Hi great video pal. When you fitted your first bezel is that just for the white screens and when putting on the top bezel what happens with them flappy bits at the side do they just tuck in.
After I replaced the two white sheets (thick heavy and thin fitment), the 4 flimsy thin black bezels will clip in holding the two white sheets in place (refer to video time of 11:50-14:00). The LED/LCD TV screen will follow and rest on top of and be centered over the bezeled white sheets. In regards to your mention of "top bezel and flappy bits at the side"... can you be more specific? Are you referring to the TV frame bezel and circuit boards? After the TV screen is centered, you will attach, (14:45 gently clip in and then screw in 5 screws) the black outer one piece Frame Bezel. The circuit boards still hang out of the way. At 15:32, is when I prepared to flip the TV over (yes, I placed the circuit boards up under the sheath strips to protect them when flipping the TV over but I didn't fully clip them in yet. If you can secure them before flipping the TV over, that's your option). I chose to secure them in after flipping the TV over. The main issue here is that you don't want to damage the circuit boards during the flip over. I hope that helps.
If you don't want to risk getting the re-glued bulbs on just right (which is free to attempt), then take the extra steps (undo the locking mechanism and remove the last reflector sheet, not shown but mentioned at 10:20 in my video) and buy "$" the replacement bulb strips that already come with glued on bulbs. You just remove and replace the entire strip of bulbs. I wish you well on your project, take notes, and be patient in the process but also, be willing to buy a new TV if it doesn't work out... Good Luck.
There are other options but Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate (ECA) is the primary active ingredient in most superglues. Loctite also makes extreme epoxy for bonding plastic (the deflector lens with 3 prongs is hard plastic) to metal (the 3 prongs go over some sort of metal but it's not like they snap in or click in, poor design?). Thus, they are glued on but you also must get the lens centered just right without getting any glue on the center light diode; otherwise, the repair may not work. I chose the Loctite super glue gel because of the easy squeeze applicator for precise control. Whatever brand you have available to you, be sure to check if it bonds most plastics to metal and that it can withstand heat. If that's too concerning or complicated, you can tale the extra steps (that I only referenced in the video) and order / replace the entire bulb strips. I put a link in my description that I found as a contact source for such parts.
I haven't had any glue failure but it's been less than a year since I completed the project. The bulb lenses and three prongs are plastic but they minimally insert into what appears to be a three prong, tiny, metal cavity casing. Whatever glue you decide to use or epoxy mixture, make sure you don't get any of it on the center diode. In regards to centering the bulbs to diffuse the light properly, you simply do your best and hope it works. If you don't want to take that chance, you can purchase new light bulb strips and replace them. That's the part in the video that I only made a reference to (you still have to remove the locking mechanism on the last sheet and remove the sheet to gain access to the strips.. then remove the strips and replace with new ones). Good Luck.
@notyouraveragejoe855 when I opened mine up it went from 10 spots to maybe 10 left holding on. The trip to my shop made more fail. Not seeing a pattern in the clocking of the lens I thought it impossible to get them all correct. I've decided to sped 60 bucks and buy new light strips off ebay. I could use new standoffs as the ones were all brittle but can't find a supplier yet. One other question when install new light strips...I wonder if the strips are numbered and go in a specific order? The lights I found mention nothing I'm very concerned about the clocking if the lenses at this time I do not know if all the strips are identical or if the lens setups are unique...do you know this to be an issue? Thank u for your time. My motto is...I can never say I cant...I just haven't figured it out.. but it can always be done with perseverance. And desire...
I do not know the answer to your bulb strip question but I agree with replacing them rather than trying to center that many fallen lenses. I would take a picture of your current bulb strips while still positioned inside your TV. See if you can count how many bulbs are on each strip and what the gap distance is between the bulbs and total length of each strip. Then compare those results with the new bulb strips. Also, the old strips may have some sort of indicator markings on them in regards to the alignment placing. If that doesn't work and you've tried looking up schematic information, perhaps it's best to have a professional repair it. Good luck and Great Motto!
Thanks so much for this detailed video. I bought a second hand tv that has this problem. It’s great to know it can be fixed. Just a question is it not good to use the screw machine later on because I saw you used it at the beginning but not later on?
The drill machine will only work on the shallow screws unless you have an extended length bit. The other screws are deeply recessed within narrow channels but I soon realized, I wanted a better "contact feeling" with what I was working on so that I didn't strip the screw head or the internal housing the screws fit inside. That would create another problem! The extended length hand held screwdriver was the right tool for me. Keep in mind that you can also replace the entire "strip of bulbs" rather than gluing them back on individually, (I referred to this issue in the video. It takes a couple extra steps to do near the end, unlocking the reflector sheet and removing it, then removing the old strip of bulbs but at least you don't have to worry about if you glued them back on correctly.) I wish you well on your project.
What’s the size of the screw you need to unscrew the bezel at the bottom? You should have shown the tools you used when you removed it. The video will be perfect with it. Especially for us new to this stuff trying to be like doctors for TV hehe. Thank you
Hi Danielle. I'm not sure I fully understand your question. At 1:08, I show a Phillips screwdriver will be used for all panel and TV stand screws. At 3:58, the bottom chrome bezel has no screws. It unclips from tiny brackets for removal but it's tricky to wiggle it out from under the brackets. At 4:16, I show the brackets on the removed chrome bezel but I could not get a good camera view while it was still installed (just before that slide at 3:59, I suggest using a flashlight as well - it's a tight junction in a tiny dark space). At 7:37, the black frame screws are again Phillips, the same Phillips screwdriver that removed the panel and TV stand screws. I hope that answered your question and good luck on your project.
I just bought a used Samsung TV for $50 bucks, didn't turn it on, at the place, got home and found out that this nice TV has a dark shadow on one side and 3 small like folds at the bottom on the same side of the shadow area.(Image is still visible) Do you think, if I do your process I can fix it? By the way, GREAT video!!! and Thank you so much for the explanation.
Thank you for the compliment on repairing my TV video but I am not a professional repairman. Your description of symptoms to your problem with the recent used TV purchase is quite different than mine and thus, I don't think my solution will work for you. You might research the internet for troubleshooting your make and model TV symptoms or look up on TH-cam if anyone else has posted similar videos on "shadows and folds" as you called it. I've seen videos about dark shadows on one half of screen posted. Also, see if you can find the manual on-line, if it didn't come with your purchase, and then look for the troubleshooting chapters that describes your symptoms. You might find out that it's fixable through "settings," "picture settings/modes," or "screen adjustments" or updated plug in wiring (say from a coaxial to HDMI). If it's an LCD screen, pixilation burn out, software, or something more involved where you're going to have to replace and buy new parts, my video "might be helpful" to guide you on getting to the part, BUT perhaps a better option would be to take it to a certified technician and have them troubleshoot your problem, then get a receipt with a warranty for the repair. Sorry I could not be of more help, I hope you find a solution.
Hi David, I wish you success on your repair (you're a man who works with his hands, tools, machines and wood - respect to you for that) but remember, there's risk with the attempt. If you don't get the bulbs on just right, (let alone don't break anything else in the process) it may not solve the problem but you can always go the extra step and purchase and replace the bulb strips. You certainly will learn how to take apart the TV to get to that decision in the process, good luck.
I followed your steps and my tv is extremely dark now. There is still a picture, however it seems like the brightness is at minimum setting even though it is at max.
Hi Nicholas, sorry to hear that but don't give up hope just yet. Let's say no other problem existed and no damage was done during the repair and you carefully handled the circuit boards, fully inserted the ribbons and properly reconnected "everything" back together. There's still a host of potential other issues that it could be. Since I am not a professional, I will refer you to this link: ( www.tcl.com/global/en/blog/solutions-for-tv-screen-that-looks-darker-than-usual ). It's just one link of many that you'll need to do some research on but perhaps all you need to do is troubleshoot your settings/modes and adjust them accordingly, (other than brightness because that would have been too easy, right?). Since the TV was unplugged and taken apart, altered settings/modes may have occurred. I wish I could help you more but I did say in the beginning, you must be willing to sacrifice your TV. If anyone else is reading this comment and knows the answer, please reply. Give me an update Nicholas, if you find the remedy and good luck.
@notyouraveragejoe855 I had just forgot to plug one of the boards in. It was tucked under it but not actually connected. It's up and running great now!
It is wise to know your own limits. Either take it to a repair shop for a quote or shop for a new TV. In the beginning of my video, I emphasized that I am not a professional and you must be willing to sacrifice your TV (meaning toss it, if things don't work out) trying to accomplish the low cost fix. Although the fix is not expensive, there's high risk in attempting the repair yourself and yes, there's plenty to "mess up" along the way. Since the solution did not involve electronics, circuit boards, soldering, or wiring, and I'm handy with tools and good at record keeping, I figured I would attempt it. I studied multiple videos regarding a solution but found many to be lacking in specific close up and take apart details; thus, I created my own video. I wish I could be of more help to people but thanks for stopping by and posting positively.
Iv got no tv experience but I can work a screwdriver 😅. My tv was slightly different to this one but I did it. I snapped a couple of clips and broke the out frame cos I never saw the screws but I still managed to take it apart and reassemble with this guys instructions. Like he said if it's broken anyway and your willing to try it give a go 👍👍
I hear ya and pack a lot of patience because you don't want to break anything else in the process and then cross your fingers when you put it all back together and turn it on... good luck Eric.
Yes, there is that risk, lol, among others including did you put the TV back together properly without breaking anything else in the process? Although no guarantee, you can work around the glue issue by taking the extra removal steps and purchasing the entire line of replacement "bulb strip" sets, but as you alluded to earlier, know thy own luck and limitations. Take care and thanks for stopping by.
This is most deatiled video for any repairs. you show us normal person view, who remove something and then forget how it goes back. thanks for ur efforts.
Your video bring me back at youtube in 2010,
I like it because is from a man who documentary his diy job to show us how to fix problem like that.
Thx man, its really helping me 👍🏻
I wish you success on your own DIY project.
Hello Joe, I really like your video because everything is done with great care showing each step in a clear and interesting way. I repaired my Samsung 75 inches which had 2 white dots. Once disassembled, I checked all the LED lenses and found 2 that had fallen off plus 19 others that could be removed just by brushing them with my finger. So I glued these 21 lenses back together with B-7000 glue. Then after 36 hours I checked and all the lenses had been glued. Then after reassembling the TV without breaking anything, I turned on the TV and I noticed that the 2 white dots from before the repair were no longer there, but that I had 2 new white dots and in addition that I had lots of slightly confused white spots everywhere. I displayed on my screen an all-white image (JPG) with a USB key, and it was with the all-white screen that I was able to realize that these slightly confused white spots were located precisely everywhere where I had made the 21 repairs. For this I compared with another image taken during the repair which shows the position of the lenses at the time of the repair.
Here is my question: Do you think I miscentered the lenses or the glue overflowed onto the LED or all of these at the same time? Or maybe it was the green adhesive tapes I used to hold the lenses in place while drying that caused a deposit on the white plastic around the LEDs? I have to say that trying to properly position these lenses by sticking them on the LED without putting glue on them is really not easy because they do not have a locking system to show where they should be positioned... I would have liked to send you my 2 images that show the dots and white spots and my 21 repaired lenses, but I do not know if it is possible and if so I do not know how to do it... Thank you if you can give me your opinion on all this...
Here are my thoughts: #1. If the lens itself is cracked or burnt, light won't diffuse properly... If the tape left any adhesive residue on the reflector sheet, light may bounce off of it oddly... if the glue spilled over onto the reflector sheet, when dry it hardens and or crystallizes, that too may deflect light oddly... if the lens bulb is off center, light doesn't diffuse properly... if glue covered the LED, that's a problem... if glue got on the bulb lens rather than just the peg ends, light may bounce off of it oddly... not sure if the glue you used was a problem... considering you had that many, there may be indications that other systems are beginning to fail as well (I've heard of pixel failure which doesn't display light and color correctly) and yes, I too wasn't fond of the lens design mechanism either. There was too much leeway for misalignment. #2. the cheapest approach to solving the problem is to re-glue the fallen lenses BUT even that has inherent risk because how many of us have had practice taking apart TV's, right? #3. The low cost DIY approach would be to replace the "entire bulb strips" after you've ordered the new sets. After you found that many (21) loose bulbs, the probability of getting them all on correctly was doubtful for ALL of the reasons you listed being suspicious AND there's obviously a looming problem anyway with the failing glue on the remaining lenses. I had a reference in my description to a business that sells replacement strips. This too though has risks because you still need to take apart and reassemble the TV correctly without breaking anything else in the process. #4. You take it to a professional repair shop and have them do it. (Which they will do exactly what #3 is, in addition to running other troubleshooting diagnostics but at least their work is guaranteed); however, nowadays, the labor, parts and repair cost MAY BE close the cost of a new TV anyway. Which leads us to #5. people chuck it and buy a new TV! #6. When I made this video, I had no idea this many people were experiencing the same problem. SAMSUNG or any other brand should take note of this common problem and correct it or is it just a matter of systems and parts eventual breakdown? The consumer wants quality and durability. #7. I agree with the lenses being difficult to properly center. Although I had 3 lens pegs to fit into 3 peg holes, there was no locking or snapping into place mechanism or solid fit when I put them back into place. Basically, a judgement call and keeping your fingers crossed. As I mentioned at the end of my video, if I were to do it all over again, I would go the extra steps and buy the replacement bulb strips. YOU may still want to consider that as an option and replace the entire backlight strips but then again, if you've had your TV for some time, other systems might be starting to fail. You certainly know how to take the TV apart now. The extra steps I only referenced in my video, (other videos may show it all), where you release the locking mechanism, remove the last white reflector sheet and gain access to the bulb strips. They can all be removed somehow and then replaced. #8. You certainly sound like you did your diligence, sorry to hear of your results. Thank you for reaching out and being very cordial in commenting.
Great video! Very informative and easy to follow. My dad and I were able to fix our TV no problem thanks to you. We appreciate you so much! 🙌
That's FANTASTIC and great execution on your combined efforts. The world is a better place when people help each other out. Thanks for posting such a positive comment, CHEERS.
Great instructional video! Plus great tips and precautions, thankyou!
Wish you well on your project and thanks for the feedback.
Great Job, this invited me to go ahead and do the repair myself- THX a lot for your time!
I am asking myself if all the things like speakers etc. have to be unmounted?
Regards Ralf
In my case, yes, the internal speakers needed to be unmounted. They were very easy to remove. Watch the video starting at 3:13 - 3:55.
Omg this is exactly what my 14 month old Samsung TV is doing... I just bought a new one last month that I haven't opened yet but this is good news. I hope this fixes my TV. Thank you for posting this video!!
My TV with the issue is model tu-8000 crystal HD led TV. It's 75". Posting this in case anyone has same issues. I will be taking mine apart this week and I'll post back with my results
I wish you well on your project.
Appreciate this video so much... White spots appearing about once a month on a ten year old Samsung 60 inch. Great TV otherwise, so I followed your video and disassembled last night. About ten lenses were off and another ten or so came free at the slightest touch. With my poor gluing skills I'm going the other route and ordered the LED strips. Should work like a charm -- fingers crossed -- hoping to save a good $700 on a new TV thanks to your video. Cheers!
With that many bulbs off and or loose, I'm surprised you didn't have permanent white spots but I agree with your approach to replacing the entire strips vs trying to glue that many back on correctly. Hopefully, that's the only issue you have on a ten year old TV and the low cost fix works. Good Luck.
@@notyouraveragejoe855 Thanks - I guess I won't know about permanent white spots until everything is reassembled and turned on in the moment of truth... For what it's worth, the glass and sheets seem fine, and if I'm replacing the entire strips, LEDs and lenses all, I'm optimistic there's nothing else that could have been damaged that I'll be stuck with. My reassembly skill worry me the most. I didn't start writing down notes until about half way through. Thanks again for the great video.
You stated that about 10 lenses were already off when you opened up your TV; yet, you only had white spots once a month. That surprises me that you didn't have 10 white spots glowing whenever you turned it on. I start to wonder if there's any other issues at cause (pixel deterioration?) but I still like your approach. Let me know how it turns out, cheers Daniel.
@@notyouraveragejoe855 I misspoke - they're definitely on all the time when the TV is on. It's been one new white spot appearing each month as they started falling off about once a month until I couldn't take it any more and started researching.
Thanks Joe. Bravo for your success! Very thorough instructional video. Now I have an excellent reference to attempt to fix my own. 😃👍👍-Coop
Thanks Coop but just remember what I said in the beginning, you must be willing to sacrifice your TV if it doesn't work out. I don't guarantee success but I was willing to try it because my problem didn't involve repairing the circuit boards, electrical components or the ribbon strips. Before you get started, if you can tilt your TV side to side and hear parts sliding around, that's a probable indication that the bulbs have fallen off and perhaps hopefully, the only reason for the white spot lighting. Regardless, you will learn plenty along the way. I wish you success, cheers.
@@notyouraveragejoe855 No worries Joe. Prices were low enough that I bought a new one. If i get this one working again, I will give it to someone who needs it. I can see that these things are very labor intensive to fix. Thus the reason for the high cost of repair.-Coop
good job and well done on the info. just found one in the alley and after plugging it in, noticed the same problem, also heard something rolling around inside, otherwise works fine. looks like a future project for me. 👍
That does "sound" familiar, good luck on the alley find project.
Thanks! This tutorial guided me through every step on a 75" Samsung. Some issues with getting the thin bezels to fit tightly together but the white spots are gone!
Great job! I'm glad I could help someone else out.
This is such a great video and helped me fix my TV thanks so much! I learnt a lot about your approach to jobs like this too, keeping notes, labelling pots with screws etc! Keep up the great work, cheers!
Great execution on your part Steve, glad it all worked out and I could be your guide.
Thanks lot for this Video. Helped me a lot.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Glad it helped you out.
Hi Joe, Thanks for the great video. We did the whole process with our Samsung and even though it was very fiddly getting the glue on the tiny prongs on the lenses it has seemed to work a treat. But we have now noticed some black cloudy areas on the tv along the top and down one side- so obviously we’ve done something wrong putting the tv back together. Any ideas as to what’s happened and what we can do?
I wish I did so I could further assist you but I don't. Like you referenced, something wasn't done right but what? You may want to check that all circuit boards are fully clipped in, not hanging and are not bent or pinched anywhere. Are the two wide ribbon tapes fully inserted up to the dotted line and clicked in? You may want to double check your notes and compare to the video again and see if you missed anything, replaced out of order or something wasn't properly aligned or fully clipped in. If you find the solution, let me know... good luck.
you kind sir gave me the courage to open mine up...unfortunately for me all bulbs were in place (bought the tv second hand,i'm suspecting they changed the leds,so what else could be causing the white spots?maybe they forgot to add 1 deflector?)
Before you opened up your TV, you could have tilted it side to side / back n forth to hear and listen for the fallen lenses sliding around inside. If you didn't hear anything, that could have been an early indicator that perhaps your specific white light spotted halo problem may be due to something else; unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable enough to help you... BUT, I have seen other troubleshooting videos on YTube that point out other options to try to fix the white light problem. You'll have to do your own research and see if any of those options solve the problem. Another thought to consider though is that even if the bulbs are re-glued on, if they're not perfectly centered, they may not reflect the light properly and thus, you still get the halo effect. This is one reason why I also mentioned in the video, you can take it one step further and buy replacement "bulb strips" that come already assembled. Otherwise, you may want to contact the second hand store and talk to them. Sorry I could not be of more help, good luck and thanks for stopping by.
Excellent step by step instructions for this job. Obviously, the factory did not use the best glue for these to say on to withstand the years of heat generated by the use of the TV. This video uses "loctite super glue" but a disclaimer to not be sure if this glue is the best to use. Other videos use other glues. Anyone know the best glue for these to permanently stay on? I only want to do this job once.
I hear you on only doing it once; hopefully, a professional TV repair specialist can reply. Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate (ECA) is the primary active ingredient in most superglues but you do want to look for an adhesive that can bond plastic to metal and withstand heat. The lens is hard plastic and the 3 plastic prongs are glued to some sort of metal but it's not a snap in fit. You also have to center the lens and make sure no glue covers the center light diode; otherwise, the repair may not work. You can bypass all of the glue concerns by taking the extra removal steps (only mentioned in the video) and buying / replacing the entire bulb strips that come preglued. I referenced a contact in my description. Sadly, I was amazed at how often this problem of fallen lenses is occurring on TV's. I wish you well on your project, thanks for stopping by.
Nice video. Not all super glues work either, I tried gorilla super glue, and it would not bond to this plastic. It did manage to leave white residue that I had a hard time getting off. I switched to hot glue, used in other video and that got them back in.
I also busted the clips for the speakers that were surprisingly brittle, but glued them back into place.
I did still manage to crack my screen in the corner somehow, after putting the screen back together, just vertical bars and the glaring obvious damage. To add insult the bright spot was still there, so I guess the lenses need to be very accurately placed to diffuse properly.
Not too big a deal, gives me an excuse to upgrade to a newer HDR model.
I too realized after disassembling the parts, just how fragile so many of them are. In regards to my screen and working solo, I was very concerned about using suction cups (which is how I saw other videos doing it with smaller screens or they had an assistant) when moving it which is why I used the heavy duty cardboard under it for better weight distribution and support. Still, when you reattach the outer black frame bezel over it, you can crack the screen clipping it in even if you are careful. In regards to the lens placement, that's another roll of the dice when you put it all back together and turn it back on... how well did you center it and does it diffuse light properly? Well, you gave it a shot but also learned something in the process. Thanks for commenting.
You're a mad man, good job.
Hmm... perhaps more so before and happier after :)
thanks so much for this video. You did an incredible job! But I do no recommend using super glue. it did not work for me. It didn't hold, and I accidentally got some on my fingers, and then it got on the diffusers and made them a little cloudy. After trying it on 2 of them, I switched to clear 5 minute clear epoxy from Harbor Freight for the other 5 that were loose. Also it worked better for me to take a toothpick and put the glue into those 3 round spots rather than on the bottom of the disc. Plus be careful and do not let any of the glue "string" onto that middle area. My spots did not completely disappear, but they are not as bright. They may have disappeared had I not gotten the smudges from the super glue on the 2 diffusers. Thanks again for all the work you put in making this video.
Hi Thomas. I appreciate the comment and sharing your experience while providing viewers alternative options to the application of accomplishing the task.
Thanks, i'll try and repair my parents samsung with your video.
I wish you well on your project.
@@notyouraveragejoe855 Thank you, i tried it yesterday. All went well just up until the reassembly of the bezel. Apparently the screen was too close or too tight in a corner that when i clicked on the bezel, the screen broke in that corner. But, i think that the "suns" have burned into the screen because some of them were still visible afterwards. It was my parents TV and they've already bought a new one. They 've been watching for years on that TV and didn't see those 10 "suns" anymore. But, my pain was real, it was just a last try to fix the TV and my daughter hoped i could salvage the TV for her. But, thanks again! without the crack it would have been a succesfull fix. Is it possible the "suns" burned the screen?
Sorry to hear of that result. I even mentioned that particular concern at 15:21 when trying to replace the frame bezel over the screen... but, things happen right? It's not like any of us are TV repair professionals with years of experience. Another possibility is that if you don't properly center the re-glued bulb lens or you get glue on the center diode, it may not diffuse light correctly and thus, you still have a sun halo effect. The fact that you had 10 to get right is quite a chore over just 1 or 2. In regards to "burn in, screen burn, image burn," or as you called it "suns" being burned into the screen, (I'm no professional but) yes, I do believe there can be an appearance of that but it may not technically be that. It may be due to certain parts wearing out or no longer functioning properly and thus, gives off the appearance of a "burned" image. If that's the case, I don't think you can do anything about it. This topic is beyond my knowledge but I think it deals with degeneration of the pixels, the types of bulbs used or LED's, the LCD screen, and how light is generated and for how long. 1) If the bulbs had fallen off and your parents continued to watch the TV, the concentrated light source is no longer being diffused properly and could result in the "burn" image. 2) Although I've read that LED (light emitting diodes) apparently use less power and produce less heat than earlier model TV's, screens and bulb-light types, I've seen backlighting TV videos on TH-cam that have caught on fire. Is it due to excessive heat or an electrical issue or other? If it's not heat, then WHY are so many people experiencing fallen lenses from failed glue? Is it the type of bright light that wears down the glue, like sunlight destroys plastics? 3) Having a still screen or logo image on for hours (pausing a video game or screen saver for example) may lead to pixel degradation and thus, the "burn" image. And finally, to my limited knowledge... 4) Because these new TV's produce such amazing colors and bright lights, you probably want to adjust the brightness level way down. Having a bright TV on all day, day after day, let alone if it's in a warm/humid environment, seems to not only degrade the glue faster but also possibly fries the pixels and produces that burned looking image. Thank you for being cordial with your update, too bad it didn't work out and congratulations to Belgium for winning 10 medals (cycling, athletics, and fighting) during the 2024 Olympics.
Hi great video pal. When you fitted your first bezel is that just for the white screens and when putting on the top bezel what happens with them flappy bits at the side do they just tuck in.
After I replaced the two white sheets (thick heavy and thin fitment), the 4 flimsy thin black bezels will clip in holding the two white sheets in place (refer to video time of 11:50-14:00). The LED/LCD TV screen will follow and rest on top of and be centered over the bezeled white sheets. In regards to your mention of "top bezel and flappy bits at the side"... can you be more specific? Are you referring to the TV frame bezel and circuit boards? After the TV screen is centered, you will attach, (14:45 gently clip in and then screw in 5 screws) the black outer one piece Frame Bezel. The circuit boards still hang out of the way. At 15:32, is when I prepared to flip the TV over (yes, I placed the circuit boards up under the sheath strips to protect them when flipping the TV over but I didn't fully clip them in yet. If you can secure them before flipping the TV over, that's your option). I chose to secure them in after flipping the TV over. The main issue here is that you don't want to damage the circuit boards during the flip over. I hope that helps.
Great video thanks .. I will try ... I have a Samsung 75 6300 series
If you don't want to risk getting the re-glued bulbs on just right (which is free to attempt), then take the extra steps (undo the locking mechanism and remove the last reflector sheet, not shown but mentioned at 10:20 in my video) and buy "$" the replacement bulb strips that already come with glued on bulbs. You just remove and replace the entire strip of bulbs. I wish you well on your project, take notes, and be patient in the process but also, be willing to buy a new TV if it doesn't work out... Good Luck.
Scary job. Brave guy.
Haha... I hear you and it was a gamble but one I was willing to try.
Thank you...a well done video. I feel confident it getting this done.
I wish you success on your endeavor.
Great video totally covers it all thank you 🙏🏻
Hey Jimmy, I hope it can help you out and thank you for the comment.
did you determine in the end that the super glue was the right brand? what are the required attributes of I can’t find this exact brand?
There are other options but Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate (ECA) is the primary active ingredient in most superglues. Loctite also makes extreme epoxy for bonding plastic (the deflector lens with 3 prongs is hard plastic) to metal (the 3 prongs go over some sort of metal but it's not like they snap in or click in, poor design?). Thus, they are glued on but you also must get the lens centered just right without getting any glue on the center light diode; otherwise, the repair may not work. I chose the Loctite super glue gel because of the easy squeeze applicator for precise control. Whatever brand you have available to you, be sure to check if it bonds most plastics to metal and that it can withstand heat. If that's too concerning or complicated, you can tale the extra steps (that I only referenced in the video) and order / replace the entire bulb strips. I put a link in my description that I found as a contact source for such parts.
How long did the glue last. Or would you use another
I haven't had any glue failure but it's been less than a year since I completed the project. The bulb lenses and three prongs are plastic but they minimally insert into what appears to be a three prong, tiny, metal cavity casing. Whatever glue you decide to use or epoxy mixture, make sure you don't get any of it on the center diode. In regards to centering the bulbs to diffuse the light properly, you simply do your best and hope it works. If you don't want to take that chance, you can purchase new light bulb strips and replace them. That's the part in the video that I only made a reference to (you still have to remove the locking mechanism on the last sheet and remove the sheet to gain access to the strips.. then remove the strips and replace with new ones). Good Luck.
@notyouraveragejoe855 when I opened mine up it went from 10 spots to maybe 10 left holding on. The trip to my shop made more fail. Not seeing a pattern in the clocking of the lens I thought it impossible to get them all correct. I've decided to sped 60 bucks and buy new light strips off ebay. I could use new standoffs as the ones were all brittle but can't find a supplier yet. One other question when install new light strips...I wonder if the strips are numbered and go in a specific order? The lights I found mention nothing I'm very concerned about the clocking if the lenses at this time I do not know if all the strips are identical or if the lens setups are unique...do you know this to be an issue? Thank u for your time. My motto is...I can never say I cant...I just haven't figured it out.. but it can always be done with perseverance. And desire...
I do not know the answer to your bulb strip question but I agree with replacing them rather than trying to center that many fallen lenses. I would take a picture of your current bulb strips while still positioned inside your TV. See if you can count how many bulbs are on each strip and what the gap distance is between the bulbs and total length of each strip. Then compare those results with the new bulb strips. Also, the old strips may have some sort of indicator markings on them in regards to the alignment placing. If that doesn't work and you've tried looking up schematic information, perhaps it's best to have a professional repair it. Good luck and Great Motto!
@notyouraveragejoe855 hell no. If I can't ill lean it toit until I can. Lol
thx for your step by step help, I fixed my TV, good video
Fantastic and great execution on your part.
Thanks so much for this detailed video. I bought a second hand tv that has this problem. It’s great to know it can be fixed. Just a question is it not good to use the screw machine later on because I saw you used it at the beginning but not later on?
The drill machine will only work on the shallow screws unless you have an extended length bit. The other screws are deeply recessed within narrow channels but I soon realized, I wanted a better "contact feeling" with what I was working on so that I didn't strip the screw head or the internal housing the screws fit inside. That would create another problem! The extended length hand held screwdriver was the right tool for me. Keep in mind that you can also replace the entire "strip of bulbs" rather than gluing them back on individually, (I referred to this issue in the video. It takes a couple extra steps to do near the end, unlocking the reflector sheet and removing it, then removing the old strip of bulbs but at least you don't have to worry about if you glued them back on correctly.) I wish you well on your project.
What’s the size of the screw you need to unscrew the bezel at the bottom? You should have shown the tools you used when you removed it. The video will be perfect with it. Especially for us new to this stuff trying to be like doctors for TV hehe. Thank you
Hi Danielle. I'm not sure I fully understand your question. At 1:08, I show a Phillips screwdriver will be used for all panel and TV stand screws. At 3:58, the bottom chrome bezel has no screws. It unclips from tiny brackets for removal but it's tricky to wiggle it out from under the brackets. At 4:16, I show the brackets on the removed chrome bezel but I could not get a good camera view while it was still installed (just before that slide at 3:59, I suggest using a flashlight as well - it's a tight junction in a tiny dark space). At 7:37, the black frame screws are again Phillips, the same Phillips screwdriver that removed the panel and TV stand screws. I hope that answered your question and good luck on your project.
Great how to do. Thanx
Hope that helps you out in some way.
I just bought a used Samsung TV for $50 bucks, didn't turn it on, at the place, got home and found out that this nice TV has a dark shadow on one side and 3 small like folds at the bottom on the same side of the shadow area.(Image is still visible) Do you think, if I do your process I can fix it? By the way, GREAT video!!! and Thank you so much for the explanation.
Thank you for the compliment on repairing my TV video but I am not a professional repairman. Your description of symptoms to your problem with the recent used TV purchase is quite different than mine and thus, I don't think my solution will work for you. You might research the internet for troubleshooting your make and model TV symptoms or look up on TH-cam if anyone else has posted similar videos on "shadows and folds" as you called it. I've seen videos about dark shadows on one half of screen posted. Also, see if you can find the manual on-line, if it didn't come with your purchase, and then look for the troubleshooting chapters that describes your symptoms. You might find out that it's fixable through "settings," "picture settings/modes," or "screen adjustments" or updated plug in wiring (say from a coaxial to HDMI). If it's an LCD screen, pixilation burn out, software, or something more involved where you're going to have to replace and buy new parts, my video "might be helpful" to guide you on getting to the part, BUT perhaps a better option would be to take it to a certified technician and have them troubleshoot your problem, then get a receipt with a warranty for the repair. Sorry I could not be of more help, I hope you find a solution.
@@notyouraveragejoe855 thank you again, Sir. and may God bless you.
I cracked the front panel when trying to unstick the tape at the bottom, as my dog started barking and made me jump 🤦
Oh no, so much for man's best friend! Yeah, some of the parts I came across are quite fragile.
THANKS!
Thanks, you gave me the confidence that I needed!
Hi David, I wish you success on your repair (you're a man who works with his hands, tools, machines and wood - respect to you for that) but remember, there's risk with the attempt. If you don't get the bulbs on just right, (let alone don't break anything else in the process) it may not solve the problem but you can always go the extra step and purchase and replace the bulb strips. You certainly will learn how to take apart the TV to get to that decision in the process, good luck.
Done! Working fine! Opened and glued and back together!
Well done sir.
I followed your steps and my tv is extremely dark now. There is still a picture, however it seems like the brightness is at minimum setting even though it is at max.
Hi Nicholas, sorry to hear that but don't give up hope just yet. Let's say no other problem existed and no damage was done during the repair and you carefully handled the circuit boards, fully inserted the ribbons and properly reconnected "everything" back together. There's still a host of potential other issues that it could be. Since I am not a professional, I will refer you to this link: ( www.tcl.com/global/en/blog/solutions-for-tv-screen-that-looks-darker-than-usual ). It's just one link of many that you'll need to do some research on but perhaps all you need to do is troubleshoot your settings/modes and adjust them accordingly, (other than brightness because that would have been too easy, right?). Since the TV was unplugged and taken apart, altered settings/modes may have occurred. I wish I could help you more but I did say in the beginning, you must be willing to sacrifice your TV. If anyone else is reading this comment and knows the answer, please reply. Give me an update Nicholas, if you find the remedy and good luck.
@notyouraveragejoe855 I had just forgot to plug one of the boards in. It was tucked under it but not actually connected. It's up and running great now!
Fantastic, glad it worked out and good job on double checking your work and finding the missed connection.
Wow there's no way I'm going to do all this. I'll mess something up. You have had some time to work with TVs to figure this out....😮
It is wise to know your own limits. Either take it to a repair shop for a quote or shop for a new TV. In the beginning of my video, I emphasized that I am not a professional and you must be willing to sacrifice your TV (meaning toss it, if things don't work out) trying to accomplish the low cost fix. Although the fix is not expensive, there's high risk in attempting the repair yourself and yes, there's plenty to "mess up" along the way. Since the solution did not involve electronics, circuit boards, soldering, or wiring, and I'm handy with tools and good at record keeping, I figured I would attempt it. I studied multiple videos regarding a solution but found many to be lacking in specific close up and take apart details; thus, I created my own video. I wish I could be of more help to people but thanks for stopping by and posting positively.
Iv got no tv experience but I can work a screwdriver 😅. My tv was slightly different to this one but I did it. I snapped a couple of clips and broke the out frame cos I never saw the screws but I still managed to take it apart and reassemble with this guys instructions. Like he said if it's broken anyway and your willing to try it give a go 👍👍
Well, despite the couple of "hits" you took from a different "opponent," I'm happy to hear that you still won the battle, cheers.
Thank you 🙏🏾
I hope the video helps you out, good luck.
@@notyouraveragejoe855 I truly appreciate this video. This will be a great project for me to get started on. Thank you once again 🙏🏾
Thanks
I hope you found something useful from watching.
10 year old tv,i will go at it like im killing snakes😂
Let you know if it worked after i get it done,thank your for the guide.
I wish you well on your TV repair.
Great video, but man is this going to be tedious to fix my stupid TV
I hear ya and pack a lot of patience because you don't want to break anything else in the process and then cross your fingers when you put it all back together and turn it on... good luck Eric.
My luck I'd go through all this trouble, glue all the fallen/loose bulbs, get it all back together and two weeks later another bulb would fall off.
Yes, there is that risk, lol, among others including did you put the TV back together properly without breaking anything else in the process? Although no guarantee, you can work around the glue issue by taking the extra removal steps and purchasing the entire line of replacement "bulb strip" sets, but as you alluded to earlier, know thy own luck and limitations. Take care and thanks for stopping by.
This is most deatiled video for any repairs. you show us normal person view, who remove something and then forget how it goes back.
thanks for ur efforts.
I hope it helped you out.
