TV Main Board Replacement Versus Fixing

By Maria Butler


Replacing the main board in your television is not an easy task especially if you are not a technician. Maybe you are thinking of just disposing the television and buy a new one. Or maybe you are thinking of just letting a technician do the job for you. That sounds like the best thing to do. But you can actually do some basic TV main board replacement if you want to. In this article, I will show you simple steps that you could follow and try to replace that faulty main board. These steps are for those who have a knack for experimenting with things.

The most common culprit of TV issues can be solved by simply replacing the EEPROM chip. This is the chip responsible for housing the firmware of your television set. When the firmware is corrupted issues will start occurring. This is the most part that could sustain damage since the program inside the chip is a very fragile one. It can be erased easily.

And since you we will be replacing the main board, we are required to have the substitute part. There are a lot of quality shops out there that sells replacement parts. Just make sure that the replacement part is the same model as the damaged part. This will prevent compatibility issues that might hinder you from totally repairing your TV.

After everything is prepared it is now time for us to jump into the actual process of the replacement. Brace yourself and get ready for an exciting adventure. Relax and let us dive in.

To remove the main board, we need to remove the rear cover first. Different models have different numbers of screws. You just have to remove all of them. Make sure to place them in a single place so that you can easily find all of them after we are done with the replacement. After removing all the screws, the rear cover can now be removed easily.

Let us now remove the central panel. To do this we need to remove the screws that hold it in place. Some models also have connectors that you should also need to be removed. Make sure to place the screws in one location to make it handy in the later part of the process. Gently lift the panel from the central chassis. Make sure no wires are destroyed in the process to avoid unnecessary damages to the chassis.

After that, we can now place the replacement part on the chassis. Carefully position the panel on the chassis making sure that the positioning is correct. Put the screws and the connectors on their respective places.

You would enjoy the feeling of doing a seemingly complex thing that actually saves you some dollar. It makes it more exciting. The ideas presented here is for the people that want to do more complex jobs. Doing this job is actually more rewarding.

There we have a very simple process of removing and replacing the main panel of your TV set. Note however that the guide is only to solve the problem that is caused by a faulty panel. There are other tutorials out there that teach us how to replace damaged components from the central panel. You can always check them out if you think you are ready for more electronic works.
