This is the most common fault on a dead TV!

Do you agree this is the most common fault on a old TV?

how is the fuse good if it doesn't make any sound when you touch the terminals ? or maybe I'm missing something. Love your channel... all the way back home:))

Remember CRT tv.
High and low voltage, RF and downwards, discrete components etc. Just about everything in the one box.

Great and knowledgable videos. Don't need to watch item being unscrewed for about 3 minutes plus. Thx

Yup. Same problem with 90% of the failed LCD monitors. 15 minute fix, minimum charge + parts. Usually around $50. I could them all day long.

Shalom

I love it, just discovered your channel while trying to 'learn' to repair an 24v inverter (solar inverter) and after watching you repair things and some of your teachings, it's really starting to sink in. Thank you for sharing your content. Just realised you're in the UK too :). Watching a lot of your electronic lessons as well, watching you repair stuff is great though. I'm working my way through your TV repair playlist...

It's really interesting when someone can share and explain their knowledge to you ... I really appreciate you doing this!

The only issue I have, is while looking up parts for my inverter, I have to buy from China and they take forever to buy... I think my new capacitor is going to arrive in a months time! :) It must be hard to build up a stock of repair electronics.

Thanks!

are you really an idiot ?? when you give all your subscribers a 3d tv then we can see the same as you

Those capacitors (electolytic) were almost certainly manufactured in China. They ended up in HP, Dell and other PCs.
Ended up in top line servers at the time like HP ML350 G5s. Our company got saddled with repair costs. And all because of scammers in China using inferior materials.
I has 10 year generic PC I try to turn on recently and over 20 caps were swollen.

Nice video demonstration...
Tip: A 470uF/25v can be replaced 470uF/35v if there's no 25v...
You can also use an ESR meter to detect a dried up electrolytic capacitor...

Fixed my old PS2 fat console by just swapping in a new power supply board

nice an simple great video my friend

No EZ80 rectifier valve in this one....

Hi, just to be certain, when the fuse was tested i did not hear any sound to confirm continuity? Shouldn't have there been the 'beep'' ? Also replacing a cap of 450 of capcitance with one of 1000 isn't this to high a value?. Sure higher voltage but for capacitance shouldn't it be as close as possible ? Maybe i am missing some info :), thanks !

Outstanding!

If you have a dead TV you'll probably be able to repair it all by yourself with few bucks worth of components bring it to us 😄

Hopefully you can find capacitors that are not MADE IN CHINA. Those are unreliable.

I noticed them instantly, before you said it is visible.

Good job............

I have tv white bad capacior i dont have capatitor 92uf end 100v can i use a 100uf 100v capacitor

Hi very good video .. my tv turns on but turns off and then turns on again

And make sure you use quality brand caps rated for power supply's (Brands: Rubycon, Chemi-con, Panasonic, Matshushita, Nichicon, Sanyo, Hitachi, Samxon (except their GF series) with 105'c+ rating) otherwise they'll pop again soon.
Some of the crap brands: G-Luxon, Su'scon, Lelon, Ltec, Jun Fu, Fuhjyyu, Evercon.

hI. What about a car display central console that it's working but the image will show up a little bit later like 5 minutes, but the console it;s working, only the image will show up later than usual. it happens like this when is very cold outside. Any idea? Thanks!

Did that tv have a pcmcia card reader in it?!?

Usually a bad fly back transformer.

Thank you for the clear and simple explanation with a few good tips. I’d have burned two fingers opening that blocked solder joint before inserting the new cap. 😂

....... nice.

What about the Farad rating of the capcitor, should it match the same as the faulty or higher

repair shop and you have a hard time finding parts wow

Bad capacitors are the #1 cause of failures in HVAC systems. They are much larger, and cost about $10. I keep one for my AC, next to the one that will probably fail one of these days.

Could be a burned out backup light or the coaxial connecter broke loose

thats how i fix mind

The DC voltage rating of the cap, has absolutely nothing to do with the ripple current rating. The higher the capacitence, the higher the ripple current rating

Have you heard about fludor pump?

I have fixed several flat scrren TVs and monitors that I got for free by replacing the bulging caps.

I was so proud when I opened up my dead Vizeo monitor, and found a burnt ceramic capacitor. I got a replacement on eBay for peanuts, and a Walmart soldering iron, and I was back in business!

Last time I fixed a TV it had a bad 33GY7A vacuum tube!

Old school skills! Impressive!😃

Better quality capacitors would be be better than just higher Voltage, 125C caps will last longer as they cope with higher temperature before they dry out and fail. Most consumer stuff is made for a price point and lower grade components are used.

Easy like a tube not lit 🤣.
Use the internet

Red arrow and circles clickbait thumbnails let you know the video is a waste of time! Works every time.

If you do some more videos, can you leave the Cellotape man at home, he will need space for his fetish. Great video.

In recent years I have repaired many satellite receivers.
ALWAYS blown electrolytic capacitors.
I replace them with the same ones that can withstand higher temperatures.
then those receivers are good forever.

I restored 40 years of TV, but the flat TVs made me stop.
the color TVs that I repaired cost 1000 euros in 1980.
a flat TV now costs 300 euros, if it breaks, it goes to the container park in Belgium.
they will NOT be repaired by us.

Thank you very much for the information

I love how you explain why the part went bad.

I had an old 32" Westinghouse LCD tv a few years back that was dead (but the audio still worked) and the power supply PCB had a few bulging caps that I replaced and brought it back to life. Saved about 300 bucks

👍 Maybe I can fix my neighbor’s TV…

Used to fix TVs for a living myself, back when I was very much younger. He's right about the power supplies being the fault, quite often. Often, in those earlier TVs, the part of the power supplies, it was the part of the fly back capacitors. A 10 microfarad cap was dead or sorted out, and then the video part would be displayed as a horizontal line or maybe no video at all. The audio would be okay though. The value of the display cap? 10 micros at about 150 volts.

I ve got a hot tub, and the motor was playing up, when the engineir turned up to check the motor, we noticed the capacitor was "buging" £600 for a new motor! i asked him how much for a capacitor, £20 he replied, so it was a £20 fix!
