I tend to be a magnet for broken things. I don't even have to ask. As a result, I have inherited TV's just because people thought I could get a new LCD after a child got mad and through something at it. To name a reason. Others get warm and shut off magically. The ones I get more of is due to manufacturers breaking them, by saying "look at this new piece of junk I have for sale to replace the perfectly good one you already have". I got a nice 42inch plasma with only 5k hours on it for free, because it was just sitting around a persons house. I see a lot of TV's on classified sites that very few people actually buy, until prices go down for cheap. The other downside is most people are not willing to pay a technician for their work they put into items. Unless they feel it has a higher quality than some person listing an item just to get rid of it.
To check the LCD for lines, either vertical or horizontal, I always use unicolour test patterns. I've prepared an USB stick for that, but some sets have built in test patterns as well hidden somewhere within the service menu. This way I don't have to rely on the picture a TV station is just broadcasting. If the set comes with a UA-cam app, you can search YT for test patterns.
I'm still a big fan of Panasonic plasma sets. The TC-P54V10 still has an excellent picture after 15 years. May not be 4K (or 8K) but holds up well against them all.
Hi, Allen I have a Sony KDL48W585B Bravia which for some time on startup has horizontal lines at the top of the screen about 4 inches in depth until after about 2 minutes when it has warmed up and the gradually disappear. some of the simpler suggestions you have made in the past have inspired me to have a go ,ie maybe a ribbon cable is loose when cold and expands when it warms up. so thanks very much for giving me and many others inspiration to have go at repairing our own tv's.
I have recently seen 3x circa 50"+ tv thrown away in skips, in excellent visual condition. If I had the room (which I don't at the moment) I would have bought them home to repair. All were gone the next day.
A panasonic thats not a vestel thats a first, the panasonic freeview recorder with HDD you repaired for bad caps of which there was a non hdd version just a dvd recorder with freeview im sure were made in slovakia or the czech republic. but these branded tv,s shows anything is possible when a badge maybe just that sometimes.
Do you know what would cause a mid grey screen with no picture, i've replaced the TV (LG - 43UK6950PLB) with a TCL but id love to know what the issue with it was (it was being tempremental for a while and already been repaired once). Thanks

Nice to see a proper Panasonic for a change, thanks Allen 😊

Another good one. Enjoying your videos. 👍
Not another LED problem well you're the man to fix it because that's all you ever do
I repair the fault ? What do you want me to do stick some new capacitors in it. ???

Thank you Allen but you didn't address the T-CON slippage that you spptted but I guess it wasn't important?

Are there scratches on the screen ❓
Re I da me of a HiSense?
Was Misty's breathing laboured or is she just purring loudly? It's hard to tell...
Panasonic suck these days
