    Our LG tv was also stuck on the same screen a few years ago, followed this guys’ steps, and boom. Fixed the tv. Very grateful but never wrote a comment saying thank you. It’s 2022 now and the same tv had the same problem. Brought this video back on to refresh my memory, and worked this time around as well. Thank you for your knowledge, man! Much appreciated!

    Hi there @TipsNNTricks and all,
    I tried doing it on my LG TV 47LE5310, but didn't quite get the same result.. :/
    Screen is now all black, and won't show any image.
    Anyone have an idea if I did something wrong ?

    Thank you for this! I was skeptical about this as well and at first thought it was a practical joke, but the comments convinced me. I tried it following the instructions exactly in an electric oven and it worked on my 42LD650. I guess it has to do with heating up the solders so the components stick to the motherboard better? Someone mentioned it's similar to the ovens they use on motherboards in factories. Probably will clean my oven just in case there are toxins in there. (6/26/2020)

  • @SuperEvilmonkey88
    @SuperEvilmonkey88 6 років тому

    It does work, guys. You HAVE to ensure the temp, whatever your oven says, do not rely on its gauge, you need to verify its temp. Once it's up to temp, bake for 10 minutes, crack the oven's door open and kick back for 45 minutes. Find shit to do like read a book or play with your grandkids. Pb free solder melts at 365. Don't put cardboard in oven, use a tray, it doesn't stink up like you think... All you're doing is fixing LG's factory shit cold solder joints in most cases. I picked up a 2015 43LF590-UB left out with the "trash" by a neighbor. 6 months later and well, I left a note in their mailbox saying thanks for the TV. This ain't exactly a new trick.

    Thanks for posting this how to. My brother-in-law arrived with the same fault/same chassis. We used a cheap rework blower set to 320 deg C and heated the chip with the heatsink attached for about 10 min and let cool which restored its operation.

    I saw mainboard refence, it is hard to find and would cost +150€.
    Came across with your video and i give it a try; nothing to loose.
    And, for my surprise, it WORKED! True story, no BS.
    Thanks for saving me money for buying new TV.

  • @DrJ561
    @DrJ561 4 роки тому +1

    Nice video and explanation of the process. I only recommend that this is not done in a kitchen oven as the solder in the braze does contain toxic materials that can deposit on the internals of the oven as it's being heated.

    well holy $^%t.. figured what do I have to lose.. had an old stove available, so we fired it up. preheated the oven to 375 and Baked the motherboard for 10 minutes. then shut the stove off and opened the oven door. let it stand for about 5 minutes before taking it out or even touching it. put it back in the tv and BAM!! we have a working tv..

    unfortunately didn't work for me as I had to convert the 200C to gas oven temp which give me a 6-7 temp, I chose 6.5 for 10 minutes, placed in centre in oven resulted in melting of plastic and what looks like burnt solid. if anyone has similar styled oven I'd recommend a starting setting of "5" to begin with. Thanks for the video, very informative.

    I must be honest..... I listen the video, and all time I was thinking this was a total fake. I have an LG 55 8500 European model. One year ago it suddenly stops on LG initial screen. I dig in everything and the only option that could solve the problem: purchase a new mainboard. But fortunately I found this incredible solution, and nothing more to lose (totally skeptical), I go thorough every steps.
    Now my LG is working perfect !!!! Umbelivable but thru.
    Maybe for some others fault this solution did not work.
    Thank you very much.

    What's the underground logic of heating your motherboard at baking temperatures? It seems senseless to me!!! I'm an electronic and communication engineer I never seen such horrific thing in my life. I see most of the people tried and replied it they succeeded are having there antique TV. So even your old aged motherboard melts out, by the time you would have already decided to buy a new one.

The few men I told about this told me that they'd much rather buy a new TV. Clearly, they seemed a little intimidated at the thought of taking the whole thing apart. Managed to get the TV back up and running within about 2 hours.. To any women (or anyone else) who might be intimidated to do this on their own: THIS IS THE EASIEST STEP-BY-STEP VIDEO ON THE WEB TO FIX YOUR MOTHERBOARD. Thank you so much TipsNNTricks. Totally saved my 9 year old TV and my quarantine.

    Thank you! My wife and I followed your awesome instructions step by step and it worked. We have an older TV, circa 2009....and it was revived today! Mind blown!! We feel like we are basically engineers now lol. Jk. What causes this on a 10 year old TV though, and why is this a fix? Just curious. Thank you again.

      Electronics manufacturers many years ago went to a cold soldering practice and in time the connections on the board are lost. We used to fix all the solder points with a soldering gun back in the day but for DIY, this is much more practical.

    Oh, thank you so much. I just performed the "rescue-baking" on the mainboard of a 47LE5500, which was stuck on start up. Everything went OK and now I have a fully functional TV again. Wouldn't have done it without your detailed description. THANK YOU!!!!. God bless you. Keep up the good work. I would also like to mention that my mainboard had a plastic SCART socket also, which didn't melt through the baking process(did it for 12 minutes in 198 Celsius)
