In this article we will see how to repair a television that has modern technology such as plasma, LED or LCD.

What is the average life of a modern television?

The average duration of a modern television is linked to the conditions of use and hours of daily use, but much depends on the quality of the product, those of a more economical range are not always able to cover the two-year warranty, the others slightly exceed them, not to be thrown away afterwards, but the first faults begin to appear.

Once, like all things, even televisions were designed to last indefinitely. Except for the normal periodic maintenance, a TV lasted quietly 20 - 30 years, in practice until the kinescope ran out, and even there were companies that rebuilt these expensive parts, so that the repair was always possible and convenient.

As we all know, everything has been distorted in the last two decades, without analyzing socio-cultural motivations or the pros and cons, we can say without a shadow of a doubt that we have become part of a "throw-away" society.

How to repair a plasma, lcd or led tv Screen Repair

Repairing a modern TV that is plasma, classic LCD or LED requires equipment and technologies that are often different from the previous ones. Although it is based on electronics and its formulas, the computer part that requires the use of computers and the internet has been added because a large part of the failures derives from problems with the television software that is no longer an analogue product, but set on the interaction between analog and digital technology.

This radical change has caused difficulties for many technicians who, as already happened in the past when switching from valves to the so-called "solid state" technologies, transistors and integrated circuits, have not felt like facing the difficulties and tasks, such as the necessary ones refresher courses and purchase of new capital goods, closing the business, to take care of other things.

It should also be borne in mind that, compared to the past, many times the repair is considered too expensive by the customer, who often takes advantage of the opportunity to buy a new appliance, amalgamated by the many advertisements of the shopping centers, even if the outward appearance and the praised qualities do not always translate effectively into better quality. So it was for example with the transition from classic LCDs with neon backlights that are still working, to LCDs with LED backlights, which turn off suddenly after a couple of years, because unfortunately the LEDs are not yet sufficiently reliable and have a much shorter average life. The LED therefore proved to be a negative evolution.

Fundamental for the TV repair to keep up with the constant changes, is the continuous technical updating, the exchange of information and collaboration with colleagues scattered throughout the national territory.

 

Where to buy spare parts?

Also for the supply of spare parts, which have become increasingly numerous and diversified, we have gone from the classic local supplier, to the need to find everything or almost in a very short time, for this reason online shops dedicated to repairers were born. After the initial boom, many of these have also closed down, but fortunately some large and well-organized services are still available which manage to cover most of the needs, albeit at significant costs. What you can't find from them, you can search on the well-known auction site, especially directly from Asian countries, you can make purchases at very affordable prices, to the detriment, however, in this case, of delivery times, which can even reach three months .

Can you use DIY to fix the TV?

The do-it-yourself……. an “uncomfortable” question for us operators in the sector, in fact we have always been subjected to unfair competition from the municipal employee, from the friend's cousin who “as a hobby” and exempt from taxes devotes himself to repairing various types of products at reduced prices, with methods that are certainly not professional and the results are seen, to the detriment of quality and safety.

Certainly the non-profit DIY to repair your TV is lawful, even if the circuit complexity, the equipment and the necessary experience make that it is not an operation for everyone, even if by now on the internet it is they find tips that can help solve the simplest cases, but trusting is good, not trusting is better. When dealing with potentially dangerous products and at risk of fire even over time, it would be better to respect the appropriate safety rules and common sense. So let's leave the DIY to the real enthusiasts with a minimum of know-how.
