I desoldered all the bad capacitors & soldered in the new ones, put the TV back together, plugged it in and.nothing not even the light on the then I noticed a loose fuse that shouldn't have been laying around. I had to change out 6 blown capacitors on the TVs power board and with zero experience prior to my short practice session. The day I received the kit I watched a couple of YouTube videos & practiced for 5-10 minutes on a dead motherboard. Everything was included down to the soldering iron, solder, wick, solder sucker, flux & a replacement capacitors for every one that read in the TV. I ended up using the TV model in my search and found an eBay listing for a capacitor replacement kit made specifically for the TV model I had. I went searching for the replacement capacitors that I would need. I immediately noticed the distinct domed tops of blown capacitors. I further investigated by removing the rear housing. So I investigated the issues and learned that it was likely caused by blown capacitors. My exe was given a TV that would power on but the screen would remain black for a little as 5 minutes up to over 30 minutes. You may find that soldering is far easier then anticipated. Get more practice by soldering some wires to random points on the PCB.Īfter you've practiced a bunch and feel confident with your ability go & tackle the project at hand.

Then take that which was desoldered and practice soldering it back to the PCB. One is always more preferable to the other depending on how the soldering was done. Try starting with capacitors, they are easy to desolder and solder & make a perfect practice medium. Find a junk PCB and practice desoldering with a solder sucker and also with a copper wick meant for soaking up melted solder. Anyone can solder those who lack the knowledge, skill and/or ability need only practice. One skipped/missed step when messing with software raises the probability of bricking the drive which gets written to the PCB. The most logical & simple solution when swapping optical drives is to change the PCB. Not sure how only replacing the laser works when the fingerprint the system checks for coded onto the PCB. If someone messes up and bricks it they're gonna find themselves swapping & soldering the PCB anyway. I find swapping and soldering to be an easier and quicker task over extracting and flashing.
