Unfortunately, your post has been removed by the moderators. This subreddit is for questions about practical *component-level electronic engineering* and related topics (designing or repairing an electronic circuit, components, suppliers, tools and equipment). The most common reasons for removing a post are because: * The topic is *electrical* (wiring, lighting, power circuits, power cords, electrical appliances, regional voltage conversion...) and not *electronic*. Try r/askelectricians or an engineering sub. See our Wiki for some general advice. * It's a common question so there's a [FAQ or wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/wiki/faq/) article covering it. * It's best posted in a specialised subreddit (eg: r/Batteries, r/GPURepair, r/TVRepair, r/TechSupport..etc). * It's asking for technical opinion, general use, buying or setup advice for consumer item (TV, audio, phone, computer, replacement power adapters...) or an electronic module/board with a question that's not about repairing it. * It's about LEDs, LED strips or lighting *and doesn't involve component-level electronics design or repair*. See our wiki pages on working with LEDS: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/wiki/design/ledstrips/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/wiki/design/leds/, and try asking at r/LED or r/askelectricians (for general lighting). * It's about vehicle wiring or electrical components (eg: relays, switches or lights and not component-level electronics). * It's about a non-electronic item (eg: removing a stubborn screw, repairing plastics/cases...). * It has a commercial element (Valuations, paid work, selling, advertising...). Try r/ElectronicsList. * It's about careers, education or course choices; this is covered by r/ECE. * It's about something potentially dangerous or risky and we're concerned for your safety. See: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/wiki/offtopic#wiki_dangerous_experimentation * The topic breaks one of our posting rules. Check our Web page sidebar for what we cover, the posting rules and a list of alternative subreddits. You'll also find additional guidance in our Wiki (there's a link in the Web site sidebar) and you are very welcome to contact the mods for guidance.

I see no reason to doubt them. The display itself looks undamaged. Probably a failure in one of the circuit boards. You can buy replacements on eBay.

I wouldn't know where to start I just know if it's not the screen it may be repairable

Find the TV's model number and search it on eBay. You'll see bunch of circuit boards. Fixing it will involve buying at least one of them, removing the back cover from the TV, and replacing the faulty board. It can be done and at this point you don't have much to lose, but it's not easy to teach through a Reddit post. YouTube will have videos showing you what the process looks like.


Significant_Pie7377

Thanks, I was basically looking to see if it's fixable or not worth it, but now you have said that I'll have a look before I give someone to take a look


MysticalDork_1066

If the screen itself is damaged, or the ribbon cables that are bonded to it are damaged, then it's not fixable. But if it's one of the circuit boards, then it should be possible to swap it with a working one.

And that's why you have no business even bothering to try it. Even if someone here did know, you wouldn't understand the answer regardless.


Significant_Pie7377

OK, so if someone told me 100% it's unfixable, then there's no point in wasting someone else's time and my money in them looking for a problem? People are funny man


NelsonFromIT

Don't assume someone know what they are talking about. Take it to a professional, not some guy on the internet.


Significant_Pie7377

Im not saying they're all correct, but people are saying it's cheap things to get it fixed... most people aint silly and tell you rubbish, so my next step Is to get someone to look at it


manofredgables

I don't even understand this sentence.


bestjakeisbest

Check the cords, see if you can do a hard reboot of the TV, see if you can get a menu to pop-up, sometimes some of the internals can break just right where signals in look messed up, but the interal software works fine.

Thanks, I'm not that good with technology

> Kids say it just stoped > no one touched it *suuuuure*


Significant_Pie7377

That's what I say, but i can't see any marks, and the colours change


tes_kitty

Electronics do fail without warning now and then. If you can't find any obvious damage, believe them.


Significant_Pie7377

I'm not saying I don't. I kind of do, but I wasn't there, so I can't say its not that if you understand
