Most People Believe That Televisions Are Disposable Item When They Develop A Fault.


That Is Most Likely True If The Screen Is Damaged, Replacement Screens Are Available But They Are Expensive And In Most Cases It Is Not Cost Effective To

Replace The Screen, Compared To The Cost Of Replacing The Tv.


If The Screen Is Not Smashed But The Display Has A Dead Pixel Line Or Lines, Image Distortion Or Picture Jitter / Jumping The Chances Are This Is

Repairable, Image Faults Are Usually Caused By Faulty COF Tabs Or They Have Begun To Break Bond With The Screen.


An Lcd Screen Is Basically A Sheet Of Glass With A Layer Of Pixels And Polarizer Sheet, You Can Not Make The Electrical Connections Between The Matrix

Driver And Screen With Solder, The COF Tabs Are Bonded To The Screen And Matrix Boards With Anistropic Tape.
