Things To Consider Before Doing A TV Motherboard Replacement

By Maria Butler


For geeks out there, replacing a TV motherboard would seem so interesting. It would surely give another feeling of accomplishment if done successfully. That is why I am creating this article to help you in maximizing your chances of successfully replacing a board. Follow these steps and you will become a more efficient worker or technician. These are the things that you need before doing the actual TV main board replacement.

The most common culprit of TV issues can be solved by simply replacing the EEPROM chip. This is the chip responsible for housing the firmware of your television set. When the firmware is corrupted issues will start occurring. This is the most part that could sustain damage since the program inside the chip is a very fragile one. It can be erased easily.

Before you could replace the main board, you need to know the exact model of the system that you are trying to repair. You do not wish to waste money buying replacement parts that do not fit with the model you are working on. Know the model first and buying those required parts should give you no trouble.

To replace this part we need to buy the exact part that is used in the mainboard model. This is to ensure that the firmware inside it is compatible with your television. Incompatible firmware simply does not work.

To remove the main board, we need to remove the rear cover first. Different models have different numbers of screws. You just have to remove all of them. Make sure to place them in a single place so that you can easily find all of them after we are done with the replacement. After removing all the screws, the rear cover can now be removed easily.

Let us now remove the central panel. To do this we need to remove the screws that hold it in place. Some models also have connectors that you should also need to be removed. Make sure to place the screws in one location to make it handy in the later part of the process. Gently lift the panel from the central chassis. Make sure no wires are destroyed in the process to avoid unnecessary damages to the chassis.

I would recommend replacing the damage component rather than buying the mainboard which actually costs more. You just need a few technical skills to perform the operations. And with enough patience, you might be able to bring back a dead television set back to life.

Finally, we can now return the rear cover back to its place. Use the screws that we removed earlier to secure the cover in its place. Make sure they are tight enough for a maximum grip.

Replacing TV mainboards is a lot easier than replacing the EEPROM chip but is also costlier. You will end up throwing the whole board just because of a single component. I am not discouraging you against the replacement of the main board. I am merely showing you another alternative that is also effective in repairing your TV set.
