Seriously a great outlook about fixing things
It’s already broke might as well try
Basically how I learned to fix everything I’ve ever fixed: TVs, game consoles, cars, trucks, appliances of all kinds, etc.
Hell my 75in 4k OLED TV in my living room cost me a grand total of $45 in parts.
Sometimes fixes are easy, sometimes they’re hard
But you don’t know until you look into it, which is basically the message of the video. Look into the problem before just replacing something
I have no problems with the message.
I’m a carpenter by trade and a tinkerer on the side. I have an older flat-screen TV waiting for me to get some time as the back light has burned out. I will completely disassemble it, test the leds, find the busted one(s) and bridge the connections so it can be backlit, just a bit dimmer.
I know how to because I’ve already done this once. I’ve had that particular LCD for over a decade at this point and I’m not going to just toss it when the issue is fairly simple to bypass.
