By Maria Butler


Replacing the main board in your television is not an easy task especially if you are not a technician. Maybe you are thinking of just disposing the television and buy a new one. Or maybe you are thinking of just letting a technician do the job for you. That sounds like the best thing to do. But you can actually do some basic TV main board replacement if you want to. In this article, I will show you simple steps that you could follow and try to replace that faulty main board. These steps are for those who have a knack for experimenting with things.

Think of safety first. This should be the start of every repair that you will be doing. You should consider your personal safety and the safety of the people around you. This will help you avoid injuries while doing your job. You have heard a lot of people losing limbs caused by unsafe working habits and environment. You have to value your personal safety before starting any work. You do not yearn to lose your limbs because of very simple things that can be avoided with a proper amount of preparation.

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 do any type of work you are required to have the specific tools for the specific job. Same when trying to replace the main board of the TV, you need specific tools to help you accomplish the work much faster. Tools are designed to help you do your job so make sure you have them.

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.

Consider these stuffs before doing any job and you will increase the possibility of a successful repair. You can enjoy more of the experience and at the same time be safe from injuries caused by unhealthy working habits.

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.

There you have the stuffs that need deep consideration. You should only start the actual work after all these pre-required stuffs are attained. You cannot complete a replacement process without the necessary tools and the substitute parts. You may not want to waste your time starting the job knowing that you will not be able to complete it because of lacking tools and parts.
