Default TFT monitor repair tips


I don't want to dissapoint you, but component level service for the
LCD and Plasma display's are not normaly supported by any of the
manufactures. They are mainly serviced at the module level only, as
like servicing a PC computer. After warranty, they are usualy
considered not feasible to service, unless the fault is something
simple.

Full service manuals for many of these types of displays are usualy
difficult or impossible to obtain. After the warranty periods for most
of this type of technology is finished, spare modules and parts may
not be available unless you can find a scapper unit with good parts.
The exception is if you can find some generic parts that will work.

When factering in the cost of the circuit boards and the laour, the
dropping of the replacement cost, after warranty service is usualy
considered not worth the cost. When troubleshooting and servicing this
type of technology the tools, and instruntation required is fairly
expensive.

If you want to service these types of monitors, try to see if you can
negotiate warrenty contract with some of the manufactures. Be
prepaired to invest a fair amount of dollars to get going with this.
