Does anyone offhand like to fix tvs? I have a wide screen tv that has a line/bar going right down the middle of my tv. The bar is about 6 inches wide. It's like watching split screen tv. Any suggestions?
Yep, fixed a lot of them back when the Chinese capacitor problem in the power supply PCB was happening. Pretty non-existent today unless the TV wasn't used or failed and they put it in the attic until now. One of those cheapest supplier things!I have a 42' LCD TV my F-I-L was gonna toss cuz of your symtoms , took it home, found 2 capacitors bad(bloated, it's obivous), replaced them and I have used this TV for 12 years and counting..
The same issue popped up with Dell workstation computers back about 10 or so years ago. Dell's supplier got a bad batch of counterfeit capacitors (so they said) and I was swapping out 1-2 motherboards per week for a while.Yep, fixed a lot of them back when the Chinese capacitor problem in the power supply PCB was happening.

Interesting. At the time, I was only exposed to Dell and HP machines and HP apparently got their caps from a different source.EVERY Computer Component manufacturer was hit with the fake Chinese capacitor copy debacle

After the math department at the University of Texas noticed some of its Dell computers failing, Dell examined the machines. The company came up with a unusual reason for the computers' demise: the school had overtaxed the machines by making them perform difficult math calculations.
That explains why we had a very expensive dual Pentium 4 processor workstation "crap its pants" one day,EVERY Computer Component manufacturer was hit with the fake Chinese capacitor copy debacle
