This is a repair service, you must send us your Main board for repair!
TV Models affected:
42LM6200-UE
Different part/board numbers we service:
EBT62018908
EAX64434207
Symptoms of a bad Main board:
Audio doesn't work on HDMI ports
HDMI ports don't work at all
TV can be turned on and off, however no back-light appears, no picture, or sound
TV turns on but picture has strange lines all all inputs and on menus
What do we fix and how do we fix it:
Nine times out of ten, we see these boards with malfunctioning CPU chips also called BGA which stands for Ball Grid Array. These chips almost always covered with a heat-sink run fairly hot. The chips are very resistant and almost never break, but after years of heating and cooling (Tv being turned on and off), microscopic cracks will form in the solder balls between the chip and the board. These cracks, will prevent data from going through and thus malfunctions will occur.
So how do we fix it? :
Here at Nick's TV repair we will fully remove the chip from the board and remove all the old solder on the chip and the board. Once all cleaned up, we will rework the chip with higher quality solder. The solder we use as apposed to the factory standard solder, is made with softer metals which is more malleable. This means they are less prone to cracking over the years.
More on the repair:
We ship USPS priority mail 2-3 day.
Warranty:
We offer a 1 year warranty on all our repairs for both parts and labor from the date of shipping departure.
