    • Remove the power cord and place the TV screen down on a soft surface, like a blanket.

    • The back of the TV is held in place by many small Phillips head screws. Most of these are around the edges but there are also some by the power input and media inputs. Make sure to keep these screws in a safe place!

    • Per Dave Watson's comment, as you remove all of the screws in the back that at the bottom of the TV, there are two components that you have to unscrew and remove: the WIFI and blue tooth modules. The blue tooth module has a clip at the top that must be pushed down so you can remove it. The WIFI pops right off.

    • Note that there is a small amount of soft silicone under the board so you may have to wiggle it lose.

    • While you have the cover off your TV - consider cleaning the two fans as mine were dusty and starting to make some noise.

How did you know that board was the faulty part? Thanks

buyingclimax - Yanıt

The built in apps still worked, as did the component input. Only the HDMI inputs did not work. Plus, some googling revealed it is sensitive to power surges and we had a storm before it stopped working.

Daniel Moore -

Out of curiosity, where did you mail it for repair?

No issues, mailed the board in, waited, got it back and it worked. Never had to email or call anyone. It was $95 at the time.

Daniel Moore -

These instructions make me feel confident that I can do it. Great job thanks
