Good man. It's still over my head how I get wifi on the old TV.

No wifi here. Last year, this year, next year, don't care. https://www.amazon.co.uk/RCA-RB42FD1-DVB-T2-C-S2-Freeview-Backlighting/dp/B0BRNHMD7P/

Sorted, sort off. The main board comprises two halves. Aerial on left half and other input sockets on right half. The right half appears to generate TV signals and send back to the aerial thingy on the left. A micro resistor was blown at the ribbon cable bridge joining the two halves. This would...

But TV has no wifi. How would you get wifi onto the TV?

Looking like a good match.

Some tips and tricks. I followed the website and it told me to replace the main board. So, my initial assessment was right.

Here's structural description of the plasma TV. I place my problem at the mainboard where all the input connectors are.

What a larf. I have just discovered I don't actually need an aerial. A round coil of aerial cable placed on the floor works. Still, this doesn't fix the broken TV.

So, I need to get a new TV with wifi? Why don't I just get normal TV and plug in the aerial? The issue here is not an aerial problem. The issue is a break inside the TV between input sockets and the consuming unit for the input. If you supply input via wifi, the break remains. There is no wifi...

Best PCB soldering technique I have seen to-date.

Recapping ... people seem to make a lot of fuss over removing non-reusable caps. Not clear to me why they can't just dremel it off - cut the head and unsolder the legs. Perhaps there is concern about pulling the pads off?

The TV is not for me. Just need something that switches on and watch. Others also mentioned fire tv.

Says I need a resistor to discharge capacitors. But, doesn't say what size.

Youtube is my go to. It seems to know what I need and it's a mind reader. First one it gave me after a nap is how to check caps.

He mad.

What's a freely TV?

I am looking at an LG 42PX5D-EB AEKLLJP TV. It appears to work giving me access to the on screen menu, etc. But it is showing no signal from the aerial and SCART sockets. The aerial is confirmed to have signal on another TV. Going by youtbue videos, I suspect capacitors are gone on the...

It seems inevitable the signal scheme would allow for a range of impedances. Splitting the cable may not necessarily take the impedance out of range. The only way to find out is to do it. I was on the verge of doing it before being short circuited by the non-necessity of it. Perhaps another...

Cool. Can't say I understand it. If the impedance reduces (or dampens like a car shock absorber) the received signal, the correction is to increase the signal strength. Since the area I am in has strong signal, any impedance I add would not be sufficient to cause the complete loss of the signal...

People here were not wrong. I gained lots of great tips. The next time I need to do a socket of some type, I will know what to do.
