WTF. If it needs a discussion thread, then it is too complicated for the intended user.

Worth it for the full cinema experience, though. I have never found LCD picture quality satisfactory - motion blurs, move head slightly and poor view angle issues show up. Also, a pensioner needs more warmth. So, nothing is going to waste. The max savings that could be accomplished with a new TV...

Even a pensioner can afford £1 a day. Is a plasma TV expensive to run? However, if you have a plasma TV, which averages around 350 watts, it consumes 0.35 kWh per hour. Therefore, if it's turned on for 8 hours a day, it will cost about 62.6p per day or about 7.8p per hour.

Weren't you looking for a friend, or something?

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?
