Why are TV's so disposable? Hisense WiFi / storage full bootloop

- This isn't a sympathy video, I'm just opening up to share my personal experience of how cost cutting and poor manufacturing in today's tech impacts vulnerable groups the most, especially the poor and disabled. From a PC to a laptop, releasing a subpar device and ignoring the QC issues is a common practice. Hisense isn't alone in this, it's a known secret that Smart TV's use the cheapest IC's available, and if you want your TV to last, you should never use the built-in apps. The fact this is acceptable on thousand dollar devices is disgusting. TV's are now essentially a computer, so why don't they treat it like one?

Making this was tough as it involved dropping the memes and opening up a bit of my personal life to a million people. But I feel a responsibility to use my voice to show the real-world impact this shit has on people. I also have no faith Hisense will ever make this right, so I would love to hear from someone in the industry whether it's possible to swap the NAND and reprogram it. The firmware is available on their website, and thousands of people require this service. Please email me.
THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THATS EVER LIVED OMG
Hello, I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and we also own this TV but it’s the European model with its own software instead of android and this never happened to us even after a few years of owning it so I really don’t know anything in this but I hope you or someone else find a way to fix it so that your dad and the other countless people suffering from this can finally relax.
Salem we love you bro and your content always brightens my day so thank you

As a former Best Buy employee, we had a sales manager that would actually verbally dress-down anyone that managed to sell one of these turds.........or Westinghouse. The idea was that selling a customer one of these was the opposite of doing right by them.
That's a good sales manager
I must have gotten the only decent Westinghouse tv ever produced. I got it in 2009 or so and last I heard it’s still kickin
@@austinpeterson4898 I worked at my place for 8 years ending around 2021? Not sure what happened in the interim, but I can absolutely believe it USED to be a decent company, it has star power after all. But whatever some bean-counter did to it, they didn't come back to our store shelves in a good shape. I guess thinking about it, when I started there, there were no Westinghouses or Hisenses, they were added in the latter part of my tenure, so whatever happened then, maybe that's the fall of their quality?
Man you broke my heart, you’re kindest technician the world ever had❤
That’s not a smart tv that’s a dumb tv
most smart tv's are dumb tv's
The most hisense comment I've read.
😂
That's not a dumb tv, that's a shitv
My mom got a dumb TV, but it works. So I agree with the above comment. It's a shit TV 😌

And here my almost 15 year old 50" LG that gets left on constantly by my kids as well as my 10 year old 55" vizio which again my kids never turn off even when not using it, both work flawlessly with an amazing picture still 😂
The vizio did develop a couple dark "splotches" a few years back but it's only noticeable when it's displaying a solid bright color across the screen and hardly noticeable at that. Hasn't gotten in worse since I noticed it tho.
Quality was different back then. I have my father's old LG 50" plasma from 2012 did cost like 1400euros i think on sale back then. 5 years ago, he bought a 75" TCL google tv he will replace this summer just because the smart functions are not working. I am taking that tv because he will throw it to the recycling center Inatead of selling it cheap. And it wasn't a cheap tv either with its soundbar. Over 2000 euros without sale and he always use the smart functions.
You need a separate house just to accommodate the bezels though.
@phoenixzappa7366 Or 1 big wall. Can't describe how tiny 50" is after getting the 75" . I was very afraid it would not fit since I have bookshelf and stuff on the walls around it and considering how tiny my apartment is I never go back to anything under 70.
@@Serathera
Interesting. I just bought a 50 inch Hisense. Was only 329 euro or something. It's only for my bedroom though. I was worried about the 75 inch being too big and having to crane my neck around. I only play games.

No. That’s his dad, that’s fucking normal
As a Hisense employee, we just use kids to make them for a popsicles and we got exposed once so that’s why you haven’t heard of someone using a Hisense since forever.

As a Wii U owner, of course it’s Hynix.
My condolences brother.
same here brother
my brother and i had to buy another Wii U because of it. We lost about $600 worth of downloaded games because we left the system alone for 6-8 months. (That price isn't even including DLC either, just downloaded games, we suffered a huge L)
Luckily mine is Samsung
Samsung is clearly the better korean brand of the 2 @@idk-sy3iu
He really is the greatest technician that’s ever lived. 🫡
Damn straight 🫡🤧
The Wii U Also has a really similar problem with hynix chips. They just die due to data corruption all of the sudden. Not all consoles has this same issue, but its possible to just fully replace the chip via soldering with something called a "NAND-AID"
Havnt had that problem, but mine stopped connecting to the TV sadly.
Hynix is known to cause problems in GPUs also.
I’ve been hearing that a lot. I’m curious what makes their chips so unreliable. Either way it’s infuriating that the customer is the one to pay the price when this happens. Also love your GPU repair videos, keep it up!
@@SalemTechsperts Distributors want cheap chips to up their profit margin, so the manufacturer delivers. Capitalism at play, again.
This one really spoke to me. My grandfather developed dementia before passing away from cancer in April of 2018. Watching someone you've known for years slowly forget you is heartbreaking. Since then my grandmother really got into K-Dramas and she is always calling, asking me tech related questions. It really helped her take her mind off of my grandfather's passing. You have an amazing family and I'm glad you can still have a sense of humor about things!! We're always here to support THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN WHOEVER LIVED!! 😎
All this death lately is disgusting I feel very sorry you had to go through this. Sad part is nobody knows really what is beyond the veil of death. Is there nothing at the end of death or is it just the beginning of a new life? WHO KNOWS all I know is I hope you get better from this we lost a few animals and if it's one thing I hate is death entirely many beliefs point out to incarnation rather than an afterlife maybe there's both.
Andy, I can really feel you, my grandma (who I live with) also has dementia and she's always bugging me or my parents to fix her tv when she messed up the input or the receiver turned off. She's always talking about how much she misses my grandpa, and how much I should visit her grave, etc. I'm really sorry and can't imagine just how hard it is for your dad. Anime, math (physics and c++ as well) and piano are the only things that are keeping me from going insane and I can't imagine how fuched you'd be if you don't have an escape to your reality😢
It's horrible man, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. Just know that you're not alone. There are people out there, even on this shit hole called the internet, that are going through the same things. With those hobbies, you're destined to do your grandma proud. There are always people in a worse position, and my Dad taught me it makes no sense crying now, we can do that later. Right now is the time to laugh.

He truly is the greatest technician that ever lived, you are truly a gift to this world.
The subtle tone of “it’s not the tv, it’s who it’s for.” is palpable, mad respect doing what you can to help your parents and using you platform to speak up on lazy and irresponsible business practices. You and Rossmann are a class above🤙🏻
Hisense says f^^%you this is life you bought the tv enjoy now🤣🤣🤣
I have a Hisense too. If you can find a newer model main board with the same pin connections for the ribbons, you might be able to jury-rig it by cutting the plastic around the inputs and mounting it manually. It doesn't matter if it's android or google OS, also. Screen size is mostly irrelevant since it's the same board size. Same gen H9E and H9O boards are available online. Newer U6G or U6H models could also work, but without the RCA inputs.
😊
Up. Hope this works.

Reject Smart TVs. Embrace classic dumb TVs. The greatest that have ever lived.
I'm still rocking a 15 year old 50 inch Panasonic Viera Plasma TV, don't need to spend $$$ on a Smart TV

@@brandonhayes5460 CRT's are the greatest TV that ever existed 😂
There are plenty of old CCFL TVs steel going strong. However, I want to score a first gen 4K TV from the early 2010s.

It's literally a few dollars to fix and it's now running for 6 years after the repair.
My grandfather used the same television for 40 years. These "defects" are actually features. Make us replace everything every 3 years.
the way to fix this one is find a working one, flash the firmware from the chip to copy it, solder on a new chip, flash said firmware back
@@escapetherace1943 Yeah, I don't even have this t.v. just making a point. I did have to open up my computers and game systems a couple times to clean them out but most people are electronically illiterate and can barely change a batter let alone solder something.
@@makokx7063 I'm down to do it and am pretty familiar with firmware flashing but for me it's just hobby stuff. It is utterly ridiculous how these things break so fast though. They may not last 40 years like some old CRTs but they should be lasting 15-20 minimum based on part longevity
@@escapetherace1943 Agreed. I personally don''t mind replacing things every 10 years or so but for how much things costs it's crazy how short some of their life spans are.

PREACH
Man, I had a Samsung TV that the audio on it started to get all wonky, and even muted, as the brightness of the screen changed, it would make weird hissing sounds and pops and clicks. Then the display died, but the audio started to work. So, me being me, I took it apart! (On my bed, wife was NOT happy!)
I decided to take the good ol rework station to it after inspecting the boards. The tv was like 4 years old, and had tin whiskers like you would not believe! So, I resoldered the boards, and good as new! Gave it to my dad when I upgraded to a 70" TV like 5 years ago, and he is still screaming at it today while he watches college basketball and football.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is installed everywhere, so that the product breaks exactly 1 day after the warranty period has expired😖
Makes me wonder if mine will have the same issue. Mine was $1k as well, but it's an 85". Only error it's given every time it's turned on is low storage for the past year.
"ingest phallus" is something getting added immediately to my vocabulary. Never seen someone say that so eloquently.
Hey tiny raccoon hands; I too am an Electronic Technician and had the same thing happened to me with an Insignia TV, and after 3 year's the Main I.C., that does almost all functions - slowly died.
First, odd things from time to time, then 6 month's ago the screen slowly went black - from left to right, like if a curtain was pulled over the picture...though I was able to hear the broadcast in the background. Tried other functions, nothing...not even O.S.D.
I tried to source the board through Best Buys, turd party parts depot - 0 luck. And this is only one small board (8" sq'd) that runs the whole thing.
I could get the I.C. from Ebay ( for the cost of a new/refurbished tv), but then have to program it!
Next T.V., I am going to put heatsinks on these S.O.C IC's and may place a laptop P.C. fan on the top side to draw the heat out faster!
Best of luck 😊
The reprogramming is the hardest part because if your chip failed it probably means EVERYONE ELSE had the same problem! Next TV we're disconnecting internet and attaching a Mini PC to it!
I'm a cable cutter, I like O.T.A., I like do things the old fashioned way...in fact I wish the brought back Analog TV...regardless, you would get a channel.
And if I need Net flix, or Tubi, etc.; I'll do what you do, the P.C.
But, seriously that, S.O.C. (RX'es, decodes HDTV, and hand of sound to the Amp) gets frigging HOT, along with the other components.
It's nice to see that besides all the swearing and roasting the greatest technician that's ever lived does, he is actually a very caring person.
To see that you bought a TV for your dad makes me respect you way more than I already respect you(My respect for you was already very high).
I wish you and your family great health and to live the best you can
Thank you. The CZcams persona is here just to make people laugh. Cause at the end of the day all we can do is laugh or cry. Rather laugh now cry later.
Life in itself is generally very sad for everyone. even the greatest technician ever isn't immune the general passing of time and watching things get worse. Thank you for making the effort to make content keep us entertained. Mad respect
Lol I bought a tv years ago that was 1080p that was over 2k new. I got it second hand for 500 bucks six months after it was bought. With it not wanting to stay on I bought a new power cord and used it for 3 years and it stopped working I opened it up and fixed the problem. 2 years later it went out again and couldn't Diagnosed the problem so I just went over every solder point and it's worked for the next 3 years
I know how hard it is watching a parent having to take care of someone
I hope your family will be ok.
Brother, from the bottom of my heart I salute you. Keep making contents, never stop!
Also my salute to your patents! Godspeed.
My grandmother had Alzheimer's dementia, so I understand how hard that is just by itself. I pray everything goes well for you.
As for that picture, I see that being a badass will never be forgotten
Thanks for telling me about this. I don't know if it's the same model, but my Hisense TV had trouble connecting to my wifi recently. Fingers crossed it isn't the same problem, because I can't afford a new one right now.
