- Another item saved from the waste stream! This TV was brought to me instead of being thrown out as the people knew I like to try and save stuff! They didn't want it but were pleased to not throw it out!
I saved it - now I can sell it! 😁

I wish more people would have a go at this stuff. Great work! I like to fix stuff at every opportunity I get too.
Totally agree! Most jobs are well within the skill set of anyone who wants to have a go! 😊
I have learned so very very much from this video thank you so so very much I've learned that I just need to buy a new TV😂🎉
Hahaha, well at least you are looking on the bright side! 🤣🤣
Great fix.
Went better than the last TV I tried fixing. It had no backlight. I thought the backlight controller was bad. Even the power supply repair manual pointed to replacing that chip. Didn't work. People seem to think the LEDs are what went bad. But by then I had already gotten rid of it.
They don't build them to last, like everything today.
Exactly Hugh, what do they call it "planned obsolescence"? Annoying that there's no thought of planning going into design these days with repair in mind. I have done some TV backlight jobs with success - but maybe just lucky!
No way @Hugh Jeffreys watches the ultimate recycler!
Empty container at the end was great. I never seem to reach that. Thank you
Haha neither does Christine!! 🤣🤣
Nicely fixed, I'm somewhat surprised to see the aerial socket still in use... I'd have just bypassed it with a cheap freeview box, satellite box, dvd, blueray, game box or even an old video. I'm guessing what I'm saying, is there's more than one way to skin a cat and with modern TVs as long as you have a working hdmi or AV socket the original owner could have bypassed the damaged socket and even upgraded the TV, no soldering skill required if the had wanted to.
Yes, absolutely Martin and I had even mentioned that to the lady that dropped it off! I guess they never thought of that and just went out and purchased a new TV!
Exactly. You can buy some cool little box gadgets for around $10. I got one for digital TV . on my retro game 51'. Old tube
I need it to play virtual cop, house of the dead & all my other light gun saturn shoot em up imports . The little device can record TV, read different micro cards & all sorts of handy stuff. It opens & plays everything in my loaded H.D unlike my smart TV. It reads & plays back any format.
Yet another good vid Chris. I allways enjoy your repair sessions, I often do my own repairs similar to you, but you put out the videos and make it entertaining ! Thank you. Ian T.
Thanks Ian! 😊
Another good fix !! . It's also handy to have a supply of e-waste circuit boards on standby. 👍
I didn't have many boards in the tub, but one to do the job at least! Thanks AF 😊
Good job Chris 😀
Thanks Dave! 👍😊
Lovely job Chris, definitely a worthwhile repair.
✌♥️🇬🇧
.. and very satisfying! Thanks Les ✌👍😃
Nice save
Thanks Wayne! 😊
Nice fix! 😁📺
Thanks Geoff! 👍😊
Nice repair ! Well done
Thanks Retif 😊👍
Good fix Chris
Thanks Graham 👍😊
Great video, I’ve exactly the same problem with my Baum
Thanks Richard, hope you were able to fix it! 😊👍
Brilliant
Thanks Graham! 😊👍
Someone will come into purchase this and you will tell them all proud how you fixed the aerial port.
Then they'll turn around and tell you they don't watch TV these days and will use a chrome cast or similar device for CZcams, Netflix etc. 😂
More than likely! 🤣 Still, at least it's back in service 😊
I'll call the repair man. Thanks 😅
Hahaha, fair call! 🤣
Thanks my Tv is repared now
That's excellent Ingrid, well done!! 🙌
If not handy at fixing things. You Can also Use a $10 set top box to hook up ant run via box AV connections (Yellow Res & White plugs )
Yes, you sure can! The owners obviously had never considered this and just went and purchased a new TV..
@@TheUltimateRecycler yep sometimes the bright lights of advertisements cause a cloaking over any alternative cheap simple fixes that would save money on a shiney new set. Funny thing is the old TV will probably continue to out live that expensive new TV they went & purchased.
The real smart TV
Shall be revealed in time...
So Stay tuned 🤣
Ps good repair. 👍
Always worth a try on these things. What's the worst that could happen. It feels good to resurrect a discarded item back to life.
Nothing like those sweet satisfying Simple fix kicks
@@DoctorWEBB Absolutely, that's most of the reward! The fact that I can sell it is just a bonus! 😁
@@TheUltimateRecycler keeping it out of landfill benefits the worms.
Worms with square eyes get wild n wriggly ...
They call them Television programs for a reason.
Thumbs up!
Thanks Micky! 👍👍
My TV has the same problem. I'll try sorting it out
Best of luck!! 😊👍
Nice video, good instruction and easy to watch.
I've just snapped the aerial input on my TV and want to mend it. I'm not sure I have one of those cage things that I can get hold of. Would it also be an acceptable repair (would it work) to solder in a short length of co-ax cable directly to the board and existing cage?
Thanks Jools! Yes, I think that would be an acceptable and perfectly functional fix option! 👍😊
@@TheUltimateRecycler Good stuff. Thanks for the reply. I'll get the TV back online soon then :-)
Keep up the good videos.
@@TheUltimateRecycler soldered it up this evening here.
Mine was more in depth than yours, the cage was full of electronics so I had to pry the middle pin out, solder on some insulated copper wire. Joined that to the central coax wire and soldered the outer to the outer cage. Might be a bit weak but duct tape sorts it. And best not to spaff another grand on a new tv. Thanks for the video help
I wish you could fix my TV. It's got the same problem my neighbor sold me a small 22 inch TV for like $10-$20 a few years ago before he passed away. I could probably plug in a DVD player but I just wanted to attach an antenna buy I can't lol.
You could possibly grab an old VHS player and plug the antenna into that, then feed the signal through the AV input to your TV
Hi there, what resistance would you normally expect on the aerial antenna socket (between the core and the shell)?
I don't actually know, sorry. I don't remember checking a resistance..
Tools used? How many watts required for the solder and gauge wire please?
I don't remember using anything special - just a standard soldering iron and normal leaded solder.
@@TheUltimateRecycler Thank you

Thanks Michelle 😃

Are you shaking your head, or nodding it Bobby?
Terrible design, They always break off
Yep, judging by the comments I've had, it seems to be a common problem! Thanks for watching Terry 😊
Very nicely done. Great work.
Thanks very much! 😊👍
Brilliant
Many thanks Alan! 👍😊
