  What was the best thing someone gave you because they didn't want it any more ?  It could be broken or working.  If broken, what did you do to fix it?

  My TV has been having the same issue since Friday. I couldn't figure out where the issue was. On Sunday, I came across a video by another guy who suggested putting tape on the pins. He didn't explain why or where, he just said you must tape 14 to 16 pins or so. I tried it and it didn't work. Then yesterday I came across your video while I was at work. I watched it multiple times and when I got home I tried the method again. First attempt it didn't work, and on the second attempt I removed the tape on one pin and it worked right away. It took less than 10 minutes for me to get it to work. I like how clearly you explained the whole concept. You literally saved me money since I was considering buying another TV set. You're a lifesaver.

  I am a 67 year old woman who has always loved (since my childhood) to repair appliances. I had a 55" TV that was not working after only 3 years. I discovered this video and started to repair it. My TV is working great after a few hours to find the tiny little part to put the tape in. Thanks for sharing your genius!

  I had to come back to this video for a reason.. my Panasonic led tv had same flickering issue they sent a technician from Panasonic but he couldn't repair it and said ill have to go for screen replacement which was costing me price of a new tv...also he told me that this tv has absolutely no value now if I give it in exchange for new tv.. I denied screen replacement and started searching on yt for solution and came across this video. I'm glad to say I've fixed the tv myself just by watching this video..their technician failed to do this simple fix. Thank you for making this video you saved my $$

  My son and I fixed his Sony TV today with your trick. We both were surprised that it worked in the end. We had a bit trouble finding the Clock lines because they were labelled on one connector but not on the other. Finally we managed it and are very satisfied. <br>Of course you can still see some lines but only if you are near to the TV.

  I love how much clear info you gave in 10 minutes...this same amount of info in other videos takes 55 minutes with intros and people trying to display all aspects of their personality...and by the time you&apos;re done watching...you&apos;re exhausted and you decide to just buy a new TV and be done with it.
