Quick LED TV Repair Tips

Most homes across the country now have the latest in television technology, the LED television. And, like most electronics, there will be some reason that makes you need LED TV repair. Repair costs for advanced technology can be expensive, so if the damage is relatively minor, like a stuck pixel, try these tips to repair it yourself.

When a single point on the screen either stays lit or goes dark, that’s the sign of a dead or stuck pixel. More than one in an area can be a real problem. This is usually caused by transistors wearing out or if the liquid of the LCD tv display stops being spread out evenly.

Picture burn-in is also pretty common when it comes to these newer type of sets. It can happen after repeated watching of standard format on a display that is set up work widescreen viewing. An example would be dark vertical line on either side of the screen.

Try these fixes first before buying a new set. Tuck a pen tip down into a damp washcloth and find the dead pixel on your screen. Then stick the pen and cloth onto the area and press gently. Make sure you don’t damage any surrounding pixels, too. With the pen in place, turn off the TV. When you turn it on again the pixel should be fine.

Tapping on the dead pixel can also get it to work again. With the pointed end of a marker cap, tap on the pixel until you see a white glow, being mindful not to scratch to dent the screen. If you don’t see the glow, tap a little harder. After a while the pixel should start working again.

Another repair option is a device called PixelTuneup. Not only does this machine repair video signals, it also fixed stuck pixels. All you have to do is turn off your Television, set up the device, and then turn it on again and let it run for about twenty minutes. One more round of turning the TV off to remove the device, and when you turn it on again the pixels should be fixed.

PixelTuneup is a revolutionary machine in that it’s one of the few on the market designed to fix pixel and burn-in as well as enhance your viewing experience by correcting contrast, color, and image. Plus it’s a lot cheaper than going to a repair shop where costs can start at two hundred dollars. So try to do your repair yourself first and save some cash.
