ROFLMAO I wonder how he fixed it for you at the end… probably had to pay you money to replace it or get a new one. xD

Asshole he shorted the powersupply out . Did he replace the set . I would never buy a Samsung . Someone gave me a broken set and i repaired it . It worked well for two years and had the same problem with HVPS so I threw it away and got a low end LG that has worked fine for 3 years now

@defendingthekingdom I have a Philips CRT tv and the screen shrunk to less than half the size it was accompanied by a strong electrical smoke smell. Is this the tube burning out or a capacitor do you think?

He should be using a bench… This is why we never repair in customers houses anymore. I hope he knew u was filming tho, because I wouldn’t have accepted that!… It sucks when u short something like that, it happens occasionally to me and scares the crap out of me… It’s even worse then actually getting the zap because u look like an idiot lol.

I’m a Korean myself and its a very rude thing for anyone to walk into their house with shoes on.
well and glad I`m not korean, I thing it would be gross to somebody to go into your house without shoes and with fungus , and get that on your carpet, advice, get tile in your house and people can keep their shoes , how about that?

Lol hes just thinking damn now i need new trousers too

OK how did that man get shocked at 0:57 then what exactlty was it inside the TV that shocked him then it must have been something that still had a very dangerous charge inside that which could have shocked him but that proves that you have to stay away from all the very dangerous parts inside the TV that holds a very dangerous electrical charge and it could hold a very dangerous charge for a very long time and then if you touch that part that is still charged for example you could get shocked

@surfsnook I don’t have a Panasonic TV, so I can’t guide you myself. However, someone has done something very similar to repair their TV. I highly recommend you view their guide:

@ubuntututorials Thank you for responding. By “caps’, do you mean capacitors? It is so upsetting…we buy the Panasonic 42″ plasma TV for $1500, it goes out 1 year and 7 months later, repairman comes, excites a flash of electricity between his finger and it, tells me it will be $500 to fix it, charges me $90 for the visit, and then he leaves. I will try whatever you say and thanks again, friend.

ubuntututorials October 31, 2010 at 12:30 pm

@surfsnook More likely you can just replace the caps. There are hundreds of videos on how to do it. It’ll take you an hour and cost you less than $5.

Why did he have it on the carpet in the first place!?
No way he’s fixing my T.V.!

@Bevoin1970 Cheers from the USA!

defendingthekingdom October 31, 2010 at 1:41 pm

@blo0magic Thank you for the information.

defendingthekingdom October 31, 2010 at 1:55 pm

@MrAussiebogan My advice is to call Samsung and tell them you have a TV that is out of warranty and you need a service person to come out and look at it. If the service technician looks at the TV and determines it will cost too much to be worth fixing, he/she may ask Samsung to give you a new TV for a greatly reducted price and they will pick-up your old TV at the same time. That’s what they did for me. I only had to pay the $100.00 Technician’s fee and $250.00 for the new TV.

defendingthekingdom October 31, 2010 at 2:32 pm

@wastnTIMEwastnTIME I think it did click, but not exactly sure as its been about a year. I think when I tried turning on the TV it would just be a black screen.

blo0magic October 31, 2010 at 3:15 pm

@defendingthekingdom lol. Hes Korean thats why. I’m a Korean myself and its a very rude thing for anyone to walk into their house with shoes on. On the other side i was surprised when i went to a white person’s house and they have their shoes on. Most Asian cultures are like that. They want to be very clean and mannered as possible. I think its better if we understand each others cultures.

surfsnook October 31, 2010 at 3:27 pm

The manufacturer told me which certified repair service to call to diagnose why my 42″ plasma TV, that was 7 months past its 1 year warranty, had no picture. The repairman comes, takes off the back panel, and reaches toward or touches a part and a large blue-ish jolt of electricty jumps an inch or so to his hand. He said it was a capacitor. I asked if that wrecked the whole system, and he said “no”.

Did it? He then said I needed a new main printed circuit board at a cost of over $500.
