Hey everybody it's Bruce and this video you get to see my television blow up after I've attempted to repair it enjoy A few weeks ago my wife and I were watching some TV when suddenly our TV blew up Well, I didn't really blow up it just kind of I made a popping sound and some white smoke started pouring out the bottom so a little bit after that I decided to go ahead and take the television apart See if I could see what might be wrong with it just out of chance I'm not and electrician or anything like that, but you know I played with Arduino and made a couple circuits so I don't know a tiny tiny bit So I looked at it and one thing I could see is looked like some of the capacitors had like got puffy and so I thought that might be the problem. I went on to something electronic like Trishon's form or something like that and and kind of Told them about my story and several people said yeah, that could be the problem probably is a problem But it may not be the root of the problem So anyway, I kind of learned a little bit about the capacitors You know just looking at the numbers and then went on eBay and I actually found almost exactly the same ones different brand but same specifications exactly the same size and everything for about a eight dollar shift or something like that to my house So I went ahead and and purchased those and like a couple weeks later they arrived come came from China and so I went ahead and tried to install them it was pretty easy to take the old ones out I just you know heated up the solder and they pulled out they did have some kind of weird plastic thing at the other end of them That was kind of capturing them, but it wasn't a big deal to get them out as you can see right here in the video So then I just soldered in the new ones and that was pretty simple too and at that point I was feeling pretty hopeful I was thinking okay this might work You know the old ones came out easy the new ones went in easy everything looks fine so I went ahead and started the television up and Immediately I was worried because I could hear this like little scratching sound almost like a rodent you know a mouse running or something in a wall It was just kind of a strange sound and you know, I don't think a Television like this should have any kind of mechanical sounds like that it sounds like Something is moving or whatever and I don't also heard that sound before the other one blew up Basically like the day before I heard some strange sound coming out coming from behind the television so Anyway, so that sound started happening again Right when I turned it on here so right away. I was pretty Worried that it wasn't gonna work, but anyway it kept playing and so I let it play and well you can see what happened next Day Oh Open the door Yeah, this is exactly the same thing that happened the first time to so I think it it probably Popped those three capacitors again and there must be a reason why that it did that you know Something must be causing them to blow up. I don't know what it is and I'm not Good enough in electronics to really diet notes and figure out what the root cause of it is So at this point I'm probably just gonna recycle this TV and get a new one But I thought I would go ahead and share the video just so anybody else might get some value out of it If nothing else, hopefully you enjoyed watching the the smoke pouring out of the television. I thought that was kind of cool looking Anyway, that's it. Talk to you all later. Bye
