Damaged LCD TV Because of Lightning

[eminem6480]

Guys, 2 days ago nung kasagsagan ng kidlat nadamage yung Sony LCD TV namin. May ilaw ang power indicator pero black out ang LCD panel display. Nag rerespond yung power indicator kapag pinipindot ang remote control (blinking). Out of warranty na po.

Plan namin na dahil sa Sony service center. Just asking:
- usually sa ganitong damage, anong mga parts ang affected?
- any idea sa service charge ng Sony for checkup at repair?
- sa mga nakatry na magparepair ng Sony LCDs, magkano inabot ng total repair price?
- any idea kung may marunong at trusted na repair shop maliban sa authorized service center? Kung sa Raon kaya?

Maraming salamat!

amuyin mo kung amoy sunog yung tv sa likod nya sa mga vents.
Check mo by introducing a signal ( laptop, game console, dvd player etc )
Check mo kung gumagana yung on screen menu
Kung gumaganayung menu problem nyan e backlight.
Nagkaroon ng elec surge yan so most likely psu problem una check,
Now kung may sound e sa av board yan likely yung sync sep ic.
Pero im sure psu yan..gawin mo lahat ng check ng mabilis kasi kung matagal e may madadamay ng part kapag psu problem

have it brought to the sony repair shop po.
raon might be cheaper and they might even be able to fix it, but... hirap punta raon.. masikip.. matrapik.. madaming tao.. malayo paradahan, jeepney stop, or bus stop, sa pintuan ng repair shop.
the sony repair shop near kalaw has parking 2 feet from the door.
whatever problem you may be able to diagnose DIY-style, you will still have to bring it to the fixit shop, unless you are an electronics-repair savvy..
and no... they do not pad repair expenses, as far as i know..
magkano repair fee? natural, depende kung ano ang nasira.. mura lang diagnosis fee.. they will even advise you if it "is not worth repairing"..

we had experience comparing sony repair shop versus ex-sony technician.. hindi nagkakalayo..

Stay away of Raon as surely you'll be in more trouble than having it fix. For one, LCD tvs goes by board level repairs meaning palit board, rather than component level lang. This is how they are gonna take care of pag sa service center. But then, highly qualified techs an gagawa at cgurado kang it will be fixed. Your cheap version will be a trusted neighborhood electronics repair shop who has the ability to diagnose device level on pcb. He should have the right tools though rather than a trial & error method.

YOu can bring it to a Sony Centre near you.

If they can't fix it, they will instead give you an 8K voucher so you can have an 8k discount for your next tv purchase (which of course, is a Sony).

Same thing happened to an aunt, her old Sony LCD TV conked out (screen was damaged, because something was thrown at it). She bought a 40" WB600 internet TV instead. She's almost 80 so she's not really into internet but she just bought it because I recommended it (for her grandchildren).

Guys, wala namang amoy sunog sa likod ng TV. Still no signal nung kinabit ko yung laptop through HDMI, same with Xbox. Blackout talaga ang display and no sound.

We've decided na sa Sony Service Center na dalhin yung unit. PhP600 ang checkup fee. Kung lumabas na yung total repair cost at malapit lang sa brand new baka hindi na namin ituloy ang pagpapagawa.

Maraming salamat guys sa input nyo, I really appreciate it. Thanks!

Wala ba kayo gamit na regulator or electrical surge protector?

Bakit nagkakadamage LCD now wala naman ng antenna?

Most likely a power surge caused by lightning instead of hitting the antenna

[dr. d]

in my experience, the more common problem with my sonys is... the power switch!
for some reason, madali siyang masira.. fortunately, madali ring gawin.
sabi nga ng isang tech, lagyan ko na lang ng mechanical toggle switch, at forever fixed na siya.. heh heh.

sir, 'yan po ba 'yung "Automatic Voltage Regulator"?

di ba hindi na po kailangan 'yan kasi "AutoVolt" na ang mga LCD TVs ngayon?

What everybody needs but is usually ignored, is proper grounding (that third prong on most plugs). Unfortunately, this is not a common practice in residential wiring because of the added cost during construction. If they do employ 3-holed receptacles, it may not even have a functional ground.

AVRs, surge suppressors, UPSes, including most appliances that employs a built-in surge suppression circuit, works best only if it can find the path of least resistance to dissipate the electrical surge. This is to say that these surge suppressors will only work if a path to ground exists. Otherwise, extensive damage to sensitive components can occur and may even cause injury to nearby people who may be touching the equipment at the time of the strike.

When I had my home renovated, I insisted that areas where high-valued appliances were situated (ie. main computer, home theater, server closet, water heaters and the whole kitchen for safety) were to have a functional three-hole grounded outlets. Touching a metal sink or faucet while your other hand accidentally touching an ungrounded appliance will oftentimes results to electrocution.

Fyi, another entry point for surge is through the cable TV/internet and telephone/DSL).

ok ba magpakabit ng lightning arrester? will this prevent lightning surge?

It should, as long as it's grounded to earth properly.

[crazy_boy]

It should, as long as it's grounded to earth properly.

sabi sa akin ng electrician is may surge protector/fuse daw sa dulo, and it can protect the whole house na daw.

Lightning arrester is useless without the grounding rod.. Static electricity path is always towards the earth, without the proper path(grounding) static will make its way to the electronics up to the power outlet ir anything near the ground.. The ideal loop of grounding system is 4 to 8 ohms.

Surge protection will depend on how the surge enters the line. Usually its line-ground-neutrAl.all those points of entry must be fused line- to-line and line-to-ground using a varistor or gas discharge fuse.

Automatic Voltage Regulator - yung word na "regulator" means ime-maintain niya yung voltage sa desired level usually 220v.

Autovolt - ibig sabihin kaya or compatible ang isang appliance sa specific range ng voltage, e.g. 100-240V

so kung Autovolt ang TV mo, i.e. 100 to 240V, pero nag power surge above 240V, sabog pa din TV.

Ako AVR tsaka lightning arrestor ang gamit ko nakakabit yun arrestor sa cable wire.

Electro static discharge ang minsan fault since most tv today use sensitive iC which are very sensitive to elec surges unlike solid state devices na mataas ang tolerance against ESD or ES kaya advisable talaga na may proper grounding ang lahat ng devices.avr are not 100 % effective as everyone might think.from time to time nagkakaroon din ng spike yang mga yan.my advice if using an antenna install a ground rod or a lightning arrester.disconnect the aerial antenna from your tv kapag may thunderstorm kasi kahit nakapatay unit mo prone parin na madamage.
