it could be the cable inside your room. dumaan yan sa splitter. so splitter and cable terminator and cable itself.

weird how the tv needs reprogramming. tv just needs hdmi input selection.

Sharp guy just came over our house. He said that main/mother board is busted because he is unable to access the service menu. PLUS, it is unable to store memory/channels already. That is also the cause why the TV won't turn off.

I bought the Sharp Aquos 24" TV for P8500 in 2014. Sharp said the parts + labor will cost me P4332. Parts and warranty 3 mos lang. I am thinking if I should just wait until it stops working. Bunot na lang talaga sa saksakan and reprogram everytime I open it. Sharp guy said he is not sure if this can last 1 year pa.

I am so depressed kasi sira 2 auto ko, sira tv ko, BFF ko ikakasal na, best boss ko aalis na. WOW!!!! The sharp guy even said my TV model is very mabenta and this is the first time he encountered at busted mother board

Anyway my Mom said she will give P6000 and I can add na lang so I can buy a new TV hahaha. I am thinking I will buy a Smart TV na lang kaya so I can watch youtube on TV? or pagawa ko na lang, may sukli pa ko sa P6000 that my Mom will give me.

Replace your TV ... if you got a defective unit, some other part may conk out after repairing the mother board ...

[monty_GTV]

LG or Sony for OLED, Samsung for QLED.

Reading this thread, it seems to me that failures are somewhat random. Some have units more than 10 years, some not so lucky.

I assume that everyone is using an AVR, surge suppressors, line filters and grounding? Even with this setup, not a guarantee that appliances can last a decade. I had two LCD's conk out for half that time and I change the motherboard of my desktops every 4-5 years. Funny thing is, the processors are still working fine but will be very difficult finding a brand new motherboard because of newer standards being frequently introduced.

I think I found the culprit why some don't last that long. There are average quality components and good quality components.



Ref: ud_use

As you can see, the lower the temperature, the longer it lasts for both qualities. I think appliances in a cooler environment will last longer. This is the reason why processors last a lot longer than the motherboard because it has a heatsink and fan.

Knowing the Philippines, it could get unbearably hot during summer. It's either we turn off all appliances during the sweltering heat or switch on the A/C. Maybe an electric fan blowing towards your LED TV or a blower fan like those found in PCs, can do wonders to its lifespan.

Failure can also be attributed to solders. Solders have a melting point of 188°C. Operating your LED TV in a summer hot 40°C room coupled with the heat of the electronics can induce thermal stress which can loosen solder joints overtime and might cause shorting as well, causing unit malfunction.

My 2 cents worth.

[gecsanchez]

another reason could be some TV sets are not used much. in our house we have three and only one (tv with roku for netflix iflix and youtube) gets more viewing time.

[jaggerx3]

We had an LCD 32 Inch Samsung brought 2008 pa. Still working very good. It's the one in our living room. While yung 32 inch na Sony LED tv namin doesn't par with the picture quality ng samsung na luma. 2015 bought yung Sony.

i'm not using AVR, surge suppressor, line filter nor grounding.
i am thinking, our TV has something like those, built in, as it's a multivolt model.
my still-functioning flat screen CRT TV is over 15 years old.
i've been lucky, i suppose.
our TV set is located beside the open window that doesn't get wet, even in strong rain.
the instruction is to always put these appliances away from heat and wet.

errr...
solid capacitors... "XX times longer than ...what?"

many stores sell gadgets that are supposed to help cool laptop bottoms. personally, i think these gadgets actually work.

Electrolytic caps are prone to leaks

Iba parin doc... yung AVR will protect your stuff from surges above 240V. (depending on how good your AVR is, it will either protect your stuff or die trying)

errr...

Mostly related to computer hardware... yung mga electrolytic/fluid capacitors vs solid state capacitors. Most caps are rated in hours at a certain temperature. The solid state capacitors do longer hours...

Helps primarily if your laptop has poor cooling design to begin with (most common culprits I've seen are some of the dells and hps)

Mostly seen on the electrolytic capacitor plague era (2000s). Dumami yung gumamit ng solid state capacitors at that time, but I've seen 10-15 year old computer motherboards with normal electrolytic capacitors still being run 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

[dr. d]

so, are today's electronic gadgets better made, or cheaper (less better) made?
i mean, choice of materials, and not design.

Speaking of which...


Are Sony TVs still any good? There was a time it was the go to brand for TVs. Still remember that they pioneered that PIP which allowed you to watch 2 channels at the same time.

Now with Samsung and LG smart LED TVs which are full-featured, I don't know if people still buy Sony.

but that's just my belief.

yes, Sony still is very good. their current A1 series is one if not the best in the tv market today. very expensive nga lang.

LG uses its OLED screens, Samsung its QLED. and Sony uses oled from LG.

Same here. Never had any other TV brand but Sony.
