What is the average cost of TV repair service?

While the cost of TVs has gotten lower and lower, the cost of repairing a TV can be extremely high, depending on the severity of the problem. Labor fees contribute to the bottom line on repairs, as technicians need to be up to speed on the latest TV models. The decision to repair or replace a TV can be a difficult one, especially if you really like your TV.Size and Model MatterTV repair costs will vary by location and the type of repair shop you contract to do the repairs. The size and type of TV you have will also factor in, with TVs 42" and up triggering the first price bump. There may be additional charges for plasma or LCD or LED models, but this is unusual. Older analog TVs, on the other hand, may also cost you more just because parts are getting harder to come by. If you own an analog TV, it might be better to just get a new TV and forgo repairs.In-Home ServiceThe days of a TV repairman coming to your house and swapping out a few tubes are long gone. You can still get in-home service, but it's very expensive, unless it's included in an extended service plan you may have purchased when you bought your TV. Of course the extended service plan also adds to the overall cost of your TV.

Should I repair or replace my current TV?

Amazing TV Repair - Using a Hair Dryer - Interesting!A friend of mine told me that his 2 year old 55 inch TV had quit working and he took it to a repair shop. After several days they told him that it needed 2 new boards and the cost would be around $500. He said no thanks, so he took it home, stored it and went out and bought a new TV. I like to dabble with electronics, so about a year later I asked him what ever happened to it. He said he had moved and left but thought it was still just sitting there where he had left it. A couple of days later he brought it to me. I started on it right away. In short time I concluded that the problem was on one board and narrowed it down to one tiny little chip. It is the rectangular black chip with 8 soldered legs right in the center of the picture. It is much smaller than it looks, about an 1/8 of an inch or about the size of a BB . After investigation I found that that there was also another solder point between the chip and the board. My initial thought was I can't fix this, these are soldered in a factory with high tech equipment. After some serious reading, I found that I could use a HAIR DRYER to heat the board and remove the chip with some tweezers. That would only solve half of the problem, somehow I needed to get it a new chip soldered back in it's place. After some more investigation I found some thing called flow solder, never heard of it before. So I watched someone flow solder a chip, it looked do-able. Once you get the old chip off, you have to clean the place where the new chip is going which is exactly where the old one came off. You smear the flow solder over the area ( it's liquid ) and place the new chip exactly where it goes. Then you take the hair dryer and shoot straight down on the chip. If you get any side wind you could blow other chips out of place. You have to be very careful. Just keep the heat on it, and all of a sudden the solder will flow right up the legs of the chip with perfection. It was amazing to watch! It looked just like the original chip had not been moved and the flow solder also soldered the contact on the underside of the chip. It was perfect, I was amazed! Put the board back in the TV and Presto, perfect TV! The best part is that the new chip only cost $1.50 - now isn't that amazing!

Why is it so expensive to get a TV repair?

TVs only have a handful of parts now, they are very highly integrated, a service technician might be able to do basic repairs on the power supply or fix a switch but anything more than that requires manufacturer specific spare parts and those are difficult to get.Keeping a spare parts inventory for every TV model you've ever sold for five years is impractical and the storage cost inflates the price substantially. Then you have to pay someone with skill to repair the devices and that will cost money. If the TV's panel is broken then forget it, this is 90+% of the value of the TV and because the repair house is buying just a handful of panels they don't get any economies of scale to keep prices down. There is a big difference when you buy a container load of panels vs a handful.You used to be able to repair most electronics because they weren't highly integrated and when they broke a component was often obviously burnt out. That doesn't happen so often these days. Changing an HDMI connector because it is mechanically broken is relatively easy, not much more is practical.
