Are LCD tv's designed to be repaird?

[mfred868]

I have several LCD tv's for repair, and im finding it impossible to get spair parts, i have 3, 9inch dvd players and 2, 15inch tv's all of which the back light tubes are faulty, on one of the sets the tubes had become so hot on the ends that the glass is broken, on the others the tubes are blackened on the ends. the inverters are in working order on all the tv's.

I am aware that 'clean room' conditions are required when working on the lcd pannel, but where on earth can i get replacement cold cathode tubes from??? in my view i think a CRT has a longer life span than a cold cathode tube!

Hi there.

The tubes are a nightmare to get hold of, but you can measure them and buy ones of similar size from www.mouser.com a US company. They post items under 4lbs to the UK cheaply.
