I have 2 shaded vertical bands (about 6” wide) on my Hisense 50H5G LED LCD TV. The bands have sharp edges, a shaded...

I replaced the driver board. Traces were dissolved, likely from “Windex syndrome”. A few lines exist from alignment/bonding problems.

DMR-EH75V: Display had a several days of glitches, U99 error code twice and then F60 error code with final no operation. Replace 5 electrolytic capacitors by inspection on mentioned board - 1 x 56uF, 50V; 3 x 120uF, 16V; 1 x 560uF, 16V Unit works, very relieved. I really like these recorders. Thanks, all.

I messed up the strips a little die to this and that, but I don’t think it is a big deal, in reality. Good documentary, here.

I would initially recommend a well-lit, comfortable area and placing the screws on a white piece of paper with the screw sizes written down (apparently there are magnetic mats, also). Also, I found placing the phone on a paper towel is good so that if a screw is dropped, it will lessen the likelihood of bouncing away.

I would start with a preliminary test fit of the battery to be familiar with how the battery needs to exactly be placed before applying the adhesive strips.

I would recommend using a little grease on the tip of the screwdrivers to stick the screws to the driver (even thought they’re magnetic). Commonly, dielectric tune-up grease from automotive stores - it did WONDERS in not fumbling or losing screws.

I also recommend a test-fit of the battery before applying the adhesive strips to be familiar with the needed battery location i.e. where the connector needs to be placed.

Note: the connectors DO snap in place.

I didn’t think this was necessary, bit I see it relieves stress on the front-facing camera and sensor cable connector; I did not disconnect the display connector nor remove the display screen.

This screen removal step got more wrestley than I anticipated. The adhesive is quite strong. I used a flat-ended razor tool that I have to begin the prying - I don’t know how I would have got it started without this.

My battery was completely loose in place - I just picked it out.

Pull all three steadily at an angle just above the metal components below the battery. Wrap the strips, in a looping motion, around your finger to take up the slack, similar to winding dental floss - they stretch far, as stated, and circulation in your will be to be cut off - get through it with out too much dilly-dallying.

Starting from the left, pull the strip to the center strip with tweezers, then punch together with left fingers. Next, pull the right strip with the tweezers to the two already together. Grab all three with left fingers. It is a little difficult, but just do as common sense tells you.

I found prying from the right to be better
