These days, many people believe that the TV repairman has gone the way of the Maytag Repairman. Supposedly, today’s televisions are so well made and dependable that a repair service is rarely if ever needed. This is partly true because modern TVs are tubeless. Back in the old days becoming a TV repairman was a lucrative business until picture tube or cathode ray tube (CRT) TVs were replaced by plasma displays, LCD or liquid crystal display technologies, OLEDs or organic light emitting diodes, digital light processing or DLP TVs, flat screen televisions, HDTVs or high definition TVs, and big screen projection televisions.
Even though CRTs are a thing of the past, you may still need to seek the services of a TV Repair Portland Company that can repair everything from antique TVs to those using the latest technology. One thing people ask is if a set with a broken or cracked screen can be repaired. The answer is no, and you would be better off buying a new set. The repair company can make an offer on the broken TV and remove it for no charge. But there are many other things that can be fixed. These include no picture, no sound, a horizontal line or a vertical line on the screen, and the sound of a large pop coming from the television.
Have you ever experienced the infamous pop of death? You might be surprised at how common this issue is with LCD, HDTV, Flat Screen, and Plasma televisions. This is when the television emits a loud popping sound followed by the loss of image and/or sound. The cause may be the inverter board, the panel, and the power supply. A TV Repair Portland Service will be able to diagnose and repair the issue.
Another issue with flat screen televisions and LCD TVs pertains to pixel loss. This may manifest itself as vertical or horizontal lines on the screen. Black pixels usually mean they are dead, and this requires board replacement which can be handled by a good televisions repair Service Portland. The company should have parts for your TV on hand so you don’t have to wait too long to watch your TV again. They usually also offer new and refurbished TVs for practically everyone’s budget.
