Your TV is a delicate item and also an indispensible one in your household. In order to prolong its life, you can take certain measures such as:

i) Never clean your TV with soap water directly: The TV is an electronic item. Any amount of water or soap, however small, can damage its internal components. Usually when you clean your TV directly with soap water, the water drips into the lower side components of TV thereby causing a short circuit in the components, thus rendering them unusable. To protect such condition, it is advisable to spray some liquid on a dry and clean cotton cloth and wipe your TV with it.

ii) Never keep your TV on standby for long periods of time: You should not keep your TV on standby mode for a long period of time as any stray or induced sudden current from your dish or cable can severely damage the TV components. So, it is advisable to always switch off the main line of TV.

iii) Protect your TV screen: A TV screen is one of the most delicate and expensive components of your TV (generally not more than 1-1.5 mm thick). One should not apply any undue pressure on the screen at any cost. Special care should also be taken while cleaning it or during transport.

Horizontal and vertical lines on an LED TV screen can be quite irksome and can hamper our viewing experience. It is one of the most common faults that come in a TV. Horizontal and vertical lines on an LED TV screen can be caused by a fault in T-CON Board, Scalar PCB, COF IC or Display Panel of the TV. Let’s understand all the terms in detail:

It receives information about pixels from Scalar PCB and decides when the illuminate and turn off a particular pixel to create a picture on the LED TV screen. When you T-con board is faulty, it is not able to create proper picture on the LED TV screen and thus shows horizontal and vertical lines on the LED TV screen.

2) Problem with Scalar PCB: Scalar PCB obtains picture information from the motherboard and converts it into pixel data to send it to T-CON board. Scalar PCB is where the actual picture data is created and if it is faulty, your LED TV repair expert will need to replace or repair the Scalar PCB. You can always call Tradikin to get an expert LED TV repair technician for your LED TV.

Sometimes an LED TV can malfunction due to excess dust in it. For that, you can always book an expert TV repair service technician from Tradikin.

3) Wet the cloth, not the screen: The sprayed water droplets seep through the side frame of the TV and damage the internal components of the TV. Most of the cases of vertical and horizontal lines on LED TV are caused by this. Instead, you should spray water on the cloth, make it moist, squeeze out the extra water from it, and wipe the oil strains off the screen by the moist cloth. Even after that if some water seeps through the TV screen, you can get it repaired in minimum costs from expert TV repair mechanic from Tradikin.

4) Use mild soap solution: If you feel that a particular oil smudge is too resistant to be cleaned only by a wet cloth, you can spray a mild soap solution on a soft cloth, wipe your LED TV screen from it, followed by a dry cloth.

5) Put minimum pressure on the screen: While cleaning your LED TV screen, you should make sure that you do not put much pressure on your TV screen. LED TV Screens are delicate and can break with the slightest pressure on a particular spot.

Our TV is not just a piece of machinery in our house, it’s a family member. It has more memories attached to it than any other piece of machinery. Our TV has seen all the remote fights between siblings, our tears when our favorite TV serial character dies and our happiness when the hero beats the villain. It’s not easy to discard your old LED TV when it’s faulty and buy a new one. So, before you set out to find the best TV Repair service provider near me, ask yourself these questions to make a sound decision on whether to repair your LED TV or replace it.

1) How old is your TV?: Our older TVs tended to be durable and long lasting. The old CRT TV and the early LCD TV is famous for being durable. However, after the old CRT and LCD TV, the TV technology has taken a major leap with the new age smart LED, OLED and QLED TV. So, as a thumb of rule, if your TV has older than 7-8 years and you need to get your TV Repaired, instead of finding a reliable TV Repair service center near me, you should discard it and get a new one.

2) Has your TV been repaired before?: Our LED and LCD TV is a delicate piece of technology and may get problems like TV screen issues, motherboard problem, water damage, power supply issue, horizontal and vertical lines on TV screen, sound issues, restart problems, among others. As a rule of thumb, if your TV has needed repairs at least 2 times previously, it’s probably an indication that your TV life is nearing an end. In that case, instead of investing a few thousands to get your old LED TV Repaired near me, you should buy a new one. Also, note that by repairs, we don’t mean repairs due to physical damage like broken LED TV screen, but rather technical issues you faced in your TV.

3) What is the cost of repairs?: This is one of the major factors that we need to consider before trying to find out best TV Repair shop near me. If the cost of repairs is more than 70-80% of the cost of the current price of your TV, you should buy a new one instead of getting it repaired. This is due to the simple logic that if you are planning to spend that amount of money, instead of getting an old TV repaired; buying a new TV makes more sense.
