It’s a fact of life: TVs break. Own one long enough, and something will almost certainly go awry, whether it’s due to a factory defect, faulty component, or simple a child or pet bumping into it a bit too hard. Do you need to buy an entire new set, or is this something you could fix at home with a bit of ingenuity and elbow grease? iFixit has posted a video addressing just this question. The self-repair experts break down exactly how easy common problems can be to fix–and what major pitfalls can lie between you and a working television, namely, sourcing parts. Of course, the video addresses safety precautions, what can be fixed at home–and what needs to be left to the experts.
