Where to Get Technical Repair Information on LCD Televisions
If you are an electronics repair professional and are looking to get some technical information for a certain model unit you are working on, then you probably know that finding such data is not something that is easy to do. You will find that most manufacturers, while they do offer operating manuals through their online portals, are not really that open in sharing their repair or service manuals and schematic diagrams. The sharing of such information appears to be regulated and is only given to authorized service providers of the brand. The same is true if you are trying to look for repair information on LCD flat screen televisions.
The growth in the LCD flat screen market has also resulted in the growth of the demand for LCD TV repair services. As such, repair shops that used to specialize in the waning CRT TV industry are now seeing a growing potential in the flat screen market so, in order to keep their shops open, they are now migrating their specialization to flat screens displays like LCD televisions and monitors, plasma screens, etc. But where do you get the technical data that you will need to figure out this new breed of televisions?
The answer to this question is not straightforward but there are a lot of online sites that offer access to service and repair manuals databases. Most of these sites are offering them on a pay-per-download basis so you will need to shell out some cash to obtain some relevant technical information that you need to repair a particular model that you are not familiar with.
There are a rare few that offers them free of charge but they will usually have smaller databases; they won't be able to provide the manuals and schematic diagrams on many models.
One good option is to look for those repair training membership sites that offer access to huge technical databases but they will usually require a one-time membership fee which should be worth it considering the information and database access that you will get with the membership. That's like a library of technical manuals and schematics at your fingertips!
