What can be made from a broken LCD TV

No one is immune from TV breakdown. And when living with small children and hyperactive animals, the chances of accidentally breaking it increase significantly.

If the matrix in a liquid crystal device is damaged, then in most cases it cannot be repaired, only replaced. It can cost almost as much as a new TV, if not more.

As a rule, in this case, they simply purchase new equipment. But a logical question remains - what to do with the old one? Is it possible to give it a second life? As it turns out, it is possible!

Lamp from a broken LCD TV

First of all, you should disassemble the TV and understand which parts are useful for its manufacture and which are not. What you definitely won’t need anymore is the matrix and its cables. Speakers are also not needed for the lamp, but they can be used for other purposes. So you can detach them, but don't throw them away. The brown and green boards should be left in place; you will understand their purpose a little later.

Having gotten rid of the excess, put everything back together and check its functionality by connecting it to the power supply. If you did everything correctly, you will get a lamp controlled from the remote control. All that remains is to install it in the most suitable place.

To decorate such a lamp, you can find the image you like.And then print it out at any copy center on a translucent adhesive film the size of a TV screen. You can do this on paper, but it transmits less light.

Carefully glue it onto the screen. The result is a device that looks like a picture in a frame during the day, and when darkness falls, it turns into a beautiful lamp.

You can also leave the speakers on. Then get a lamp with an additional radio function.

In addition, you can not glue the sticker, but use the former TV as a lamp with a uniform glow. It can become not only a stylish part of the interior, but also a part of work or a hobby for photographers and aquarists.

REFERENCE. It is recommended to use LED-backlit TVs for these purposes, since older versions with cathode lamps consume a lot of electricity.

Possibility of using hotel TV parts

The options for further use of a faulty TV are not limited to the lamp alone. After all, it contains many useful parts that can be used.

• You can use radio channels as an all-wave receiver.
• The metal back housing perfectly conducts, distributes and dissipates heat. Therefore, it can be used to make an energy-efficient infrared heater. To do this, you will need to connect a carbon heating cable for underfloor heating to it.
• The brown board can be re-soldered and used as an element of an audio amplifier.

If you are absolutely sure that some items will no longer be needed, you can sell them on the appropriate sites. In some cases, it is possible not only to cover the cost of a TV, but even to earn money.In addition, you can sell some electrical elements even in non-working condition.
