where can you sell truck loads of broken plasma tvs and lcd all flat screen

What's happening is 'Badcaps'.



There's bad capacitors in all modern electronics. They leak and blow up and ruin the boards.
The other 1/2 of what's happening is broken screens.
Marry the two together and you have a good flatscreen for almost nothing. And they are expensive new.

But, 'Badcaps.com' is a very informative forum, somewhat like 'scrapmetalforum'....
If you get enough flat screens you can marry the good parts together and sell them for profit.

Badcaps can tell you exactly what's wrong with a TV given what its faults seem to be. Just by searching a model number.
You can find out if its bad capacitors, or a fault, or a connection somewhere, it will also tell you how to fix it and if you can just replace components.
It will also sell you 'GoodCaps' to replace the badcaps...... yep.

So given that a TV with a broken screen will be working 90% of the time, just a broken screen.
And a TV with a good screen will have anything fro a 90cent capacitor to be replaced, to a new board, that you may have replaced the potential 'badcaps'
on.

Do the math on that, free Flatscreen plus $1 part, = $300 ca$h.

This is the next thing I'm getting into.
I have a feeling that with the right info I could even upgrade older analogue TVs to Digital reception. But we also have $30 convertor box's to do that anyway.
The biggest screen I have picked up was over 50inch. There's nothing actually wrong with it....
When its turned on there's a echo of part of the picture on one side, as it warms up it gets worse... So they chucked it out.
I searched on badcaps, found that this model has a loose connection to the screen. As it warms up thebscreen expands and the ribbon connectoon slides and the image goes bad.

All you have to do is take the back off, insert a price of foam, sticky backed door seal across the connection and test it out. Then put the back back on..

Free 50inch plus Flatscreen for me. Found it on the side of the road. Beat that!
At the moment I'm using a Plasma screen that went as soon as I plugged it in. (Scratches head, uh, yeah, it goes, that saved some time..)

Plasmas, "Arrrh, the screws, the screws" in my best Quasimodo voice. 455 of them, I counted them.
They break screens. Its dead. Nothings going to fix it. Big boards, some Good Copper wire, snap the toroid's and unwrap the Copper wire.
Extruded Ali, heaps of Copper backed power Transistors. 1/2 to 1 cent of Copper in each. Gold plated boards and ribbon connections.
You can peel the connections off the screen slowly with practise, leaving the Gold on the ribbon on each end.

The backing board behind the glass screen is most of the time a Ali sheet, which may have Ali pegs on it, or easy to pop off Steel pegs.
The screens glued on to the backing sheet... NiChrome wire from a heater element and a cars battery charger and a few wooden wedges and you can peel the screen off the backing sheet. Use safety gear. Gloves glasses.

If you have the time, space and the slightest electronic knowledge, you can fix flatscreens

The other thing that's happening is that people are taking flatscreens with good screens, taking the base off, taping two of the same size front to front and filling shipping containers with them and sending them back to China, India and Korea.
They get reconditioned for the local market.
