The Complete Handbook of Television Circuit Boards

Modern television sets have become complex assemblies of specialized printed circuit boards, each with its own function, failure modes, and compatibility constraints. The Complete Handbook of Television Circuit Boards cuts through the proprietary haze to give you a working knowledge of these systems. From the PFC and standby power stages on the power supply to the timing controller and column drivers on the display, this handbook explains what each board does and how it fails.

Unlike manufacturer service literature, which is hard to obtain and written for factory-trained techs, this book provides a structured, component-level education. It covers how to safely test live boards, how to identify the root cause of common faults like 'two-second shutdown' or backlight bleed, and how to source compatible replacements without falling for counterfeit parts. For those looking to build a business, it also details the service, resale, and refurbishment markets, and what equipment you actually need to start.

Written for professionals and serious hobbyists, every chapter focuses on actionable procedure and diagnostic logic. With a full troubleshooting guide, a glossary of industry terms, and a forward look at where panel and driver technology is headed, this is the reference book that belongs on the bench next to your multimeter and oscilloscope.
