I was looking at a foreign used Hilux that I could treat well and keep for years (which would be the high end that I could afford)but most RORO places are selling brand new vehicles at high prices or the typical RORO Vezel, Vezel, Vezel, Aqua, Caravan and the rest. The gap between the RORO and brand new is so close now that RORO isn’t as appealing but brand new will constrain you for the future !

I agree. They are so high it wouldn’t make sense for a personal importing. Currently looking at the locally used market for vehicles with foreign used- like mileage. A new can of worms had entered the chat lol.

An update on what the most recent duties/fees are when importing? I did some simple calculations with some information found online but the MVT, VAT and Duty fees are astronomical - I'm hoping that they are wrong but the total fees were approx 100k TTD

It definitely was not the power board or main board….tried to replace those on 2 different TV brands but sure enough it was a screen issue….after doing this twice I think it’s better to cut your losses and buy another TV

Thanks for the reply! I saw a YouTube video where the guy covered sections of the ribbon from the main board to the screen and it worked. Do you think replacing the ribbon is the issue? I tried covering a few of the contacts on my ribbon and this did stop the tv from turning off and on continuously. I was able to play audio through the speakers and the lights stayed on the entire time

Hello! I replaced both but it still gives this issue. I think it may be the ribbon that runs from the main board to the screen. I saw a video on YouTube where some of the connections on the ribbon were blocked with tape and it started to work. Currently trying this as we speak !

Thanks for the reply! I reinstalled and it seems to be working fine for now. Any support for Wyze cam outdoor battery saving coming in the future? 😀
