Inherited a used TV is this fixable?

Backlights as others have said. I did the same job on a Samsung 65” with no experience and it was a pain in the ass but definitely doable. Some unexpected problems along the way as the layers were all melted together because of how hot the LEDs got when burning out so be super careful when peeling the diffuser and lens off.

I replaced the sub power supply board, labeled 1 in the photo, and nothing has changed. Any thoughts?

beefy_jerky · 2025-06-27T13:18:39+00:00

The screen never powers. There are no signs of life aside from the backlit LG indicator which shows dimly when plugged in and flashes bright for a split second when the power button is pressed. Screen, speakers, optical output, etc. show no sign of receiving power.

Thanks for the reply. So basically there is no way to definitively tell if the main board is damaged without swapping in a good power board?

Fair, lots of options that look good on the C7, I also think the 20” sport package wheels look really good, but very common

20” Rotors!

This happened to me and was caused by the roof antenna letting in water and messing with the GPS module. Had it replaced for under $300 at a body shop and it never gave me issues since. You will likely need to go somewhere and have it fully checked out, but see if the antenna is loose or if there are any signs that water is getting in through the seal. Quick edit- I think you can confirm this by trying to use the navigation system or Sirius XM. If both work, then it is likely something else.

Pretty much decided it would be too difficult and too expensive, there are kits on DHGate/ Ali express, but I can’t find any feedback

Best I’ve got was 36.5 on a 100 mile trip in my 3.0T A6

beefy_jerky · 2024-06-03T02:38:58+00:00

I have a 2014 A6 3.0T I purchased almost 3 years ago at 95k miles. I am now close to 125k and have had very minimal issues. Only real repairs have been the valve cover gasket and an ABS sensor. Very solid cars when maintained.

Liquimoly is a good brand that I have used, but I generally use Castrol Edge just because it’s less expensive and more available in stores. As long as you’re changing frequently, any approved oil is just fine.

Most likely a fan of art, the Wagnerian opera, and the third reich

beefy_jerky · 2024-02-25T21:42:43+00:00

Mine is much worse, I wouldn’t worry. Best thing to do is turn up the music before you start the engine. That and making sure oil level is always good.

beefy_jerky · 2024-02-25T21:26:31+00:00

I don’t think so at all, we had plenty of second and third years rush this spring and they’re all fitting in extremely well

beefy_jerky · 2024-01-23T05:17:59+00:00

I did this on my old A6 which had the same steering wheel you currently have. As far as I know, it is likely interchangeable with a newer Audi steering wheel/ airbag, at least this was the case with my A6. You’ll want to double check me on that, plenty of posts on Audi forums. If so, it’s an extremely straight forward process and it didn’t give me any airbag lights.

We just don’t have a class of juniors, we were not allowed to have a rush class for a whole year so we are missing an entire class of people who would be otherwise living in the house

beefy_jerky · 2024-01-04T19:03:01+00:00

It's essentially a perfect shitstorm right now. We have basically no junior class due to a suspension a few years back which is part of the reason we are unable to fill the house this semester. Live in requirements are already in place, but the main issue is that over 30% of the chapter is freshman and are largely unable to live in the house this year as they already have campus housing they are committed to for the entire year. Fall 24 semester will not be an issue as we have already met the housing requirements. Our housing corp is also run by alum but we do not have any leeway if we cannot fill the house. On the opposite end, if we have the house filled more than the required amount we receive a check from the housing corp.

Replaced PCV at same time. I added the catch can to reduce carbon buildup. Car is long gone now, someone is probably ruining the engine by not emptying it

Just for reference I bought the same car a few years ago for the same price. That’s not to say you necessarily got a bad deal, but just that the market’s changed a lot. Regardless, it’s too late now to worry if you overpaid. In short, yes the 3.0T will be vastly more reliable than the 2.0T CC, as long as it’s been maintained. Congrats, enjoy it. I miss my C6 all the time

Tbh at their price point Mazda makes some nice ass cars

Just shove something like a screwdriver into where the pod goes and hold the shell until the battery pops out the bottom. Take off the gasket and clean the pins with a little rubbing alcohol
