|

About a year ago I [repaired a Philips 42" 3D LED TV](/projects/repair-philips-42pfl6057h-12/). I like
|
||||
this 1080p Ambilight TV quite a bit, so I installed it into the living room where it has been in
|
||||
service since February 2019.
|
||||
|
||||
Last week, during a period of self-isolation due to the Cornoavirus wreaking havoc around the world, the
|
||||
TV died again. It has the same symptoms as before:
|
||||
|
||||
* Would not turn on
|
||||
* No blinking red LED
|
||||
* Red LED would blink fast on remote control input
|
||||
|
||||
The TV is used intensively. Although it's placed in a well ventilated spot, it would not surprise me
|
||||
if the Fusion IC had suffered some thermal damage to it's BGA soldering again.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The back of the TV comes of easily enough and the heatsink, which as a bit loose, came of quickly as
|
||||
well.
|
||||
|
||||
![Heat it up](heat-it-up.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
Having learned from my previous repair I used a bit of heat resistant Kapton tape to hold the small
|
||||
passives around the IC in place.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that the top of the IC is _designed_ to get rid of heat and you want to heat up the solder
|
||||
balls underneath the IC. That means I've set the temperature of my hot air station quite high (400°C)
|
||||
whereas the melting temperature of lead free solder is 217°C.
|
||||
|
||||
After a few minutes of heating up the IC I decided to let it cool back down and tried turning on the
|
||||
TV. It worked like a charm again.
|
||||
|
||||
## Heatsink solution
|
||||
|
||||
The Fusion IC is decked out with a ceramic heatsink on top and a block of heat transferring foam on
|
||||
the bottom between the PCB and the metal chassis.
|
||||
|
||||
The ceramic heatsink is held in place by a small piece thermal adhesive tape. Well, it used to be. After
|
||||
my previous repair I placed it back. It didn't hold, so I used some cable ties to keep it in place. I
|
||||
should have know the effect of the thermal tape would be lost. This is like sticking a huge copper cooler
|
||||
on a CPU without thermal paste.
|
||||
|
||||
Well, I'm all for not making the same mistake twice.
|
||||
|
||||
I bought a piece of 25mm x 20m of thermal adhesive tape from Amazon.de. I removed all residue from the
|
||||
old tape and stuck it back on. This should improve thermal conductivity quite a bit.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
After that I put everything back together and we have a working TV again :-)

Next, reinstall the back panel and reconnect the Ambilight cable. And I've got a new TV :-)
|
||||
|

**Update 2019-03-29** about a year later the TV failed again. [Read all about it here](/projects/repair-philips-42pfl6057h-12-again/)
