A Technician with a passion in Electronics from Egypt.


I am Mohammed alaa el din from Cairo -Egypt ,
 I will be 22 years old in 12 February  and I love electronic work so much and I worked in repairing CRT monitors for 3 years approximately and in main board repairing too  but there is big problem in TVs here in Egypt as I think !!

when we know that fly back in the TV is bad and try to change it and because of this TVs is so old and users of it let it so dirty this makes our work specially in removing fly back so hard in some cases when we try to remove it we listen to sound of scratch and chassis may be damaged.

Mr. Humphrey when you come in Egypt you are welcomed in my new shop that I will open on 7th February.

World thinnest, largest and lightest OLED TV by LG Electronics

Samsung tv-21 inches - no audio and no video... background blue-email support


Good day Humphrey!
Is it okay if I will ask some help from you? As this point in time, I am repairing a Samsung tv-21 inches. The trouble is when you switch the power to ON position, there is a raster, and then after about 2 seconds, it changes to blue color- a video signal
Display I think and vice versa.  I re-soldered the video amplifier at CRT, and the jungle ic, no changes happened.
