2.1. Safety Guidelines for Installation Operations
- Operators must wear anti-static wristbands or anti-static gloves. Avoid direct contact with precision parts like solder joints and chip pins to prevent electrostatic discharge. If protective tools are unavailable, touch a grounded metal object first to discharge static electricity.
- The installation environment must meet the following requirements: temperature 10°C-30°C, relative humidity 40%-60%, free of dust, oil stains, water vapor, and corrosive gases. Keep away from heat sources (electric heaters, spotlights), water sources (faucets, humidifiers), and strong electromagnetic interference sources (routers, induction cookers).
- Prepare tools with good insulation performance, including appropriately sized cross/flat-head insulated screwdrivers, anti-static tweezers, wire strippers (if wiring is required), and a multimeter (recommended for testing circuit continuity). Do not use tools with exposed metal or damaged insulation.
- Before installation, completely unplug the TV power plug, disconnect all external devices (set-top boxes, U disks), and wait for the internal capacitors of the TV to fully discharge (at least 10 minutes). Confirm no residual power remains before disassembling and installing. Strictly prohibit live operation.
2.2. Safety Specifications for Use and Maintenance
- After installation, before powering on, repeatedly check that wiring is correct, interfaces are firmly plugged in, there are no short circuits, loose connections, or reverse connections. Ensure heat dissipation channels are unobstructed and no debris blocks the heat sink.
- If abnormalities occur during use (e.g., abnormal heating >60°C, smoke, burning smell, flickering/black screen, distorted sound), immediately cut off power, unplug the power plug, stop use, and contact professional after-sales service. Do not disassemble the machine yourself.
- It is forbidden to privately cut or weld circuit board lines, or replace components (capacitors, resistors, fuses) with parts not meeting original factory specifications, to avoid safety hazards and maintain warranty rights.
- Avoid liquid splashing onto the TV or circuit board. If this occurs, immediately cut off power and send for repair. Only power on again after professional testing confirms it is dry and fault-free.

3.1.3. Preliminary Inspection
- Inspect the appearance of the new circuit board: Confirm no deformation, damage, solder joint detachment, loose or missing components, bending or oxidation of interface pins, or scratches/ablation marks on the printed circuit.
- Record the installation position and wiring method of the old circuit board: Before disassembly, take photos to retain connection positions of each flat cable and interface (mark interface name and flat cable direction) to avoid confusion during installation.
3.2. Installation Process
3.2.1. Disassembling the Old Circuit Board
- Place the TV flat on a workbench covered with a soft cloth pad, screen facing down. Remove fixing screws of the TV back cover, gently pry open buckles, take off the back cover, and place it in a safe area.
- Locate the target old circuit board (e.g., power supply board near power interface, signal board near HDMI interface). Observe and record all connecting wires. Flat cable interfaces are usually marked ("VCC", "GND", "Signal +") or distinguished by color. Take photos before disassembly.
- Pinch the flat cable connector with tweezers or hands (do not pull the flat cable), gently pull out all connecting flat cables. If the interface has a buckle, press it first before plugging/unplugging to avoid damaging pins.
- Unscrew screws fixing the old circuit board, gently remove it, and place it into an anti-static bag for storage (if repair or return is needed). Avoid random placement that may cause component damage.
3.2.2. Installing the New Circuit Board
- Take the new circuit board out of the anti-static bag, re-check its appearance, then gently place it into the TV according to the original installation position. Align with screw fixing holes and stably fix with supporting screws. Tighten screws moderately to ensure the board is not loose, avoiding excessive tightness.
- Refer to preliminary photos or circuit board interface marks to connect flat cables one by one:
- Power flat cable: Align with "+/-" positive and negative pole marks. Ensure correct direction, insert to the bottom, and fasten the buckle to avoid short circuits.
- Signal flat cable: When connecting to the main board/screen, align with interface pins, gently push in, and confirm no looseness (e.g., HDMI signal flat cable fully inserted with no exposed pins).
- Backlight flat cable: If it's a backlight driver board, distinguish positive and negative poles, connect according to marks, and avoid backlight failure from reverse connection.
- Organize flat cables: Fix excess flat cables with cable ties to avoid winding, blocking heat sink, or contacting heating areas. Ensure cables are not bent or squeezed.
3.2.3. Back Cover Reset and Inspection
- Re-inspect circuit board installation: Confirm all interfaces are correctly connected, screws are firmly fixed, board is not tilted, components are not collided, and no residual tools or debris are inside the TV.
- Fasten the TV back cover: Align with body buckles, gently press to fit, then tighten fixing holes with original screws to ensure no looseness or gaps.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Initial Power-On Debugging
