Plasma TV/stupid question.

Somewhat depends on size and brand, but we have two ways, depending on what we need to do. First, we have a large-area roll-around we put a

4" thick foam pad & blanket on, then lay the set face down on it. This works very well for most. For testing and alignments after repair, we built another padded roll-around that we can put the set upright on. This also works well (except we made it a bit too close to the ground). Hope this helps. Steve Pearsons Electronics Spokane, WA.

So for testing and alignment I take it that there is also a padded surface on the bottom and then does the set just kind of lean back onto this padded 90 degree upright as well? Basically a table top with a full 90 degree back is what I'm picturing. Lenny

You got it. Steve

Friend of mine who does a lot of these built a simple bench top lay-back frame from 22mm copper plumbing pipe and fittings, picked up at his local hardware store. It has two bars which stick out towards him at the bottom. These are at 90 deg to the main frame, which lays back at probably 30 deg. When repairing the item, it lays forward on the frame, with the top tilting away from him at 30 deg. This is a perfectly good position to work on it, and has the advantage that it is still sufficiently 'upright' to allow the picture to be seen in the mirror at the back of the bench. When the set is repaired, he simply turns it around on the frame for soak testing, with the screen facing out into the workshop.

I like the ideas. This first repair I just laid on its face padded and supported on its frame but for future repairs I'll probably build a type of stand mentioned. Thanks to everyone. Lenny.
