LCD Monitor Repair Trash to Cash

I’ve been repairing and troubleshooting LCD monitors for years now and the dead ones or the ones beyond hope of repair piled up in my garage and basement. When I finally got around to going through the piles, I found a ton of good stuff that I was completely missing out on.

I had many that I l knew had good power supply boards but something else on it was shot. I have many with good screens or good backlights. So what I did was I spent an entire weekend taking out the good parts and throwing away the rest.

I bought some of those 20 gallon plastic containers with lids at Walmart for about $5 a piece and I put screens in a few of them, I filled a couple more containers with power supplies and so on. I even rolled up and saved all of the power cords. I must have over 200 power cords :)

When I was done, I had eight neatly stacked plastic boxes in the garage with over $5000 worth of parts in them that I had collected for free. It is rare for me to find a broken LCD monitor or TV that I can not fix with parts in those baskets and then resell for 100% profit. Check out Jestine Young for more info…
