Know the safety facts first

I probably should have titled this article: "Why I have the coolest job in the world".

When it comes to TV sets, the first thing to always remember is that if you have no electronic experience or training, there really are no user serviceable parts inside of the TV, as they're all solid state. You're going to need to know how to use a simple digital or analog multimeter, and you should also know how to solder and unsolder, as almost all parts in most TV sets are soldered in place on the printed circuit board.
