You can remove the top cover (with the label) it should just pop off, then you can see inside the tuner and also straighten the other tin.
That might also give you access to solder the center pin back to the board, then solder the connector to the tin.Last edited by R_J; 07-26-2018, 10:40 AM.

Originally posted by notch8 View Posti figured as much, about the top popping off however, as andrew ali stated, i paid for a good board, i should have received one. Someone yanked that tv from the wall and cable ripping the rf connector out. And from what i've heard lately, it's a common event. Probably a tv repossession or possible theft. Another member has the same board that had the same issue.

I agree about not repairing it if you are returning it.
the connectors can also get broken when people move the tv for cleaning behind it and the cable is too short or they had a device connected and forgot to unscrew the cable when they removed it.
As you can see its not attached very well, only a crimp to that thin piece of tin.

Hey Moreno83 or tvtimmy or anyone else for that matter, got a spare Hakko 808 desoldering gun lying around that I could use for free? No...I didn't think so.
But you are right , you payed for a good working board and you shouldnt fix your "new" board.
Hope you get a replacement and atleast you now know what the main problem was.I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

You dont need a expensive soldering iron. I got a $35 solder station from China that works absolutely great! Before i used this station i used a normal 85w solder iron.
What you can do with a simple iron is to heat up the solder pad and use air to blow away the solder. ( can of compressed air ).I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

Well, after about 4 hours of hard work, the tuner is finally off. 2 different soldering irons, a cheap solder sucker, some resoldering with flux on the main legs then quick air blast from shop air compressor....whew.
I got it pretty hot a couple of times, I hope I didn't damage it! Anyway curious minds gotta know so I popped the top off. There's a lot going on in there! Here's some pics, sorry about the quality but I'm tired.
I sure hope I didn't hurt it.Last edited by notch8; 07-27-2018, 11:50 AM.

I forgot to say, the next board I'm considering already has the tuner removed. I was told that it had the f connector ripped off it also. That's why I removed the tuner from my board, practice, practice, practice!

Looks fine by me. Needs a bit of cleaning up. Just add a little flux and just "swipe" over the tin and it will look just fine. Flux will do all the work.
After that just clean it with alcohol and your fine. Traces look ok.I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

If you guys can't see the difference in these pics, I give up!
IMHO, you had too much tequila before you removed your tuner, lol.
