Ouch hey! Yesterday, I passed by the pedestrian street and saw that the LED screen of the milk tea shop was half black and still flashing snowflakes. The boss squatted at the door to grab his hair. Does this scene look familiar? Don’t panic! Today I will teach you how to find a reliable screen repair master in the vast crowd.

1. First find out what "illness" you have in your LED screen

​​Symptom 1: Black screen or half screen strike​
If the entire screen is black, it is probably because the power supply or control system is burping. For example, the case of a supermarket chain last month - 18 screens were collectively black-faced. In the end, it was found that the voltage was unstable and the driver card was burned, saving more than 30,000 yuan in the spare parts fee.

​​Symptom 2: Flower screen/mosaic​
This effect like the snowflakes of old TVs is mostly due to loose cables or chip desoldering. I will teach you a local method: use a hair dryer to blow the seams at the low temperature of the module. If the picture suddenly becomes normal, please find a master to re-made the waterproof seal.

​​Symptom 3: Incomplete words​
For example, it should have shown "50% off for the whole venue", but it becomes "5_5_". Don't rush to change the screen! It may be that the sending card is malfunctioning, or the network cable is gnawed by a mouse. There was a hot pot restaurant owner who changed three network cables himself but failed to solve the problem. As a result, the master used a multimeter to test it - good guy, the control card burned three capacitors!

2. Three golden channels for finding a master

​​1. Finding the original factory is the most worry-free​
Although it is a bit expensive (the labor fee is about 20% higher than the market price), they come with original accessories! Especially for old screens that have been used for more than three years, third-party masters may not even be able to find a matching driver board. Last year, the original factory master came with the design drawings of that year and it was done in two days.

​2. Professional maintenance platform​
Now there is a new thing called "smart device after-sales platform", just like calling online car-hailing. For example, after a certain platform receives an order, the system will automatically dispatch it to a certified engineer and can watch the live broadcast of the maintenance process in real time. The key point is to clearly mark the price - change the power module to 500 yuan, and you won’t charge any money if you can’t repair it.

​​3. Local master​
Don’t be too conspicuous about the repair shops in the alley. Some masters have been repairing LED screens for more than ten years, and their eyes are even more poisonous than detectors! But two things need to be noted:
① Require a paper contract (verbal promises are easy to lose money)
② Original accessories with anti-counterfeiting mark must be used (don't believe in the so-called "original flat replacement")

3. Guide to avoid pits: Beware of these routines

​Routine 1: Major repair of minor illnesses​
The most outrageous thing I have ever encountered: There is a shopping mall floor tiles that are just loosened, and the black-hearted master insists on changing the entire module, and the price is 28,000! Later I found the original manufacturer and just screwed a screw.

​​Routine 2: Accessories replace columns​
Teach you three tricks to inspect goods:
① Use a mobile phone to enlarge the chip to view the logo (for example, some chips with laser anti-counterfeiting)
② Weighing weight of power module (the original factory is basically 280g±5g)
③ Let the master scan the code in person to check the traceability information of accessories

​​Routine 3: Repair and change​
Some masters will fool you to "just upgrade to a smart screen", and as a result, they will dismantle the good screen. Remember: the truly necessary transformation will issue the "Energy Consumption Comparison Report" and the "Investment Income Calculation Table".

4. The secret of the cost path

​Basic repair price list​(2025 market):

• Power failure: Starting from 500 yuan
• Driver card repair: 800-1500 yuan
• Module replacement: 300 yuan/block (P10 specifications)
• System upgrade: 2,000 yuan per time

​​Save money tricks​：

1. Collective repairs are more cost-effective (20% off for more than 5 screens)
2. Low maintenance costs for off-season (March to April each year are off-season)
3. Participate in the old-for-new event (old screens are subject to 30% maintenance fee)

Personal opinion

After working in this industry for more than ten years, I discovered a strange phenomenon: the more anxious I need to repair it on the same day, the easier it is to get lost! Why? The schedule for good masters is scheduled to next week, and 80% of those who are on call are rookies. It is recommended that everyone make plans - it is best to sign an annual maintenance contract for LED screens in important places, which will save more than 30% compared to a single repair.

Recently, a new trend has emerged in the industry: remote diagnosis and repair. Last week, I helped an overseas customer and guided local workers to change the control card through AR glasses. It only took 6 hours from the time of repair to the solution! So, next time I contact the repairman, remember to ask if I can provide video guidance. It can really help me at critical moments!
