HiSense TV warning, junk made for landfill

[Adrian Caspersz]

Public service announcement....

A TV repairer has shown a stripdown of one of the large screen HiSense
sets (65" - 65A7100F, 65A7100FTUK), glued together and very tricky to
change the LED back light without tearing the reflector sheet. There is
apparently a knack to it - see the comments in

Searching "hisense junk" on google gives similar tales which is sad as
one of the first makes advertised to support the UK Freely service.

Expected lifetime before landfill, about 3 years, or less...
