What to do with an old Roku TV’s boards?

[u/General_Dig_5729]

The TV of mine got the screen smashed and I took it apart was able to get out literally every bit intact except for the LEDs I know I could sell them on eBay, but I’m trying to figure out something that I could do with them. I know the jailbreaking community exists wondering if I could do something with that maybe use it as a crap board to test random stuff, but I don’t know how to go about doing that or any real fiddling I mean, worst case if there’s nothing I can just use it as Greebles for art projects or as previously stated, sell it

Check out the dumpster diving and DIY electronics subs, people there turn old TV boards into LED light panels or use the power supply for bench testing. The main board itself is pretty locked down unless you get lucky with a serial console. Honestly as Greebles sounds way more fun, slap some paint on them and make a cyberpunk wall piece.

Yeah, for a worst case, it’s a pretty fun one and thank you. I didn’t know those existed. Also, unfortunately, I was unable to salvage the LEDs the extreme toxicity of the glue I had to toss it out a minute after uncovering them because I was beginning to lose consciousness and didn’t want that in the apartment with my pets

Why not use it as a way to learn about hardware hacking
