Nobody makes schematics available now, and a TV is full of exotic
custom chips.

 All which make repair extremely difficult! There are moves afoot in
Europe, I believe, to introduce some sort of 'compulsory
repairability' law, to enable freelance repairers to fix up stuff
that's gone kaput. That would be an excellent idea, given the massive
amount of electronics that goes into landfill. Our 'throw away
culture' is not doing the environment any favours at all. This is what
needs to be focused on, not some garbage about greenhouse gases.

The "garbage about greenhouse gases" that you want us to believe is spread by the fossil carbon extraction industry, who want to keep on digging up and selling huge amounts of fossil carbon to be burnt as fuel.
The mass of fossil carbon involved is orders of magnitude larger than the mass of material that being junked as consumer electronics, which is easy enough to recycle. Landfill is just land to be mined by the next generation.
Extra CO2 in the atmosphere is having nasty effects on the climate right now. Junked electronics in landfill doesn't do anything.
Do please grow up. Your petulant ignorance is irritating.
