Samsung Led TV UN55NU7100FXZA half dark screen repair

[@jradd67]

Dude thank you. Fixed my TV today with my wife. Not only did it save us hundreds/thousands of dollars but it was a fun project with my bride. Great channel keep it coming!

[@jimargeny86]

I replaced my LED strips with a set I bought off of Amazon for $22. I want to give a shoutout to BigDog, I couldn’t have done it without your video! nothin but praise for your help, let the haters hate!!

[@ebony1473]

I just purchased from Amazon today so I can replace mine. My tv looks just like his 1/2 screen black I hope I can do this

[@bassclef4454]

You have to commend technicians who offer thier skills openly.l to the public. Shame on the those who detract from this man's effort by throwing pot shots in the form of ridicule - which begs the question.. Why would those people who claim to be technicians need to watch if they know it all??

[@RonHelton]

You are a great teacher. I wish there were more like you when I was in electronics school. You are very thorough in explaining the processes and how to prevent damage to the equipment that you are working on. Thank you!

Thanks so much for your content. Someone just gave me a 55 inch Samsung , the same TV with the same problem. I'm so glad that I found you.

Brother Man it is no joke to not only do this kind of work well, but film it and be instructive too is a mighty blessing. Thank you for sharing with folks. Your work is appreciated.

[@rogercharles2470]

Excellent work. I have over 20 years in TV repairs and still repairing TVs to date. I enjoy your videos while still learning new things. Thanks again brother.

[@bigdog8882]

Thanks Roger, make sure you check out the course, its excellent for experienced TV techs like yourself who still want to learn.

[@andrewkerrison8363]

Thanks a lot. I am a photocopier tech so I am used to pulling apart all sorts of machines. But when I got the back cover off my TV I will admit I was stumped. Your instructions are very clear and well paced. I had your video going on my phone while I worked on my tv and I felt that I had someone in the room with me helping me out. I almost wish I had another tv break so I can do it again.

[@bigdog8882]

Don't worry you will soon. lol

[@matthewsinclair7820]

Watched your video today and it enabled me to fix my own TV. I'm pretty good with my hands but I'm a mechanic by trade and without your tips and step by step process of taking apart the TV I would of been fishing in the dark. Ignore the haters and keep doing you man. Good job.

[@RustyActual]

You're the man, used this as a step by step to fix the same exact model TV that my in laws were going to take to the dump. Great instructional video

[@Dyaxxis]

41:14 I agree. I'm a factory trained technician turned degreed engineer (almost complete with my PhD) yet I work with and continually learn from as well as help ALL types of technicians and engineers, regardless of experience and/or education.

[@MohammedAneek]

Thanks a lot for you and all the other youtubers. I managed to watch these videos and fix my TV for just 1/10th of the repair cost.

[@K405V1LL3z]

There will always be haters. I have watched this vid twice. Once tearing my TV apart, and once putting it back together with new LEDs. My TV is full backlit and working like new because of your vid. Keep it up man, Cheers!

[@K405V1LL3z]

I have no experience with this type of repair, but for kicks I flipped my defuser screen 180 during the reassembly hoping the shading would be gone and it worked. This may not be the case with all defuser screens but it certainly worked for mine. Anyway...thanks again for your vid!

[@bigdog8882]

Glad it helped Stef.

[@randymalak1730]

Thank you for the very informative video. Just finished my TV today.. The only think I think you and all the other electronics repair guys should mention is a warning about the capacitors.

[@bigdog8882]

Great to hear!

[@gearhead366]

Thanks for the power supply checkout portion of this video. I don't have an LED tester, but I DO have a DMM, so this is perfect. I've found many videos for LED strip replacements, but none show how to check out the pwr supply. I have the 50" version of this tv, with one segment not illuminating. The power supply checks out fine, so I now know that I need to replace the LED strips. Haters... ignore them. I'm an EE, with lots of bench experience. I didn't see anything wrong with your troubleshooting & repair process. Keep up the good work.

[@iancollins8084]

I'm from England and I've watched your videos time and time again bro, I'm gunna fix my Samsung 55" led screen this week from watching your videos. Ain't nobody explains it like you do 💯👊 Mass respect bro 💯👊.

[@iancollins8084]

Fixed my telly with all the gratitude in this world for this man BigDog, without your expertise, intelligence and knowledge this WOULD have been a costly repair. I got the TV for free from a relative because the picture was showing dark line then within a week half the screen black and then gone Zero picture. The diffuser board also got a few scorch marks on it as well!!! But never mind that, at the end of the day it's SORTED 👌 !!!!**FIXED**!!!! Thanks again man.👊💯🇬🇧

[@Goda00100]

Keep up the good work. A lot of unexperienced engineers and technicians will hate you. You make things look simple. This is advice from an Old-Dog.

[@mikes.8301]

I absolutely enjoy your content, you've helped me fix many tv's for my friends and family...myself included.

You've helped progress Into learning how to repair and I appreciate what you do, thank you!! Keep doin you BigDog!!

Great video!Not many people are as thorough and informative walking viewers through each step ....I actually enjoyed the education and knowledge shared is priceless....Thank you very much! You helped me repair a tv that my family will now enjoy but better yet I can now understand and possibly repair other TV in future instead of throwing the TV away. Thank you for your time and for helping us.

[@neonsynth]

Bruh, you are a straight OG at this. I've looked far and wide for anything similar before I found your channel, and hey, don't let any of those haters get you wound bro. You're awesome at what you do, I learned a ton by watching you work and loved the commentary. I repair and upcycle electronics just to save them from the landfill and to help people, and you wouldn't believe how many TVs I've had donated to me since the local news in SLC ran a story on me. I'll give you 3 guesses on what the most common brand donated is. 😂 Now that I've found your channel and I'm stoked to be able to repair a lot of them quickly and efficiently, sell or give them away, and save people a lot of headaches and money. Thanks a ton for your work, you're a humble man but you have bragging rights for days. I've been an electrical engineer for 2 decades, and you know there's an enormous gap between the guys at NASA and the like, and those who actually take the time to reverse engineer, dissect, repair, and service electronics. In my experience, they're lost as hell at this kinda thing, and pretty terrible at it. Quick question for you my dude, do you have a good resource for finding replacement parts and/or service manuals? If you don't mind sharing, I'd appreciate it greatly. I have a UN75JU6500 v.TD01 that was donated. I have the same problem with it as this one, and am having a hard time finding the LED strips. I'm giving it away to a family next door that's living on a disability income, as a surprise. Again, phenomenal video, great pointers, solid work and a big help to many of us. Thank you 👊

[@toosal]

Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together for all of us to learn from! I appreciate how comprehensive it is so I can actually learn about how this tv works while I’m fixing it (I found one on the side of the road today that is perfect except for the one black side, what a come up 🙏)

Hey man i appreciate you for the help that you provide and time that you give to help others. If the internet didn't exist it wouldn't be possible for people to learn as easily without it.

[@Sonkalino]

I have a similar EU version of this TV, an UE55NU7102. It has smaller differences, but the disassembly and edgelight change is the same. Mine was in worse shape, it had like a dozen cracks on the diffusor, and bigger burn-ins. I screwed up and ruined the panel sadly. But I would not have even tried if it wasn't for your great tutorial. It went decently, despite i've never done it before. Thank you for your in-depth video, greetings from Hungary!

[@franciscosandoval9766]

Thank you so much for this video. I was able to change the led light on my tv. Spend $30 plus 18 for the suction cups at Lowe"s. Never open a tv in my life. You would be a great teacher. Hello my friend from Palmdale California

[@bigdog8882]

Glad it helped

[@prof.grimes8937]

This video is outstanding! Thank you so much for creating such a thorough walk though of the LED replacement. The close ups provide exception detail. Unfortunately for me, I cracked the screen when installing the outer bezel. It was totally my fault. The screen was overlapping one of the edge guides just enough that it cracked when I applied pressure to snap the bezel in place. I can't stress this enough- double check to make sure the main screen is centered and within the bounds of the edge guides! Do not force it if the outer bezel is not going back on easily.

And as you said there will always be haters just don't let them discouraged you, we have right to do whatever we want and however we want. If someone don't agrees or likes your content they should have keep it to themselves or go watch something else! Anyway seeing you teaching us how to fix our TV's gave me strength to try and fix some of my own broken TV's. Thank you so much, I am new to your channel and I am definitely subscribing.

Bigdog, I love your commentary about interacting with customers. You are what I need and I thank you very much for the time you spend helping me. I used to do computer warranty repairs for Dell so I know exactly what you are saying about customers. Thanks, Bro, keep on keepin on.

[@TS-qd2uj]

New to your channel. Thank you for your time explaining things, right down to what to expect from different pins as well as understanding the boards. I look forward to watching more of your existing and future videos. I don't think you'll be running out of work anytime soon, given the poor quality of these TV's. Mine just went after two years. Used the tape method to get it back running but seeing too much green, purple and pink on the left side of my UN58TU7000FXZC, so I'll be going at it again soon and experimenting some more. There is no way I'm buying another TV anytime soon after just two years with this junk. Come to think of it, their fridges are garbage too and their new phones not far from it. But the other choices are no better. Thank you very much for taking the time, this is much appreciated.

[@saarike]

Simply great! Electronics, chess and other difficult things teaches us humbleness. I fixed 39 inch Samsung backlight by changing individual backlight. I learned from youtube, that by warming the strip under with hot air gun you can remove led quite easy. In my experiments 400 degree was quite good temperature. I have to say, that these repairs are more difficult in practice that you could imagine when you watch someone else doing these in youtube. So you have to be very humble, there is so many ways you can burn your pants. 😀😀😀

[@4kozenrufu]

I am just toying around with the idea of fixing the tv ourselves. Thanks for making us more familiar with the process. I think we can do it now.

I worked for Time Warner for over 22yrs. before my first lumbar fusion back on 2005, had my last one in 2020. You give me a voltage meter and a decent set of tools and I can fix it. If not, then the damn thing is BROKE. You keep up the excellent work and us old timers will show these youngsters how it gets done!!!!!

[@gobshite5150]

Dude you are my hero for this week, this is *exactly* what I needed. What is up with all these Samsung Smart TVs with the faulty LED strips!? My TV wasn't even 3 years old when half my screen suddenly got these 2 vertical shadows from bottom to top one day... but for 25.99 for the replacement LEDs I'm not even worried about it anymore. Thank you for posting sir!

Great instructions, man. I actually felt confident I could try this after watching this video. I had the same exact problem as this TV and fixed it. Unfortunately I crunched some of the the COF films while moving the screen around on the table, so now I have a few vertical lines on my screen. Meh. One thing for viewers to note: when he plugs the tv in to test the lights at 57:12 it might not turn on if the TV was off when unplugged. That's how mine went.

[@Pepe-ry8pm]

Hello. You have forgotten the most important thing. Lower the current that powers the LED strips and thus achieve a longer life. For example: 350 mA to 320 mA: Remove both SMD resistors in the current sensor of the LED driver on the BN44-00932B board. Located on the back of the board under resistors R9101, R9201.

[@brentmaach3468]

Good job brother.l want to ask you a ? Where can I buy the layer close to LED (reflector) bcs the strip burn it.thank you and keep doing what you are doing well done

Thanks BigDog, your video was of great help led strips were $34 at Amazon, TV works great.

[@angiesanders440]

Hello. I am very thankful for your video. I was able to replace the LED strips. I fixed one thing but I think I messed something up. I will try to keep this short. I actually had to take it apart twice. The first time I turned it on and the remote worked but I didn’t have any sound so I took it apart and unhooked and hooked stuff back up. This time the remote doesn’t work and still no sound. I thought I would see if you could maybe tell me what you think happened. I have tested the remote by shining it at my phone camera. I don’t think it is the remote. Could I have messed up sensor thing? I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

[@johnnyhernandez8899]

Thank You so much Big Dogg ur the best and god bless u and fam and a big thanks brother for taking time on doing this type of video cause I been learning a lot from u this is like my 7th Tv I have fix and is so easy just follow ur steps. TV I just did right now is a Samsung UN55NU6900BXZA that I found a week ago and only cost me $20 for the LED strips and 2hrs of labor. Thanks again big Dogg

[@thedarkweeally]

Samsung learned their lesson with that flawed design in later models as they put a plastic bracket (with holes for the leds) between the chassis bottom and the perspex defuser sheet to introduce an air gap to aid cooling in the hopes to avoid the burn out you see here. I've attempted to repair over 100 of these "edge lit" led tvs and only successfully managed less that ten due to this issue and the lack of spare perspex sheets. You'll always get the unit up and running but the burn marks will streak across the screen from bottom to top and will be very noticeable on every picture unless it's a night scene. My advice to anyone looking in - if you find these burns - save your coin and invest in a new TV - unless you can get that perspex sheet of course, otherwise bin that suckka!

[@MrFatboy192]

Awesome video I've just repaired my exact same TV only difference I did was not lift the very back sheet out, I just slid it up and changed the LEDs, the white paper was stuck in the middle a little did get a belt off the LEDs tho, one connecter was stuck, next time I discharge the caps! Top tip put it on a blanket on the table and slide it around,

[@shanebuckham7029]

Excellent video, Thank You! Great level of detail. My backlight now works. Unfortunately the screen doesn't :(. I used a double unit suction cup and I think they were too close together. Would recommend two separate section cups (or even 4 with two people). I suspect the small bend on the screen when I pulled it out broke it. C'est la vie.

[@joshuafoster8657]

Is there some where you can purchase a new diffuser screen/plate? I haven’t opened my tv up yet but I suspect that may be the problem.

[@mudassirbukhari3360]

it was a great and very informative video. I would like to know that how many led strips go on 82 inches Samsung TV ?

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful I'm going to do my son's TV as soon as the suction cups come in.i am also from chi town ;)

[@skippyvb]

Hi BigDog, awesome job and video! love the rant in the middle 😂, totally agree with you. My wife took this TV home from work after it developed a darker section on the screen. I took it apart with your help and found several LED's out. Now waiting for replacement strips. We'll see if I can put it back together without breaking anything (already cracket the bezel taking that off... oh well). BTW I'm a big Bears fan and am looking forward to this upcoming season, let's hope the O-line will be and stay healthy and ball out! I hope you are doing well and take care. Thanks Again!

Hey dude thanks for making this. I was able to take my tv apart, slightly different model but same set up. And even with this model same thing with the cracked screen. I believe that customer had power surge bc similar to mine i have all but like 9 of the bulbs out i got to replace the 2 strips. But i was able to find that out thanks to u. Much appreciated and keep doing what you do.

[@ismoligy]

I have a AU8000 model but you video was helpful and my TV is working fine now. Thanks.

[@eemn825]

I’ve watched and I believe I’m now ready to give this a try before going and spending hundreds on a new TV. BigDog…I have this same model, seems a lot of these videos I’m finding on KZbin are for this model? Are you seeing the same? Seems if I do need a new model I should stay away from this one. Anyway, I had the right side of the set out for a while, but I know it was the backlight due to reading online about the problem. I was dealing with it for a few weeks, and then a couple nights ago the left side started going, there was still a bit of the picture on the left side in the middle you could see. I do believe that there will be a crack based on what I was seeing when it first started, but I can deal. Do you think it is just that one LED went out, and the the other started to? Or could it be something else? And do you recommend that we have one of those meters for this repair?

[@bigdog8882]

If your screen is already cracked then dont waste your time. Otherwise you need to replace both/all the strips.

I just replaced the backlights on my TV using this video and I have a suggestion. That glass panel thats behind the screen, the on thats cracked, if you flip it around the led lights refract the light though it better. The burn marks on the bottom and the crack causes the screen to be dark in spots. I'm going to take the TV back apart again tomorrow and see if flipping that cracked screen around will make any difference. I think it will help alot because the burn marks from the backlights going out before and the cracks are causing the screen to not light up all the way in some spots.
