HOW TO FIX SAMSUNG TV WITH BLACK SCREEN (TV Disassembly & Fix)

[@Randomishh]

Ive fixed about 15 tvs in the last 2 years. Since my son's birth I have needed to find a way to be home so I took this little hobby and I have to admit your video was very soothing, relaxing, informative straight to the point and I felt like I was really there with you. My favorite TV fix video ever man! Thank you.

Samsung contractor wanted $900 to fix my 65” LED UHD TV (less than two years old). I ordered some $30 eBay LEDs off eBay for my tv model and followed this guide (slightly different but I found my way) and now my TV is back alive!! Thanks

[@ky7037]

Follow up, it’s been 4 months and my LEDs are dead again. I’m only getting sound out of the tv and no picture. Looks like I’m ditching Samsung and going TV shopping

[@hammadbensardar]

​@@ky7037 Maybe faulty lights. Its quite a hassel to open up all of this just to hange a small led strip

[@duncanmartin8965]

Having a bit of a problem trying to disconnect the small plug from the led strip. Tried pushing in the 2 small tabs on side but it won’t budge. Tv repairers said this tv needed a totally new led screen £800. I insisted it was the backlight but they wouldn’t have it. What a rip off they are. Great video. Thank tou

This is truly first tier self-reliance that many of us in the western world should take a note on. Ain't nobody gonna fix your screen in the province unless you know how to do it your self. Less e-waste, welldone!

[@chuckeverhardt1258]

My nephew had the same thing happen to his 55" Samsung T.V. two weeks ago. I told him it could be fixed and he said he wasn't even going to attempt it. So I went home, ran across your video, and long story short I have a 55" Samsung T.V. hanging on my dining room wall. It cost me a whopping $18.78 with tax and free shipping. Thank you good sir for teaching me something new and thank you for making a video that was so easy to follow.

Tv repair cost estimate from local repair shop = 2600$. Off to the hardware store I go! Otherwise I'm dropping 1400$ on a new TV so hoping I can fix my old one that's been sitting in my spare. Best DIY video I've seen on TV'S

[@vne5195]

Thanks for the valuable description of your repair process! I used this process to re-seat the connector for the "bad" LED on my 65" Samsung. Re-seating the LED corrected the problem with my TV. In the process of repairing the LED, I cracked the top corner of the LCD and scrapped the TV. As already mentioned in the video, take care with that LCD and get help when putting the TV back together. The 65 and 70 inch models may be more awkward to handle.

Sometimes I watch these videos to learn if the repair is something I can do or not. So many fragile clips and components...I'm thinking I'm not up for this kind of LCD brain surgery. You should go into the repair business. Few want to do repairs anymore. Given the time-consuming nature and chance for further damage, I can see why. Thanks anyway. I bow to your skills.

I bought a Samsung 55" QLED tv that started doing this one month after warranty expired. New screen is $450 + labor.

This was a very good video. I am gonna repair my 65” Samsung using this guide. The other value I took from this video, is stay away from Samsung. The fact that both your TVs need repair and mine yet my grandfathers Sony lasted over 10 years is evident to me that I chose the wrong brand. Thanks for your help.

[@birddogz545]

I have a Samsung that is only 2.5 years old and already needs the led's replaced. Their quality has really gone down. I owned an old plasma Samsung that lasted 12 years. i will be looking to other brands in the future.

[@adamchapin5188]

Very good editing. Very educational. Thank you so much for showing the world how easy this is. My father taught me that everything can be fixed, and so i got a free tv from a thrift store because it wasnt turning on and I diagnosed that it was the back light and I figured id try and see how to fix it my self. Because of you, now i can. Thank you so much i will subscribe to you and your friends after the video!!

[@MagnoBernal]

Yesterday, I used your video to guide me in repairing my TV, and it was very helpful. In the end, I replaced the LEDs, but the top part of the screen looks a bit darker-maybe I misplaced some part of the layers, or it's simply wear and tear from use. However, it will work as a secondary monitor for some emergencies, and the results are: professionally: a good attempt; personally: very satisfying. Thank you for your video.

[@hammadbensardar]

So i just finished up fixing my samsung 65inch led tv by looking at your video. End result: the tv is back to its life, but again, there's a slight shade on the right side. Also i dont know how, but now i have 2 thin black lines in my screen. I did not touch the screen panel in any way. Just did it as you did it. But, im glad its alive again atleast. 1 thing i noticed, the inner(last) hard plastic you remove before changing the backlight, that plastic was melt from below. Also the previous backlight was burnt abit aswell. I put it back as it was after replacing the backlights. I did test the backlights before putting everythin back in order.

[@MyPIDream]

Great job! 65 inch and above are the hardest to do because of size. I now recommend you lower your brightness control to around 50% to prevent another failure of the backlight strips. I believe this is the cause of most of these type failures.

[@hammadbensardar]

@@MyPIDream thankyou for this video. It was a great help. One of my friend suggested to remove and reinsert the display cables again as that might not be properly inserted which caused the line to appear. Ill try that tonight and also update on it if it worked.

[@JohnClark-hl7di]

Great video. Just fixed a rather new QLED Samsung with half the screen dark and the repair was exactly the same. Amazon didn't have the correct LEDs for this model but found them on Ebay out of China. Parts took about 2 weeks to arrive but the fix was done in no time. Thank You

Success! Bought LEDs and power and control boards fm Jimmy... hardest part is opening the case then removing the white bezel as noted. Swapped boards to NO EFFECT (returned) ; only 1 LED was bad. WORKS like NEW... So because I bought a new 43 TV (not trusting my ability... compounded by the 'try to fix since it's already broken mentality) I now have an extra 43... so I bought an xBox for it! NO MONEY SAVED! :). Gotta love America! I do!

[@MyPIDream]

Thanks for the tip from a pro!

[@jb4688]

Did some research on the Samsung tv ...ordered LED strips from aliexpress for a little over 8 dollars US which included shipping...also of note is to not keep the backlit settings on max...supposedly the LED's will last longer. I like the fact that you kept to bezel on the surface and lifted off the backing which had the circuit boards...made much more sense than flipping it over and lifting the glass off from the top.

[@MyPIDream]

The tip for not pushing the brightness to max is one of the best ways to avoid this LED burnout. I keep mine now on about 50%.

[@claudiovargas9571]

You are amazing I'm an electronic technician well little rust because I don't do the job many years! But your video is amazing the way you explained you should be a teacher! My recommendation for all this sensitive electronics is to put an surge protector due to voltage variations on the line the element suffer also most all the electronics power source works from 110 to 220 volts so in countries have 220 they are working on maximum and it make their life shorter originally I'm from Chile and back in there when I use to service electronics they get toasted because sometimes you have 210 and than goes all the way to 240 in my house we use to do when not using it unplug it and they will last longer or put a switch on the line ! Now here in USA we have 110 so if we have any variations it won't hurt that much but still always I do have surge protectors is a little extra money but it keep you for do an expensive repair I do still have big box old 📺 plasma and also the new led TV and no issues because of my protection ideas hopefully this information help to all of your followers!

Rather long and not straight to the point as was said however, the consequence was that it was informative and was not unpleasant at all. Thank you for making this video. 👍

[@vincemajestyk9497]

There is one other tip I'll share that you may or may not know. On the 2 Samsung sets that I have they default the backlight brightness to 100% in the picture settings. You can extend the diodes lifespan by driving them at less than full voltage. On mine the scale goes from 0-20. I set one of mine to '10' and it looked almost the same. I would shoot for 50-80%. Those diode clusters (modules) have 3 LED chips per cluster so if 1 or 2 fail it should still prevent the whole strip or backlight from going dark for a while. Current draw will increase across the remaining ones. The one I trash picked was run at 100% brightness for 4 years and only about 20% of the 40 (3) LED modules had 'unburned' diodes. All the rest had at least one and in some cases 2-3 burned LED chips within each module on the COB strips. BTW, the reason for connecting the diodes in series is for efficiency of manufacturing and design. It's easier and cheaper to design a power supply for increased voltage, say over 330V (2.8v drop per chip x3) x 40 modules) than it is to wire and supply current for small voltage parallel diodes. More voltage drop across the LED chips = HEAT which = failure. "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long".

[@MyPIDream]

Good tips. I always recommend setting the brightness control around 50%. Many people set the brightness control to 100% and this is the prime reason the light strips burn out.

I disassembled all, and I realized the both Led strips were ok but the guy installed the transparent projector screen upside down :). So I change that and everything was perfect.

[@derealized797]

This is what i need to be seeing. I bought a Samsung 4k TV, and it looked great, for 2 years. And for a $600 TV. That is unacceptable. The problem was with half the screen going dark. It happened quickly but gradually, and calling customer service about it. Of course i was expected to pay out of pocket for the repair. At least $300. And that's just not happening. So i bought a new one. And I still have the old one set aside because i don't feel like it's actually "broken" yet, it can still be fixed. I just don't know how. I can understand the obvious, i just don't have the tools or the space, or the experience. But i feel like i am going to figure this out eventually and I'll have 2 TVs then.

[@thebomb5629]

Could this be scam by Samsung? Mine developed shadows a month ago after 2.5 years then one side black out and now it’s total blackout. I only get sound. After observing numerous complains online I think Samsung are aware these strips last around 2 years and likely to fail after expiry of warranty.

[@derealized797]

@@thebomb5629 I'm wondering this myself, this seems to be a fairly common issue. It is NOT something to remain quiet about either, and there are lot of things about samsung as a company, which i disagree with. But, this ... no one should get away with such BS quality, I'm sick of how poorly everything is made now, this is unacceptable. Yeah the technology these days, so great, while it lasts. Seriously though an old crt tv from the 70s you could kick down the FK'N stairs leave out in the rain and snow and beat the snot out of it. It would still work today so many decades later. These things now, sure the image looks good. But just sitting there, couple years later, after your goddamn warranty expires, you can't see a damn thing. They seem to do this because they get away with it and this is why we all need to be very vocal about this issue. If they do not deserve that top shelf reputation, then they should be known for their poor quality and it should effect sales. It's mixed though. So you get people who say well i never had a problem. OK, but so many people have with particular other products. It ain't cheap stuff either. I swear this is no accident.

I'm now brave enough to repair my 15 year old HD Samsung TV now that I know what's inside. It has a wobbly aerial socket (who uses those eh?)

Thank you for the video, this is very helpful. We have this 65inch samsung tv and the issue is pretty similar to what you have in this video. Will try to order the LED strips and maybe fix our tv with myself. Great vid!

Thank you so much! Now I have to try to fix my 43" TCL TV that has the same issue... no image!

Absolutely great demonstration video. Thanks for the education. BTW the reason I started watching you was your servicing of your Mitsubishi wall unit. From that point on I was hooked. Thanks, enjoy all the PI videos. Dennis from Texas
