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.

[@gradysanner1713]

I totally agree. Great presentation and "soothing".

[@brummiesteve590]

James, no Christmas card from Samsung this year lol Thks great vid. Repair not replace. Save the planet.

[@ky7037]

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

[@davenawilliamson502]

We used this video as a guide to repair our TV. We were quoted between $175 and $300 for this repair which was honestly out of our budget. Thanks to Amazon and you we are back to our regularly scheduled viewing!

[@brandonfelts6371]

Finally a video that actually shows how to fix it thank you, you just saved me six hundred dollars cause ive got two with the same problem

[@lydia8907]

This is how all diy videos should be done. You are showing every step, and explaining in detail. =)

[@hanvroman]

So satisfying to see nice ppl like you can solve big problems with TVs, and show it on youtube... Thanks from the Netherlands 👍

[@maximusthecannabist5170]

I miss the days when you could just slap the TV up a bit and it would work

[@annabodroghkozy1498]

[@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.

[@MyPIDream]

You're so welcome! Great to hear your success and addition to your entertainment inventory!

[@diamondloa674]

Can I ask where you order your strip from?

[@FullFinnoy]

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!

[@valshaev1145]

WOW! You've got so positive and warm attitude! I'm an Engineer, Electronics and Computers, and little younger then you... Even knowing what should be done with LCD screen, I was kinda hypnotized with your warm smile... Thank you for such positiveness!

[@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.

[@mckaydrumsofficial]

I tried slapping but the led strip didn't work! So, I watched your video and I made the repair by myself!!! Wonderful!! Thanks man!!!

[@feboogi]

You sir saved my wife and I a fortune. Our television , samsung 65 inch , only 3 years old has expired warranty. Parts on order for 50 $ Canadian. Tv is dis assembled ready for new light strips . Cheers from Vancouver Island .

[@bitstop2003]

I have the exact same model and exact same issue. Appreciate your sharing how to repair this. I was hesitant to throw this away.

[@jamesajduffy]

Thanks man, tv is now fixed because of this video.. simple.

[@robertk5479]

I bought a Samsung 55" QLED tv that started doing this one month after warranty expired. New screen is $450 + labor. So i just put the tv in the closet until i get the idea to replace the screen myself and save on labor. Now i come across your video in my research and you about to save me big money, my friend. I'm going to try and fix my tv

[@iceblue6971]

You confirmed if that ever happens I'll be at abenson getting a new TV. No chance I could have done that repair..nice job though

[@josephaviles2673]

Lmao 😂

[@debrawatts4151]

Spot on Attempted this today and I fixed it Only problem is I have one tiny line running from the top of tv to bottom Only noticeable on a light back ground Awesome instructions and direction Thank you

[@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.

[@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.

[@onlyinalaskastreettv]

Do think fix my 85 inches

[@josiahwadley6462]

Did your tv randomly go dark all the time?

[@anthonymiller6206]

​@@josiahwadley6462 l9

[@juantuthree357]

Any info on how to “re-seat” LED?

[@DoppelKomma]

Same happened with our 75". It's really hard to handle and my dad forgot how fragile the panel was and lifted up one corner, otherwise it would have been a perfect repair

[@h.l.1636]

Even if u upload This 2 years ago This is the Best video so far i have to thank u buddy Best wishes from germany ❤

[@marmarco2858]

Thanks my brother for knowledgeable samsung smart tv repair, I had enjoy watching you,because I am a technicoan too,but also an evangelical Pastor too, I will pray for your health and success in life.

[@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

[@glenm786]

Can you send a link for where you got the replacements. I’m looking to do the same with my QLED. Thanks

[@RickOhnsman]

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.

[@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!!

[@jesseemerson9615]

I recently acquired 7 55in Samsung led tvs they are all less than a couple years old . I plan on repairing them. Thank you for this video .

[@cyndoza5454]

Jes its a year later have you repaired it?

[@james_gemma]

Good job James 👍 I personally would have replaced both of them. I've done this before before a few times and don't like doing it. It's still easier than taking most laptop's apart though 😉

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

Mine comes on for a while then goes totally dark. The sound still works. I'm not sure this is a project for me but thanks for the instructions. Best wishes Bob.

[@chrisscott5339]

Soon I’m gonna be attempting this on a Vizio. Your video is the best one so far. No music playing through the whole thing and not actually showing you how to do it. Thank you. 🙂

[@andreashedlund2757]

Interesting to see the inside of a TV. Surprising how easy it looked to repair it! Good for the environment!!

[@asgharmirza177]

Wonderful repair skills. After watching this beautifully crafted video, I decided to repair my led tv which has similar dark issue

[@BlackWestCoast]

Did u fix it

[@ITSNICKMELLO]

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.

[@mariatamburro]

You are SO GOOD at explaining step by step what to do. This is hands down one of the best DIY videos I've ever seen.

[@MyPIDream]

Wow, thank you!

[@daphnedemello1994]

This was a very helpful video and I appreciate the education even though I am not up to doing the repair myself being a 76 year old woman and not 'handy'. However, I am armed with knowledge to keep from getting ripped off! Thanks, much appreciated!

[@Kovaction]

Wow. Super detailed repair! Sadly, a lazy guy like me will use this as an excuse to upgrade, but it does look do-able.

[@theneuz3131]

I feel like the brightness of different brand led strips wouldn't match %100 but I'm super fussy haha, thankyou so much for taking the time to show this video , much appreciated:)

[@grimaldo99]

Grwat video, i am also going through this problem, i purchased a used 2016 Samsung TV 43inch 7series, for $50 bucks, never turned on the TV at the place of purchased and i came home to find this problem, many people will tell you, that its better to get a new TV. Because the repair cost is so expensive, but i see that is not. Thank you Sir, for the great video, i learned lot from it, and enjoy that delicious fruit. SEMPER FIDELIS and may God bless you.

[@Nocholas]

Thank you for demonstrating 'checking your parts'. Great technician habits.

[@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.

[@michaelblozen8472]

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!

[@u4109]

Was heading to the City Recycling bin with this Samsung UN49NU6300F .....until I saw this video, ordering the part now (if I can find it), and will watch the Video over and over until it's sticks. Thanks James!!

[@MyPIDream]

Thanks for sharing!

[@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%.

[@Darionjoyce]

I really appreciate the video and thats what has prompted to take the job of fixing my tv myself as samsung is charging a fee of £100 just for callout . Thanks alot

[@pancholopez2656]

Really interesting and done with minimal tools . Love how the neighbors dropped off some of Gods candy . Thank you for sharing

[@wistful9960]

Thank you very much for the detailed video! I used your video to replace the LEDs on my Samsung tv to resolve the black screen issue. You saved me 100s of dollars in buying a new TV!

[@MyPIDream]

Glad it worked out for you!

[@rl4856]

Your video helped me repair a similar Samsung in 55" size. $40 for new LEDs and the problem is solved. Reassembly was more difficult than expected plus the bezel refused to stay clipped in. Rather than forcing brittle plastic to comply, a bead of glue around the seam now holds everything together. Thank you!

[@Guitardiv2]

Hi, could you tell me where you found these LEDS?

[@biswanathporey8586]

you are a real genius in todays world. 99 percent of people will crack the costly lcd screen in this case.

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. 👍

[@jesseemerson8505]

Just fixed a TV I found being thrown out that had a bad backlight. Thank you sir! Total cost was $36 for LED strips and a remote plus an hour or so of work. I liked the intermission with the fruit. I am trying to grow some ice cream bananas too.

Woke up to my 3 year old, Samsung, 55" TV blacked out on one side, as well as a smaller portion on the opposite side, leaving only a small strip of picture remaining lit. I'm absolutely going to try this fix! No reason for fear...it's already broken and there's no way I'd pay to have it fixed. So, if I am successful great! If not, I need a new TV no matter. Thanks for this video, it is very well shot and you explain things in clear detail. I will update on my success or failure.

I found a small Samsung 24". It didn't have a power supply. I bought that and a remote control on Amazon pretty cheap. But it has a black screen. After watching this video, I don't know if I want to go further! It looks like a lot more work than I thought it would be. It might be worth it for a larger TV, but not a small one.

[@sherrycannon5977]

Thank you so much. 1 st was warranty and that was replaced. But new TV did same thing. And I was about to buy new TV. My sons TV just went out to last night! So I'm glad I found your video. I will have two TVs fixed cheaper than buying one. Again thank you for making this video!!

[@MyPIDream]

Make sure you turn down the brightness in the settings to around 50%. This will extend the life of your LED light strips years. Glad this helped!

[@jesusrperezd]

Thanks for this, very helpful, I repaired my tv by myself. I went to a "technician" to replace the mainboard, after that the screen was very dark and he said that the board wasn't working properly, I took my TV home and see your video. 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. Another thing to check is in the settings, go to Eco mode, if it is high then the screen will be dark. Thans again

[@MyPIDream]

Thank you for sharing in case this ever happens to anyone else.

[@Ternchannels]

very nice and clear tutorial sir ty ang godbless.

OCD dictates that as the new LEDs were slightly different then after all that work both LEDs strips should be replaced but hey what a good job 👍

Very good video of how to save a lot of pesos. I have a black screen with sound okay. I've tried shining a very bright led flashlight against the screen from several angles but don't see any image so I may have another problem this tv was purchased from Amazon and was refurbished so I guess it may be a recycle, but I'm going to keep looking and maybe it is a bad connection or circuit board? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us!
