LED Strip Replacement Tutorial - LG 42LN TV - How to Replace the LED Strips No Backlights

[@brianibell633]

An EXCELLENT and clear video. Spent £29 on new LEDs and followed this video step by step (very slowly)-SUCCESS and have never opened up an LED TV I was delighted with the result. Saved me about £400 in just one hour !!-THANKS JIMMY 5 STAR !!!

[@dannypineda6240]

I was able to repair my LG 42 inch tv because of this video. Thank you very much for uploading this video. Now my LG tv works like new.

[@shopjimmy]

We love hearing that. Nicely done! Thank you so much for your support!

[@Aleks_BG]

Hello Danny, when u changed the strips, later u put the white layers, they are 4 of them 3 very slim and 1 gross. When u put the gross one first or last??

[@seanm3189]

Amazing video. I did the repair myself, took about 3 hours. Totally worth it. Amazing video, litterally showed everything it needed to. Took me a little to figure out where all the screws went on the back panel but I got it. When I first tried powering it on it didnt work and I freaked out. Took back apart the back panel and took out all the plugs blew on them and put them back in. TV works like new!

[@NDDC12]

Just thought that I would let you know that I followed your video instructions and did a little trouble shooting as my tv lg tv was not the same as the one in your video, anyway it took me a long to time to replace the LEDS and hey presto it worked. Saved me several hundred pounds. Thanks man, it gave me a great feeling of accomplishment.

Thanks a lot, helped me a lot. Only 1 comment: I choose NOT to remove the ribboncables from the display, but to remove the flatcable from the t-con board. And leave the t-con board connected to the display during repair. This plug connection is less vulnerable, works well for me. Another tip: Note where any short and long screws are mounted, it prevents internal damage.

[@neilhutch4]

Thank you so much for this! Tested the broken TV with a flashlight, and could still see the picture so knew it was a backlight issue. £45 on some new LED strips and a few hours of careful work then boom! it works again. This was super super helpful. I think a few others have mentioned about the staggered LED strips too, maybe a note in the description would be enough to make people aware? But anyway, it was easy to spot during the process, so thank you again!

[@youcancanyou]

How does it happen that all LED strips fail at once?

[@lukaszinkevicius5394]

Can I get link from srcreen sellers?

[@19cohiba75]

Funny, watched your video and ordered the led strips from eBay. Turns out the strips came from you, lol !!! Everything works like new now, Thank You for the Great tutorial !!!

[@philipstafford-gaffney2440]

FANTASTIC!!! You have just saved an old fart a couple $'000. I have a Panasonic TH55CX700A that I will tackle ... basics can't be too different from the LG you worked on ... just need loads of patience and photos stage by stage. Thanks again.

[@crunchtime69]

I took a chance and ordered the LED strips without testing the LEDs and it paid off. My tv now works again. Thank you so much for your video.

[@metnirizik7613]

good for you. i took my tv apart but can't tell what caused the screen to go black. i'm thinking to do what you did.

[@crunchtime69]

Did the LEDs fix your problem?

[@metnirizik7613]

Unfortunately, Rick, the answer is no. I am still trying without have success to narrow down the cause. It may be the power board but the multimeter I used was not conclusive. I will probably do what you did, but am still skittish about the outcome. Meanwhile, I have tv parts in two rooms of the house to serve as a sore reminder that the job is still not done. Thanks for asking.

[@717dash_cam]

If the LEDs didn't fix it, you may want to replace the power supply.

[@metnirizik7613]

Rick: Finally. I definitely over-analyzed and never got to test the LED lights, but the led lights were unavailable for quite some time but ss soon as Shopjimmy restocked the led's, I ordered and got a quick delivery and re-tackled the task. Now the TV works again!! I also adjusted the backlight setting at 65% in order to help avoid another "blackout". Thanks for your post. It was very encouraging to me. Hope your unit is still going strong. I

Fixed my LG using this guide yesterday. Excellent.

[@MoTivE-pw9hb]

Top stuff my man thanks to this video I easily was able to fix my lg tv by identifying the bad led strip and fitting a new one. Tv is now fully working again. Liked and subscribed.

[@nathanthomaspresentseveryt2461]

Worked like a dream straight forward easy fix bought my led strips off eBay just make sure you check for correct ones as three different types

[@matthewlovell5858]

This is an awesome tutorial. Today, I pulled my TV apart and ordered the LEDs. So clear and helpful!!

[@davidnicol8629]

Yes the new strips need to be exaxtly as the ones removed...The + And -..must be the same.took me 2 hours but I did it ..For 55 inch LG all repairmen said known problem $350 to fix..I ordered from China 65 bucks an TV works perfectly. Thanks for this video really help me out...

[@brucebruce429]

It worked! Make sure the rivet cables are all the way back in when reassembling and close the secure flaps that keeps them from coming out. One wasn’t in all the way and when turned on the screen was on but a black screen, luckily it was only the river cable. Thanks again great video

[@sathiraguruge9269]

This was a very helpful and straightforward tutorial. I just have one request how do I know the exact matching strips to get? my Tv is the same as the one in this video. Thanks

The code of the TV is behind on the back panel

[@renatoa]

Missed the "Tape the corners together on the layers of diffusion" part, and messed the various films order, now my image is blury, is there any chance to "guess" the right order back? It's a 32LN577 Thank you !

Well done video, it really helped in bringing my LG TV back to life. Thank you for the clear and concise instructions.

[@JohnsonChenWang]

Thanks for this thoroughly helpful video Jimmy I have a LG 43UH620V that Im not sure what to do with. The screen has become incredibly blue/purple over time, I was told that it is likely that the LED strips are the issue and need replacing (that is what brought me here) I was also told to not buy the VESTEL made strips as they seem to be the manufacturer that has this known aging issue of the LED arrays Could you please point me int he right direction to purchase the correct part to attempt this repair?

[@warriorharj79]

Any luck?

[@unsteadycarrot]

Excellent tutorial, just repaired my 47" with some LED strips from banggood for £21 inc priority shipping!. Thanks

[@danlaurentiu1118]

Hi so only the strips need to be replaced in order to have the screen working again after a hit of it . Thanks

[@paulstephenson3920]

I’m about to embark on mine. Did you have difficulty removing the panel/ breaking it or getting dust/fluff/fingerprints on it? Any advice would be brilliant

[@unsteadycarrot]

No difficulties with removing the bezel etc, just take your time and only apply a little pressure where you can feel the plastic clips are. I had to remove a circuit board at one part to get to a plastic clip that hold the white card in place (this is the final part before you can actually get to the leds)

[@paulstephenson3920]

unsteadycarrot thank you. Just that bit about removing the actual screen without it bending or flexing is a bit daunting!

[@unsteadycarrot]

@@paulstephenson3920 the screen part itself comes out nice and easy and is quite rigid. Once that's out just lay against somewhere so it won't fall over or get stepped on. Treat it like you would a big pane of glass

[@mornebezuidenhout3003]

Hi. I might have mixed up my diffusion layers. Any chance of sharing a link or info on the order of the different sheets? Thanks for the informative videos on your channel.

Did you get an answer? Looking for the same information

[@warriorharj79]

How did you mix them up?

[@Aleks_BG]

@ShopJimmy when u replace the Led strips the u put back the white plastic layers, they are 4 of them ( 3 very slim and 1 gross) i dont remember in wich order to put them, does the gross one goes first or last??

[@MB-yb8qn]

Thank you so much for this, worked a treat. Just needed the strips and the bravery to go through with it. I did end up with half white screen but found another of your videos that explained why. I just hadn't connected one of the ribbons properly. Tiny moment of feet stamping at the thought of taking screws back out to get to it but all is well that ends well.

[@mihaic4uk]

Great video, thank you, just saved buying a new TV with 23£ for a set of new LED's 😀

[@Live1052]

TV working great again now, thanks. Only thing is you didn't mention in your video that the led position is staggered and the strips have to go in a certain way. I had to swap 2 of them around cause I didn't notice this until I went to put the reflector back in. Still though, thanks for the video. It was very helpful.

[@scottfraser1702]

Worked like a dream - great instructions - THANK YIOU

Hi what do you recommend for the 2 pieces of plastic used to remove the panel? Do I have to worry about scratching it as well as breaking it? TIA

I have a 42LN5400 LG and the backlights are not working, ( I know it is the backlights because in the dark I can see the logo and menu) I don’t have any flashing when I turn on and off the tv. Could be the led strips, however how do I know that there is no problem with the led driver, do you have any video for this tv troubleshooting the led driver? Thank you for your help

Hi u usaulily good but this time not so...? how many laser r between the led and metal in order also how u disconnect the led from strip....its a little complicated...please answer me...thank u...GD JCF from Ct...

[@xorange90x]

In what order do the diffusers go? I have the same tv but in 47". I have dark areas near the to and bottom of the screen after replacing my Backlights and I think it's because the diffusers are out of order. I have verified the new LEDs work 100%.

Thanks for helpful video. I tested each led and i had 4 leds on 3 strips not working. On the pover supply output is marked 157.5V but without backlights connected i got it in the range of 210 to 230V. Is it normal, or can it be that power supply is burning out my leds and i should replace both power supply and leds?

[@ak3t0n]

157 v here also on the strips that aren`t working and 37v on the ones that lit up. i suspect the power limiting resistors near the strip connector. i haven`t figured out yet their value. Samsung UE42F5000 TV

[@jaskomijatovic5880]

I've replaced a LED strip on my TV for one that had a faulty LED on it but upon reassembling of the TV and turning it on the screen now clearly has backlight function again but the visual remains black. I can hear sounds coming out of the speakers (as should be) and when I put a light on the screen it stays the same. What could be wrong now?

If you lift up the power board/logic board and have them over the top of one another is it problematic? I just replaced led strips on my tv and now it wont turn on.

[@WYDD82]

Our Panasonic 42" LED TV turns on, turns off, turns on, turns off, turns on then off and then a red blinking light intermittently occurs whilst it is turned off. We have tried a few of the fixes with no success. Would it be time to assume the LEDs need replacing?

[@joaopedrogod]

Have this TV and doesn't have image, but sound. Can't figure is the backlight or power supply. The heatsink for the LED circuit doesn't get hot like others heatsinks.
