Led TV Repair ep2 Has sound but no picture

This is my 2nd attempt at fixing my LG 47ln5400 TV. The first repair lasted about a week and might have lasted longer if I would have turned the back light setting down. The end result is removing the bad leds and just soldering the + and - connections together to complete the circuit on the led strip since the leds are in a series. Then I just turned down the back light brightness to a lower setting to help prevent more leds from burning out. If a problems occurs Ill update as needed.
TV still working and on the wall as of 8/4/2017 :)

[@AveRage_Joe]

+TheBillytheJack2010 Thanks, Ya I can find a few left over screws from time to time. I figure Id put the video up to show some things I tried and what worked and what didnt work so maybe someone can try to fix there own.

[@skytvod]

Hi there, yes it is a good idea to turn your backlights down because this is the bias voltage to those LEDS. The hotter they run the less lifetime they have

[@muralidasb8504]

Hi Joe, Your video was very helpful. I could fix my LG LED TV after watching this. Thanks a lot.

[@AveRage_Joe]

I am glad to see it has helped, mine is still up on the wall after making this video.

[@prajithkarumathil]

An outstanding tutorial..... big thanks to u.. I'm facing same problem with my LG TV. LG technician came here said repair cost would be almost 80% of the TV price. Can u pls let me know what is the type of LED light I need to buy ? what is the tool u used for checking those LED, Is that multimeter? It's all LG TV which has problem here. If anyone from LG read the comments here, they'll feel ashamed of their LED product. Guyz, pls do not buy LG LED tv.....

[@AveRage_Joe]

Prajith K Thanks, I think there is a comment a few down that a guy has posted the leds.

[@jacquie.ec.2012]

We have the same LG TV size and the bulbs have burned out twice already (got the TV in 2013 and the first burnout was in 2015, then again this year). We had a guy come to our house to fix it and it cost us about $200 repair each time. Don't know how long this next repair will last.

[@AveRage_Joe]

To help it last longer, lower the back light settings in the tv menu settings.

[@jacquie.ec.2012]

Thanks, will do that.

[@robertm1371]

good job but you should use smd led like the original,you can find on Ali express or e bay.most used diode is lg led 3528, its 3.2v but that doesn't mean is the right diode for every tv .I don't recommend to short + - that mean more voltage for other led's.trust me i have replaced more than 300 diodes by now

[@AveRage_Joe]

Robert M Yeah I agree, I just used what I had avaliable at the time. Thats another reason why I turned the backlight down. If the tv goes out again Ill replace the bad with new.

[@raguram5118]

Hi Sir i am in india your video is very useful please keep it up. And one request, please upload the how to replace LED TV Universal mother board We're waiting for your your new videos Thanks a lot

[@Sloxx701]

Just use diodes. Using off the shelf leds can be difficult and the brightness will be off or the new leds wont be bright enough to see through the diffuser anyway. Sometimes you can jump out the terminals and get it to work like you did, sometimes that may not work and will put the feedback circuit into shutdown. I just use whatever zener diodes I have on hand, this is usually 1N4148s which are easy to get anywhere.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Awesome, great idea!!!

[@Sloxx701]

yeah, its a bit easier than trying to source those leds or the led strips from a tv, and you can't really notice one or two leds out anyway. Also, I turn the backlight power down to keep the leds from dying as much. They like to set it to 100% from the factory which kills them.

[@madamada888]

If you don't mind a small darker area where the led was, which is only visible when one color is displayed, you can just short the burned led. I did this on my TV, as the driver is current limited. I think mine was limiting at 250 mA, and I had 3 which failed. It lasted for almost a year, when others started to fail, but I got new LED strips now.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yup, thats pretty much what I did and its still on the wall and going strong

[@Browningate]

@Dacke I think that it's garbage quality control and cheap Led backlights that kills them.

[@MarioMorales925]

Great video ...you know I don't have a TV like that, but It really was amazing to see how you fix yours.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Mario Morales Thanks!!! I really love to take things apart to see whats inside then fix what I can. :)

[@RussellBooth1977]

I think you started to blow the diodes you replaced because there is a Lack of heat transfer between the LED & copper strip which I believe that acts as a heatsink as well as a conductor,at least in the LG television sets,one that I'm working on now. I was thinking about soldering a standard led in,but then I heard of the trouble you have been having with that. The LG unit I pulled apart last night has 7 LEDs on each strip & 3 strips in total which equals 21 LEDs connected in series which are rated at 6 volts each in an LG unit. That means a total of 126 volts DC is needed to run the diodes,I got between 125 - 130 volts dc out of the power board so that was o.k. I found that 2 of the 3 strips were o.k. when connected to 24 volts DC. The other strip didn't light up so I removed all of the diffusers to test the LEDs with my multimeter & selected the diode test setting. 5 of the LEDs had a 0.7 volt drop across them (o.k.) whereas 2 of them were at zero volts (open circuited). So,I will order some 6 volt surface mount LEDs from China for the unit then solder them into position !!!!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah this is all I could do at the time. If more leds go out I will replace them with the surface mount leds because I have a couple of led strips from another tv. Will post a vid if and or when it happens and update the description box.

[@jeffescortlx]

Russell Booth No, his replacement LEDs burned out because he used run of the mill 5mm leds. That for all we know is rated for 20mA. The TV led driver board is going to regulate current, so it could be targeting 200mA. Of course the leds are going to fail. Also, doesn't matter what resistor you put in series with it because the power supply regulates current, so it's going to ramp up the voltage until it gets to desired current. If it was a thermal problem it would work for a short while, but he said it burned out immediately.

[@AveRage_Joe]

+jeffescortlx Yes Sir!

Absolutely non-serious repair - installation of an LED with different current compared to the original 3528. :)

[@Iahusha777Iahuah]

To test mine I plugged in TV and turned it on with the screen off and LEDs exposed and you can see it flash before auto shutdown , I could see 3 whole strips dead. Then I plugged in the L1 & L2 strips and they lit up and all stayed on so through process of elimination I found that the R1 and R2 strips were the bad ones, after I bridged (+ & - ) together all the strips turned on and I could see the rest of the individual broken LEDs. I soldered all of them and It still works, I thought a short circuit would heat up but I guess not if it is a specific voltage limit, it is also DC. I then thought if I did not bridge it or short circuit it, then the remaining LEDs could have more voltage forced through it and burn them out faster. well just keeping brightness lower for moment.

[@Iahusha777Iahuah]

I think I connect a full strip with one partial strip the L side so all would work (when enough are burnt out the TV has an auto disconnect, I think when it is more than 3 or 4 , so since I eliminated on bad strip I could see which specific ones were out, and I did bridge them because if I did not then the 3 or 4 bad LED limit is passed and it shuts the whole thing down. Who ever left this thing on the side of the road must have the brightness cranked for years, really unnecessary if watching TV at night. I think the vivid setting cranks brightness up, also sidenote; there is a brightness setting and a backlight level setting which are seperate.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Awesome, glad you got it going.

[@rez4405]

This is very good at what he dose

[@DrPhatMusic]

Got a 42LN5400, no backlight, and I'm about to do this... just find, bridge, and hope for the best! Paid $20 for the thing "pre-repair".........

Watched a few videos on this subject. This one was the only one to suggest shorting the contacts as the "easy fix". I did it & it worked. Thanks! These SMD LEDs gotta be a standard spec across so many models of TV. You'd think they'd be easily & cheaply available on ebay?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks!!! Yeah this was the cheapest easy fix that I could come up with. Sure its not the best option but its still up on the wall and working great. Agreed, they should be easily and cheaply avaliable. Glad it helped :)

[@johnsnyder9033]

Why are the leds connected in series. Thought we did away with this with Christmas Lights. Unless the voltage drop causes too much strain in the circuit parallel connections should work fine.

Hi, i have a LG 50LA620V-ZA, it seems similar to yours, the problem that i have is that it only shows for half second the logo LG , and after that it turns black, i open the back case and it seems that the LEDs are lighting for half second and after that it switches off, how to make sure that the problem are the LEDs? Many thanks, or maybe the PSU, or PCB?

[@oscarchin1973]

What I meant? When the screen was on. There were 2 extra light bulb brighter on the pictures. It's like 2 extra light up and down at the right hand side in the middle of the screen.

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Fook Siang Oh ok, I would think that you either have a couple leds that are about to go bad or some have gone bad and its letting more voltage go to the leds that are bright.

[@oscarchin1973]

So, do it need to change 2 of LED light.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Hi i hav the same problem with my led lg tv, may i know what model and the inches of your lg tv?

I have a vizio. manufactured in 2015 so it seems different than the lg you fixed . I took it apart clearly not knowing what the hell I'm doing . don't have a flashlight to do the test but when commercials come on the screen will get a bit brighter and it has audio. Can you help me out on how to fix it please!!!

[@AveRage_Joe]

You would need to test the leds if you can.

[@int0x13]

Hello, Man why dont you show the final result at the end (the picture)? I bet you got an uneven backlight on the lines that you removed the LEDs. Do you see white point of bright at the place you removed the LEDs?

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Julien I could do a follow up video if that would interest people. Normal watching you dont see a difference however if the screen is really bright white you do see a darker area where the few leds are removed.

[@int0x13]

No it's ok, i just wanted to see the picture. Because i did the same repair on my client set and i got some white points (more visible on white or clear pictures) on the bands i've removed one led. I'm not sure what is the reason and i wondered if you have the same. But you said no.

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Julien Oh ok, yeah mine are more of a darker spot one the bright white screen. Did you turn the backlight down. I would say that since the leds are removed, it allows more voltage to the leds that are left. I would lower thw backlight setting. There is a comment on here were a person recommended putting a regular diode in place of the bad led to simulate load like an led.

[@bukolaolaniyan676]

hi. i have a 55 inch lg tv which is also having the same issue. my question is if u simply patch the + / - as u did in yours, wont that area have a visible sign of lower illumination? or did your diffuser help even it all out. especially given that there were more than one bad led points.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yes you are correct, it can have a darker spot if you have a few leds out in the same area like mine. You can only see when that part of the screen goes really bright white. Its not really noticeable during regular viewing. The diffuser does a pretty good job. So if you have 1 led you probly wouldnt notice much.

[@leonjohnsonjr3331]

Try a 65in like that

[@oscarchin1973]

I got a LG LED smart tv. The screen has picture but there is extra two light bulb on the screen when the tv was on.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Im not really sure what you mean by 2 extra light bulbs on the screen?

[@dreartand]

It´s just two diffusers got fall , open the panel and you can figure out. Watch out because are difficult to adjust and a little touch can fall the others. Hope you understand because my broken English.

[@deejayitalo]

*How to destroy all of the Led's in your Led TV* You can't just make a bridge in series. Voltage changes in a series wiring so you have to replace the led with another which need to be the same without any resistors

[@oatmeal8586]

Not exactly, following the series circuit analysis: the current flow in a series circuit is the same, but the voltage changes; it means that the current flowing in one strip is the same, no matter how many elemnts, however, the voltage does change. Assuming that 24v is the ideal voltage value and following the Kirchhoff Voltage Law, we substract the voltage value for each LED (Vl) (which is arround 1.18v and 1.5v, typically) and the resulting value is the voltage of all the resistive elements (which I'm gonna call Vrt); then you divide Vrt by the total number of resistive elements to find out the individual voltage value of each resistor (Vrn). After that, You add both Vrn and 1.18~1.5v (LED individual voltage) and the resulting number is the voltage of that node, which I'm calling Vn; lastly, you measure the current of the strip (or take the value given in the specs, which you should have since you're making repairs on an electronic device), I'm gonna call this value Is (current on the strip), so you follow the equation: R=Vn/Is Where R is the value of the resistor you should put between the + and - terminals, although, I recomend using a slightly bigger value (i.e. if R=375, use 380). That way you shouldn't burn your LED's

[@prosperjapheth691]

Pleas can you do a video for showing the pictures after applying this repairs? And solo can u show a video please on how to solder the +/- together? Because what am thinking is that when u do solder both together is bridging can you clarify me on this pls..

[@AveRage_Joe]

I just recently had another Led burn out and I took the tv apart to replace the burned out leds and when I was reassembling the Tv I cracked a small piece of glass on the corner of the screen 😱so now there is a big black line on one side of the screen😞 . But yes, you are correct, I just bridged the connections with solder where I had removed the Leds!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Well there is a bit of work involved to tear down the whole tv and replace the leds and then getting the tv back together. I think $100 isnt bad at all!

Hello average Joe What resistor did you end up making it work?

[@AveRage_Joe]

+fitz phillips In the video I said that I removed the resistor and just soldered the + and - together where I removed the bad leds. Its still up on the wall and working great :)

[@fitzphillips5370]

You mean that you shorted on the PCB( -+) or did you mean that you eliminated the resistor and soldered the LED directly without a resistor?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yes I shorted the (-+) on the pcb and eliminated the resistor and bad led. I also turned the backlight down to help prevent more leds going out since they will receive more voltage. Another suggestion from a viewer said you could solder in just a regular diode to simulate the load of the led and that would keep the other leds from getting to much voltage which I think is a great idea.

[@Hardtalkz]

Sir i have THOMSON 42PB130S5 Intuiva(2005), when i connect DVD, Sat receiver, USb etc i get audio perfectly, but the screen doesn't display anything not even light. technicians around me don't have any idea on how to go about it. could you help me sir. actually works fine except for the screen that remain black.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Does the screen have video at all or did it quit on everything. If video has stopped on everything then do the flashlight test to see if anything shows up on screen. If you can see picture with flashlight then that means your backlight has gone out. This could be the backlight inverter board is bad or one or more of the cfl bulbs are bad. There are a few videos on youtube that show you how to check the inverter board to find out if just the board is bad or a cfl is bad.

The rest are OK and don't show any defective signs under the clear plastic things on top of them. I'm asking because I don't want to spend like $80 bucks on the whole set, I only need one LED strip. I guess? Also, because I don't want to get electrocuted by testing them.

Then I plugged in the L1 & L2 strips and they lit up and all stayed on so through process of elimination I found that the R1 and R2 strips were the bad ones, after I bridged (+ & - ) together all the strips turned on and I could see the rest of the individual broken LEDs. I soldered all of them and It still works, I thought a short circuit would heat up but I guess not if it is a specific voltage limit, it is also DC. I then thought if I did not bridge it or short circuit it, then the remaining LEDs could have more voltage forced through it and burn them out faster. well just keeping brightness lower for moment.

Kevin Cyr thanks, but I already fixed it a long time ago with just using a magnified lens and seeing for any burnt LEDs. it worked for me ☺

[@Iahusha777Iahuah]

some of mine that didnt work had no visible sign

[@mariegriffiths]

I'm doing this repair now thanks, I have two cats to worry about. What is their name?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Good luck with the tv. There names are Beyonce and Horus!👍

[@mariegriffiths]

The repair worked thanks. I tried testing the strps with a 12v supply but there wasnt enough power. So I just put the new part in one of the 3 strips. 1in 3 chance and powered up the TV disassembled. I chanced on the right row first time and it is now fixed. People have winged about the colour temperatures of the LEDs being out on replacement but I do not see that problem at all. I had to remove cat fur from the LED that my cats had walked around during the job. They do their best help.

[@mariegriffiths]

BTW I bought my strip on line from a dealer in Portugal on eBay. All fine it was an orginal part.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Ok ya if the leds didnt power up then that was because one or more were burnt out. Glad the cats helped and the tv is working!!!😀👍

[@kevinglidden3734]

Since you basically eliminated the leds that weren't working can you tell that they aren't there when watching?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Kevin Glidden Only on a all white screen but not during regular watching.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Kevin Glidden Thats also because my tv had 2 that were closer together

[@tskrajak]

led micromax32" no picture only audio old give us suggestions to repair

[@AveRage_Joe]

Did you try any of the steps I took in the video?

[@kimberlyaguilar3935]

What if there is sound and I ran the flashlight test and I do see words but i opened up the tv and all the led light strips don't work. is it really all of them or is it a bad connection. I tried to test them all but they won't light up. please help im lost now

[@AveRage_Joe]

Kimberly aguilar Test them in the middle section like I did. They all cant be bad

[@Freshleopk]

but when i connect panel connector to led driver only two strips get low light snd remaining two almost zero light what i should do

[@ashokkummar427]

How much does the whole kit costs?

[@freshkrew123]

Had the same issue. Used the flashlight trick had a dim picture. Pulled everything off and checked the connection for LEDs. Now the bottom LED strip is blinking and other ones no lights. Please help?!?

[@AveRage_Joe]

+andrew blackwell All I did was remove the bad leds and solder those connections together. Beens working ever since🖒

[@freshkrew123]

AveRage Joe well it's in pieces. So step by step, LEDs were dim. Jiggled the connecter for the LEDs, they all went out and only the bottom row blinks. Just curious if you have any insight. Btw great video, love the music

[@AveRage_Joe]

+andrew blackwell Use a little 12v power supply like I did and seperate the strips from each other and put the power supply leads on the little test spots on the led stripes to find the bad ones.

[@freshkrew123]

AveRage Joe yes!! It worked. But not sure how to solder +- together? If put a spot of solder on the led area would that work?

[@AveRage_Joe]

+andrew blackwell Yup thats all I did🖒

[@shrisaibangleandcosmeticsw3797]

Sir my 32" led tv automatic off after 20-25 minutes but sound is hear but picture not show like black screen. And then start again picture and sound see clear and after 20minut these problem repeate again.please solve the problem.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Probly a capacitor on one of the boards. Take the back off and take a look at them.

[@maheshkalokhe5724]

[@AveRage_Joe]

Ya you sure can!

[@nalinkumar463]

I need help my dvd loptop, it's showing light only but its Born by hi voltage, which I.C can I changes.

[@AveRage_Joe]

That is probly something on the inverter board!

[@MrKirbinio]

I got a led strip but its not the same is there some way to adapt it

[@AveRage_Joe]

You could probly just solder the strip in or remove the leds from the good led strip and solder them into place of the bad

[@pushkarpahuja8309]

Sir plz tell me cost for this

[@jasephase2k933]

Hve recently bought a samsung led monitor image is bright when first switched on slightly dulls the main board is buzzing the square coper block in centre of board image shws slighty faded line every so often wt could be the fault as nt gt the tools cnt detect

[@AveRage_Joe]

is there any swollen capacitors, check the solder connections where you hear the buzzing

[@jasephase2k933]

Its the black block wt as coper wire in wts buzzing hvnt removed board as hvnt no solder iron

[@jasephase2k933]

Dulls re brightens dulls again nt continuers

[@jasephase2k933]

Is brilliant image for a cheap hd when is nt dulling

[@jasephase2k933]

Slightly showing faded image lines un focuses a bit when dulls
