Sony 60" LED TV - No Backlight No Image LED Strip Install Replacement Sony Model KD-60X690E

[@claytonengle4918]

Thank you so much! Went from 6 blinking red to a working 60" tv! Thank you thank you thank you! SOME NOTES: On my model (seemingly the same, but not important): 1) there are screws holding in the filter mounts. after taking off the screen, you can break the filter brackets' little clips, and the brackets themselves if you aren't careful. if its fighting you, take the tape off and find the screws! 2) during the video, he has already removed whatever part you see. On account of that, you're going to see pieces he doesnt show. Easy to figure out, but if its fighting you, stop and think, and remove some tape. There's probably some tape in there. 3) While replacing the backlights, make sure to line up backlight A first! the little plug cant really be moved around, while backlight B can go anywhere. If backlight B is off kilter, it's FINE. The diffusers straighten out your lights, just make sure you can get backlight A to reach the plug. 3b) IF YOU CANT get backlight A to reach the plug, DONT FRET! cut the tape holding the wires in place, and you can gain a lot of distance on the backlight A male wire reaching to the strip. 4) the backlights you ordered are VERY FRAGILE, treat them like glass. 5) while working with the two ribbons connecting to the buffer panels, BE CAREFUL! i bent mine because I didn't understand the way they locked/unlocked. The clamp pulls towards you while you are unclasping them! when you are reconnecting them, there is a bump in the outermost portion of the ribbon, and that notch will kind of click into place before you then clasp down the lock, ON BOTH SIDES. this will make sense when you get there. good luck, fixed my 6 blinking red lights!

[@claytonengle4918]

i think the big thing missing from this walkthrough is that you can safely remove any tape from the unit, and you will find all kinds of stuff under them.... take your time!

THANK YOU your advice helped so much.

[@nathanjohnson9566]

THANK YOU SO MUCH Got the TV from goodwill for $50 and the backlights were already bad with the slightly blue tint. Exactly the day passed the return window the TV bricked and I got the red blinking light of death. Luckily I had already ordered the backlights but was skeptical it would be able to fix my TV that would not turn on. By some miracle it did though and I saved myself 1.5k on a brand new one. PSA: Unless you have 3+ people, buy some cheaper suction cups to remove the screen because it is FLIMSY and will snap like it was designed for that sole intention.

[@ebb2421]

don't use cheap plastic suction cups, they don't hold. Get quality metal cups. Ask me how I know...

[@TampaTec]

Good work, and voice over 👍

[@dqtattoos]

Just replaced the backlight in our 70 today the video helped a lot! Thank you!

[@melindapinner4035]

After you remove the bezel (sp?) did you guys flip the tv over in order to remove the screen\panel?

[@RoxStar1968]

Do you guys have a recommended brand / type / size of double sided tape to use for this procedure?

[@wasdw246]

Painter's tape

[@RoxStar1968]

@@wasdw246 Maybe for holding the logic board against the panel but definitely not for holding the new LED backlights in place.

[@RobertStiles]

How did you know which LED strip was defective?

[@claytonengle4918]

By replacing all of them.

[@brianculkin8987]

So I ordered new strips and I have one set that will not light unless you check the positive and neg leads on it. So I put positive test on first set and neg on last and I dont get any light. Cant be the strip itself...or should i just put back together and hope for the best.

[@miguelgonzalez895]

How do you know if it is a bad Tcon or the backlight? My Sony KD-70x690e has a bluish hue and getting worse.

[@anonymouslyhonest1014]

MINE too! Did you figure it out?

[@mrbeerguy8724]

I have the same model and it’s the LED’s. Sony has multiple issues with this exact model and LED’s making the pic have a blueish tint. Btw, Sony won’t due anything to help you even though this is obviously a defective part. I replaced mine pic looks pretty good and now I’m selling it and never buying anything Sony again.

[@NitroAuto77]

@@mrbeerguy8724 Just so you know, a lot of samsung panels suffer the same fate, they must be buying the LCD's from similar vendors or the LED's are the same.

I had the 6 red blinks and I replaced the LED strip on my Sony TV last night. However, after replacing it and turning it on - LED is lighting up but there is no picture on the TV (I can see dark lighted screen). Light is solid green, no error and it seem to react to the remote when I press it. Do you have any suggestions as to what needs to be done to have this fixed? TV was only 3 years old. Thank you for any comments/suggestions.

[@luna3535]

Hi, I have the same problem, I changed the leds, but now is no picture on the tv. Did you fix the tv? Thanks.

[@mrbeerguy8724]

WARNING!! I don’t know if you tested the tv after, but by cutting the reflection sheet to get the lights out I now have light black strips going across the screen especially noticeable when the screen has bright whites or light colors. You can see where the light isn’t reflecting now.

[@tommysalzburg]

Did you put the reflector strips back on the LED strips when you replaced them?

[@nerraddier]

Hello, I replaced all Led strips on my Sony KD-60X690E. After i finished I turned it on and green light stays on,I have sound but no picture. Backlights are lit up and seem to be fine. What could I have done to cause no picture. The green light stays on and responds to remote control but I see no picture when i hit home on menu and although screen is not black I see no display. Do you have an idea what may be problem? p.s. I checked all cables and everything looks to be plugged in.

[@fullermanb]

Nerrad, did you ever figures out the fix for this? I had the exact same experience as you.

[@nerraddier]

@@fullermanb Yes It was the 1 of the two Ribbons connecting to the T-Con board.

[@kreeperkriminal]

@@nerraddier What do you mean the two ribbons - I have the same issue, sound but black screen. I'm pretty sure I put both ribbons on properly...

[@nerraddier]

@@kreeperkriminal There are two thin cables that are connected to the screen and a circuit board at the bottom of tv if you take the back of the tv off you'll see them. They (depending on the size of tv) 60' will have 60 pins 65' 65 pins and so on. They can easily be damaged if you take them off. I damaged one of them slightly and I had a hard time finding a replacement. I fixed my tv by replacing the LED strips but because I Tinkered with the tv at first when it didn't turn on so many times I damaged one ribbon. If your tv just started to go out unplug it,10 min and plug directly into the wall and not power strip. if it comes on and works then your Led's are going out and need replacing. You can do the unplug trick about 10 times before it fails completely.

[@MACLAN-jo3ef]

@@nerraddier Where did you buy the ribbon? It seem like I have the same issue after replacing my LED Strips. No picture but backlights are lit up and appears fine and also have green light on TV.

i think you should be using thermal tape?

[@phillv]

do you have any idea what this should cost using a service guy referred by sony? i have this exact model less than two years old purchased brand new, watched football on it all day yesterday then this morning wouldnt turn on and i noticed the six red flashing lights, sony support gave me the number of a guy who says what im describing is 99% the backlight and the estimate range he game me is the same price as a new tv like everything in this world SONY is not what they used to be

[@davidmobley4983]

$300

[@phillv]

@@davidmobley4983 i had a repair guy come today he had quoted me $240 if it was the backlight, he came to pick the TV up bc he said he needed 3 tables in his shop to do it & he messed with my TV for a few minutes and said throw it away and buy a new TV the panel is fried he drove a fairly long distance to my house for absolutely no charge to pick up the TV & he wouldn't even take it with him, he said what this will cost to repair just buy a new tv my previous sony lasted 20 years this one didn't last 2, just bought a 75-inch samsung at costco for half what this crap model sony cost, ill never buy sony again

[@KurtisCardwell]

Lots of folks with these same problems, myself included. Sony should be ashamed.

[@---GOD---]

This is not the way to do it. You should remove the pegs and remove the reflector instead of cutting it up.

[@sershetech5584]

Watching bro

[@electronicartis]

Not another backlight repair video again. need to show some repair on how To repair screen when there is Line an other defects on the screen

[@ToastyCourier]

More of a in depth diagnostic. Could be mainboard, logicboard, drivers/ribbons, bad screen or bad cables to the logicboard/mainboard.

[@MrDbflex1]

I have a Sony KD-65x750h and the picture went and I get blinking red light 6 times, I did factory reset and everything else but still no picture and red light blinking 6 times, I turn out my lights and shine a flashlight on the screen and can see the welcome banner from the welcome screen because of the reset and to the right the language to choose, so I can see images useing a flashlight, what would this indicate as far as a repair goes? Also Im in Canada and wonder how much a repair would cost me, very disapointing the tv was purchased on the 23rd of Dec 2020 and red light 6 blinks no picture only sound happened tonight Dec 28th, aint that a peach sony. Thanks to anyone who can help with my inquiry.

[@delpifoever]

I have the same model and I bought it the same day as you 😅 and there I have the same problem. In the end, did you find the problem source?

[@MrDbflex1]

@@delpifoever Hey wish I çould help but I ended selling it to a computer repair guy for 150$ I'm sure he fixed it but I didn't bother to follow up and ask and find out it was a cheap easy fix. Shame to I paid just over a grand for it, had and still have many Sony products but I'm not as much of a fan anymore, that tv was a new replacement first one after 2 months had dark grey splotches in about 8 places the size of a tangerine. No more TV's for me but I'm concidering a smaller 4k monitor. Let me know if you fix it.✌️

[@insideMan1981]

led tv's are total shit

[@frankquite493]

Sir, with every due respect, I totally dislike your video. You should have taken the time to show how to remove every screw/ part! I know you wanted to condense it for time sake, but you didn’t keep in mind those who aren’t tech savvy… theres a lot of screws and taped down pieces that could easily turn this job into a half day bid.
