This tutorial is 6 years old so you may never see my comment but I loved this 2 part tutorial. I had already done the flashlight test before I found this tutorial but I didn't know what to do next. I checked your channel. I'm glad you're still creating content in 2023.

[@awaitingthetrumpetcall4529]

@@dont_sweat9448 Just so you know I cracked the screen. It cracked under its own weight. It was super fragile. If I ever try it again I need to make sure the screen does not flex when I handle it.

Your candid instructions are the best so far I followed. My BRUM TV LED stopped functioning at the beginning of the year. Its warranty had expired but I was referred to the company workshop in Kenya. The company charged me USD 65 to replace them. this was too much and I had the TV returned without repair. I got the New LED from a dealer at $20 and fixed it myself. Thanks so much for this useful information

[@patrickrose5034]

Can’t thank you enough man! I followed part 1 to troubleshoot and part 2 to fix. My tv works perfectly now. You saved me hundreds of dollars!

[@TampaTec]

Congrats fixing your TV, hopefully still works after these past years.

[@williamzhang963]

1:36 "there is a chance you can get hurt, or even damage the TV" Glad to see a TV technician who gets his priorities straight! LOL

[@buakawfan333]

Thanks so much. Gave my TV a really good deep clean at the same time. It really worked. Changing the LED strips was 100% the easiest and most satisfying part of the job 😂 I did swear a lot when we got to the part where you said we should have removed the TV board to get the white pins out. Still, no big deal. Sorted my TV for £22. ❤

[@joseph_donovan]

Where was that cheeky, lovable son of yours when you needed him to help you? Great video. A classic in TV repair. Bravo and thank you for making and sharing!

[@damiendecroos7944]

Thanks for this video, Tampatec! My LG TV was exactly as on the video. I was able to follow all the steps easily. Painters tape worked great to keep the screen and the frame together. I didn't need the suction cup, since I taped the screen to the frame and I was able to remove the screen by lifting the frame. The tester and led strips from ShopJimmy worked great as well. Only negative point is I lost 3 nails by trying to unclip the frame! Then I realized a flat screw driver worked much better! Again, great video and easy to follow. I would add that it's easier when you disconnect all the electronic boards ans remove them, so you don't have to worry about damaging electronic components when you flip the TV

[@jacolyns539]

This clip is very promising, and very educative. So precisely elucidated and needs loads of patients as its absolute delicate handling followed by pinpoint precision. Wonderful presentation which definitely deserves applause and a great thumps up. God bless your hands. Jacolyn (Srilanka).

[@mikeoleksa]

I used this video and part 1 to get my LG 55LB5900 apart and tested. It's definitely the LED strips. Thank you for taking the time to make and upload this video. Thankfully, I have experience with laptop repairs, including the LED screens. They are very similar except more parts are integrated because of the much smaller size. I get the part where you say that it's not that hard of a repair. It's more getting the confidence that it can actually be done. It only took me about 45 minutes to an hour to get to where the LED strips are exposed. The only thing I did different was using smaller pieces of tape only between the ribbon cables that connect the actual screen to the boards. I just didn't want to take any chances of damaging one of those connections. I ordered the parts and I'll work on removing the old strips. I figured it's as good a place as any to take a break. There wasn't anything frustrating about it. It was very straight forward and this video helped A LOT. Thank you.

[@nolinovio6748]

I watched this video and I was able to 1) diagnose my LED backlit problem 2) buy the tester to determine which LED's where out 3) I then replaced all of my LED lights...all 6 rows of them 4) enjoying my TV that is brighter than ever....Thank you Tampatec!

[@AMTRVB]

Hi it's Wayne from Affordable Mobile TV Repair. Very good video, and I would like at add a few thoughts. You can actually repair LED strips when the strips are out of stock. I have been repairing LED strips for 5 years and have few call backs. As long as you decrease you BL setting to 60% and update your firmware(if available), you should have no problems. This week I will be posting the procedure on how to repair LED strips on my website.

[@omardeleon867]

I have a 49 inch Toshiba that's going bad, some days it works fine, but I'll say that whenever weather gets a little colder it begins to fail, but based on your videos it seems that it has a LED issue. So, I will go for it and open it up to see how it goes. I like your videos TampaTec, they're nicely done.

[@michaelw7540]

You can also plug up the TV once disassembled and use 99cent Tweezers to test each LED by touching both sides of the LED. The good LEDs won't do anything when doing this but you'll know right away when you get to the bad LED because all the lights will come on because when touching the bad LED with the Tweezers you're bypassing the bad LED forcing a Closed Circuit.

[@jeffweber8244]

Sounds right, unless you have more than 1 bad LED in a strip.

[@wesleywatkins4779]

I've never posted any comments on KZbin before but I recently had my 50'' Hisense tv go out. While my 2 year old was going crazy not being able to watch Peppa Pig, I bought a small tv as a temporary quick fix so I could tear the tv apart. Even though the one you're showing is a LG, it's very similar to the Hisense I'm currently working on. I was very skeptical about removing the actual tv screen as I'm aware they're very fragile but was more at ease watching you do it. Very helpful video. Appreciate the walk through and explanation of what and why or how to do what.

[@1futuretense]

Good video, few notes - the white screens behind the lcd in my vizio e60 interlocked with the screen brackets, so check carefully when disass-reassemble - I dont know what tampatec uses to turn on the leds, i plugged in the tv and turned it on (lcd was disconnected) that did the trick. - shopjimmy supplied me with the leds (thanks) they were used - i - hope they have a warranty ! they did work - so on reassembly my picture was screwed up. seems there are side tabs that dont connect to anything, yet can screw up the picture. I noticed if i positioned the bad one correctly it would work. so I went to tape it in place and accidentally removed it with the tape! So running out of options (putting it back on is near impossible) I notice that row was fine, the others had issues, so on that same side i removed all the tabs... and it worked!! must be some strange grounding thing. Just wanted to share my experience, THanks tampatec for helping me restore my $800 unit! Last note - I called Vizio about getting the backlights, they gave me their tech support, who gave me shopjimmy....

If the picture very dark but settings for brightness, contrast and backlight is high then my logical guess few of the LED blacklight strips are bad. Get LED strips at shopjimmy.com and electropartsonline.com

Great video Tampatec! Your youtube channel is really helpfull and inspiring! Good to see that some technicians don´t mind to share their skills and knowledge with others. Recently my LED TV Samsung UE32f5000AW went complety dark, no picture. I have seen the part 1 video, tried to follow your steps and perform the measurements but due to my lack of electronics knowledge the results were inconclusive. The T-CON test showed image with the flashlight. I have totally dissambled the tv and tried to test the backlights strips with a 9V battery, a LED and 2 probe needles. First, I removed each led strip and tested with each led of the strip individually. In all leds of all strips, the Test Led turned on (full brightness) but the led itself didn´t. With the led strip back in place on the led interface, I performed the test like you (minute 7:34), none of the stripe´s Leds turned on and the Test Led turns on 4 stripes (last 1 off) but with a diminished brightness, almost none. With this info, can you tell me which part to replace (because I´m complety on the dark...). I apologize for the long comment and I would appreciate very much if you are able to give some tips.

[@stantheman6411]

[@YosiOren]

hi, got an LG 55 TV. the backlight turns off while viewing. if I shut down the TV and turn it on it will resume viewing and after a while turn off again ( I did flash light test) if I lower the backlight to about 30 and turn on ECO mode to maximum then it will last longer but eventually turn off. then I need to wait for a while to let it cool down. at this settings it is hard to view the tv unless at night when room is not so light. do you think the problem is with the led strips or the board ?

[@gregcollins3404]

Nice repair video. Between all the labor doing surgery on a TV panel (which was never intended to be serviced), the cost of buying all the LEDs (and finding the right ones), and the risk of it failing again (because the manufacturer under-designed the back-lighting circuit) - do you find it worthwhile to do this as a business?

[@laf213]

will just one failed LED in a strip cause the entire screen to go dark, or would it require multiple failed LED's to cause the dark screen?

[@TampaTec]

Lewis A Fergusson yes

[@FlabberQuestion]

Incorrect, 1 failed LED in a strip and 53 working LEDS (from the 54 total for example) will not trigger the safe mode. You need more failed LEDS for this to happen.

[@whitcwa]

I t depends on the failure mode and the TV. If an LED fails shorted, the others can stay lit. If it fails open, all the LEDs in series with it will go out. My TV has two LED circuits. One has 22 LEDs in 4 strips and the other has 33 in 6 strips. Half of the strips have 5 LEDs, and the others have 6 LEDs. If any strip is unplugged, ALL 55 LEDs go out. The ones in the intact strips blink very briefly every few seconds. My problem is an intermittent failure, so I can't tell which one of the 55 is bad. I'm going to replace them all.

it's really great to watch you every step of the way I have a Black point curve smart tv and everything you said I could see it through on my tv like it's the same one as yours, it's really helpful appreciate it even though I don't have any tester or led strips it was really helpful appreciate it thanks

[@randomvideosn0where]

Probably not economically worth fixing, but if you enjoy doing it I guess it's good for a couple bucks.

[@jody537]

That depends on the size of the TV and how new it is. It would cost me $800 to replace my TV whereas I can fix it (including the voltage/backlight tester) for about $150. If I had already had the testers on hand it would be much much cheaper. That's a heck of a lot better than $800 to replace or several hundred to have it repaired. I have only 1 local tv repair place and they charge $100 just to diagnose the problem.

A lot of you think this repair wasn`t worth the trouble and i agree but only because of the size of the tv. if this tv was 60 inch or larger it would be worth it because people are willing to pay $250 to $300.00 to have it repaired depending on the model and year of course.

And once I went over there, it too stabilized at 16.2V. Reassembled it. (sigh??) Tried replacing power board with part from "Encompass," LG official distributor. Turned it on, same three blinks of standby light, then off. I sent it back. I replaced the two long 450V 68uF capacitors, that had little white hairs on the legs, and a slight burn looking spot on back, with good ones. IT didn't work. So I checked voltages through the cable with tester--outside leads showed 64.8 (multiple of 16.2, in series I guess), I got the same 64.8 on the inside two, but the middle one showed a fluctuating 32.4 much like the one I initially tested. So, back to replacing those, do you think? Could it be something else--does that little harness going down the middle (not circuit boards like I've seen on a lot of videos) have developed a short? Do the LED lights sometimes work, but are they still flawed? I don't move the TV much at all, ever.

how many voltage did you injected into the led strips on the probe pads at 7:34 ?
