Nice work. And thank you for not blasting stupid music at me.

your fault search/solve technique is very genuine and authentic because its long term solution, not this other under handed thumbsucking crapy solution thanks

turning the backlight down fixed it for me. wow merçi beaucoup

I open up tv and check all the led. There are all fine. Did this means i have to change new main board?

good job ! what about button thin horizontal line and bad color with double image? some tech talk about T-CON and cutting ckv1,ckvb1... it is true the cutting can solve the problem ? (kdl40-R470b with lsy400hm03-a02 panel )

Very helpful.

Replacing a single LED causes the TV to come back with the same fault after a few months. Only replacement of all LED strips with new ones guarantees success.

Sorry, this is wrong. It is true that all the other LEDs were subjected to the same high current that caused some of them to fail. However, you can replace single LEDs if you lower the average current afterwards for all LEDs. I did this a lot of times and it works without problems (and without returns). The best option is to lower it on the driver PCB itself, usually by increasing the current sense resistor. Second best option is to do it via the menu (backlight), but you have to make sure to lower it for all sources and disable options that change the backlight setting dynamically.

Good job sir thanks a lot

idea: make tv with two sets of led strips, one inactive, other active, as seems there is enough space. On the back, have switch between primary and secondary lights. Once it fails after 4 years, press switch, boom, 4 more years of use.

What voltage do you apply to check the leds?

@tomtechtod9200

2 жыл бұрын

For 3V LEDs it's about 2.6. For 6V LEDs about 5.4. (per LED). Always start at low voltage and increase slowly.

check the smd resistors around the LED driver chip, I've seen them getting too hot and either be defective or their solder joints are bad. the LED driver chip could then detect an open circuit and shut off. the problem can be elsewhere though as well

Hi. I have a Sony kdl-75w850c. One led was defektive which resulted in 7x blink so I replaced it. The Tv worked but I got a new issue. Half of the screen is darker the the other. The new led shines brighter than the old ones although it is 3 volts like the other leds. It is located in the middle of the upper side of the screen. The right half is darker. Is the new led comsuptioning much power which leads to shortage of voltage in the right side of the screen?

There are a lot of varieties of LED strips. When I suspect the LEDs I disassemble the TV and check what LED exctly they are using. Mostly it's 3V nominal voltage per LED sometimes 6V. They come in all sorts of formats. To find the number of a LED strip before disassembly you could try Shopjimmy or eBay, but I woouldn't rely 100% on that. Buying LEDs, measure nominal voltage of an intact LED, measure package size with a caliper, then go to Aliexpress or eBay, search for "backlight LED TV (voltage 3V or 6V) (package). Pay attention to anode cathode size , sometimes anode is the larger pad.

I find that it happens when watching a movie that has dark scenes from a channel like HBO or Cinemax from the HDMI input from cable box or an Android movie app Iflix . I can watch a channel like CNN or the Android KZread app all day with no problem. I called the Sony repair here in Jakarta Indonesia, they said would have to replace the main screen, but no stock.
