The new set of the LED may have bad solder joints on the connector pins that join the two strip together.
Glad to see it is working.

Oh wow, can't believe I found a thread about the same exact model TV, and with a very similar problem... and people who actually seem to know what they're talking about

My situation: a TV at a friend's house died a week ago. Hitachi LE55A6R9 LCD TV, powers on, switches inputs/sources, and there is an image on the screen if I shine a flashlight onto it. But the LCD backlight is dead, all black.

I have a digital multimeter, and a soldering iron, and know how to desolder / solder in basic electronic components. But I have no clue which components are responsible for this failure. Also, I'm willing to order replacement parts, but I don't know which parts to order. (I'm not there to keep messing around with additional tests).

Not really looking to make this a complicated project, just doing a favor for a friend who's on a limited budget and doesn't want to throw out a $ 600 TV.

So, in a situation like this, where the backlight is totally dead - what should I look for as far as replacement parts? Either an entire board, or solderable components? (I doubt I can replace SMD devices, but standard solder connections shouldn't be a problem).

Also, if it's a matter of replacing individual components, I'd really appreciate any heads-up about potentially dangerous capacitors...

Any advice would be much appreciated!

In a dark room do backlights flash on when first powered on?
