That looks nasty. And you thought Samsung were the only ones having trouble with fires...

Ha!

Even after 80 odd years--They Still Cant make a TV set--That doesn't catch fire!

--Such nonsense should be a thing of the distant thermionic past!

--Make 'em for nowt, pile 'em up high, sell 'em cheap with no longevity--who cares if down the road it buggers up someone's whole day, We'll sell ya Yet Another Turd!

We once had a toaster oven catch fire from the control unit while it was off. We contacted GE, they sent some one to our house to pick it up, they dropped off their best Toaster oven they make free of charge and refunded us the full retail price of the unit that caught fire. And it was 3 years old.

Some companies take this stuff serious, not sure if LG does but might give them a ring?

Re: LG 50ln5700 led strip fire photos

so what am i seeing, the pcb shorting against the backplate, or arcing between the tracks on the board?
it's very uniform along the length!

Re: LG 50ln5700 led strip fire photos

I guess there is no shortage on these catching fire... there are a few threads about the exact same thing in this forum.

Re: LG 50ln5700 led strip fire photos

It seems to be shorting the return trace out which is why thats burning up. Very odd.

One LED failing short circuit in a series chain causing other LEDs to fail catastrophically and then leading to the array basically being a short across the power board output would be my guess.

The psb is only putting out 76.1v now. the legend states 110.v to LED, they just flash at boot. ideas?

Driver Ic return probably damaged due to shorted/burnt string.
