TV is LG 42LE5300-UC AUSWLUR with power supply EAY60803201, LED driver board YP4247LPB and main EBU60981905.
When you turn the TV on (with remote or button) PSU relay clicks on, back-lights turn on 2 seconds after that as well as LG welcome screen. After 3 seconds back-lights turn off, but the panel is still on when checking with flashlight test and power supply remains on until turned off by pressing he power button again.
I have taken the panel and filters off to inspect the LED's themselves. It is an edge-lit TV. All LED's turn on with uniformed intensity, none are off or look bad. I have noticed that few LED's have a little glow to them. The glow starts when the set is turned on for those initial 2 seconds, then LED's come fully on, and then they turn completely off after 3 seconds, no glow at the end. I did take a picture of it, but it is hard to see.
I have bypassed the main board as well, just to be sure, be removing the cable that leads to main board from PSU. I have jumped the '3.5V' pin with 'Power ON' and 'DRV On' pins on the PSU. Same problem as before.
Caps look OK and diodes read OK on the PSU. Moving to LED driver board. I do get a 3.3V on the 'ERROR' pin when the back-lights turn off. 'DRV ON' pin remains at 3.0V at all times when PSU is on. There are 13 mosfets on the LED driver board. When the relay click on, the output voltage spikes to about 36V (I have no min/max) and immediately starts to drop until back-lights come on, then they read 0V. After back-lights turn off, the voltage again spikes to about 36V and settles anywhere from 9.2V to 10.8V on various mosfets. The V1+ through V4+ continually read 98.9V when back-lights are off or 105.5V when they are on.
DRV ON reads steady 3.0V at all times. PWM_DIM reads 3.2V when relay clicks on and when LED's are on. After the LED's turn off, the voltage gradually drops to 2.5V and then gradually picks back up to 3.2V. This "dip" happens after the LED's turn off and takes about 2 second to go from 3.2V to 2.5V and back to 3.2V.
Any thoughts on what is wrong?
Could this still be defective LED strips in some way that is not visible?
Thanks for the input
