    I fixed this 2/6/2016, the connector for the LED strip PCB just came off the solder pads.

        How did you open the LCD ? I've try to get to those parts and it's very difficult. Do you have a Guide?

          No specific instructs but they are all very similar and do not mix up the order of the diffuser sheets.
          Here are many videos on the subject.

              you might be best off starting a new thread on your tv.

              you will need pics of the rear, without the back cover on and pics of each board and it will start things off quickly if you can also list the voltages on the wiring connector that runs to the main board.

              list it as
              pin no, pin desc, v in stby, v when powered on.





              we can then start guiding you where to look and what to test.

                  I came across one of these too. Had the image on the screen if the flashlight was shining on it. I opened up the panel as you suggested, and two of those connectors linking the LED strips fell off in my hand.
                  Resoldered them, got it back together, and it lights up!

                  See, I do search here before posting a question. :-)

                  Thanks again.

                    No LCD image after connector replacement – lifted components and damaged resistor (Nintendo Switch Lite HDH-CPU-02)
                    by Tomylee
                    Hi everyone,

                    Sorry for the person who’s going to read all this !
                    I'm on a Nintendo Switch Lite, motherboard HDH-CPU-02.

                    While replacing the left joystick, I had to remove the motherboard to access the connector underneath. When I lifted the LCD connector latch, it broke (the plastic had become brittle over time), so I replaced the entire connector.

                    During the desoldering of the LCD connector using hot air, three small components located just below the connector (likely 0402 capacitors) came off and remained stuck to the bottom of the...

                    LG UH8500 Backlight Troubleshooting Help
                    by htv239
                    Hello,

                    I am currently troubleshooting an LG 60UH8500 TV (2016 TV). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

                    Overall Issue: When TV is turned on, backlights all come on for about 10 seconds, then all go out. There is sound and there is a picture on the display (obviously hard to see without backlights, but it is there).

                    What I Have Done So Far: 1) Removed the back TV cover to expose the boards (Power Supply, Tcon, and Main), 2) blew out any dust and cleaned all connections, 3) Noticed that the LED backlights are fed from two separate connectors...

                    Help identifying connector for ASUS 4090 Strix RGB LED connector
                    by 5mall5nail5
                    Hi All -

                    I had replaced my ASUS 4090 Strix cooler with a waterblock and put the stock cooler on the shelf. Was moving it and snagged my sweater on the connector and pulled the wires out of the pins on the RGB connector. I tried to get them back on but its too small so I opened the stamped pins and tried to solder but its not a good repair and the wire broke on reinstallation.

                    Looking to replace the connector on the cable side and get pins to crimp onto a new cable. Bought random JST and such but nothing is correct. Can anyone help identify the connector and possibly matching...
