Re: Best glue?

Epoxy would be my first choice for that. That is probably what the original black glue is. If not epoxy, my 2nd choice would be a silicone/RTV type glue. I have never found the cyanoacrylate "super-glues" to be reliable in electronics repair, except in certain specific situations. Not to mention their poor shelf. Once opened, you might as well trow a tube of super glue away if you don't use it up quickly.

Just about any of these would be fine. I really like J-B Weld products from this list.

Epoxies available at Wal-Mart

Re: Best glue?

i would NOT use cyanocrylate or epoxy around anything that gets hot - they do bad things!

look on ebay for thermal glue, it sets like rubber and is sold for holding heatsinks onto chips - it wont be effected by the heat from the led.

Re: Best glue?

The LEDs in a TV do not generate enough heat to affect epoxy performance, except for the very large and extremely powerful LEDs used to drive DLP type TVs. I used to repair the LED backlight assemblies in Sharp TVs, even 70 inch and above. I was part of a team that developed the repair process for their panels. The LEDs never get that hot.
