    Re: LED strip tester. Make or buy ?

    I use a 60 volt variable bench supply with current limit set for testing strips, that said I recently purchased a LED Back-light Test Tool. While it generally does what it says on the tin and is works to a point I have found as mentioned above that in some cases it fails to develop enough current to adequately test led's. When the next screen repair comes in I will take a look and see what kind of current it develops and report findings.

        I think you will find about 30ma
        I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

            Slightly off topic but closely related,what's every bodies method of removing the panel safely? Got a few 60" and a 55" curved that need backlight work but I avoided them till now in fear of cracking the panel

                Finding the wrong part at a loooong led strip, part works fine, part flickers, all parallel...

                Hi There!
                I'm trying to help my friend who owns a restaurant be just bought.
                He has a very long LED strip running along all the walls and columns. The strip is attached facing down 2in above the floor, using a wall panel that ends in a metal rail that finishes the panel underneath
                It's stuck using, I guess, the 2 sided tape that comes with the strip
                The issue is that like 1/2 of the full length, including 1/2 one wall, another entire wall, and one column, flickers after 4 or 5 minutes ON. Particularly it flashes staying OFF most of the time and flashing ON for 1 tenth...

                220v Led strip flickering
                by adelage
                Hi, I am installing a long led strip and I noticed that it frequently flickers slightly, it is not a strong nor regular thing, but it is noticeable and annoying. I have measured the voltage of the mains and it shows some fluctuations, it normally stays at around 226v, but often (every few seconds) drops down to 218/219v), and the flickering happens exactly at the same time. I have measured this at the counter and with every appliance off, so it's not related to the house electrical system, but that's how it comes from the supplier.
                I know that the best solution would be to get a voltage...

                Adjustable dc power supply and tcl led strip
                by benareeno
                I wonder if i shorted the whole strip...where to put pos and neg to just light up a single diode...or the entire strip. The strip lit for a second...so maybe i fried it? What say you?


                I have an adjustable dc power supply and was trying around 9 volts.

                I have a pic of a single diode...where to put pos and neg terminals to light it up?

                Pic of middle of strip..is this where i light the entire strip?

                And pic of end...or does this light the entire strip?

                Where to put pos and neg for single diode..multiple diodes and the entire...

                Need help replacing led strip on Iiyama Prolite XUB2390HS monitor
                by mikey5791
                Hi,
                Got this working ips led monitor by the brand of
                Iiyama Prolite XUB2390HS presumably a 23 inch type given to me with suspected bad led backlight. To test it, i unplugged the bad flat ribbon type connector and plugged it a good flat ribbon led connector scrapped from a HP Pavillion 27cw (led strip with 60 led). Good news is the HP led strip lights up but not fully, in between there are about 15 unlit leds.(as picture attached shows).

                Fyi, i had not opened and removed the old bad led strip. My question is whether is it possible to cut some of the extra leds(say...

                Trying to troubleshoot DDR4 SODIMM slot with slot tester
                by Lifeisfun
                Hi folks!
                I have some kind of memory problem on Lenovo laptop. I was initially able to install windows after several tries since the laptop did freeze in middle of those attempts.
                Eventually I discovered that it was related to moving the laptop.
                Later on it even stopped booting unless I pressed around the memory slot. (no keyboard LEDs only power button responds)
                If I remove the RAM I get the beeps that RAM is missing. Inserting the RAM there is silence and it will not boot most of the time. No picture.

                I removed the board got one of those memory slot testers...
