    Backlight Lamps, Parts, Etc.

    What's the best place to get backlight lamps? Ebay? Some other site? Clue me in on where the most cost effective and quality cfl's are. Also any ideas on where you guys get parts. ie, caps transformers etc.

    I currently get caps from digikey, but have looked at mouser and mcm.

    Thoughts?

    ccflwarehouse.com is a good source for lamps. eBay for transformers and obsolete mosfets.

        i'm sure someone told me they charge $$$$ for stuff.
        - yep, just looked.
        fuck-me that place is expensive! a tv could cost less than a set of tubes!!!

        i shop here:
        http://stores.ebay.com/lcd-led-parts

        and where possible, i buy the led conversion kit.

          how do you typically retrofit the led conversion kit. where do you connect it to the existing boards?

            you take the ally chanels out with the tubes in, remove the tubes and any crap like rubber spacers,
            then put the strips in with double-sided tape or heatproof glue.

            then if you have a seperate invertor,
            you replace it with the new one.
            it needs 10-30v, a "turn-on" signal, and an optional "dimming" signal.
            all this should be on the original invertor connector.

            if it's a combined psu/invertor then you have to isolate the invertor section and tap the signals.
            i'v done some LG's like this and it's simple.
            first i remove the driver chip so it wont send any fault-codes.
            then i remove the fets,transformers,caps & connectors.
            you dont need to do that - but it creates a space just the right size to slap the new invertor on with double-sided foam tape.

            unfortunatly, the kits only go upto about 24" i think - i'd have to check.
            and they are only for edge-lit.

            so if you have a power hungry bastard with an array of tubes behind it, you have to find another solution.
            a friend of mine does those using reels of led-strip.

              UN65TU700DF picture and sound but no backlight. BL tests ok but repl. PSU didnt fix!
              by triplefour
              this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
              i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
              unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
              according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

              Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
              by DanPoka
              I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
              Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
              This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...

              No Backlight Macbook A1990 820-01041
              by Comp_Pro
              Hello all,

              Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

              Tests performed:

              There is no backlight even with a good screen.
              Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
              Fuse F8400 ok
              Current sense resistor R8400 ok
              Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
              Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
              Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
              Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
              I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure...

              iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
              by cheebster
              Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
              Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
              Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
              The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
              Anyone...

              LG Flatron 24EN33TA No Backlight When Cold
              by canadaboy25
              Hi all,

              I've got an LG Flatron 24EN33TA with a backlight issue. The problem began with the monitor not powering up after sitting for a long time (overnight or during the day throughout work). When I would wake the computer up, the backlight would flick on for a second then go out. Sometimes it would take many tries to get it to come on. Once the monitor came on, it worked flawlessly until another long duration of being powered off.

              I thought the problem would be bad caps but I checked both of the caps on the board and they are fine. I also tried powering the monitor from...
