      Ah ok having read the thread again I think the advice is to strip it down to the panel and check if they're burnt and also to get the codes for the LED's before ordering them.

      I'm going to buy suction cups next week and will strip it down Saturday/Sunday night at work.

      Thanks again one and all.

        Your going to find the diffuser is marked cos if your strip has been working with a faulty LED, the others will have been running hotter than normal. If you have enough room to store the dismantled set, Id get the suction cups and dismantle before buying strips so you can check diffuser. If you dont want to buy cups, try siding a large piece of cardboard below screen and lift it that way. Luckily I have a seller 20mls away and I can run up and get the strips for a quick turnaround. Check CGTV on ebay.

          Thanks for the advice.

          At the moment it’s got its back panel off and is stashed at work on the top deck of the stores. I’m buying suction cups on Thursday and will start stripping it down Saturday night. I’ve already ordered the LED strips Sonys advised me to. They’re on a slow boat from china so will be here in a couple of weeks.

          If the diffuser is burnt/scorched will that need replacing too? They must be pretty cheap surely? I dont imagine they have a part id so must be readily available from lots of places?

              We have a result.

              The process of stripping it down was easier than I thought and with the help of another lad at work we had it down to chassis in an hour or so. As soon as we revealed the LED strips it was clear there was an issue with one of them fractured from
              It's rail. Swapped the pair of strips, built back up and it's good to go!

              Chuffed to bits with myself. And thanks to sonys and Diah for the help!

                Samsung Series 9 - BIOS issue
                by Kjell
                After installing Linux, I can no longer enter the BIOS of my Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3C) laptop. When pressing [F2] during boot I simply get a black screen. Same thing when pressing [F10] and choosing "Setup" from the "App Menu" tab. Apparently this is a relatively common issue with Samsung laptops of that generation, but unfortunately i haven't been able to resolve the issue (yet).

                Things i've tried so far; reinstalled Windows 10, checked for redundant boot entries, tried to factory reset using the emergency keyhole, attempted to clear the NVRAM by physically...

                Samsung DM32D – Red LED blinks 5 times, won’t start (possible mainboard issue)
                by Nairolf
                Hello,

                I have a Samsung DM32D display.
                When I try to power it on, the red LED blinks 5 times and nothing happens—the unit won’t start.

                Here’s what I have tried so far:
                1. Disconnected the cable between the mainboard and the power supply → the backlight turns on.
                2. Disconnected the main T-CON ribbon cable → same issue as before, the LED still blinks 5 times.
                3. Disconnected one of the two T-CON ribbons to the panel (tested each one separately) → same issue, the LED blinks 5 times.

                From these tests, I suspect the problem might be on the mainboard. Could anyone...

                Samsung SyncMaster 740n Phase Control Issue
                by vincentedel
                Hello,
                I'm having an issue with the Samsung 740n's phase control setting. When I use the automatic adjustment, it sets the value to around 54 (with a range of 0-100), and the picture looks clear and sharp. However, after some time—like after playing a game—the text starts to look blurry. When I auto-adjust again, it may increase the value to 80, and everything becomes sharp once more. Yet, after a while, whether it's a few hours or a day later, the same blurriness returns, and I have to adjust it again.

                I'm using the Samsung 740n monitor drivers instead of the default plug-and-play...

                QE65Q800TATXXC Samsung TV Issue
                by Manucsl
                Hello.

                My TV is a QE65Q800TATXXC Samsung TV.

                Issue : When you plug the 220V, voltages are OK on the power board and you can hear the click from the relay, but TV is not starting when power button is pressed. Red led is blinking when you press power button. But no images or sound ( Back-light is off )
                Then if you disconnect the cable from the main board to the power supply, the TV back-light turns on.
                Any ideas to check would be very appreciated 😊

                After reading some posts on this forum, I suspect an eeprom issue so I bought a CH341A to dump...
