Vizio P552ui-B2 Backlight Diodes

[per4manz]

Have a Vizio P552ui-B2 that is starting loose backlight diodes. While I know I can get a hold of used strips, I would rather replace the diodes directly instead of used strips that will likely also start to fall quickly requiring me to tear the TV apart repeatedly to repair it.

With that being said, does anyone know what voltage and diode package are on the strip for said TV? The strip model number is WT-EL-55UHD-A-V3. Again, I also don't want tear the TV apart in and attempt to see if I can find out this info.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure I follow. Do you mean buy new strips or diodes?

Wish I could find new strips as I would get them, but this TV was purchased in 2014/15 and I can't find new parts for it anymore. That's why I was asking about the diode voltage and package type so I can just order enough to replace every single diode while I have it open.

I don't mind taking it apart but also don't want to repeatedly if I can avoid it.

I appreciate that. It's strange that this seller is in the US, yet the item for sale is listed only on the UK Ebay site.

Thank you. I have come across that in my searches. However, "Please Read Before Purchasing:TvPartsGuy.com is a Tech to Tech sales company.

Thus, I could get a set and have one of the LEDs burn out quickly and be back in the same boat I am in. That is why I am trying to find the specs on the individual LEDs (package, voltage, color temp). If I can get those without opening the TV I can order enough to replace every single one after I open it up. ShopJimmy has some good videos about this and I have the equipment to do it.

I wouldn’t waste so much time worrying about leds burning out again. Usually the processor on the main board fail on this TV. Most likely that will go bad before leds so again

The leds can burn out one right after the other, which makes sense since they are all the same age, do you really want to be tearing it down every week, I would get a whole set, from a trusted seller on ebay or aliexpress, replace and turn the backlights down as far as tolerable AND get yourself a fan blowing on that processor, it should last a lot longer than without one.
