    Onn 100012588 backlight issue *Solved 70 inch

    Had another one of these 70 inchers from onn and was same problem as others. The picture shows but no backlight. The backlights test fine. The issue is the 450v 10uf capacitor by the backlight connector. Usually the cap bulges, the cap I replaced today for fix was NOT bulging. Replaced anyway and fixed.

    Hope this helps someone.

    Is this a common thing? My Onn same model number is acting up. It turns on and sometimes it flashes the Onn picture and turns off. I tried hard resets and nothing helped.

      If not able to test caps, just switch those 2 out, be sure the polarity is correct, that's one pretty simple way to either fix it or eliminate them from being the issue.

        To me it's common. Ive had 6 of these and it was always that capacitor in the picture. There's only 1 capacitor also.

        The cap should be slightly bulged, but I have also seen flat ones, and replaced it anyways and that's what worked

        2023 version of this TV, which is same model number, has a cord that is not removable, I've had an issue with main board, but the TV appeared to be dead, so different problem.

        I would be safe to say that yes this is your problem.

            Awesome guys! I wanted the tv up and running fast so I just bought some caps off Amazon. If it acts up again I’ll put in Nichicons, Rubicons, or Panasonics.

              I recently came across this post and the description of the problem was identical to my TV's problem. The backlight will flicker for a quick moment when powering up the TV then stay off. After reading this post, I purchased a new cap and replaced the 450V 10uF capacitor. This didn't solve my issue and the backlight doesn't even flicker when starting up now. I can do several things to light up the LEDs, so I don't believe those to be the issue. What I'm curious about now is that your image shows the capacitor near the cable going from the power board to the main board. That capacitor is 470uF 25V.

              Which one was actually replaced? Any other advice by chance?

                It's the 10uf one. I think I've had 15 of them where it was that capacitor. On one of them it wasn't the capacitor but it was the capacitor AND the backlights.

                What do you mean you can do several things to get the lights to light up? You have an led tester?

                  I don't have an LED tester, but I have noticed the following:
                  With the other boards disconnected from the power board, I can get the LEDs to turn on and stay on if I short the mosfet (source to gate).
                  With the main board connected, shorting the source to gate only turns on the LEDs for a couple seconds.
                  If I ground a digital multimeter to the tv chassis and connect my positive probe to the mosfet gate OR touch it to the top of the capacitor (resistance or diode mode), the LEDs turn on.

                  I am not great with electronics, but I wonder about the mosfet since shorting it lights up the LEDs. From my understanding, with the other boards disconnected, the LEDs should stay on when the TV has power and that doesn't happen.

                    Maybe there is some validity to this method.. but it sounds completely wrong. LEDs can be forced to power on.. it doesn't show that all of them are working it just shows that a bunch are working. I don't think you should be using that method and should be getting an led tester to confirm voltages.

                    When I first got the TV that was the cap and LEDs, I replaced the cap and was excited to see the LEDs turn on.. but they didn't. The cap needed replacing regardless since it was bulging, I never tested the LEDs. I then at that point tested them and found only 2 led was out. Each strand did 96v and 93v indicating one was out.

                    This TV was a absolute PAIN in the ass to change the LEDs as the deflector sheet is glued down with more glue then any TV I've ever seen. The next one I find that has this problem I'm taking the boards out and trashing it.

                    Anyway, not sure what exactly you need to do here except get a led tester and confirm your strips are fine. $15 on Amazon.

                      I was able to look at the screen and use the remote while it was lit up (although it is dim, suggesting LED brightness issues) and I noticed I have a purple bar along the left side of the screen. I'm attaching a picture. It looks like I have more than potentially just power board/LED issues. I'm currently debating my path forward as this potentially just got more complicated and expensive.

                      If I do get the LED tester, I see one of the voltages going to the LEDs is around 340V. The testers I'm looking at for 15-20 dollars only show up to 300V. Will that be an issue?

                      Thanks for all the help and patience.

                        The voltage from the tester will show only Around 96volts for thie tv. If the tester shows 300v then there's a short. It'll show a different voltage then if you tried to test it with multimeter. That bar won't be fixed by led replacement and if I personally saw that I would stop there. Looks like a cof like on the screen is damaged. Take a look at the ribbon on the bottom over there for damage.

                          Thomson 50UD6306 (TCL) Backlight Issue, starts then stops, led changed
                          by Cornito
                          Hello Team,

                          I'm back with another backlight issue that I thought was simple, but it turned out to be more complex than expected.

                          Let me provide a brief history: The TV was working well, then one day, the backlight started and shut down. I thought I had an LED issue leading to this behavior, so I replaced the LEDs with brand new ones. However, the issue remains the same.

                          Next, I replaced the electrolytic capacitors attached to the LED power supply, but the results were the same. I then replaced the driver, a OB3365RP, and did it twice due to the same result....

                          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...

                          TCL 65C715 backlight issue
                          by Cornito
                          Hello team,

                          I'm back with another topic.
                          It's a 65C715 TCL tv with backlight issue.

                          But the problem is a bit strange.
                          When I took this tv from the marketplace backlight didn't work but picture was ok.
                          Back at home I checked with led tester if led are alive and I can find something different in term of voltage supply => nothing

                          Putting all back together the tv worked fine for weeks. => Contact issue??

                          Few moment later the tv has started to have backlight issue back, turning off and on worked sometimes and tv was working....

                          TCL 65S455 backlight Issue Solved
                          by EazyBone
                          I got this TV and it showed a picture with a flashlight. I assumed it was backlights and almost ordered them. I used the led tester and both lines were 132V and lit up. I then check the voltage on the lights and there wasn't any. I looked around a bit and found a shorted Diode.

                          As shown in the picture the diode 3200 read shorted. I ordered a replacement off Amazon and back to working! While searching for the diode I read it could effect other TCLs as well such as the 43 inch.

                          Just helping out of someone needs it. Good luck...

                          Back Story
                          I just recently purchased a RZ09-01652 Razer Blade 14 Touch v4(2016) as a project. I suspect the original motherboard had overheated and caused board damage to the vrm's for the CPU and GPU as now that motherboard works however will lockup on you often due to hardware clock issues.
                          So after some research and looking at options for replacement motherboards I got a replacement RZ09-01952 razer blade 14 motherboard which has the 1060 vs the 970m that was in my original motherboard. I have contacted the seller about the motherboard being bad however I doubt they will be...
