You can trick it with a simple jumper if that's your goal.

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

Any one tryed to bypass the led with a resister to trick the tv to startup
I know the light output will be less

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

Sorry to hear that. I wouldn't necessarily part it out yet, just keep an eye for a drop-in replacement strip. Or like in my case any from the same series (and same size) can be used with a little rewiring - no need to touch the leds if they are good.

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

Well I finally gave up on the set. The LED stip had 19 bad leds. I replaced 8 of them but the board was looking bad from removing the LEDs. It just took so much heat to remove the old LEDs that the traces that jumper the series LEDs come off and using wire wrap jumpers was not pretty. The ciruit was unreliable as it was but with all the jumpers and heat to rmove the LEDs thermal glue was too hard on the strip. With that much work and issues of unreliability I called it quits. If I ever get another one of the sets in and the problem is not the LEDs then I can get a current measurement to figure resistance of the proper load. The DigiKey leds STW8Q14BE-U0U7-BA woroked but were not as bright as the original using meter diode test.

Well lucky me. I found another tv same model but guy is 2 hours away. Looks like I'm going on a road trip. Lol. For 50 bucks has cracked screen but still works

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

Difficulty with matching colour balance and brightness, along with the number of LEDs and rated current. If it did work, the picture would probably look off in one corner...

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

Wonder if an led strip from another tv would work? Like just splice the wires and wire them in or something?

[CoryDavis]

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

Ok gotcha. Well I get off work at 2:30 today and gonna start working on the TV again. Hopefully I can get it goin. What stores carry thermal glue?

[mmartell]

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

I think that's for heat transfer. I used thermal glue there to keep the led in place and facilitate led cooling.

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

I have a hot air soldering station. But they are tricky to solder. It has the 4 prongs on end of led. IN the middle of led, does that have to be soldered also?

[mmartell]

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

Still trying to find the best way to install them. How did you do it ?

[CoryDavis]

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

Well I had an issue where an led actually fell off the strip. Put it back on and tv worked for a few minutes and went back out. Gonna take it back apart and see what I can do. Is there a trick to soldering these. They are kind of difficult

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

Ok lmk when you get the led from digi and let me know if it works

That would be user LTank who's here somewhere.

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

In my case it is and always was open leds in the backlight array.

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

i just read the whole post
so was the issue one problem after the other
or the backlight problem all along
ive got a ua40d5500 doing the same thing
b5v turning off and on

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

For aquariums and outdoor lighting and such ? Not likely.

First you have to make sure the current draw and voltage requirements are same for the output of your power supply. Then there are space requirements that can not be exceeded. Then there are possible colour temp issues and/or possible heat related problems.

I would think there are a whole host of things needing to be overcome to customize the backlight system.

[CoryDavis]

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

can you use one of the led strips you can buy online? like the aftermarket ones?

[CoryDavis]

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

Ok thank you. I have half of the right side burnt out and one completely fell off the strip. Lol

Re: UN55D6000 Blinking Standby Light

I just ordered STW8Q14BE from DigiKey p/n STW8Q14BE-U0U7-BA 69 cents each.
I have noy received them yet but from my check it should work. Seoul Acrich series LED
The best way I found through experimentation in removing them with the least amount of damage to the strip was to cut them in half with small pointed Xcelite MS54-9J cutters then unsolder the leads. A small exacto knife is used to help lift the cut halfs from the strip when unsoldering. Then use a Flux solvent remover to clean the strip.
I know of no one that has them. I have seen them posted in the past.
