Wear sunglasses and look again for any out. 4 blinks did say led driver board, very curious to see results here

Yeah, I did. Some LEDs seem broken I guess??

buy 4 new strips from china

Thank you for the link! I think you are correct. I took a picture up close. I see some dark shadows. Throughout each strip! So that means LEDs are bad, right? (I marked one shadow in blue.)

how it come all working..??? compare the photo of the first post.... where the black shadow and check carefully.. you may yours eyes blinded by the light

[tec3000]

LOL. OK, that makes sense

1) which is why it's called edge lit. Only on the sides.

[tec3000]

this is look like air between the LCD and the front glass. .. don't bother with it right now. complete the access to LED strips

SO GUYS.... I was finally able to remove everything. I'm a bit surprised.

1) I only see LEDs on each side of the TV. Nowhere else. Nothing in the center... Is that expected? Or do I still need to remove more?

2) ALL LEDS ARE WORKING. At first. Then they go off block by block.

So do I have a LED problem...OR NOT?

BTW: I also attached a lower resolution version (30%).

It wasn't on the sofa. It was on the ground. However, I put a soft gym mat under it. It didn't cover the entire panel, so I was able to move it around as needed. I'm thinking maybe it happened while I turned it every now and then... Just a theory.,

[Davi.p]

was the sitting surface really flat? maybe the valley between sofa elements... hoping that remounting it is barely noticeable..

[tec3000]

I see. You mean flat. That's how it was over the weekend and those air bubbles emerged all of a sudden. Weird right...

[Davi.p]

so, the front side face down, better..

[tec3000]

yeah, no worries. I have uploaded a smaller pic.

So should I move the front that's on the sofa or no need?

[Davi.p]

Please.. 8000x6000 pics are way too much.. my pc goes nuts.. scale down them..
i can only view the reduced versions.. obviously this is a model with front covering glass with flat surface finish that inglobates speakers.. the way you put it on the sofa is wrong, must be front faced down.. so it doesnt unglue the real LCD.. actually front piece is maybe plastic and lcd is havier weight glass

Those holes are just placeholders for the speakers beneath. I had uploaded pics of my TV but here someone else's set where you can see what it looks like from the front. (Pic 1)

And I have circled the area with the panel issue. The glass is not broken or anything. It's somehow beneath the coating. Really not sure how it happened and what it is? (Pic 2)

[EazyBone]

What am I looking at. What are these holes on the black thing?

And where is picture of panel damage. If you effed the screen I wouldn't proceed no. I would still break it down to the LEDs and have a look and then put it all back together again as some practice. Do it as if you didn't damage the panel so you can learn.

Happy Easter guys!

I was able to remove the frame from the back of the TV. My TV is a bit different though. I couldn't even use the suction cups. I simply took out the entire back out of the frame. Tomorrow I will get down to the LEDs. But I plugged in the TV and indeed half of the screen turned dark. So it's confirmed!


It's not all good news though. No idea when and how but I did some harm to the top of the panel.

No idea what the real world implications are going to be. I guess the i-Manual will give me an idea what I can expect from the TV from now on. I'll definitely assemble everything back and have a look.

Looks bad guys, right? I know I messed up but I still want to buy the LEDs. Should I go ahead?
