    Grundig 39 WCP 2014 BRS. Bad BL, hack or fix?

    Hi! I was given this TV. It would turn on fine but then after a while the BL would shut off while rest of functions would stay working. I assume this 99% means a shortcut in the BL so the PS detects the overcurrent and shuts off the BL pwr.
    I managed to keep it up for the time enough to enter into settings and turn down the backlight to 50% which seemed to help. I was able to watch it for some hours several days

    But the other day, I went to try it and the BL didn't even start at boot up. I want to repair it but: This is a spare TV that I want to keep at a house that I seldom go, just some weekends over the year
    First, I tried to find LED STRIPS for thiis model on my regular website, which is Aliexpress... and nothing showed up. Does anyone know of a compatible TV that I can use for search string? Or the specific model of led strips used?
    Also, provided this is a TV that I would keep for myself and I seldom use it, what if I add a series resistor or even an additional LED in the PS BL output to reduce the measured current? I just need it to work...

    Thanks

          Grundig 40VLE7131BF led strips doesn't light up
          by h4rdw4re
          Hi guys,
          I have one very old TV.
          Main problem I have with this tv is that led strips won't light.
          I measured voltage levels, and inverter input is 24V.
          other voltages are also ok.
          What I found is that removing and connecting again connector CN1 led strips lights for shorts time (but only once). When led strips lights up then light is uniformly spread on whole panel.
          First I thought that led strips are dead, but I'm quite sure that problem is not strips related.
          I don't know what voltage level is at output of inverter board (samsung SSL400_3E2A) and how...

          LED problem on samsung UE55F6475, 2 strips work. The rest is flashing every second.
          by Kingfreddie
          Ok.. this is the story:
          Have an old Samsung LED 3D TV (UE55F6475). First it started to lose light on the lower 40% of the screen now and then. Like for 10-60 mins and then it would work again. Then a bit later it just got stuck in that position. The lower 40% of the screen is dark, and it gets progressively darker the lower u go so it's obviously that LED strips where not working. I also looked for similar errors online and saw an exact copy and on that one it was faulty LED strips.

          This is kinda how it looked, just that mine were at the bottom of the screen:

          Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
          by LEECH666
          Good day ladies and gentleman!

          I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

          This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

          I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

          Help findinf LED strips for TDSystems K32DLT1H
          by edugimeno
          Hi There!
          I bought a broken 32" TV today. It has sound but no image. I checked with a flashlight and it was missing backlight
          Disassembled down to the led strips and found this TV has been serviced before. Not sure if it was fixed, worked again for some time, and broke again, or maybe last repair wasn't successful

          Looks like on previous repair, the center LED strip was replaced with a different model, 7 leds in it instead of 8, but when checking LEDS one by one, leds on the center strip were brighter with same test voltage (multimeter in DIODE mode) so maybe the...

          What to do with bad LED strips?
          by eccerr0r
          I suspect a lot of you have done a lot of repairs and end up with a lot of bad LED strips...what do you do with them?

          Wonder if I should get a pile of LED chips and try to replace the bad units for the heck of it, but I don't really need the strips at the moment because I bought the strips...

          Oh... and I think I got my TV working again, though not 100% I don't think, on a white screen I can see a bit of the ghost of the LED strips, must have done something wrong or the LED strips aren't quite the same as the original...
