    Question about UE60JU6800K backlight power.

    Hi all,

    got my hands on a Samsung UE60JU6800K, initially it apparently had a bunch of white circles on screen which I confirmed was due to loose diffusers when I opened the set up and found a mountain of them at the bottom. The person I got if from stored the TV unused for a lengthy period after this so when I got it the backlight was completely gone. I took out the strips and almost all of the LED's have a crack on the yellow phosphor form the center of the LED outward, the ones that don't have this crack seem to work still (Maybe due to humidity after a long period?). Anyways I went ahead and ordered a new strip but In the meantime I'd like to confirm that the power board for the TV (BN44-00860A) is supplying the correct backlight voltages to ensure that it didn't fry the strip. The board has an Input/Output table for voltages which I'll include as an attachment, the backlight output section contains 2D and 3D which I have no idea what they could be. The two filter capacitors next to the BLU SMPS out have 320VDC on them with no strip attached and the voltage starts to drop slowly until a faint click is heard and the voltage shoots back up to 320VDC and I have checked all surrounding FETs and Diodes, as for output on CH1 and CH2, there is only 1.2VDC after power on, now I know most TV's shut off their BLU output if they do not find a strip, but I'm interested in how this happens, does the power board signal to the main board which turns of it's BLU_ON pin? Is it possible for me to enable the output without a strip attached by forcing the BLU_ON high or will that damage something?

    Thanks in advance!

    On a Samsung power supply board like this the BLon is pulled automatically high due to a pull up resistor forcing the backlight on when there is no main board attached to the power supply.
    We used to “force” the backlight or the main board on by taking something around 1k resistor and wire it for example between stby and BLon also maybe the DIM pin, etc. But like I said before, that’s not needed anymore if you just power the PSU up by itself on this model. You get the 320V reading because you don’t have any backlights attached to the main board. On top of that the backlight is current controlled, not voltage controlled.

      The backlight is monitored and controlled by a controller (led driver) and if the backlight is faulty or absent (no load), the controller blocks the output voltage...

          Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
          Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
          by Tynan Dill
          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

          Assuming...

          Problem

          This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

          NEWSYNC B27F165 MONITOR HAS NO BACKLIGHT. board no: JY85QS_UPH_LS_R10.3
          by Zilicon
          Greetings everyone.
          Please I need help with the above monitor.

          Below is the summary of what happened and what I have done:

          The monitor started by turning off 2 seconds after it was turned on. It displayed with a backlight when it turned on. However, the standby light remains on after it is turned off on its own, I have to press the power button again to turn it on, but it will go back to standby after 2 seconds.

          The backlight driver IC is 0b3350cp.

          I applied a 370k SMD resistor on the CMP pin which is pin 6, while the other...

          A2442 - new logic board from Apple Self Repair now no backlight
          by AKuchen87
          Hi there. I am currently trying to figure out if I am undergoing the sunk cost fallacy.

          I’ve bought a very cheap MacBook Pro 14 A2442 off eBay. I did some checking and the symptoms were pointing towards a NAND failure.

          After some consideration I got an original logic board from Apple as an replacement. However after installing I have no backlight.

          I can see the Apple logo if I point a flashlight at it but the MacBook seems to be going to recovery mode.

          anybody have an idea of what’s up here? Is the board dead on arrival or is my screen...
