          Pin configuration of the connectors could pose a problem, also those other leds look much bigger than the original ones, so it's possible that there's a difference in the working voltage of the leds themselves, then there's proper alignment of the led strips to the diffuser's.

          So in other words be VERY careful in attempting this procedure.

              Sure I would. You can also check shopjimmy.com and see if they meet be compatible. But if the connectors fit I would just go for it. Maybe check if one is a three volt and one is a six volt.. but I doubt that's the case

                  Un70TU7000b Backlights work, no picture, has sound, panel shorted caps
                  by EazyBone
                  Picked up this Samsung above thinking it'd be backlights but it isn't. Now MAYBE I'll get lucky.
                  Found some shorted caps among the panel boards. Each cap along the line is shorted. On every board (3 panel driver boards)I disconnect each side right and left ribbons and they are no longer shorted caps and have about 1.5Mohm resistance (on left and right boards). The middle board has the main board disconnected and the caps are shorted. Last 4 pics show arrow to caps.

                  Now what exactly do I need to do in order to attempt to fix this issue?

                  do I have to take each one...

                  ASUS ROG Strix G713QR - Keyboard, backlight and side LEDs don't work
                  by hollox123
                  Hello, I have an "ASUS ROG Strix G713QR" laptop, and for approx. 3 months I have the following problems:

                  1. Laptop keyboard doesn't work
                  2. The backlight on the laptop keyboard doesn't work
                  3. The x2 side LEDs (red) on the laptop don't work

                  The power button works, the touchpad works, and all the USB, HDMI, Ethernet, etc. ports work.

                  I already tried to reinstall all the drivers and reinstall Windows. So I don't know what to try anymore that is software-related.

                  But I am strongly aiming that it is somehow a BIOS-related problem,...

                  lenovo 330s-15ikb, led num lock key always on and numbers don't work
                  by resistor83
                  hello everyone, I have a particular problem with this lenovo ideapad 330s-15ikb. I had to replace the motherboard due to liquid damage, after replacing it I noticed that some letters on the keyboard do not work. So I bought a new keyboard and now all the keys work except the numeric keypad area. In practice the num lock key LED always remains on and the numbers do not work. Has anything like this ever happened to you? I also tried changing the keyboard again but the same defect remains on the numeric keypad.

                  I tried updating the bios but the problem remains

                  VIZIO M557-G0: Backlights or ???
                  by bpcannan
                  'Morning,
                  I get sound and picture when powering on the TV and its stays that EXCEPT that the left half of the screen will dim every few seconds then return to normal while the right side of the screen performs as designed.

                  Did the soft and hard reset options pulling the plug, using the reet option in the vizio menu to no avail.

                  I checked the mainboard - found some popped capacitors so replaced it - but that did not change the situation.

                  I checked the t-con board. It is getting good power. Then I removed one ribbon cable to see if I could isolate...

                  Samsung UE49MU6400 acts dead until disconnecting backlights, then works.
                  by jesterace
                  Hi everyone I have this TV which was dead one day when I tried to turn it on. I've had the cover off and there was just a pulsating/electrical clicking/ticking noise from the PSU. I disconnected the mainboard as sometimes this works to just fire it up with backlights on? That didn't help. Same noise. Then I disconnected the backlight cable from the PSU and the TV came alive. It appeared to respond to the remote and i'm pretty sure it's fully operational when there is no backlight connected.

                  However, I am in a dilemma.

                  I tested the backlight outputs with the lights disconnected...
