    TCL 55S425 backlights wont turn off

    Need some advice here. So I picked up this 55" off the curb and diagnosed it with bad leds. I opened it up, tested the 4 strips with the tester and yes, 2 strips had burnt leds. I ordered a new set and installed them. But before putting tv back together, I always test tv to make sure I did it correctly. Tv lights up and works, however when turning tv off, the top set of leds remain on. Swapped power supply with identical one and same results. Swapped MB with identical one, same results. So I put the tv back together and reset MB. Tv works fine like new, but leds remain on when powering off. They go off only when unplugging tv.. Im ready to tear it apart again and inspect the led wiring, but any ideas what causes this before I do?

    i think the top LED set which remain on was the one defect at the original one.

    Roku TV, android TV, Google TV, they have active circuit at PSU, so when you put the set at STBY , and when you turn it on again you will have direct Home Picture Displaying , this called ( Hot Start )

    check at setting or at service menu this point and let it be ( Cold Start ) , if there are no option about this to switch it off, then you have only to DIY the BL circuit at PSU via the Optocoupler to let it BL_ON signal control whole LED BL.

      Or you may have short contact of the top strips set LED - with chassis

        Most likely this is the case, the bar is shorted by ground...

          About replacing individual LEDS on BL strips
          by edugimeno
          Hi There!
          Having fixed 5-6 TV sets by replacing full LED strips, and having watched other people fix that by replacing just one LED in the strip, my question now is what should I consider before doing so.

          At this time I have some old strips removed from TV's with all but one LED working. Are there different voltage/current LED on different strips? Are 99% of them just the same and interchangeable?

          How do you find which specific model is needed for each strip? When I check if a LED is OK by attaching the multimeter leads to the individual led pads on the strips I...

          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:

          LG 50Lf6090 only backlights after replacing LED strips
          by IT&TVHobbies
          I have an LG 50LF6090-UB that had a picture but started flashing on and off. Tested the LED strips and it had several bad LED's. Replaced the LED strips and turned the TV on and it only had the backlights on. Researched the issue and purchased a TCON board online. This did not fix the issue. Researched again and purchased a Main board on line. This didn't fix the issue either. The only thing now is that the backlights turn on as soon as I plug in the tv without touching the power button. Any help to identify the problem would be appreciated.
          Thank you

          Corsair K70 LUX RGB dying LEDs
          by Pipolups
          Hi there !

          I'm having an issue for several weeks with my quite old K70 LUX RGB keyboard. I haven't used it for few months, and once I setup up again my desktop computer, I got several dead LEDs on that keyboard. I tried the Corsair troubleshooting thing (disabling options in iCUE, ...) but nothing changed so I conclude that for some reason some LEDs went in retirement...😅
          Decision taken to change these LEDs as I have access to desoldering iron and binocular magnifier, I wrote a ticket to tech support, hopping to obtain the LEDs reference and... They refused to tell me 🙄...

          RCA RLDED 4331B: 43 inch LED TV: Backlight issue
          by lmcancu
          Hi I am having an issue with the LED backlight of this TV. I can see the picture with a flash light, so I determined it was a backlight issue.

          Initially, after opening it I found 2 shorted and 1 open LED on 2 strips (total of 4). I removed the LEDs and shorted the pads together to verify if the backlight would work.

          Testing it, I found the backlight turned on and I measured 54V when TV was in standby (off), and 100v when TV was turned on. The 4 strips each contain 9 LEDs, so 36 in all minus 3.

          Instead of putting it back together I decided to replace...
