    THANK YOU. I REALLY didn't want to have to tear the screen out to inspect the LEDs and wiring until I saw your post. I had this problem too. I quickly found the point of discontinuity and bridged it. Double checked all of the LEDs according to this video and then bridged the remaining (working) connections for good measure. All fixed, and at no expense to me! Thanks!

    Have same model on the bench and found 2 shorted LED's in the backlight LED strips. I believe the part # is: SVP370A33. I am starting to see this kind of problem more and more. Had a Sony and a Samsung with same issue. If anyone is familiar with a supplier for replacement LED's for these strips or for replacement LED strips, I would appreciate the info.

    Awesome job dude!
    just wish I would have checked back sooner, oh well.
    (wasn't taking any chances with the solder job, lawl...)

    have exact same tv - have apart like yours. can set be turned on without lcd screen attached ? so that the backlight leds come on by themselves ? Or are you applying 50 VDC to X602 to light LEDS ??? thanks

    ..grandfather wanted me to order a new power board. not worth his money imo.

    Maybe make your own tread, put in some hi res pictures of your boards, describe exactly what your TV is doing or not doing, provide measurements with pin out on the connector that goes from the PSU to the main board, service manual etc.

    That will wake more interest in things. Since your TV isn't working anymore, we have to start again at square one.

    Kinda assuming that was aimed at me:
    "Nippon Chemi-Con Hi Temp 105°C
    47uF 100 volt 20% radial leaded electrolytic capacitors."

    Were those a terrible choice?
    Idk, there's not much info on this tv on the net.. only people replacing caps/whole power supply with the problem still persisting that I can find... thoughts?

    I have the same model tv and had the same problem. I replaced all of the caps on the led driver side of the power board and the tv now works well.

    Thanks this thread helped me.
    Did you replace every single capacitor?

    I replaced only the 3 100v caps.(C524,C525,C523) in my grandfather's tv. It lasted 3 weeks before going right back to no leds, with sound playing.

    It lasted a week just taking the tv apart, unplugging the led cable and putting it back together the first time(evil tv.)

    maybe double check your solder joints on your new caps.

    What is the TV doing now? Does it turn on? Is there something on the LCD and sound, but no backlight? Is the backlight trying to come on, flickering or something? If you have a good board and you get something on the LCD itself and sound, then there is only 2 more things. Either a LED wiring harness problem or a LED has burnt out. But I asked you questions already on my last post, I didn't get any answer for.

    Back to the X602 connector. There should be something like 30V to 70V there. Try to measure that again with both meter leads on those 2 pins. Then try the same thing again with the connector unplugged. What does the back light do when you turn on the tv? Does it come on for a brief period and turn off, or is it off all the time? Another idea is that the backlight cable is shorted out to the chassis.

    btw... 36$ buys a new power supply / led driver board.

    TongFang GK5CN5Z (CyberPowerPC Tracer III Xtreme) LCD backlight flickering
    by k24a1
    Hello, I have a strange issue with a laptop that I'm working on fixing up for a friend of mine, and it appears as though the LCD backlight control is not reliable. The LCD backlight flickers sometimes with inconsistent brightness. The controls are no better.. when I go 1/3 of the way in the brightness controls it will get bright but flicker quite obviously, and when I go all the way to what SHOULD be full brightness, it becomes darker. The flickering is less severe at lower brightness, but more severe at higher. the backlight will literally flicker on and off when I set it to the lowest brightness...

    Samsung LE52B620 - Flickering backlight
    by sliceypete
    Hello All,

    My Samsung LE52B620 started to have backlight flickering about a year ago, it would only last for about 10 mins and then the backlight would stay on.

    about a month ago the backlight flickering is constant and does not stop.

    I think it's a problem with the power supply board (BN44-00267b) or maybe the backlight is dying?

    I checked and all the caps look to be fine.

    I do not believe it is a problem with the mainboard, since I unplugged it from the power supply and the backlight came out but still flickers.

    UN65TU700DF picture and sound but no backlight. BL tests ok but repl. PSU didnt fix!
    by triplefour
    this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
    i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
    unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
    according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

    Lenovo Y50-70 - LA-B111P Rev:1A Flickering laptop screen after shorten the R205 resistor/ backlight restoration ?
    by EffiSon
    Hi. Could anyone on the forum help me find the cause of the problem?
    The board is LA-B111P Rev:1A comes from Lenovo Y50-70.

    I have a identified the damaged R205 resistor, and connect a jump wire over it So it restores the backlight but causing strange problems

    1. With Battery ONLY plugged in laptop works fine
    2 .With Charger ONLY plugged in laptop works fine as well

    3. Connecting both battery and charger at the same time shows a strange flickering screen. The flickering is not constant, it is completely random (and I think it depends on the load

    Lenovo B50-80 won't boot, backlight flickering
    by HighwayStar89
    Hi to all,
    I have this laptop that suddendly won't boot.
    When I plug the power adapter, the charging LED turns on.
    When I press the power button, I can hear the fan spinning, and the screen start flashings, with the frontal green LED flashing too.
    No other vital signs.
    I reseated the RAM, changed the RAM, changed CMOS battery, disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled all the boards, changed thermal paste and reflowed, tried the NOVO button (the tiny reset button on the right side) to enter BIOS, tried F2 or Fn + F2, changed power adapter, but with no luck.
    I think...
