Samsung LE19R86WD LCD TV Problem

[baggers]

Hi all,

I have a Samsung LE19R86WD LCD TV and the screen has suddenly gone dark. You can still get a picture, but the screen is that dark it's barely watchable.

Is it a common problem, and is it easily fixed?

Thanks.

Assuming you have tried the brightness contrast adjustment and a factory reset it could be a few things we really need to see the boards inside The pictures need to be clear enough so we can read the numbers on the board if they are not dont post them try for better ones - good light is the key.
Do you have a multimeter and soldering equipment and any experience in fixing tvs/monitors/computers ?

If you are seeing the pic and everything else is working then your backlight is not turning on. Either the lamps are defective or your Inverter is not getting power or perhaps the Main Board is not sending out Backlight-ON signal.

try unplugging your bl-on connector from the main board or power supply, see if the backlights pop on or are they on?

could be inverter board, try to post some pics, is your inverter separate from your power supply?
