    Possibly. Just hard to tell from a pic.

      Re: sourcing led backlight strips...

      I found on some LED strips like you showed usually 4 chnnels each channel had 25 leds.
      They are a pain to remove becsause the back of the LED where its bonded to heatsink with a heatsink epoxy. without it they get too hot and fail prematurely.

        Where did you find these??? Sounds right cause these are like super stupid sticky glued to the metal...

          These ones have a ground plain on the back. Real pain to get off in one piece. I got about 10 off, but at the expense of ruining the strip. I sliced them off with a sharp razor and then removes the remains of the traces from them. I think you are going to have to just get them hot and break them in half, if you don't want to damage your strip. And these work at 3.2v, I'm blind now BTW.

            LOL! I'm sorry your blind now. I guess I'm not following how your talking about putting them back on... Would getting them hot and breaking them in half, um, break them?

              I mean, removing the bad ones from your board. I'm saying, trying to remove them in one piece will probably result in damaging the rest of your strip, which you need to save. If you just get them hot enough, they will break apart. Then you can desolder the individual pieces from the strip. I already got 10 off and they are in good shape.

                oh. We've already removed what we believed was the bad one... with a pocket knife... :yikes:

                  Oh, OK. I just did the same with a razor and flooding it with solder. Melting didn't work so good.

                    I would test the rest of them. Use 2 AA batteries in series. 2 new ones will be about 3.2v. The end with the little dot is positive. Wear sunglasses.

                      Putting them on is going to be tricky. You have to be quick, or they melt. Once you get them in place, you have to somehow heat the bottom to reflow the solder on that ground plain, or they won't last long.

                        Duuuude. Thank you so much, I'm just happy to have a direction to go...

                        sucks to have that nice tv and 1 stupid little part keeps it from working...

                          It's nothing. I'll get them in the mail on Monday. Just be certain to let us know how it goes. And pay it forward.

                            I think I'm going to see if I can use one of these for a bulb in my mini Mag lite. These things are super bright.

                              Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
                              by DanPoka
                              I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
                              Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
                              This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...

                              Hello all,

                              Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

                              Tests performed:

                              There is no backlight even with a good screen.
                              Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
                              Fuse F8400 ok
                              Current sense resistor R8400 ok
                              Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
                              Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
                              Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
                              Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
                              I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure...

                              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...

                              Backlight strip quality, Amazon vs Ebay vs ShopJimmy. Is there really a difference?
                              by DXseekerMO
                              Hello everyone!

                              Recently I've noticed that some ShopJimmy backlight strips don't have double-sided tape installed upon them when an application calls for it, and I must purchase the tape separately. In a recent chat conversation with a customer service agent I told them if this tape wasn't applied when it was called for I would begin to consider ordering my backlight strips elsewhere. It looks like this time may have come.

                              I recently got a TCL 65S4 with bad backlights. After looking at the SJ listing here: https://www.shopjimmy.com/tcl-jl-d65...365as-m-led-ba...

                              Vizio M70-D3 4K with dark spots backlight issue
                              by Yanleb
                              I have a Vizio M70-D3 4K with a dark spots backlight issue. It is using the Y8387248A backlight driver board.

                              On this model each of the 64 transistor powers 2 LEDs. Using my TKDMR TD3H backlight tester I've determined that the backlight LED strips were the issue, and the backlight driver board was just fine. Some LED pairs required 5.9 volt at 155mA, some required 9.5 volt and some were completely open.

                              I've removed the LCD panel and once the LED strips were exposed I've tested them again by connecting my LED tester directly on the test pads. To my surprise all, I've...
