    LG 55LA7400-UD Dark on right side

    Hi there, I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I have a LG 55LA7400-UD LED TV. When I first turn it on and it's starting up, everything is fine. After a few seconds however it will go dark on the far right side. After about an hour or two it would go completely dark. I figured out that it was a backlight problem, since I still had sound and was able to see the picture if I pointed a flashlight at it. I replaced the LED driver board and that improved my issue. Now it's back to only being dark on the far right edge. It looks like one of the LED strips shuts down. My question is, how do I begin to troubleshoot this ? Could it be a bad connection / solder ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Also, how hard is it to remove the LED strip ?

      Don't know about this particular tv but you will likely have to do a complete teardown to get to the strips. In other words the lcd panel itself along with diffusers and whatever else might be in there must be removed to get to the strips - they cannot be accessed from the back of the set. Good luck.

            Is there a way to troubleshoot the LED'S ? I mean they do all fire up initially. I would hate to start replacing strip on a gut feeling.

              No real way to troubleshoot the leds without getting to them. Other option is the led drivers but doesn't seem likely to me. To get some help on testing those you'll have to post good clear pics of the back of the set and of the driver area AND wait for someone more knowledgeable in circuit testing to come along.

                I know this thread is 2.5years old, but just want to add to it to help anyone else landing here. I had the same problem with this set, except mine was a little way in from the right hand side. It would work fine initially, but after a minute or so the backlight would partially go out. I got my hands on a cracked screen 55la6620 for $20, and used the led strip to replace mine, that fixed the problem. It is an single strip edge lit (from the bottom). Big job to swap them, ALOT of screws, but not exactly hard. Upon testing the individual leds on the old strip I found around half of them to be faulty.

                  Problem

                  This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                  Hello Everyone,

                  This is my first post so I will try to be as precise as possible without making this post too long winded. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the original problem but I included images of the TV internals.

                  I have a Sharp 70LE660U. The problem started a few months ago with the bottom row looking out of sync and was dark on the left side and then fading to transparent on the right side. Shortly after, a dark cloud appeared in the center of the screen. The dark cloud started small and shaded but the image was visible. It also affected the menu area....

                  Testing side panel led strips
                  by koicha
                  I have a Samsung tv that has the LED strips on the side of the tv frame. There are 2 strips per side, each strip has a 4 wire plug. How do you or can you test these strips with a standard LED tester.

                  HP ENVY all-in-one 27 b208na screen dark one side
                  by FitPaul
                  I have a HP ENVY all-in-one 27 b208na with the screen dark on one side. I expect it's due to a faulty back light or inverter on that side.

                  My question is where is the inverter located? In the base or behind the display. How do I dismantle the display to check the backlights? I tried to take off the back cover but it cannot be removed completely so does not give good access to the display. Should I gain access to the display from the front?

                  Magnum IA.100 Amplifier Switches on, No Output, Possible Input Side fault?
                  by flibidy
                  I have here a Magnum IA.100 which belongs to my parents.



                  The unit powers on & when the relay kicks in, you get a pop from the speakers (this might sound weird but is usual behavior for this amp). However, you get nothing coming through it from any of the inputs & no pops and crackls from any of the controls.


                  Because of the sound from the speaker when the amp turns on I have assumed that the output section probably works but I could be wrong & I'm not sure how to test that side of things further.
