    Re: how to test lcd led backlight?

    ? Auto-recovery LED screen ? Resettable Fuse ? Auto-bypass LED?

    ST has LBP01 part can bypass any defected LEDs

    Benefits
    ■ Keep LED strings on in case of LED open mode failure
    ■ Reduced maintenance cost
    ■ Increase lifetime of the lighting system

    https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...34696944c0.pdf

    But, new LED TV used 2000 LEDs to make more brighter LED screen. I predict ( Auto-bypass LEDs will be use to build Auto recovery LED screen) in the future !
    (I mean, LED will build in bypass circuit in the chip which just two more diodes. )

    Tips: So next time don't put a cooper wire cross the defect LED put a diode.This allows the right amount current to flow through the other LEDs.

    Yes that is where standards would work.

    If you want to use external constant current power source to drive the LED string then the strings are no longer connected to the LED driver board) so there is need to have any power to the TV at all since you are just testing LEDs.
    The harder part is to figure out how the strings are connected together and which wire is the Anode and which wire is the Cathode if the panel is not open up to see the LED string, or you can trace the connector on the driver board to see how it is done.

    Bud M don't laugh at me, but I was hoping to unplug all the LED strings and plug them into a separate power source that would eliminate any feed back circuit from turning the the LED driver chip off.

    Now that is a neat testing device I hafta make! Thanks budm!

    It would be nice if these led strings had standards for each size of screen then one could build a test circuit just to plug in and see if the individual strings worked or not, but that would be to easy.

    LED's are wired like christmas-tree lights....

    One dead--all out.

    You just have to test each one in turn. No schematics, just a meter.....

    Please, if not asking too much to draw scheme Led string indicator to find out which string is dead.

    That will be correct if all the LED int he string are good, but if one goes open circuit then nothing will happen, but you need to know how many LEDs are in the string to determine what the power supply voltage needs to be, some string you will need more than 100VDC, Vf of each LED is between 3~3.6V.

    his would be a constant current source would be the voltage regulator.
    What do you think?

    OK, are you asking how to test individual LED mounted on the circuit board that form LED string?
    You can use 3V battery with 100 Ohms resistor to limit the current for testing individual LED.
    Or you already verify that the LED driver circuits are OK but the LED still does not light up?
    Test LED string current draw using DCA.

    Jump with a low ohm resitor between ps-on and 5v stby, and 5vstby and bl-on (inverter on off)

    TCL 43S435 NO BACKLIGHT ISSUE, LEDS TEST OK
    by thetonywarren
    I have a TCL 43S435 with no backlights. I contacted ShopJimmy and they said power supply. I got replacement power supply, but still doesnt work. I have confirmed that there is an image with flashlight test. I have also verified that the led strips work when I probe them with LED tester. Any ideas would be helpful. I am also geting a double blink on the status led when trying to turn it on......Nothing on the power supply looks suspect, and caps look ok. Where should I start to test......Thanks!...

    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...

    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...

    No Backlight Macbook A1990 820-01041
    by Comp_Pro
    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...

    Test dusplay "backlight only" A1297 macbook pro 2010
    by marce002
    Hi

    I have image but no backlight. Fuse is blown. I think the display is faulty or cable lvds.. but not shorted last 3 pins in connector to GND
    .. Can I test the screen backlight only unplugged from motherboard with 32v at those pins? (Expecting to see a backlight only)?
