    How common is it for LEDs to short?

    How common is it for LEDs to short?

    I'm a TV hoarder and I have 14 tvs in my shop right now.

    Plasmas are a pain but I like the picture.

    LCDs are a easer to work on.

    But now it seems to me that the LED back lit are a real problem.

    How common is it for the LEDs to fail?

      shorts in leds are very rare,
      failure in general is more difficult to say - people dont bring us stuff that works!

              Facebook is just a cia tool to link you to your friends and to link your face to an i.p. address and name.

              think about how much the ability to put a face to an i.d. and group people into clusters is worth to an evil government!

              you could be walking down the street past some protest, police catch your face in a foto with the oher people.

              thanks to your driving license or passport they know your name, but thanks to facebook they also know who to connect you with!!!!

                  Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
                  by DynaxSC
                  Hi Folks

                  I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

                  I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
                  After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
                  The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...

                  pioneer A-307R flashing leds on front panel, possible short
                  by crea2k
                  I have a pioneer A-307R here and what it does is flash all of the leds on the front and nothing more.

                  I got the thermal camera out on it and saw that Q451 was getting hot, so I removed it and the lights now come on as normal, but obviously that part of the amp doesn't work.

                  I tried replacing it, but it goes back to its flashing lights thing again.

                  I noticed too that on the back of the board R465 - R467 - R 469 are all getting red hot (over 100 degrees C)

                  Im guessing I have a short here somewhere, but so far I have not managed to find...

                  MacBook Pro 14" A2442 Short on PPBUS_AON but no short present when injecting voltage!
                  by Stephen
                  I check PPBUS_AON and there is a short present on the line, the computer shows a short when testing for short to ground, so when I inject voltage into the line, I get 0AMPS so no short is showing up. I have replaced a blown cap on this board that exploded and tested for the short and it is now removed. Any suggestions? I tested voltage at the line when the fuses are connected and I am getting 1.2 Volts at the line.

                  Corsair K70 LUX RGB dying LEDs
                  by Pipolups
                  Hi there !

                  I'm having an issue for several weeks with my quite old K70 LUX RGB keyboard. I haven't used it for few months, and once I setup up again my desktop computer, I got several dead LEDs on that keyboard. I tried the Corsair troubleshooting thing (disabling options in iCUE, ...) but nothing changed so I conclude that for some reason some LEDs went in retirement...😅
                  Decision taken to change these LEDs as I have access to desoldering iron and binocular magnifier, I wrote a ticket to tech support, hopping to obtain the LEDs reference and... They refused to tell me 🙄...

                  Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)
                  by Victor Moreira Silva
                  Hello everyone,

                  I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

                  Well, my decice specs are the following:

                  Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
                  CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
                  GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
                  Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

                  The symptom:
                  When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...
