    Substitute CCFL backlights in Sanyo

    I have A Sanyo 42 Inch with one backlight ccfl burned out. This is causing the one second to black that is discussed in length on this forum.
    I have some ccfls from a different tv set that are the same size diameter wise . But are about 5 inches shorter.


    I want to clip one end of my shorter tube in as normal and then support the other end with a plastic support so it is not just hanging in the air.
    And then run a wire from the end of the ccfl to the other clip. ?? Will this work?

    I am not worried about loss of light. Just want the TV to stay on.

    Looking closer my donor lamps are maybe one size larger than the originals. The ends still fit the clips so it's not much. Will this cause any grief with current draw?

      Well no joy. I put it back together and still have the same two seconds and then the backlights go out. I did not know how to leave it partial apart so I can see what is happening. Don't think the donor lamp is working.

      So what happens if you leave the lcd screen out.. tcon board unplugged etc.
      will the safety circuits stop the backlights from even trying to light?

      Feel free to jump in... Is it because the lamp size is wrong??? There might be more than one out.... The one I replaced was black all the way across, none of the others looked that way.

          Did you even check the inverter transformers ?

            Thanks for the input.. Well good news its lives. Removed the LCD panel so I could see the lights and the short one was working fine but there was one more out that did not look burnt. Put another donor lamp in that slot and she stays on and looks great.
            I was a little worried about those ribbons tabs on the lcd panel because of all the teardowns... but they survived and picture looks good. No lines or troubles.

            Will let it play all afternoon and I will get it back to the friend that gave it to me.

              HANNSG Hi221 -- 2 secs to black feat. CCFL flicker & "burn" marks on power board
              by ttmi100x
              Greetings everyone,


              I have a HANNSG Hi221 monitor that exhibits two seconds to black issues (backlight goes off, display is still on as confirmed by shining a flashlight on it) with some additional oddities...


              The monitor failed on me with a standard "2 seconds to black" some time ago prompting me to initially replace most of the electrolytic capacitors (some of them were bulging/leaking).
              Things kinda sorta worked for a night, then the problem returned along with some flickering and "buzzing" noises.

              Upon closer inspection...

              Sanyo DP65E34 Backlights off after a 1-2 sec
              by fharris1977
              Hello. I have a Sanyo TV that had no backlights at first. I changed CS9 off the power supply and now the backlights will come on for a second or 2 and go right back off. I can see the image if I shine a flashlight in the screen. Anyone familiar with this particular model and problem, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance....

              Help on Samsung Syncmaster T220 dead ccfl lamp
              by mikey5791
              Hi,

              This monitor previously is my main working monitor which i have been using for 8~9 years. Yesterday, when i switched on my pc from fresh to power on, the monitor is just black no display. I started dismantle to look inside the monitor power board but nothing looks suspicious or burnt. So i took my external ccfl inverter to try to power the monitor ccfl lamps which consisted of 2 lamps on upper part and 2 lamps on the lower part.

              Found out the upper ccfl lamp which is supposed to connect to cn304 on the power board did not light up. Then i installed a used working...

              Samsung UE48H6410 replaced Mainboard but backlights doesnt go on
              by max789
              Hello, I have a problem with my Samsung UE48H6410SSXZG with the main board BN41-02156A and the power board BN44-00709A. Everything seemed like this, the TV could no longer be switched on, the standby LED always flashed 5x2 times. Backlight was off and no sound from TV. Also made the flashlight test and there was no picture.

              I made the following tests:
              1. Disconnected the main board from Power Board = backlight works.
              2. Connected the main board and disconnected the T-Con = backlights does not work.

              So I ordered a main board from Ebay also BN41-02156A but from...

              VIZIO M557-G0: Backlights or ???
              by bpcannan
              'Morning,
              I get sound and picture when powering on the TV and its stays that EXCEPT that the left half of the screen will dim every few seconds then return to normal while the right side of the screen performs as designed.

              Did the soft and hard reset options pulling the plug, using the reet option in the vizio menu to no avail.

              I checked the mainboard - found some popped capacitors so replaced it - but that did not change the situation.

              I checked the t-con board. It is getting good power. Then I removed one ribbon cable to see if I could isolate...
