And - of course - I wonder if most of the reason they fail is cos they can't quite get their heat out through the metal rear. heat sinking - Hot gluing them around teh OUTSIDE of the mini strips so the rear keeps metal-to-metal contact would be a good idea I reckon.

Well, if the Flocko method works, with less visual distortion to the image, then that is the way to go!

I noticed, that if you take the diffuser lenses off the LEDs and glue them on again, it is HARD to make it look right again against a solid blue or white backround! At least with Flocko Method, the Lens is untouched, and the light diffuses properly! I will never remove the lenses again, just too much hassle!

Just got back to this - thanks for the interest! Flocko - simple and brilliant. I'd started to remove a lens, but hey that's the last one!
I ended up measuring the current going through one of the 4 strings (series LEDS hence 50-odd volts) and I got 150mA. And I think that was about 75% duty cycle. A 46" not-high end Samsung. So, I think allowing for 400mA would be sensibill.
I guess a very important key, is using LEDS from a reliable model. No point putting in LEDs from a Vestel or similar into a better TV!
Go the Black Caps...

Re: How To Repair Led Backlight Strips Video !

Awesome, thats called the stacking method as I mentioned in the video. I have another Led Tv with the same fault coming soon I will do a video on how to do that method

Re: How To Repair Led Backlight Strips Video !

Out of urgency, I just figured a very easy way to use another LED from the TV without having to do surface mount solder work or even detach the lens!!! (Sorry I didn't take pics, I already got the TV together)

MAKE LED MINI STRIPS!!!!

Just use a dremel to cut the LED strip board just past each side of the LED and (1.25-1.5inch long total piece of board) leave enough of the strip board to have room to be able to scratch away the white mask and solder two thin white wires to it, one for + and -.

Then remove the old LED and make it a flat surface, glue some KAPTON tape over it to insulate. Then hot glue the new Mini Strip exactly in place of the old LED, scratch away two solder spots on the strip, and solder the two wires to it observing polarity. Once you put the white reflective backing with the LED holes back in, it covers it up, and it looks right.

Doing that Mini Strip is much less labor intensive, than just trying to get the lenses right on the LEDs.
