Re: Seiki SE50FY28 LED TV, no backlite

Thanks, vr69. I love your sense of optimism!

Sadly tho, I can see the crack in the screen when I look thru it from the rear.



However, I recently fixed a Sony XBR series LCD that DID have a bad tab-bond, and gave it to my wife's boss after I fixed it (a little brown-nosing never hurts ). Took forever til I found the exact spot that was bad.
In my case, failed area on the screen was horizontal, but I can see how a failed area could be vertical too.

To learn from your suggestion, could a bad bond area also cause a curved issue? I'm trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can as diagnosing these beasts is 'almost' as much as fishing... and a whole lot better on bad-weather days!

im not sure about bad tab bond causing a curve? hopefully someone who has done a few tab bond repairs can advise us.

Dunno if you're having any luck finding new LEDs, but I have a full set that I harvested from that tv i was referencing in my earlier posts. Yours for the price of postage, if you want them.

Do you still have these LED strips? You wouldnt happen to be near Austin would you? I have a Seiki with bad backlights, but it's a 47 inch. I'll start my own thread here soon. I'm wondering if the strips would even fit a smaller panel? Most likely not.

Wish I could help. We've moved since my posts, and all of that extra stuff went in the trash

Sorry about that.
