    LG 39LN575V Backlight down

    Hi All,
    I've just picked up this TV for £20 through facebook. The guy I got it from had said that the screen had just gone off. When I got it home I couldn't hear any inductive pop when I plugged it in so changed the fuse and it powered up.
    When I hit the power button the tv comes on but there is no backlight.
    I've never looked at an LED backlight before. Is it the same as a CCFL? Look for a powering 24V (or other voltage to watch for). Are they likely to fail as a set or a single led and finally if they've given up the ghost are they replaceable?
    I only ask as I have a better set of tools at work and am limited to a multi meter at home. Is it worth me cracking off the back or a I better diagnosing with more of a tool set?

          Superb stuff thanks, looks like the psu and leds are not a bad price.
          Very pleased with the set. I'll update with the repair.

                  Let me tell you a story about an inadvertent win.....
                  So needless to say I watched the vid (thanks very much for that they were nicely informative). I imagined that would be the problem as the PSU visibly looked OK. As I have a reflow station and a hot air gun at work I planned to repopulate the led with a spare.
                  Stripped the to down and got to the backlight. I disassembled each strip and powered them to find the faulty led(s) and all of them worked ok. :/
                  I reassembled the tv and realised that I'd forgotten to re plug the edge connector.
                  Disassembly
                  Plug in edge connector.
                  Reassembly
                  That wrapped up my lunch hour at work. (Cursing myself for not checking the PSU first)

                  The next day I fired up the set to check the voltage was ok on the board (helpfully labelled on the pcb for a change with both current and voltage rating) and I saw that the voltage blipped then came up steady. Strange.
                  Looked on the front of the to and the backlight was working fine.
                  I can only imagine that the was a thermally cycled connector inside it that had worked loose and re seating it sorted the problem as I've had the set on for 8 hours without a fault.

                  As you can imagine I'm chuffed to bits with my £20 tv and will be keeping this one for myself. The moral of the story being don't preempt the repair. Check the obvious first before you strip the set. Or throw logic to the wind, strip the set for no good reason and find you've inadvertently repaired the set anyway.

                  Thanks for the help.

                      this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
                      i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
                      unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
                      according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

                      Apple Watch Charging Controller Schematics / Boardview - 820-02601
                      by a_p3rson
                      Hi there,

                      I'm looking for anyone who might have information on Apple's embedded Apple Watch charging daughterboard, ID 820-02601. This is currently used by Anker in their Apple Watch charging products, but likely by other Apple partner brands as well.

                      You can see the board referenced in ChargerLab's teardown of the Anker Y1811 3-in-1 MagSafe cube - they discuss the "Apple Watch wireless charging circuit" about 2/3rds down the page. It's not pictured, but the board ID reads 820-02601-A, which sure sounds like Apple.
                      This daughterboard uses an interesting...

                      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...

                      iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
                      by cheebster
                      Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
                      Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
                      Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
                      The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
                      Anyone...
