    Soniq E40W13A-AU Backlight Problem. Help a noob out

    Hey guys! So yesterday my telly decided to pack it in. No signs of anything going wrong before hand. On startup it will play the startup sound and show the startup screen for a split second then fades to black. The image is then visible using the flashlight technique, so, definitely backlight I'm assuming? All caps etc. look to be in good enough condition and no discolouration anywhere. I've included a couple pics of the board arrangement etc. nt sure how much help they will be though. Please help, I'm gunna lose my mind without having a telly to come home to! TIA.

    Suggest you read this, going to be fun to fix if your a beginner lol. My bet is Led backlight failure again:

      Haha sounds fun. Am I wrong in thinking that because the backlight still functions, albeit for less than a second, that it isn't a failure of the LED's themselves? Is there a way I could mabye run a jumper wire and see if the LED circuit is still intact and potentially functional?

        Okay, so I measured 12v at the led pins when turned on, until the backlight flashes for that one second and it drops down to 0. Unplugged the led's and got the same result. Measured voltages a cable running from psu to main board. All seem to be okay barre one odd one out which was 4v (everything else was 5v or 12v)

          Your pictures are very fuzzy and hard to identify parts. 12V sounds far to low for an led supply which is often >100V mark. Is the LED voltage written on the power supply board?

            Think theres a repair kit for the Psu for this for the Led drive area. Disconnect the Leds and retest the voltage.

              I'll definitely take some hq shots tomorrow as to give you a better idea of the components. I did measure the voltage with the led's disconnected and it remained at 12v, well at least what I think is the led power wiring ( 2 pairs of wires running through the chassis, didn't light up on startup when unplugged).

              Also no, it doesn't appear to have marked voltages for the leds on the board, unless they're on the underside?

                BTW, please make sure it is straight shot pictures of the top and bottom side of the board and may good close up around the LED power supply/connector section too.

                  Yep will do budm. Would have the capacitors discharged by now (10-12 hours or so)? If not is shorting the caps with a screwdriver generally frowned upon? Don't have any resistors etc on hand

                    Just measure the DCV right between the two legs of the cap, that is a sure way to find out if you still have lethal Voltage on the cap or not.

                      So I'm fine to measure such high voltages with a standard DMM?

                        If your dmm has a 1000vdc setting,yes.

                          Okay, got some high res pics of the boards if anyone wants to see if anything stands out. Also, I'm assuming the led driver is built in to the power board, and the t-con board is the long board down the bottom? Would a faulty t-con cause backlight problems?

                            Okay so a tiny bit more progress so far. I've taken then panel apart to inspect the led's. Seems I was mistaken and only the bottom half of the backlight (two lengths/four individual strips) are lighting up momentarily on startup. Also, not sure if this means anything but, if i short the led terminals of each strip, it will light up different strips and different configurations. They are all able to be lit up besides one segment. Is it safe to say this is the culprit? Got a lil video if my explanation is a bit hard to understand. TIA

                              Thats the issue then, have you watched my video ? If not it shows how to test them.

                                It is done! So god damn happy. After following your tut,I managed to track down the faulty led and fix it, although I simply had to bridge it with solder as I have no spare led's and such, but there is no loss of brightness at all and it's operating perfectly! Happy days
