Just for a laugh

[finntricky]

picked this JVC vestal tele up to night, turns on but no picture, but you get sound,
well done the normal checks and then decided to remove the screen to do the dud LED's.
this is what i found,

one of the leds even worked, and its bright RED, LOL
just had to share this repair that has failed.

anyone else come across anything like this before ?

Re: Just for a laugh

Someone went inside the screen and put in the wrong LED, must be one of those DIY repair man.

Re: Just for a laugh

vestels patented advanced soldering blob passive heatsinks dissipate heat from failing LEDS prolonging the life of your tv set for at least 3 months

showcased by the LED on the left, while the led on the right is a factory kogan

Brilliant. I wonder what the repair cost was on that one.

Re: Just for a laugh

the old LEDs look like 1Watt SMD LEDs with diffuser lens

You all not understand. It gives warmer images, perfect pair with a happily running fireplace during winter holidays.

Re: Just for a laugh

I've done this when I needed to verify the operation of the LED power supply (and I didn't yet have the correct LED). I, however, used leaded WHITE LEDs. I don't imagine that a red LED will work (for very long) due to both the much higher current and the voltage.
