Hey guys!! I have an Insignia LED tv that has no backlight. TV turns on and displays an image, witnessed with a flashlight. I have the SJ LED tester. I disconnected the single LED connection at the power supply and used the tester to try and get the array to turn on. There is only a red and a white wire at the connection. I put my red probe to red wire and black probe to white wire and the array doesn't light up. I did other way to test and same result. I took the panel completely apart and tested each individual strip and found that one strip was bad. I ordered the array from SJ and installed. Put the whole panel back together and retested. Same result, no backlight. I tested DC voltage across the pos and neg LED connector and got 400v when on. Power supply shows 200v output. Is it possible that the power supply has over voltage to the led array and that is why the backlight won't come on, or is the 400v mean an open LED circuit? When I installed the new strips, I tested each strip with the SJ led tool and they all lit up individually. These LED strips have the red wire and white going to one strip then the red wire goes to each of the other strips.

Re: Insignia NS-50D550NA15 No Backlight
What voltage did your tester show when connected? What do you mean by (Power supply shows 200v output)?I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post. -
Re: Insignia NS-50D550NA15 No Backlight
When I plug the tester into the wall socket it shows 300v. When I put the probes into the connector, the voltage readout doesn't change.
The printing on the power supply shows its rated at 200v output.
I'm wondering if there isn't something wrong with the wiring from connector across all led strips. Regardless, if all led strips are good individually then upon connecting them to the wiring, I should be able to get the array to power up I would think with the tester. Currently baffled. I was really hoping that I didn't have to disassemble the whole panel again but its looking like I'm going to have to.Comment

You have an open somewhere. Connectors. Tester should drop down around 200v.I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.Comment

Re: Insignia NS-50D550NA15 No Backlight
I had one of these recently. All of the LEDs were fine when tested one strip at a time. I damaged the screen getting into the panel so I can't say what the fix was. I doubt it was the LEDs.Comment

Re: Insignia NS-50D550NA15 No Backlight
The connectors at the strip are so damn weak its not funny. Maybe I bent one of the strip wires in the connector trying to connect them. I'll be taking back apart soon.

You may have to solder jumpers around all the connectors.I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.Comment

Re: Insignia NS-50D550NA15 No Backlight
Well, I took the tv apart again tonight and discovered that one of the strips connections was "burnt" or at least discolored in comparison to the rest so I knew that wasn't right. I used my tester and was able to light up the whole array if I probed pos and neg on each side of the bad strip. I put one of the old strips that worked in this one's place and retested the array. I was able to get the whole array to light up with my tester. Tested from the power supply connector and the whole array lit up. At this point I was feeling excited. Put the tv back together and turned on the tv. It powered on and lit up the screen!! Sweet!! In the corner I noticed what appeared to be a pressure point. You know how an lcd screen looks like when you push your finger on it?? Well I must not have had the panel completely seated in the plastic surround becuase that pressure point ended up cracking the screen. :*(
Pissed off at this point, but now I know what happened. Thanks for the help guys!!Comment

Hi,
I have this Insignia tv with most of the led's damaged. I'm not able to find the replacement LED strips for the same. The numbers marked on LED strips are -
LB-GM3030-GJBETTY504XBBB19. Please find the photo for the same. Can somebody help finding replacement/equivalent led strips for the same.... -
Ok.. this is the story:
Have an old Samsung LED 3D TV (UE55F6475). First it started to lose light on the lower 40% of the screen now and then. Like for 10-60 mins and then it would work again. Then a bit later it just got stuck in that position. The lower 40% of the screen is dark, and it gets progressively darker the lower u go so it's obviously that LED strips where not working. I also looked for similar errors online and saw an exact copy and on that one it was faulty LED strips.
This is kinda how it looked, just that mine were at the bottom of the screen:

OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.
Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.
This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.
The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.
Where may I find parts... -
We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was... -
I currently have a customer's vintage fan on the work bench to repair.
It uses an induction motor with 4 poles. One of the poles is open.
I couldn't find the break so i cut off the original wire.
I have measured the other poles and the resistance is about 28 ohms per pole and I measured the diameter of the wire with my digital calipers and it is 0.35mm in diameter.
I need to work out how much 0.35mm diameter enamelled copper wire i need to order for it to be 28 ohms. I have used this calculator and it says i need 160.35 metres.
The enamelled copper...
