    alot of LG LEDs going out??

    So i have another thread on an LG 47lw5600 LED tv which has no backlight. Im waiting on some parts to come in the snail mail before I can test it, but I have been researching the issue online and it seems that ALOT of these things are burning up the lighting elements. Sounds as if they are pushing to much power through the LED strips. I see alot of people recomend lowering the brightness on them to reduce the risk of them burning up.

    I may be wrong here, but what I noticed is that the majority of these TVs doing it are 3D tvs. When in 3d mode, any display device has to put out ALOT of lumens to make the 3d look right, i would bet these displays automatically crank the lumens up for 3d. Im wondering if the majority of these that are going out are from people who used the 3d feature alot.

    We recommend lowering backlights not brightness. I have measured current through a vizio and at full backlights they run about 420ma. Well above I believe what the led is rated. Which from specs I see are around 350ma. I think it is planned that way to shorten life of tv. Unlike old days economy now is throwaway and built to not be repairable.
    I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

      Corsair K70 LUX RGB dying LEDs
      by Pipolups
      Hi there !

      I'm having an issue for several weeks with my quite old K70 LUX RGB keyboard. I haven't used it for few months, and once I setup up again my desktop computer, I got several dead LEDs on that keyboard. I tried the Corsair troubleshooting thing (disabling options in iCUE, ...) but nothing changed so I conclude that for some reason some LEDs went in retirement...😅
      Decision taken to change these LEDs as I have access to desoldering iron and binocular magnifier, I wrote a ticket to tech support, hopping to obtain the LEDs reference and... They refused to tell me 🙄...

      I have an issue with my Majority PETERHOUSE GRADUATE Internet Radio, it keeps rebooting at the boot logo Welcome screen. I have an another forum active in other website but due to lack of response I am posting the same here. I am positing a link below that has pictures including all the troubleshooting I have tried, appreciate if someone can take a look and give me any suggestions.

      Insignia NS-37D20SNA14 intermittent LEDs
      by THE GTC
      So I use this TV daily as a second monitor for my PC or my Playstation - at one point a few months back I tried to fix the problem - but in the process, I figured out something that works so I haven't posted this for awhile. It is an annoying trick to have to do though, so I decided to post about it to see if anyone could spot what's wrong. It baffles me because it works on it's own half the time.

      When I first got this TV, I was told it wouldn't turn on, and of course I did the flashlight test, and the image was there. Also, the red LED on the front indicated that it had power (it...

      Replacing Mode Indicator LEDs
      by VitalComputing
      Hi all,

      I have what should be a simple job but is causing me issues. There are three LEDs (yellow, green and red) on the indicator panel of a solar PWM controller and these have broken off. I need to replace them but I am unsure of the voltage drop across these. I don't want to replace with random LEDs in case they blow.

      I took one of the LEDs out of circuit, put 19V across it with a 500 ohm resistor in series and there is a drop of about 13V across the LED, and this seems to increase as I increase the input voltage.

      I thought I could just put a resistor...

      just a quick question do all qled leds appear blue when fault finding ?
      by jimbofz
      i have replaced many leds strips that have changed blue when they are worn
      and the new replacements are perfect white
      but when fault finding do quantum leds always look blue?
