LG 55LN5750-UH backlights

[CapLeaker]

So I've gotten this LG 55LN5750-UH TV set in with bad backlights. Getting a strip replacement for this set is nearly impossible. I found those LED's at SJ: http://www.shopjimmy.com/replacement...-set-of-12.htm
Problem is that those at SJ are for up to 50" TV, like a 50LN5750. I wonder if they are the same for the 55"? Cording to SJ, if the TV model number isn't listed, it won't work (as far as support goes), but we know that these guys aren't always right either.

I would remove an led and check size, pad polarity and pad configuration. I believe the problem is the lens are different not the led

How much LEDs does the 55" strip have and how much do the 50" have. If the difference is 1 or 2 per strip I would use the strips available.

Re: LG 55LN5750-UH backlights

the lens isn't a problem. Those are still good on the set. It's just the LED's on which I am not sure on. Maybe just for heck, I am going to order them anyways.

I have no idea how much LED's that 50" set has.

Shopjimmy is selling lens and led and I believe the lens are different which is why they don't list as compatible

Why not to resolder only bad leds? Why you want to change whole strip?

Re: LG 55LN5750-UH backlights

I don't care about the lens that comes from SJ, I just want the LED's to fit. All lenses on mine are still good. I've ordered the LED kit now anyway. Let's see what happens.
I was looking for strips, so I can replace the bad Led / led strip on the set I have.

i found few LED tv with broken screen, you can get them for free or for some funny price.
Rip them off and keep stripes for spares LEDs, i`ve done that and i`ve never need to buy new leds yet.

Unfortunately one can't go to the recycling bin and take out stuff anymore. It's theft around here, go figure.

Got the LED's from SJ, put them in with the old lenses. Works fine.
