    3 year old element 40 inch tv, no back light

    This tv flickered for a few weeks and then no picture. sound is ok.
    I google search and found someone else with same trouble.
    They said they had 81 volts on the cvb4200 power supply board.
    I checked mine and had the same thing.
    I got a new cvb42001 board from shop jimmy.
    I checked its 4 outputs to (i think, the backlight) and was 25 vdc.
    so
    I installed the board and still no picture. sound was ok
    I rechecked the 4 outputs to (i think the back light) and is now 81 volts.

    i don't see any bad caps and nothing smells like a toasted transistor.

    I don't know what to check next. i tried to check ohms on the 4 wires that I think go to the back light but i get no reading. I think because Is diodes?

    Personal info:
    I know what a voltage divider is and how a transistor works. I can sketch a simple amplifier circuit but I am not a electronic tech. I worked for 10 years as a digital controls technician and have assembled several dozen computers over the years since my first 386.

    could you please upload some pictures of the boards used in your tv one of each of the boards and one showing how they are all connected then we can start and help you with fault finding. please note we have not got the tv in front of us so the pictures you provide us need to be clear so when we zoom in on them etc we can read the details if possible. once you have wrote your text reply in the quick reply box if you look towards the bottom it says go advanced click on that then look for a paper click icon click on that then browse and add your pictures.

        The symptoms suggest a failed backlight. PSU seeks OK from what I read. Strip the panel down and test the backlights. You have a LED or LEDs failure on the string/s.

            With a backlight tester, or taking the panel apart.

              Lift Master Garage Door wall switch display / motion sensor controller display disappeared no back light
              by sam_sam_sam
              This happened last Saturday and today I finally had time this morning before I went to work to replace two non brand capacitors

              I will let you be the judge weather or not these are bad or not according to the blue ESR meter that I am using

              I am comparing them to a brand new one that I installed

              The display came back on and the programming was not lost which I was surprised by I would have thought that when the display went blank that so did the memory as well

              I going to let it run for several days before I remount back on the wall next to the...

              vostro comes up with back light but no picture
              by koby058
              Hi people!!
              The owner said it showed bad picture once in a while (attached)
              I see that there is back light but no picture.
              I want to ask if it is possible to disable the NVIDIA GPU and use the intel one?

              Also attached schematic and BDV

              LG 47LA620V Same LED Failing Back Light Issues
              by jdawg99
              Hi All,

              I need some help with this one please. I am attempting a repair on the backlight. TV turns on and flashes the LG logo so stripped it down and found one faulty LED. Replaced it and tested on an LED tester and the strip was good. Put it back onto the PSU and it lasted about 20 seconds before going out again. Same LED had blown. Changed it for another type of SMD one (same voltage) and it seemed fine. Put the TV back together but it was quite dim. Noticed it was in power save mode so turned it off and the screen was bright. Left it on for half an hour only to come back to the...

              ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
              by flat-earther
              The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

              Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

              This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
              Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
              If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...
