    m471i-a2 no backlight

    I have no back light and was hoping I cold get some information on the transistors in the picture. As you can see one is for sure shot but i was going to replace them all while I was at it. I am unsure how to identify the components I need however. If I could get pointed in the right direction I would forever grateful.

    Thanks

      Re: m471i-a2 no backlight

      there are 3 things you need to check. Does the main board send PSon and BLon signals? Does the PSU provide power to the backlights, or is it a LED that's bad on the backlight strip? So you would have to get a digital multimeter and start measuring things.

          You have 6 strings of LEDs so that is why there are 6 PWM controlled MOSFET to maintain constant current through each LED string.
          I can see that one of the 6 MOSFET dis not get hot and burnt the board, it may mean that the other 5 LED strings may have some shorted out LED so the Vdrops on those 5 MOSFETS' have gone up so more power dissipation. I would check the total Vf of each LED string to see what you have which mean you will need LED tester that will show the Vf of each LED string.

              Shopjimmy has your board in stock for $24 if bad LEDs is not the cause.

                  Thanks for the replies,

                  I looked at shop jimmy but the board they have in stock is 1A1 and mine is a 1B1. Is that a compatible board? The reason I asked about the components is that when I was checking it out two of them are cracked. If the board is compatible I will be going with that option.

                  Thanks

                      Re: m471i-a2 no backlight

                      So I have replaced the power board and now some of the led's do not work leaving bright and dim spots on the screen. I have tried to find the whole strip but have not had any luck. Can someone point me in the right direction to buy replacement led's for this model?

                          I ended up soldering on new led's for the ones that had gone out. Has been working since.

                          Thanks

                              OK, just got this same model of TV for free, no remote yet. Turns on, but counting from the bottom, I saw only the 2nd of 6 LED strings turning on. Opened it up, and on the power board, looking at the 6 MOSFET's in the OP's photos, the 2nd one is the only one not burned. If I understand budm's post correctly, does this mean the LED strings failed and took the MOSFET's out with them, now necessitating simultaneous replacement of the LED strings and the power board? Or should I try replacing only the power board? Thanks in advance.

                                  I think Budm said that failing leds on each string caused the mosfet associated with that string to overheat.
                                  Willing to help but I'm no expert.

                                      this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
                                      i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
                                      unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
                                      according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

                                      Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
                                      by DanPoka
                                      I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
                                      Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
                                      This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...

                                      Hello all,

                                      Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

                                      Tests performed:

                                      There is no backlight even with a good screen.
                                      Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
                                      Fuse F8400 ok
                                      Current sense resistor R8400 ok
                                      Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
                                      Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
                                      Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
                                      Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground

                                      iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
                                      by cheebster
                                      Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
                                      Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
                                      Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
                                      The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
                                      Anyone...

                                      LG Flatron 24EN33TA No Backlight When Cold

                                      Hi all,

                                      I've got an LG Flatron 24EN33TA with a backlight issue. The problem began with the monitor not powering up after sitting for a long time (overnight or during the day throughout work). When I would wake the computer up, the backlight would flick on for a second then go out. Sometimes it would take many tries to get it to come on. Once the monitor came on, it worked flawlessly until another long duration of being powered off.

                                      I thought the problem would be bad caps but I checked both of the caps on the board and they are fine. I also tried powering the monitor from...
