As someone with an interest in TV repair, I've noticed that backlight failure seems to be a very common issue with newer LED TVs. From what I've read on this forum it is because TV manufactures drive the LEDs with too much current and don't provide adequate cooling. What can I do to prevent this from happening to my own LED TV? I've turned the backlight brightness from 100 down to 65, will this be enough to improve the lifespan? Now I've repaired backlights before on TVs that I bought cheap with the intention of repairing and selling, but I don't want to have to repair the backlight on my own personal TV that I payed retail price for.

Re: How do I increase the lifespan of the backlight in my LED TV?
Turn it down as low as you can and still get good pictures, I have my LG at only 35% and it's still pretty bright to me, make sure to do that on all input source settings.Never stop learning

Re: How do I increase the lifespan of the backlight in my LED TV?
Yes, turning the backlight down does improve lifespan.
I always recommend buying a TV with a 5 year warranty.Comment

Re: How do I increase the lifespan of the backlight in my LED TV?
When I fix a LED backlight by replacing just shorted / open LEDs, I always instruct customer to lower the Backlight Level setting to 50% or less. No returns to date.Comment

Re: How do I increase the lifespan of the backlight in my LED TV?
And if your TV does not have a backlight control setting it should have a power save setting turn that on.Did I leave the soldering iron on?Comment

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... -
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
I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure... -
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.

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...
