    Haier 50E3500A - No Backlight

    Hi,

    I'm fairly new to electronics repair (I started with mobile devices) so please forgive me if I am not as clear as I should be.

    This LCD tv has image but no backlight. The backlights flash on for a spiit second when powering on the tv and go out. I spent a lot of time looking for a schematic or servicing manual for this TV but I was unable to find one. If anyone can point me in the right direction in that regard that would be amazing.

    I have checked all the output voltages from the PS board and all of the ones that are listed on the board are good. The PS board does not say the output voltage for the backlights. It simply says LED+. Both outputs to the LEDs showed roughly 95V. That seemed like it was likely a good measurement so I went ahead and removed the LCD panel and backlight layers and checked out the backlights.

    This Model has 12 LED strips with 6 LEDs per strip. I tested and found that one of the LEDs was out and I assumed I found the problem. I ordered a replacement LED strip and installed it yet I am still getting the same result.

    My bench power supply doesn't go above 30V so I am unable to test the whole backlight circuit with direct power to get an idea if it is due to the PS output.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

      You probably have more bad LEDs. Did you test every strip since they are likely 3V x 6 = 18V

          I thought I checked them all but I suppose I could have had a brain fart and skipped one strip. I really don't want to remove that 50" LCD again but I suppose I should probably just do it and check them again. Every time I have to remove a bigger one my heart rate doubles haha.

              Is 3v standard per LED?

              If so shouldn't I be seeing an output closer to 110V then and maybe my output voltage is low?

                      3V (actual 2.7V) is standard but there are some that use 6V with a super thick lens. 2.7V x 36 = 97V

                      You can also turn on the tv with the panel disconnected and watch the backlights flash or come on to figure out if they are lighting up.

                          ASUS ROG Strix G713QR - Keyboard, backlight and side LEDs don't work
                          by hollox123
                          Hello, I have an "ASUS ROG Strix G713QR" laptop, and for approx. 3 months I have the following problems:

                          1. Laptop keyboard doesn't work
                          2. The backlight on the laptop keyboard doesn't work
                          3. The x2 side LEDs (red) on the laptop don't work

                          The power button works, the touchpad works, and all the USB, HDMI, Ethernet, etc. ports work.

                          I already tried to reinstall all the drivers and reinstall Windows. So I don't know what to try anymore that is software-related.

                          But I am strongly aiming that it is somehow a BIOS-related problem,...

                          Panasonic LED TV TC-40A420U - Replaced Backlight LEDs but now no image/display or garbled
                          by signal.quest
                          I have a Panasonic LED TV TC-40A420U. The TV was given to me as an attempt to fix or throw out. I replaced the Backlight LEDs and now the screen lights up, but there is no image/display. If I play with the up/down buttons I can get the display to change from black to garbled. I can't get sound from HDMI but not sure of what input is selected. I have no remote control. When I connect a laptop to the HDMI ports it recognizes a Panasonic TV for display and sound output but I can't see or hear anything through the TV. This makes me think the mainboard is OK, but not sure if mainboard can...

                          TCL 65S403 Backlight LED Question
                          by tmhobadcap
                          I got the TV from a friend. He claims that no image but sound from the TV.
                          I confirmed that when shine a flashlight on to the screen, I can see the image. And this should be backlight problem.
                          I open up the TV and found a few leds failed. And now I am ordering a new set of backlight strips for it.

                          But there is something that I do not understand when checking the leds. I do not have an led tester. I only use a bench power supply. I first set the voltage to 3V and current to 10mA. I could not light up the led until I increase the voltage to 12V. I understand most...

                          Sharp LC-58Q7330U No Backlight
                          by Misterfixit
                          This set has the known reputation of failed led backlights. The set does not turn on, but when plugged in, the power led stays lit for about 5 seconds followed by two short blinks and then it repeats itself. While shinning a flashlight on the screen, you can make out the Sharp logo, then it goes out and repeats the cycle. I measured some voltages across the led backlight connector. What has me puzzled is that when I place the negative lead of my vom on the led backlight pin connector (in which the black wire going to the leds was), I measure as high as -228volts, and then it falls to -95 volts...

                          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...
