    Sceptre X505BV-FMDR - Found Bad LED

    Been trying to fix this TV for some time. I tried a replacement power supply and main board but I still had power to the tv (the blue led bulb lit), sound, but no picture.

    I finally opened it up to test the LED strips. I did this with my multimeter and popping off the lenses to test them (I've since realized this wasn't a great idea) I found a single LED bulb out and perhaps 1 that was dim.

    Would a single failed LED cause the entire backlight to not work?

    I did receive advice that I could "short circuit" an LED and just move that strip to the bottom and it would be barely noticeable. I'm not sure how to go about this.

    Does anybody happen to have any LEDS for this TV? DLED50SJ5X14 0001.A-1

    Yes a single LED can cause the entire backlight to not work.
    The LED will be either 3v or 6v and is identified by it's dimensions.
    Also note the correct anode and cathode position.

      Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll need to track down an led strip for it. At first glance I see 1 on ebay for $30 unless I can figure out to short that defective one out.
