    Is this an LED problem or panel problem?

    Hi guys

    This TV has a dark spot on the screen.

    Would this be a panel issue or more likely an led issue?

          I vote panel failure, it's too isolated and too dark to be LED issue.

              Be interesting to see what's under the screen.

              I had an LA series by LG a few years back that had pretty much caught fire. By the time I got to the tv there was no picture. But when taking it apart I could imagine the picture may have looked similar to this had it still displayed an image.

              The panel itself had smoke and soot but it all just cleaned off and i was lucky to have an LN series donor TV that I could change over all the layers perfectly.

                Yes, I concur, it does look too large and dark to be LED failure and most TVs will turn off to protect themselves if there is LED failure.

                  its a backlight / diffuser issue. The LED(s) is that area likely got severely hot and darkened the diffuse film before they went out. The panel display elements appear to be still displaying image... if my eyes see the picture correctly. You likely need to replace the LEDs and the diffuser sheet.

                    budwich makes a good point, but wouldn't the TV to shut off if an LED failed like that? I'd also expect the soot to go straight up.

                    Doing the tcon "disconnect one side then the other side" trick might reveal if it's a panel problem too...

                      I would say it is a defective lcd panel, it may be damage from something pushing against it for a long time, if it was stored that way for example. but whatever it is, the panel will need to be disassembled. Then you will know for sure.
                      uh oh. now its taken a turn for the worse in the diagnostic department
                      let me guess, you cracked the panel.

                        Dispense with the suspense, tear it down and see what's up.

                            Nah I dont even have the tv. It is available for sale and i was wondering if it was worth the $50 I could probably get it for.

                            My comment was because someone said led issue and then it was said to be panel issue.

                                Go by size if it's less that 50, I wouldn't give m 50 bucks for it, no way in hell, then if it is panel failure you still have to go to the trouble of parting out to try to get your money back.

                                  I'm sorry.

                                  I'm trying not to waste any money on anything that isn't easily fixable.

                                  I have found another. I suspect this is led issue but it looked strange that it is just down the middle of the screen?

                                  What do you think about this one? I'm sorry I don't have a model number or anything.

                                  Is TCL a good brand for a smart tv?

                                    LED strips can be arranged vertically instead of horizontally. TCL is a budget Chinese brand. Is that wavy pattern at the bottom part of the image?

                                      So if thats the case, this tv has a faulty line of led's plus another single on the left hand side?

                                      Is that wavy pattern at the bottom part of the image?
                                      I assume it is partof the picture as another photo of it doesnt have it. (see pic)

                                      This is a 65" smart tv is all I know

                                        I think you are better off with this one, looks like it needs the strips replaced if they are running vertically, sure looks like they are, not a real simple job by no means but can be done with proper precautions, maybe check youtube tutorials, MUST be careful with the panel they are flimsy and VERY easy to break, suction cups are a good tool for this type job.

                                          Hi everyone,

                                          I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

                                          🛠 Original Issue
                                          The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
                                          Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

                                          I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

                                          Samsung UN65TU8000 - Panel Issue [ hole in ribbon cable ]
                                          by NWArkGuy
                                          Well, I will be the first to admit that I screwed up...

                                          In attempting to replace the backlight in a UN65TU8000, I made a hole through one of the ribbon cables between the board that runs along the bottom of the back of the TV and the panel. This lead to a between a 1/4 to 1/2 inch vertical stripe running the full height of the image.

                                          I don't have the experience; personally, to solder a bridging wire for the paths that were cut. So, I have been on the hunt for other Samsung TV's of similar size.

                                          I have 2 that I have found and have in my possession. ...

                                          Good morning,
                                          I have a problem with Lenovo T580, which after error code 0288 suggests a problem with the display. I checked the display and it works on another laptop. I replaced the display cable with a new one. I programmed another BIOS (downloaded from this forum) and I still have the problem of a dead display - there is an image via HDMI, and the system does not detect the built-in LCD at all. The problem appears to be hardware. What can I check to confirm or disprove this? I found many threads on the Internet related to this problem 0288, but without specific solutions. Please advise....

                                          Hi

                                          The TV seem to start ( blinking green) but goes into blinking red. No display and or backlight. Full view photo.

                                          Actions :

                                          1. Disconnected Panel's Right, 2nd, board : TV comes ON (steady green , no blinking red )
                                          1a. You can see in two photos the B/W screen , fading blue "HDMI12" , and the wierd sides of the image, like an old CRT.
                                          Obviously the fault is from or on the Right, secondary board

                                          2. I taped the Flex tracks, ~2 tracks at a time- see Photo. The issue seems to be on the V lines (Assuming Data...

                                          I've been seeing a lot of the new TVs (samsung and LG only i think) maybe 1-2 years old suffering from sudden panel death and have been over 50% successful bringing them at least most of the way back to functionality if not all the way, with the tape masking of the LVDS pins method.
                                          add this one to the list. the issue was on the left side of the panel and i ended up blocking just 3 pins on the connector that joins the two panel boards that make up the left side of the panel (it has 4 boards total) i didnt get the picture back to 100% perfect. i spent hours fiddling with which pins to block...
