Samsung UE55MU6400U Dark Vertical Strip

[safesurfer65]

Hi

Got a Samsung UE55MU6400U TV here with a dark vertical strip. I'm thinking its one of LED strips. Does it look like a LED strip fault and is it a tricky job ? I'm familiar with TV's but never disassembled a screen. See attached.

Cheers

Strange that its from top to bottom
Seems as though the set has 2 strips possible fitted top and bottom.
Perhaps the led driver is faulty.

Yes, same as Diah.. probably led gone short c., my brother has 49" version, after 1&1/2 year leds are not uniforms, so poor technology.. better to save money for local dimming sets.. they can't fail i think..

Lots of edge lit backlight failures on NU and I guess MU series now. Strips are on the bottom in left and right banks. Screwless back cover as well.
