    70" LG TV Backlight turns off

    I have a 70" LG 4k TV. The model is 70UH6350-UB.BUSMLJR
    I got it from someone who said it started to turn off on its own. When I got it, it worked fine for around 3 hours, then the backlight went out. You can still hear the sound and I did the flashlight test on the display and it was still working as well, so it was evident that the backlights went out.
    I thought it would be a bad LED, so I successfully opened up the TV, got the LEDs, tested one by one with an LED tester, and they all work just fine, there was nothing wrong with them, all showed the same voltage. So I cleaned the connections all around as I put it back, hoping for some reason it would work or something, but sure enough when I turned it on, it only worked for a few minutes and then the backlights went out again. I had accidentally burned out the power supply as I was doing some testing (whoops, I know) so I replaced with a new one from a trusted ebay seller and the same problem was there, so it can't be the power supply. It's not the LEDs since I tested them. I don't believe it would be the t-con board since ot looks like I have no problems with the display. So I'm thinking it may be the main board, since it has the LED driver I think. I wanted to replace the main board but the only one out there that is being sold is by someone on ebay for $350, and I'm not about to pay that.
    Any thoughts? Any help?

    My vote still goes to a defective/leaky LED....

      How could I single it out if so?

        Turn the backlights down as much as possible (not brightness or contrast) and see if the backlights stay on longer. If they do then it would point to an led problem.
        A led tester is useful but only supplies a low current so faulty/intermittent leds can be missed.

          I just turned the backlights down to 0 and the backlights turned off within a few minutes. I turned the tv off, then on again and the backlights turned off within 20 seconds, then within 10 seconds the next 2 times. I left it off for a few minutes, turned it back on and they stayed on for about 8 minutes and just turned off again. I tried again and it lasted for 2 minutes.
          I would just replace the backlights to try, but NO ONE is selling these backlights :/
          Also, I would replace the singular bad LEDs if I could find them, but I can't tell exactly the type of LED that are on there.

              Nice! I just hope it's compatible

                Now I'm trying to see if I can fix the power supply board that I messed up. So I used the LED tester on the LED connections while all the wires were connected and the tv was connected to the outlet. I heard a noise when I put in the LED tester pins on two of the pins from the LED wires. The power supply stopped transferring power. What do you think I may have fried? What would I have to replace, what can I check?

                  Post some photos of your power supply and a close up around the led driver IC.

                  I would initially check all the 0 ohm resistors in that area.

                  Edit
                  Can you compare the resistance of each of the driver transistors Q807 to Q812. Perhaps one is damaged.

                    Yes, I actually found one that looks blown, I added a picture of it. I bought the new 103 SMD chip resistor and I'm going to replace it. Hopefully that's the only thing I need to replace

                      Have you compared Q810 resistance against the others to check that if it's not faulty.
                      What is the part number of Q810

                        LG L192WS-BN backlight turns off after 1 second
                        by www
                        I am testing an old LG L192WS-BN monitor I have that gives an image, but has a backlight issue. When you turn it on the backlight turns on 1 second and it turns off, turns on again, 1 second and it turns off and stays off. Using a flashlight I can see there's still an image.

                        I replaced a bulged cap on the main board, but made no difference. I also got another exact same model monitor that has a broken ccfl (the connector got ripped from the panel and the main screen connector is also broken so I can't use this panel to test), tried using the main board from this one, same issue....

                        A1466 MacBook Air 13" 2017 Backlight issue works but then turns off
                        by Stephen
                        Hello, got a weird MacBook Air here
                        board looks fresh and no water damage, backlight works and turns on and stays on when installing OS etc. However, when the os is installed and when the system files are loaded before the login page the backlight goes out. I have wiped it, NVRAM reset, etc and even took some other instances and this blows my mind, never seen this before. Backlight just turns off once the OS is loaded. Anyone come across this and if so what would be the cause? I am certain its a board issue since I tested the LCD on another board and it stays on. Again the backlight works...

                        Philips 40 PUK6809/12 Backlight turns off after 10-20 seconds
                        by alpersen
                        Hello
                        Mother called and said TV turns off after switching on. So after turning on Philips logo shows and probably 10-20 seconds image disappears, sat receiver is connected and sound is heard from source. So I turned on my phones light and I can see the image it seems backlight was off after some time. I dis assembled the cover hoping to see a distinc cap blown or leakage. Here are photos I took (I was after 22:00 pm and maybe some of them are dark). Should I order and change caps on the power circuit or what would you recommend? Thanks...

                        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...

                        LG 32LG3000 TV, three red light flashes, then the backlight turns on, but no picture
                        by ItepK
                        Hello everyone! I've found this television, and I began troubleshooting it.

                        First, the television kept rapidly power cycling. I've warmed up the capacitors with a hairdryer, and after 3 dimmed red blinks, the backlight turned on, then turned dim, and no picture was present on the screen.

                        I believed that this was caused by a bad power supply producing insufficent power (I've measured 3.5v on the 5.2v rail), so I've blindly recapped the board.

                        After the recapping, all the voltages stableized, however, the issue in the title still remains.

                        I could...
