    LG 50Lf6090 only backlights after replacing LED strips

    I have an LG 50LF6090-UB that had a picture but started flashing on and off. Tested the LED strips and it had several bad LED's. Replaced the LED strips and turned the TV on and it only had the backlights on. Researched the issue and purchased a TCON board online. This did not fix the issue. Researched again and purchased a Main board on line. This didn't fix the issue either. The only thing now is that the backlights turn on as soon as I plug in the tv without touching the power button. Any help to identify the problem would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Sounds like you damaged the panel since you should have seen an image with the backlights flashing before. TV will remember the last state it is in when unplugged so will turn on automatically in this case. You can try connecting one side of the ribbon at a time between the tcon and panel to see if one side displays an image.

      Unplug one side of the screen at a time see if there’s a picture
      Check all connections too for damaged connections on all lvds cables

        Thank you for the information. I appreciate it. When I unplug one of the LCD panels from the TCON board, one side is white and the other one showed the LG screen and then part a box to make a selection. It was very clear. I plugged it back in and unplugged the other one. one screen was white and the other had some vertical and horizontal lines and had the other side of the of the selection box but it was not as clear and it looked like it was rolling like it needed a vertical hold on the old tv sets. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

          May have cracked corner of panel. Check for shorts on the long board connected to panel. Compare voltages between both sides. Inspect closely for damage. Something got screwed up upon assembly.
          I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

            About replacing individual LEDS on BL strips
            by edugimeno
            Hi There!
            Having fixed 5-6 TV sets by replacing full LED strips, and having watched other people fix that by replacing just one LED in the strip, my question now is what should I consider before doing so.

            At this time I have some old strips removed from TV's with all but one LED working. Are there different voltage/current LED on different strips? Are 99% of them just the same and interchangeable?

            How do you find which specific model is needed for each strip? When I check if a LED is OK by attaching the multimeter leads to the individual led pads on the strips I...

            Replacing backlights in Vizio V755-J04
            by x_orange90_x
            I've had this monster for several months as I've hesitated to order backlights for it. Finally did order them and they are due to arrive tomorrow. Besides having ample space to work, are there any recommendations for working on such a massive screen? Should I remove the panel by myself or would 2 people be a better choice? I bought the double-cup suction cups from Harbor Freight and have been using them for the last few repairs on smaller screens. They are far superior to the single cup orange ones I used previously that would often let go without warning 😱.

            I have not replaced...

            LED problem on samsung UE55F6475, 2 strips work. The rest is flashing every second.
            by Kingfreddie
            Ok.. this is the story:
            Have an old Samsung LED 3D TV (UE55F6475). First it started to lose light on the lower 40% of the screen now and then. Like for 10-60 mins and then it would work again. Then a bit later it just got stuck in that position. The lower 40% of the screen is dark, and it gets progressively darker the lower u go so it's obviously that LED strips where not working. I also looked for similar errors online and saw an exact copy and on that one it was faulty LED strips.

            This is kinda how it looked, just that mine were at the bottom of the screen:

            Replacing Backlights on 85” Samsung
            by Storyteller12
            This Samsung tv I'm trying to replace backlights on has COF tabs on the top and bottom of the panel.
            I don't have room to lay the screen flat down. Usually I stand the screen up against the wall. I'm afraid to do that with this one and damage one of the tabs.

            Anyone done this before?...

            but the tv appeas to turn on and i can hear the sound of the menus moving and clicking. i can power down the tv with the button.
