    Grundig 40VLE7131BF led strips doesn't light up

    Hi guys,
    I have one very old TV.
    Main problem I have with this tv is that led strips won't light.
    I measured voltage levels, and inverter input is 24V.
    other voltages are also ok.
    What I found is that removing and connecting again connector CN1 led strips lights for shorts time (but only once). When led strips lights up then light is uniformly spread on whole panel.
    First I thought that led strips are dead, but I'm quite sure that problem is not strips related.
    I don't know what voltage level is at output of inverter board (samsung SSL400_3E2A) and how to measure voltage of LED1, LED2, LED3 and LED4.
    Measuring inverter output for lines LED1...4 to the ground while CN3 is connected (steady state) gives voltage levels as below:
    1. LED1->GND = 10.98V
    2. LED2->GND = 2.83V
    3. LED3->GND = 10.98V
    4. LED4->GND = 2.83V
    5. VCC->GND = 5.4V

    Voltage level at inverter board input is very stable and at 24.6V (no matter is display flicker or in steady state - stay sable).
    On inverter board there is CN2 connector where I can see signals as follows:
    1. GND
    2. PWM
    3. 3D_ENA
    4. V_SYNC
    I suppose that PWM is for display panel brightness, V_Sync is some signal for synchronization. Of course I can not measure nothing there because I don't have equipment here.
    Is it possible that two stripes (LED2 and LED4) create this behavior of inverter board, or this is inverter feature (regarding voltage output)?
    One note is that during removing and inserting CN1 connector inverter voltage output changes so VCC jumps to 24V, then even 60V. I suppose that this is because transient state. After second or a little more every voltages come to mentioned values.
    I will be thankful for any help.
    Inverter board is quite cheap but I want to be sure, if possible of course, to not buy something which is not broken...
    Please find attached pictures of boards.

    Thanks in advance.

    Check your pins on the board for cracked joints.
    I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

      prolly bad backlights, compared to a lot of tvs it speaks very well that they lasted this long.

        Hello everyone,
        Just an update regarding led strips.
        After replacing led strips TV started working correctly.
        Thanks for helping me.

            Lithonia Lighting versus Light of America Compact Fluorescent product quality
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have a Lithonia Lighting 65-Watt Gray Hardwired Compact Fluorescent

            I also have back when Light of America had these light bulbs available for yard lights

            The issue with Light of America was the blast boards had all most certain board failure while bulbs hardly ever fail

            While the Lithonia lighting fixture has all most certain bulb failure

            So I have modified the Lithonia lighting fixture to accept the Light of America light bulb and see how long this will last

            I have only had this light fixture for not more than a year if it...

            HP Elitebook 845 G8 dead, only caps lock flashing 7 times. Charging light always on
            by esqmooo
            Hello everyone.

            This is my development machine. I've been using it since two years and half without any problem except sometimes it wouldn't wake up from sleep.
            Lately the issue became more frequent and powering it up would take few seconds to show the POST screen.
            Then the computer refuses to power on at all. Now only the caps lock button flashes 7 times then stops. The charging light is always on whenever a power source is connected (battery or charger).
            I tried long pressing on the power button, after several seconds it would go off then when the button is released...
