Re: 42LE4500 Backlight Turns Off Fault Confirmed !

I'm quite confident that I've nailed the reason for random backlight shutdown on my 42LE4500 (was a customer's set but they decided to buy a new set after a discussion on the possible cost of repair).
One of the eight LED strips was responsible,despite there being no distinguishable difference in brightness intensity to the other seven strips. The set's been running fault free long enough now to convince me that all's well. At least until another LED strip starts playing up!
Hope you crack yours soon (not literally!)....

Please forgive me if I'm breaking protocol by replying here. This is my first post to this VERY useful forum.
I've had one of these sets hugging the bench for far too long now but now I think I might have a runner. As reported by many others the set may provide reliable operation for a couple of days(or more?) then the backlights shut down, usually after start up, or shortly after. I initially went over the PSU and green sub pcb and carried out some reflowing. No change, so I consulted this Site and found a testimonial...
