Re: Please Help with LG 55LS4500. DARK SHADOW ON SCREEN
I got it completely disassembled, managed to successfully remove the lcd without breaking it. I found a complete set of leds on ebay, with matching part #s. It lists for a different tv model but the actual led assemblies have matching part #s. Got both sides for $79 with free shipping. Thanks for all the help guys, now to wait on the delivery guy.

Re: Please Help with LG 55LS4500. DARK SHADOW ON SCREEN
I saw those on ebay but wast sure if they were the right ones, or if that was the left or right side....or if it even matters.
I know my next tv will not be a lg, this one is only a couple years old. Nothing lasts long anymore....

Re: Please Help with LG 55LS4500. DARK SHADOW ON SCREEN
No I was under the impression I could order the LEDs with the lcd panel #. I reassembled the TV so I can use it until I have the parts. While it seems the parts are nearly impossible to find I may just have to buy a new TV. It works fine except for the shadow ,but I can't stand looking at it. I can find leds for dang near every tv ever made except this one. If I completely disassemble the TV and get to the leds I will be out of a TV for days to months until I find parts...kinda stuck I guess.

Re: Please Help with LG 55LS4500. DARK SHADOW ON SCREEN
Ok opened it up , Lcd panel # is LC550EUE. BUT I can't seem to find the backlight strips for sale anywhere. ShopJimmy.com has 2 strips listed (but out of stock) However it has SEF1 following the above listed part # so I'm not sure if it's the right one. Here is a pic of the panel label, maybe someone can help me find the LED assemblies....

Thanks, you all have been a big help. I'll give it a go and see what I find. I need to devise a way to carefully lift a 55in. Piece of thin glass without it flexing to the point of breaking. The video the guy just lifted it off, but mine will be quite a bit larger.

Re: Please Help with LG 55LS4500. DARK SHADOW ON SCREEN
I will have to get those numbers tomorrow when I tear it down. Once I have the numbers...What source do you experts use for parts? I'm hoping ebay is not my only choice, as they don't have many parts for my TV listed right now. There are some edge led assemblies on there now, but for different model TVs.

Re: Please Help with LG 55LS4500. DARK SHADOW ON SCREEN
Thanks I watched the videos. I can do that (providing I don't break the glass with it being so big). I really hope I can find replacement parts fast after I tear it apart. I was hoping this fault was common and someone could tell me what part to order right away. (Less TV down time). But like I said ShopJimmy.com doesn't even sell the led parts for this model.

As far as taking readings...I'm kinda what I refer to as a "parts changer". I can disassemble any TV and swap parts out, just not versed in taking readings on normal parameters.

Re: Please Help with LG 55LS4500. DARK SHADOW ON SCREEN
Yeah the screen does get very dim with the backlight set at 1 but you can still see the shadow.
Where can I buy the led strips if that turns out to be the problem.
I went on ShopJimmy.com and they don't list any replacement leds for the 55ls4500.
Is there a way to cross reference parts that will work or a better site to look for them?

Re: Please Help with LG 55LS4500. DARK SHADOW ON SCREEN
You can still see it with backlight on 1. Here is a pic just now of it when
It first comes on.. No shadow.. then 3 seconds. Later it appears.
Well you can kinda see it start to form. It took a sec. For my camera to take the pic....Last edited by Cgreen; 08-25-2016, 12:23 PM.

Please Help with LG 55LS4500. DARK SHADOW ON SCREEN
Hey new to this forum, but active member of several automotive forums.
Can someone please tell me the source of this problem that started about 3 days ago. It is a 55 in LG model #55LS4500 it has developed a horizontal shadow in the middle right side of the screen. There is still a picture in the area it is just darker, shadowed.
I have repaired several tvs in the past . Mostly caps,dlp chips and t-con boards. But I don't know where to start troubleshooting this one.
The odd thing is when I first turn the TV on the shadow is not there, then approx. 3 seconds later the screen...
