Re: LG 47LN575V suspect bad LEDS - what spec LEDS can I replace with?

Bought the kit, found I actually had 2 LEDs dead - one was failed open, the other closed. TV now working great again, so thanks!

Only very minor gripe with the kit is that the supplied flying leads weren't long enough - I needed another inch or so on the negative lead to reach a suitable solder/test point (the -ve trace close enough to the LED was really thin, but a few inches along was huge). I just had to solder a bit of extra wire on, so no real problem.

The only other issue I have...

Well... good lord. That's an incredibly precise, to the point and helpful reply.

I'd had a quick look on ebay for the strips, but didn't realise someone had created such a quick and easy kit.

Thanks!

Hi all.
My LG 47LN575V decided to die last night. Suddenly went black but sound carried on. Trying to turn off/on see a brief flash of the 'LG' logo bootup screen then back to black screen.

TV is ~3 years old.

The 'flashlight' test reveals the picture IS still there, so it's definitely related to the backlight, and my research indicates these are very prone to this being caused by LED failure.

Now, I've read up and found a few videos about checking these LEDS - either by testing the whole strip with a 24V source or by checking LEDs individually...

Hi! I've found this forum whilst trying to work out what's wrong with my LG TV, and whether I can fix it for sensible amounts of money...

I'm a software developer by trade, but like to try my hand at stuff. my soldering skills suck IMO, but I've successfully brought various things back to life by replacing dodgy caps so I guess I'm not completely useless
