Re: RCA LED television trouble

I really appreciate all the input. I feel the same way. there's gotta be a way to fix it and not necessarily expensive, either. I'm just not knowledgeable in electronics. Anyway I will try it and hopefully I'll be able to tap into all the knowledge in this forum.
I'll start with the bright light on the screen. I'm sure I have image but I'll check it again.
Thank you for all your help.
BTW anybody in north east PA?
As for the rhetorical question about Phillips, I can't post the answer.

Re: RCA LED television trouble

Well. I took the TV to a repair shop. The gentlemen who owns it seemed very experienced and upfront with me.
After a couple of days he called me to tell me he did not think it was worth fixing it. He explained that one or more LEDs are burnt out. He told me he tested it and got one side (half) of the panel to come on.
He explained that the panel would have to be replaced and if we could even find it, it would be expensive. He thought those panels were no longer made.
His estimate to fix it was around $200, again, if we could even...

Thank you Dick Barton.
This will take a while. I'll have to find me a meter. I'm not into all this stuff so I don't own tools. I'm not afraid to try and fix stuff, either.
I just don't wan to throw away a three year old TV. My option is to take it to a repair shop if I fail in my quest.

Re: RCA LED television trouble

Here are pictures of the back of the TV and panels. I just replaced the power board (on the right)....

Re: RCA LED television trouble

Thank you, R J.
I just replaced the power board so I hope it is good.
I will get pictures and post them.

I have a three year old 55" RCA TV. Model # LED55G55R120Q. I have no image. I also lost sound but I replaced the power board and now I have sound but still no image.
When I shine a flashlight near the screen I can see images so I think the back lights are not working. I'd like to replace the panel that controls the LED lights but I don't know which panel does that.
Besides the power panel I see two other panels in the back. One is model # RE55R011-A1. The other is model # 55120RE01M3393LNA35-C1 and all the accessory plug ins are in it.
Any idea which of these boards controls...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello. I joined this forum hoping to learn a bit about fixing my TV.
Otherwise I know nothing of electronics, very little about computers but I'm not afraid to learn new stuff.
Oh, by the way I'm a retired architect, 73 years young.
Hope to learn a lot from all you guys.
