Re: Samsung UN65JS9500 / BN44-00818A - no LED backlight

Has anyone encountered problems with this board related to the optoisolators? the "EL1018" chips? My brother is doing the analysis, he thinks one of these is bad on my TV: the symptom prior to the backlight going out entirely was occasionally when the TV was turned on the backlight would "strobe" quickly... he's getting the part and will be able to replace it but just wondering of others have had this particular part fail on the BN44-00818a board....
