Re: Post your Samsung NU model series backlight failures and diffuser melt-downs here

UN48JS8500, MFD May 2015, repaired October 2020. Had no working backlight when I got the TV. Replaced the LED strips and had to dremel grind the blackened burn/melt marks on the diffuser. Has some issues with image but is a decent garage TV now. Would buy a diffuser if I could find one.
