Ok, I have a solder gun but I need solder wire.

Okay guys sorry for the wait...
The seller I bought the first set of strips from tried to send me replacements but they got lost during shipping.
I got a refund and bought another pair, but one of the plugins came disconnected from the LED strip during packaging I assume.
I really don't want to go through another waiting period of sending these back and getting new ones replaced and I don't want to spend money on anymore.
Couldn't I just solder it back on ? If so, what kind of soldering gun kit could I buy from Amazon to do it with ?...Leave a comment:

Seller wants me to pay him $10 to ship me replacements.Leave a comment:

I think both, I think the tension was too much for the weak solder. That wiring was pretty tight.
Yeah I'm just going to get replacements and get some slack on the wiring.Leave a comment:

Yes these are from the new ones. I think the solders were very poor quality.
You think I can get them to get me a replacement ?? That would be great so I don't have to spend money on another set....Leave a comment:

I got the TV taken apart again. The plugins that were attached to the new LED strips got ripped off because of the tight wires.
I'm going to order some new ones and when I install those, I'm going to remove the tape from the LED strip wires throughout the chassis until I can get slack on the wires and tape them down again.Leave a comment:

Should I run anymore tests before tearing the TV down again to see if the LEDs are unplugged behind the panel ?Leave a comment:

I'm positive I connected the LED strips to the LED connector behind the panel. But the wires were tighter than when I initially unplugged them from the original LED strips. Seeing how I can't get the LEDs on with the tester from those wires disconnected from the power board and power board unplugged from a power outlet, I assume they came unplugged at the LED strips behind the panel somehow flipping and rearranging the TV.....Leave a comment:

Doing so, the lights do not power on and voltage stays at 300 on the tester....Leave a comment:

OK I have everything put back together.
Before putting the back cover on, I wanted to plug it up and turn it on to see the new LED strips light up with them connected to the power board.
At first I forgot to reconnect the ribbon cables at the t-con board that connect to the main board, but the lights powered on when I powered on the TV and stayed on for about 5-10 seconds then shut off.
I reconnected the ribbon cables to the t-con board thinking that was the problem, but that wasn't it either.
I haven't been able to get the LEDs to power on again...Leave a comment:

The new LED strips came in today.
Here's what the bulb looks like and they seem to have tape or adhesive on them as well.

New LED strips scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I managed to tear down the TV and test and remove the two LED strips in it. Some work, some are dim and some don't work at all...
The problem I'm having is definitely being caused by the bad LED strips....Leave a comment:

Understood. I'll start tearing things down when the LEDs come close to getting here, which will probably be next week or so....Leave a comment:

Understood. I'm learning here, I didn't want to lean on the TV to get to the LED connector.
The TV is propped up on my office couch, making it hard to get to the connectors without having to lean on the TV. ...Leave a comment:

I'm going to call it bad LED strips from here. I ordered the eBay LED strips and two double suction cups from Amazon that'll be delivered today. I guess I can begin teardown later on this evening.Leave a comment:
