My experience with this was finding a TV in the flats bin room that was made
by a well known Turkish company (Vestel).
 
Apparently LED failure is one of a long list of stock
faults.....................................
 
Unfortunately I cracked the LCD panel putting it back together, but I
learned a fair bit from the excercise.
 
Each LED had a plastic lens extruded on, I had to melt these with a
soldering iron to peel them off. The iron wouldn't shift the SMD LEDs.
 
It took a modeler's pencil blowtorch to shift the dud LED chips, after that
I used a small roll of emery paper to clean off some solder resist and
attach some power LEDs I had to hand.
 
You can re-touch the PCB around the replaced LEDs with correction fluid.
 
If its a Vestel - you'll probably find a few more LEDs that tested OK have
given up..............................

This is the video I watched, it's for a 47" LG, mines 50", I don't have the
space to work like that and wouldn't feel confident dismantling the screen
anyway.
Local shop say they'll look at it and give me an estimate so that's probably
what I'll do, thing is this TV is only 2 years old and the same fault may
recur. I've decided to buy a 55" Sony with 5 year warranty and giving the
LG to a family member if they want to pay for the repair.

I would expect there to be an isolation diode between the battery and
the AC adapter's power. I can think of three possibilities:
 
1. The diode is shorted, so power from the AC adapter is ruining the
backup battery.
 
2. There is a leaky electrolytic capacitor on the battery side of the
diode. Check current draw from the battery with the AC adapter
disconnected.
 
3. The AC adapter has failed, so the device is being powered entirely
from the battery. Does it work with the battery removed?

Thanks for the reply. Wrt to 3) the battery provides for retaining the
user-specified configuration (outgoing message, current time/date, etc)
in memory in case of an AC power outage; the unit still requires the AC
adapter to operate with or without a battery installed. Without a
battery (or too low a battery) the unit will reset to its out-of-the-box
defaults following an AC power interruption. Just like a lot of those
bedside LED alarm clocks with battery-backup. Sincerely,
