Thanks for any help. Check the voltages on the connector to the backlight, and currents, if possible. You should eliminate problems there, first. You'll likely only be able to tell if the problem is with wiring or lamps inside the backplane area after dismantling. You should be prepared to replace the lamp strips at that time, because the longer it's disassembled, and the more times you repeat that operation, the more chance of damage in the process. Most sets won't let you see a dead lamp strip - just shutting down, which is most annoying. A lot of these things would be capable of running with multiple single led failures in their strips and no real difference in display quality . . . . . . but the designer thinks differently. A repair can often be made by simply jumpering the defective led with a suitable voltage dropping resistor or zener, but this is only something I'd do if replacement strips weren't on-hand. I had one set where a dead strip could be mimicked with a 10W power shunt on that line, without opening the thing up. Dispay was acceptible to the customer, so it went back with just that addition. Not a real fix and a symptom that all the lamps needed replacement, but sometimes quicker is better. RL |
