As a person who has already done this you don't need to do half the stuff this guy is doing. 1. No need to buy suction cups, place screen face down on a towel let it rest there instead of trying to lift screen. 2. No need to hammer and chisel the strips off they just pull off if you do it with care keeping your hand close to where you pull. 3. Unless all of your strips / LED's are burnt out i wouldn't be replacing the entire strip(s). They are quite expensive to buy and you are not guaranteed they are new, and if second hand you don't know how many hours are on them. The cheapest way is to buy individual LED's from Ebay or Amazon costing cents and replacing them. They are easy enough to replace with a soldering iron. I have done this on exact LG in video and replaced 8 burnt LED's, Job done.
Just curious once you have the LEDs in plain view how do visually know which ones are bad? This guy replaced all of them in the video. Should I just assume they're all bad?
@@memphistiger4647 a lot of the time the LED will be discolored, not usual yellow. And the ones that are burnt out will have a black spot or mark somewhere on diode. Best way is to test with a LED tester. Cheap on EBay or Amazon then replace individual LED’s which are also cheap. If you try to buy complete strip then it will end up being very expensive especially if only one or 2 LED’s burnt out on strip. All depends how long you want fix to last. Might have same issue with other LED’s over time but to get it working that is the way to go. Having brightness of backlight up to 100% causes this issue especially if TV isn’t that old.
My TV started to flicker on and off the other morning. After dealing with LG Support, I got on RUclips to see if I could figure out my problem. I came upon this video and decided I would give it a shot. When I received my new LEDs, I noticed the + and - markings on the new ones were different than the markings on mine. I contacted Shop Jimmy to inquire about the difference as I did not want to fry my TV. Shop Jimmy assured me the strips were correct and that the plugs would need a little extra pressure to install them on to the new strips. I proceeded with the install and my TV now works like a brand new one. Thanks Shop Jimmy for your product, video, and your professional support team. FYI my TV was a LG model 60LB6500-UP.
I was given a 55" LG with the picture flashing on and off. Dismantled it per your video and found 36 of 55 of the backlight LEDs burned out. Replaced all the strips with new ones from Shop Jimmy and now I have an "almost free" 55" TV. Set the backlight to 73% to hopefully prevent future burnouts! Thanks for your concise videos and great parts selection!
That's what I wanted to know, I got a free 50 inch, the light strips flicker, pulled apart, found a few blown leds, I'm guessing by your comment that replacing these will fix it? Or at least it did yours?
I just repaired my LG 55" by using this site and this video. Thanks! Symptoms - noticed dark spot fluctuating in intensity in top right of tv. This happened for a few days until the tv started to turn off and on in a continuous loop. I decided to replace all of the LED's because this is what I noticed FIRST before the power cycling and because this is a known issue with this LG model, according to various internet search results. I watched the entire video first. Then, I followed the video step by step, pausing before proceeding to the next step. The wire connectors/jumpers did not have the same fit as on the original LED strips. I used a standard screwdriver to GENTLY but forcibly push the connector into place on the new led strips. Suggestions: Watch your fingers when removing the back of the TV, mine has extremely SHARP edges in places and will slice into your fingers. Get the suction cups and the tape. Make sure you have PLENTY of room. Use a blanket for protecting the screen/table (not a thick quilt). If you are able to work on a table, this will save your back and your knees. Wash your hands before touching the filters. Get a few small containers to hold the screws and fasteners. The filter bezel clips were delicate on my tv. I broke 1 because I hulked out, be careful with these. I replaced the strips 1 entire row at a time. I think all but 3 lenses popped off the old strips while removing them so I don't recommend doing this with small children or animals around due to possible choke hazard, make sure you account for each one if you do have children or pets. The old lenses look like they could be used for some artsy fartsy craft project so give them to your grandma or some old person ;)
Great video. I had 2 tables set up with blankets though and flipped the lcd face down on the blanket after i got all the circuit boards loose and lifted the backlight assembly off since i didnt have sx cups. AND it seemed likely for me to break something lifting it and flopping it around. replaced the leds on table 2 and flipped it back.
I have applied every step here, with great care (as much as I could) I have taken the risk of removing the LCD panel which is the most expnsive and fragile part in the assembly. It's not very easy to remove every connector as well, especially the panel driver connector is very sensitive too. There are so many screws and all sorts of clips and one must be very careful to remove them without damagnig the TV. I have used a smaller set of vacuums to hold the LCD but they did the job (still paying great attention while holding the LCD panel)... Hint: this LG model of mine, claims that its LCD is immune to mechanical crashes, so I was hoping that bending during panel removal won't cause a problem... So many levels, very tiring, it took about 4 hours for me. (one hour for just one defective screw!) At the end of the day, I have managed to replace one line of leds which was defective... Thank you sir for this extremely helpful guide. .. *UPDATE:* four months ago I have replaced one row of 2 LED bars (A and B type), and commented the result. Now, last month another LED strip from the remaining bars also burnt... :-(. This was expected, but not so soon, the time was somewhat shortened due to the Corona virus stay-home full time TV netflix watching... :-) So, this time I decided to replace the whole set of 10 bars. Last week I bought 5 rows (10 bars) of new LEDs. Reopened the TV and replaced all the bars. One thing I observed was that the defective bar was connected to the renewed bar. Note that among 5 rows, upper two were connected in series and the lower three were connected separately in series. So the new and old bar connection in the upper part failed before the lower three older bars. This supports the fact that renewing just one bar (or one led) among older ones, impose more strain on the remaning bars and kill them faster than otherwise. So it's better to replace them all together unless something else was necesary. It was extremely tiring again. The internal frame that holds white polarizor screening really was a headache. Also moving the LCD panel was a thrill too. Indeed one of the vacuum cups broke during the panel removal but I was lucky as the drop height was less than half a foot. But then I had to find another (safer) approach to remove the LCD screen, not relying on suction cups. Slightly pull the LCD panel aside without scratching and bending it. Note that this model of LG TV claims to have a scratch and hit immune LCD coating. It was demonstrated to me when I decided to buy it. The seller hit the screen with his palm and said that this IPS panel was strong enough to survive children filled house accidents! Anyway. At the end of the day I managed it. But there was a disaster ! In the first trial I have forgotten to connect one cable on the last LED bar! The TV didn't work OMG !!! I almost gone crazy!! but then I re-opened the TV and found that I forgot to connect the LED bar connector at the lowest bar !!! OMG I was happy but very tired! You know. I do not suggest this LG TV. It's overall a good TV but first its LED lighting strategy is wrong which burns then at 4 to 5 years! Furthermore, the white-screen is not fully uniform in brightness and there are ghost shadows on the screen when a white background shows up, especially when it moves fast enough the gost shadow pattern becomes painly visible. I do not suggest this TV because of this. But the functionality of the TV is quite good. It connects very well with computers, ADSL box and other devices. Its built in satellite decoder is also working fine, despite being slow in channel seek...
This was super helpful! Just finished repairing a 49” one. It wasn’t exactly like the one in the video, but pretty much there. Took me a couple of hours but not too complicated. Patience and care is all you need.
I just fixed my 55" LG with this tutorial, just cost me 20 euros! Thank you!! Took a few hours, because did not want to break anything 😅 but it was well worth it!
The first TV I fixed was my 65 inch 4k Smart TV I got for free from someone who said only the bottom strip of lights worked, me being new to this didn't care and wanted to try it out, got new LED strips, and 11 hours and taking it apart 3 times later, I got it, don't know how I didn't break it. Forgot the piece of cardboard inside that I used to help get the screen out, so had to take it apart the second time, then had to take it apart a third time because there was a small piece of tape on one of the ribbon cables to the t-con board and so half the screen was flickering and discolored until I took the piece of tape off allowing the first few pins to reconnect, lol. It was a nightmare, but it was fun
I was about to buy a new tv before I found this video. Thank you for sharing this. It was super helpful. Really easy to follow and note my tv is working like new and the only cost was $45 on amazon for the parts.
Just installed the new leds on the same TV your doing and wow was it pain in the ASS . But thankfully it works now and hopefully it does not break again. Thanks for the video .
So glad I found this video,as I am attempting to replace the LEDs on my LG 55lb650v tv this Friday , excited to try doing this myself, but also nervous,but if I'm able to do it myself,then I'll save myself a lot of money in the future if my TV's go wrong .
Thank you ShopJimmy! I just reconnected my LG47LB5800 and it works again! [40+ SBF] I ordered the LED strips and double sided tape from ShopJimmy. The suction cups and 5-in-1 tool were out of stock, got those from Amazon. One additional suggestions take a photo of how the wires are connected as well as the proper order for the strips. Also use a lightweight tape to keep the filters together.
This was incredibly thorough and extremely helpful. I am very thankful for finding this video. Thank you for showing us how to fix our tvs ourselves instead of overpaying and relying on others.
Great video. I'm fairly technical, but would never have just dug in and tried to replace the LEDs without this video. I got 3 of these TVs and they all have the purple screen, so I'm hoping this does the trick!
Thanks, dude. Just did this on my 60UJ634V. Mostly the same procedure. The picture got darker and darker and more blue on mine. It started with it showing up blue when I took photos of the screen with my phone. After replacing the LEDs, its brighter and whiter than I could even remember.😁
Just did this was super easy if you just follow directions. I didn’t have suction cups either I just carefully lifted the screen out making sure not to bend it. What do you have to lose? If you do lose your tv is apart and you can sell the motherboard and all the components that still work on eBay and make yourself some cash!!
I ordered from this website and fixed my tv just like in this video. Thank you for the video, I really appreciate being able to fix my stuff and not have to buy a replacement. Thank you Thank you!!!
Such a simple problem like a couple of bad led strips and such a long and drawn out and fiddly process to replace them, the person who invented the LED television should be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
It wouldn't be a problem if they used alumnium strips with thermal paste to diffuse heat and prevent the leds from cooking to death. They use glass fiber strips and put zero measures to prevent overheating, literally building screens to die out in a few years.
Yes you are absolutely right. The right the early models would cost so much. My 55 inch stopped 2 years. Repaired once for almst 1/3rd cost, but just lasted for six months. Since I stopped watching tv. Thanks for this video, I shall give it a try soon.
Maybe they didn't show that in the video but I am sure that they did test it afterwards and I'll bet the television didn't work, so the technician had to do everything all over again.
Your video helped me fix my 43um LG TV. I did break a few brackets in the bezel while prying the back cover off but it all get together firmly enough. Many thanks!
Thanks for uploading this I’m going to try and replace the LED back lights on my LGTV tomorrow. The only thing I would say is, wouldn’t it make sense to unclip those pins before you flip the TV over so that you don’t have to flip it back again once the screen is loose…? Thanks 😊
What an awesome straight to the point no bull video, did it on our 47" LGTV.... Thanks, saved us some money there, took over an hour, and great fun too, thanks!
Got my ShopJimmy replacement strips in for my LG 55LB5550, I simply mimicked the person in the video and everything went smoothly. The TV has only been running for an hour so no telling how long they'll last but it looks great so far! Glad to see they were not OEM or pulls, they're completely different, which is great because so many people have had problems with the OEM I think they're fundamentally flawed. The OEM wires and connectors won't work on these so be sure to use the included connectors. Awesome video, awesome replacement strips so far!
Worked like a charm in repairing a free TV I found on Craigslist list. Not half as intimidating as it originally seemed. Before we attached the new LED strips we put the reflector sheet back down to mark where they should be for the new ones. Might be a worthwhile idea
I sent my TV (LG 42LB65) to be fixed by an LG-certified repair center here in Egypt. The backlight strips were replaced, but instead of bright white spots, there are slightly dark spots, which can be noticed in video games with large bright uniform scenes. In other words, my problem was mitigated, not completely resolved. When I called the maintenance shop, they told me this is due to the fact that the components of my TV (especially the power supply) are old. I bought the TV, as far as I remember, on 2/2/2015, making the TV over 8 years old at the time of repairing (late May 2023). The weird thing is that the sightly dark spots are there despite the backlight being very very bright. Moreover, on some contents colors seem to be "washed out"; too much pale color on the screen, especially RUclips videos. Several technicians I know tell me different things, but most notably that it might be an issue with the quality of the LED backlight strips. The strips I installed are not a genuine kit produced by LG, but a Chinese one. The repair shop told me that the genuine backlight kits are far more expensive and are not available; all those who claim to sell genuine Korean LED backlight strips are lying. I need help, can this issue be 100% resolved? Can this issue persist due to the TV being old? I want to fix the issue 100% and have my TV like new again. Do you think someone here is lying to me?
This video was so helpful. I have this exact same LG TV and was able to follow disassembly and thank-you for including the reassembly process. Another TV saved from the landfill. Thank-you.
Done this to my Ultra HD 4K TV about 4 years ago,Brought my HD TV from E bay for as little as 99p in theAuction for spares or to repair,£10 for postage,£15 for the replacament backlights,Mean while,A lot of dark shades in the back of the TV screen,Since I replaced the backlights,Then carefully put it all back together again,It's been a perfect working TV ever since,Use it most of the time ever since mostly for internet,Got it up on the frontroom wall,Connected to my gaming Computer
Any idea how the platic clips are named? I`m trying to find them over the internet but didn`t had any luck. I broke about 3 of them when trying to remove.
Also repaired many other HD TV's before as well,Amount of times ive taken LCD screens out,They so thin,Allmost as thin as paper,Only problem with them,They look like they so easy to break,Taken out a few broken LCD screens before,Done a test with broken LCD screens,By snapping them,Only takes a little snap,So easy to break
Thank you. I would have not attempted this unless I was in virus social distancing spare time. I would normally have purchased a new TV. Thanks to your help I now have a repaired 47LB585V TV with a stunningly good picture (it was given to me as broken). It would have helped if you'd mentioned that it's easier to remove the three pointed standoffs in the middle, if you temporarily remove the PSU board and motherboard. The are much easier to remove if you can access both sides of the chassis plate.
Some white pieces you were removing at 7:32 broke. Do you know whether they are sold? If so, what is their technical name? By the way, thanks for the video: it is one of the best!
Thanks for this video. I have a question, possible issue. Does it matter far as the lettering is concerned? I took photos for the connection concern not the order of letter.
Thank you so much, it took me a while but it solved my problem. So I do have picture again, but one small vertical line is grey. Could it be the LED strips or did I accidently damaged something? Either way, still thanks a bunch!
Thanks for the video, very helpful as I'm considering taking on this fix for my LG 50" LED TV... It's a bit daunting, I didn't think it had so many layers to disassemble to get to the LED strips though...
Is the blue or white wire the negative feed? My TV has 3 wires that run to the connections. There is a black & blue to 1connection, blue & white connections to 4 other connection points and 2 connections with a small blue wire loop that connects to the led strips.
Thank you Shop Jimmy; tutorial very well done, scripted and edited; for the record, it is applicable also to the 60" version of the TV, the 60LB6500-TA.AAUWLJD, which is sold in Australia; identical clips system holding the white sheet and identical overall layout; keep doing these videos, they are very much welcomed and appreciated. Note: I have tested the LED strips before replacement, and, in my case, (of the 6 strips) 3 were shorted (!!!) and the remaining three had one led not coming on, and the others were relatively faint. I am now going to buy the strips.
Hi I am attempting to replace the LEDs on my LB47650V. I have a very trivial question. What kind of adhesive tape was used in the video to hold the screens together.
Hi there does anyone knows if i have to put the reflector shield back because i just bought new leds for the model tv i have but now the holes don't line up with the new led strips
Absolutely, a short section of the original fault of this TV should have been made before any dissembling... IE.. My TV turns on, sound is perfect, picture appears perfect, no dark or overly bright areas ..picture shows clearly for a split second ..then whole screen goes black for a few seconds and then cycles in this pattern. When working normally, a small section of the screen would occasionally have an flicker as opposed to a flash and would be more apparent when displaying a white background.
Do you know what it means when the LED (LD701) on the back of the power supply board flashes 4 times? This occurs after the backlights turn off. I have already bought an LG 55LM5800 Power supply repair kit from shopjimmy (because you were out of stock of the ps board). That didn't fix it so I replaced the main Caps, that didnt help so I bought a replacement power supply board and IM STILL having the same issue, please help? After replacing the ps board the backlights power on & everything works for about 20-30 minutes then the backlights turn off. Now when I measure the voltages at the led strips>power supply board it goes up to about 70v on both connectors then drops quickly to zero volts. If I place my DMM in Loz mode then the voltage doesn't drop to zero and It reads a steady 71.1v on both connectors. It's an edge lit model btw.
Thank you so much!, This helped me a lot with accessing and taking off the LCD and light filter layers. Saved me a lot of time and possibly breaking something.
55LH575A - Prior to installing the new LED strips, the picture was fine, but dim in areas. After replacement, the led lights are working fine, but no image appears on screen. Various colors and lines are appearing and I can see that something is happening as I push buttons, but no detailed image is on the screen. I purchased a new tcon board also, but swapping it out doesn’t change anything
I've an LG 4k tv and there is one or two spot showing up that have like a purple colour to it.. Is that the blacklight failing and if so would all the leds need fixing.. Thanks in advance
I just found this video after taking my same tv apart the opposite way , Does any one know the right way the diffusers go as i kept them all together but forgot which way to lay them on the lcd 😱 . Is the heaviest sheet the last to go on and there is a shiney darker one through to a clearer one . Does the darker one goes towards the lcd first or the lighter one . Thanks . any advice appreciated 😊
I'm so glad I watched this. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a new TV.
Can I have your old one ? I have a few lines in my screen and I need a new screen ?
Yep me too. Fuck this shit.
Lol
🤣
LOL
Just repaired my 61” LG following your video and saved a $1000 TV for $60 for LED strips off of eBay! Thanks for the video!!

How long did it take for the entire job?
Wizard Glick took about 5 mins brcause i just bought a new tv lpl

Please do not use the OM expression there is no need God Bless
Do you know the order of the light filter?
Today I finally fixed my tv according to this video and I become very happy. I just want to say thank you very much from bottom of my heart.
This video is amazing, I am a young female and I fixed my own tv thanks. I am so proud of myself
Congratulations. I'm thrilled when people try and succeed! Good job!

Thank you ShopJimmy! I just reconnected my LG47LB5800 and it works again! [40+ SBF] I ordered the LED strips and double sided tape from ShopJimmy. The suction cups and 5-in-1 tool were out of stock, got those from Amazon.
One additional suggestions take a photo of how the wires are connected as well as the proper order for the strips. Also use a lightweight tape to keep the filters together.
This was incredibly thorough and extremely helpful. I am very thankful for finding this video. Thank you for showing us how to fix our tvs ourselves instead of overpaying and relying on others.
Great video.
I'm fairly technical, but would never have just dug in and tried to replace the LEDs without this video.
I got 3 of these TVs and they all have the purple screen, so I'm hoping this does the trick!

With your parts and video and 3 hours lguh6100 fixed Thanks Jimmy , The last TV I fixed required a 2N3055 transistor a long time ago lol
Thanks, dude.
Just did this on my 60UJ634V.
Mostly the same procedure.
The picture got darker and darker and more blue on mine. It started with it showing up blue when I took photos of the screen with my phone.
After replacing the LEDs, its brighter and whiter than I could even remember.😁
Just did this was super easy if you just follow directions. I didn’t have suction cups either I just carefully lifted the screen out making sure not to bend it. What do you have to lose? If you do lose your tv is apart and you can sell the motherboard and all the components that still work on eBay and make yourself some cash!!
I ordered from this website and fixed my tv just like in this video. Thank you for the video, I really appreciate being able to fix my stuff and not have to buy a replacement. Thank you Thank you!!!
thanks, i followed your video and got my 47" lg tv working again! many thanks god bless
No wonder there are no TV repair shops.
The labor cost for this probably makes this impractical.
Such a simple problem like a couple of bad led strips and such a long and drawn out and fiddly process to replace them, the person who invented the LED television should be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
It wouldn't be a problem if they used alumnium strips with thermal paste to diffuse heat and prevent the leds from cooking to death. They use glass fiber strips and put zero measures to prevent overheating, literally building screens to die out in a few years.
Yes you are absolutely right. The right the early models would cost so much. My 55 inch stopped 2 years. Repaired once for almst 1/3rd cost, but just lasted for six months. Since I stopped watching tv. Thanks for this video, I shall give it a try soon.
You should have shown a moment where you test whether the lights are on before you put the whole thing together.
Maybe they didn't show that in the video but I am sure that they did test it afterwards and I'll bet the television didn't work, so the technician had to do everything all over again.
While my TV was different, the procedure was almost the same. For a minimal price was able to fix it myself, thanks for your detailed and explanation
I used this tutorial and fixed my TV. Super happy.
Thank you very much!!! I just successfully completed to fix my tv with this guide. 🎉🎉🎉
Your video helped me fix my 43um LG TV. I did break a few brackets in the bezel while prying the back cover off but it all get together firmly enough.
Many thanks!
Thanks for uploading this I’m going to try and replace the LED back lights on my LGTV tomorrow. The only thing I would say is, wouldn’t it make sense to unclip those pins before you flip the TV over so that you don’t have to flip it back again once the screen is loose…? Thanks 😊
What an awesome straight to the point no bull video, did it on our 47" LGTV.... Thanks, saved us some money there, took over an hour, and great fun too, thanks!
Got my ShopJimmy replacement strips in for my LG 55LB5550, I simply mimicked the person in the video and everything went smoothly. The TV has only been running for an hour so no telling how long they'll last but it looks great so far!
Glad to see they were not OEM or pulls, they're completely different, which is great because so many people have had problems with the OEM I think they're fundamentally flawed. The OEM wires and connectors won't work on these so be sure to use the included connectors.
Awesome video, awesome replacement strips so far!
Worked like a charm in repairing a free TV I found on Craigslist list. Not half as intimidating as it originally seemed.
Before we attached the new LED strips we put the reflector sheet back down to mark where they should be for the new ones. Might be a worthwhile idea
I sent my TV (LG 42LB65) to be fixed by an LG-certified repair center here in Egypt. The backlight strips were replaced, but instead of bright white spots, there are slightly dark spots, which can be noticed in video games with large bright uniform scenes. In other words, my problem was mitigated, not completely resolved. When I called the maintenance shop, they told me this is due to the fact that the components of my TV (especially the power supply) are old. I bought the TV, as far as I remember, on 2/2/2015, making the TV over 8 years old at the time of repairing (late May 2023).
The weird thing is that the sightly dark spots are there despite the backlight being very very bright. Moreover, on some contents colors seem to be "washed out"; too much pale color on the screen, especially RUclips videos.
Several technicians I know tell me different things, but most notably that it might be an issue with the quality of the LED backlight strips. The strips I installed are not a genuine kit produced by LG, but a Chinese one. The repair shop told me that the genuine backlight kits are far more expensive and are not available; all those who claim to sell genuine Korean LED backlight strips are lying.
I need help, can this issue be 100% resolved? Can this issue persist due to the TV being old? I want to fix the issue 100% and have my TV like new again. Do you think someone here is lying to me?
Thanks!!!!! i followed the video and now have new life with my tv. works great.
This video was so helpful. I have this exact same LG TV and was able to follow disassembly and thank-you for including the reassembly process. Another TV saved from the landfill. Thank-you.
It was the same for me. Was able to repair the TV. Thank you.
I'm halfway finished changing mine I just want to say thank you for this tutorial 🙏🏼 I also ordered my led strips from you guys as well
Do you know the order of the light filter by any chance?
@@HKS2000 no I taped the cornes of mine with painters tape so I wouldn't get them out of order and just put them all back in at the same time
@@Mill-on-da-track technically they are still in order except for the thickest one thick on on bottom or top
Done this to my Ultra HD 4K TV about 4 years ago,Brought my HD TV from E bay for as little as 99p in theAuction for spares or to repair,£10 for postage,£15 for the replacament backlights,Mean while,A lot of dark shades in the back of the TV screen,Since I replaced the backlights,Then carefully put it all back together again,It's been a perfect working TV ever since,Use it most of the time ever since mostly for internet,Got it up on the frontroom wall,Connected to my gaming Computer
Guys I fixed my TV
Thank you so much
I had to buy the LEDs online
Where online
@@matick6275 Amazon bro. you want the link , I even left a review
zac morris yea sure
Yea that would be great
Still running 22 years old CRT without this kind of major repairs
Thank you so much for this video! It saved my LG 82”! It wasn’t easy but it worth it! I got the pieces from your website!🎉
thank you so much, I managed to change the LED's myself. Thank you :)
Awesome video. In the process of doing a 82 inch. It's setup the same way. The panel is hugh and heavy though.
You, sir, are a godsend! Does anyone know how to clean the reflectors? I smudged one of them 😢
Any idea how the platic clips are named? I`m trying to find them over the internet but didn`t had any luck. I broke about 3 of them when trying to remove.
My LG TV LED's went off 1 day before warranty expired. Replaced in warranty by LG. Saved about ₹9,000 ($130)
Your rock man, such a good video. Got a flickering tv from a friend and fixed it with ease!
Thank you very much. Very easy to do. Thanks to your video I was able to change the LEDs on my TV. 👌
nice job if you never did this before watch it over and over and go step by step
never di it this way...
Great job, kudos! Can you please indicate the exact name/type of the red tape you used (at min 4:06 etc.)
Also repaired many other HD TV's before as well,Amount of times ive taken LCD screens out,They so thin,Allmost as thin as paper,Only problem with them,They look like they so easy to break,Taken out a few broken LCD screens before,Done a test with broken LCD screens,By snapping them,Only takes a little snap,So easy to break
Had blue screen on my LG, watched this, bought a new LG tv. Much happier
Thank you. I would have not attempted this unless I was in virus social distancing spare time. I would normally have purchased a new TV.
Thanks to your help I now have a repaired 47LB585V TV with a stunningly good picture (it was given to me as broken).
It would have helped if you'd mentioned that it's easier to remove the three pointed standoffs in the middle, if you temporarily remove the PSU board and motherboard. The are much easier to remove if you can access both sides of the chassis plate.
Some white pieces you were removing at 7:32 broke. Do you know whether they are sold? If so, what is their technical name? By the way, thanks for the video: it is one of the best!
Thanks for this video. I have a question, possible issue. Does it matter far as the lettering is concerned? I took photos for the connection concern not the order of letter.
Thank you so much, it took me a while but it solved my problem. So I do have picture again, but one small vertical line is grey. Could it be the LED strips or did I accidently damaged something? Either way, still thanks a bunch!
Followed this video today and my lg tv project was a success 🙌 thank you
Hello, thx, do you have an Idea how to change and where to find the LEDs for the LG 55LA970V (olso called 55LA9700) ?
Thanks for the video, very helpful as I'm considering taking on this fix for my LG 50" LED TV...
It's a bit daunting, I didn't think it had so many layers to disassemble to get to the LED strips though...
Is the blue or white wire the negative feed? My TV has 3 wires that run to the connections. There is a black & blue to 1connection, blue & white connections to 4 other connection points and 2 connections with a small blue wire loop that connects to the led strips.
Thanks for the information at least it's a project when I get the weekend
Thank you Shop Jimmy; tutorial very well done, scripted and edited; for the record, it is applicable also to the 60" version of the TV, the 60LB6500-TA.AAUWLJD, which is sold in Australia; identical clips system holding the white sheet and identical overall layout; keep doing these videos, they are very much welcomed and appreciated.
Note: I have tested the LED strips before replacement, and, in my case, (of the 6 strips) 3 were shorted (!!!) and the remaining three had one led not coming on, and the others were relatively faint. I am now going to buy the strips.
Thanks a lot very helpful fixed for 20$ 🙏🏻
thank you! i fixed mine following this.
Hi I am attempting to replace the LEDs on my LB47650V. I have a very trivial question. What kind of adhesive tape was used in the video to hold the screens together.
duct tape
Fixed my TV thanks to this video. If I ever meet you... Beers on me ;)
Will this work for LG model 55UP70???
Hi there does anyone knows if i have to put the reflector shield back because i just bought new leds for the model tv i have but now the holes don't line up with the new led strips
You’re the best! Worked like a charm
god.. this video was so helpful and I fixed my tv. But my suction cups were too strong I guess.. they left two circle on the tv panel..
Ty for your answer i try to find mini but 4 or 9 aray suction cup tv screen holder.
Wish we could've seen a before and after to make sure that's what I need to do
Absolutely, a short section of the original fault of this TV should have been made before any dissembling...
IE.. My TV turns on, sound is perfect, picture appears perfect, no dark or overly bright areas ..picture shows clearly for a split second ..then whole screen goes black for a few seconds and then cycles in this pattern. When working normally, a small section of the screen would occasionally have an flicker as opposed to a flash and would be more apparent when displaying a white background.
Good job!! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber
hi, can you please help me with the correct order of the white filters? my son played with them and i feel they are not into the right order
Can you tell me order of those filter layers I have 2 prism and 1 diffuser layer
1 mistake spoted you should have first tested the lights if they are working correctly before reinstalling the screen and the back covers
Sorry if you covered this but I’ve read you don’t go off the Tv model number when ordering new back lights, what do I go off
This was tremendously helpful! Thank you!
Do you know what it means when the LED (LD701) on the back of the power supply board flashes 4 times? This occurs after the backlights turn off.
I have already bought an LG 55LM5800 Power supply repair kit from shopjimmy (because you were out of stock of the ps board). That didn't fix it so I replaced the main Caps, that didnt help so I bought a replacement power supply board and IM STILL having the same issue, please help?
After replacing the ps board the backlights power on & everything works for about 20-30 minutes then the backlights turn off.
Now when I measure the voltages at the led strips>power supply board it goes up to about 70v on both connectors then drops quickly to zero volts. If I place my DMM in Loz mode then the voltage doesn't drop to zero and It reads a steady 71.1v on both connectors. It's an edge lit model btw.
Thank you so much!, This helped me a lot with accessing and taking off the LCD and light filter layers. Saved me a lot of time and possibly breaking something.
55LH575A - Prior to installing the new LED strips, the picture was fine, but dim in areas. After replacement, the led lights are working fine, but no image appears on screen. Various colors and lines are appearing and I can see that something is happening as I push buttons, but no detailed image is on the screen. I purchased a new tcon board also, but swapping it out doesn’t change anything
I've an LG 4k tv and there is one or two spot showing up that have like a purple colour to it.. Is that the blacklight failing and if so would all the leds need fixing.. Thanks in advance
Just fixed my 55" LG!
Thank you for this video, il now have to buy a new set.
Which strips do I need 43uh603v LG or any 43 inch model??
55UF680T LG 55 UHD LED TV do you have led strips for this model?
Does anyone know in what order filter screens are installed ?
Did you ever find out the order of the sheets? Ran into the same problem
@@HKS2000 No sorry.
If I don’t know which LED lights are bad and want to replace them all, how many do I purchase? I don’t know what I’m looking for to fix a 50BG5900
Which Led stripes in need for my Grundig 55" GRB6620 TV i cant find in anywhere and dont want to buy the wrong leds
If a single LED is burnt out
Is it necessary to replace all 8 strips?
There's LED backlight testing devices that allow you test each bulb, so that you only have to change the bad strip
I just found this video after taking my same tv apart the opposite way , Does any one know the right way the diffusers go as i kept them all together but forgot which way to lay them on the lcd 😱 . Is the heaviest sheet the last to go on and there is a shiney darker one through to a clearer one . Does the darker one goes towards the lcd first or the lighter one . Thanks . any advice appreciated 😊
Did you figure it out?
@@i26C yes , they got mixed up but after 3 attempts got in right order . It’s a while ago so no clue what way i put them in .
Thank you for video !
If I didn't tape the light filters and I think they are wrong now. Could that cause one side of the tv to be brighter and the image to be blurred?
You saved me
Thanks so much for the video
Does it work for aftron android TV.
How can be sure that the strip or power supply of the led striper ?
