LG Television: Replacement LED Strips Too Short?

Sun, 03 May 2026 08:16:42 -0700

First time attempt at replacing LED backlights for me. Picked up an old LG 55" tv (LG 55UM7300PUA) that has an overly blue picture. Ordered some replacement LEDs off Ebay, and got them in this week. Part number seems to match (SSC_Y19_TRIDENT_55UM73), but the eight-LED strips are only about 22" long (as in, about half the length of the tv screen).

I haven't broken open the TV yet, but before I do so, was wondering if having LED strips so short compared to the length of the TV is normal.

Also, I noticed that the markings on each strip are identical (i.e., there's no "A" or "B" strip designation). Are these strips typically interchangeable among themselves?

Sat, 02 May 2026 08:15:21 -0700

Hello, i have a Samsung model UN46ES6003FXZA, S/N Z67G3CVCA02640X. The standby light blinks once when plugged in but will not turn on, it normally stays solid. when unplugged it blinks once after 30 seconds. the funny thing is it sometimes works after a period of being off but i have to keep the tv on otherwise it reverts to problem. any ideas and if it is power supply is it worth fixing other then the problem tv is immaculate.

Philips Television: LED started to blink twice, after Power off/on LED stays off

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 01:38:40 -0700

Hi All,

after 13 years the LED of my beloved Philips TV 55PFL7108K/12 suddenly started to blink twice.

Then i couldn't turn it on anymore, therefore i re-plugged the power cable. Since then it doesn't even blink anymore at all. Only when i plug in the power cable the LED lits up for some milliseconds and then everything stays off.

Any idea what this could be? I am willing to open the TV, but for now i wanted to ask here for ssuport.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Samsung Television: Ribbon cable causing issue

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 14:19:35 -0700

Hi, so my Samsung tv’s auto timer turned the tv off and the tv would not come back on at all. I have taken off the back of the tv and checked the power, main and t-con boards and all appear to be ok however tv is stuck in a boot loop unless I remove the ribbon cable from the main board to t-con board then the boot loop doesn’t commence the tv turns on as normal. Now for the confusing part…when I disconnect the ribbon cable, let the tv start up and finally reconnect the ribbon cable the tv works perfectly however once turned off the boot loop starts again until the steps are repeated. I have seen “fixes” on YouTube etc for a similar issue which uses electrical tape to cover 1 or 2 receivers on the t-con board this usually isolates a spot of led’s and leaves a visual defect on the screen. This doesn’t seem Like the correct fix for my TV’s issue as the entire screen works flawlessly when I have removed the ribbon cable and inserted it again. Is there any known fix for this or a way to stop the t-con sending the signal to turn the tv off? Thanks.
