I learned so many skills from my Father just like this. I still use them today. I just fixed my TCL TV with this same issue. I plan to use the old working LEDs for some other project.
So I wasn't going to buy a 50$ led tester.. saw that icon shadows were in the background the sound and such worked just no backlight decided to just replace led's followed your vid and others. End game saved $175 on #doityourself 👍🏽💪🏾thanks bro 🙏🏾
I purchased a TCL TV for a guest bedroom. It was used maybe 15 hours total. I recently noticed that it would not turn on. The display is black. I contacted TCL and they said too bad, the warranty has expired. I have a big screen LCD TV from another well-known manufacturer that has been heavily used and is more than 10 years old. I also have several LCD monitors a well-known manufacturer which are more than 10 years old. None of these ever had a single problem. Anything that looks too good to be true probably is. You get what you pay for. If you're looking for a TV that will last, don't get a TCL TV. They are cheap garbage and TCL doesn't stand behind them.
That’s because of the difference between LCD and LED. We have a 12 year old LCD tv that still works. These LED tvs are flawed because they use led bulbs as a backlight. Once on bulb burns out all of them go out because of how they’re all wired together resulting in a tv with sound but a black screen. The only way to fix it is to buy another tv, pay to get it fixed, or fix it yourself.
Have to ask this as a tech to tech question. I just repaired one of these with the exact same issue. Unfortunately, as ridiculously meticulous I was, after almost 40 minutes of putting panel back into position making sure it was not hanging up anywhere, a small crack happened in the lower left corner when I stood TV up & turned it on. 😳 Talk about being pissed!! 🤬 Has this ever happened to you? Do you assume liability or do you have the customer release you from the liability due to the high risk of cracking a panel? An expensive lesson this time around. 😖
@@SOSfixElectronics I still have the TV, I'm going to do an 'autopsy' to see if I can determine what happened. Do you still assume responsibility if it cracks or do you tell them you are not liable for it if it happens? I ended up comping the customer because I didn't have them sign any kind of liability release and everyone is sue crazy these days, I didn't want it to end up in a legal situation and I felt really bad. I'm just not sure how other techs handle that part of the business but I am seriously considering drafting a release of liability form. Having had it happen to you, you know how upsetting it can be when you are extra careful and it still happens.
@@electronicrepairservice2020 i warn the customer about the risk for any repair, specially about the backlight, i m not liable for anything happening during or after the repair, i don't let the customer think about " you touch it you marry to it "
@@SOSfixElectronics Youness - thank you, I made a big business mistake, I should have known better but lesson learned. It was an expensive lesson but could have been worse.

I'm on my second TCL Roku tv and its got the black screen problem again...powers up and did all the TH-cam fixes but this time nothing works to solve the problem. The first TCL roku tv I had lost its brightness on the sides and kept brightness in the middle of the picture. NO MORE TCL CHINESE TV'S FOR ME!!!!!!! I FEEL SCAMMED AGAIN 😠😠

Is it possible to take the roku player out of it before I throw it out?
take the main board but you will need a similar tv to use the same mainboard
Do you know how to get the LED strips for the 55S421LDAA TCL Roku?
yes they are the same 55s4xx they have then on ebay
