Two years on and still helping folks. Just completed this repair today and have my TV back in service for less than $30 bucks. I know most comments are old here, but for anyone feeling "intimidated" by this repair, just remember, you currently have a broken TV, if you are successful, you will have a fixed TV. If you fail, it's what? Brokener? You did not try just to fail, you tried to also learn.
@@sophiflower I was feeling the same way. I nowbhave 3 more to repair. For about 70 bucks each i can have them fixed. My twins broke our TV 3 days ago so I guess I have 4 to fix 😂
I just followed this video to repair the same LED backlight issue on my Insignia tv. Thank you for posting this content, everything worked perfectly and I saved a bundle on my tv repair.
Aren't all of the backlight strips for this model TV the same product? Whether I am replacing some or all of the strips, they should all be the same product, right?
I tried to do the same test as you where you add power to the led but one led strip right in the middle would light up no matter which led strip i was on, so i disconnected all the little cables and tested each led strip and all of them worked, what could cause the issue of no light on tv would jt be the motherboard or tcon or idk
So, if only 1 or 2 strips are bad, the TV will shut them all down? I get the quick image, then the screen goes blank and the sound stays on. I have an insignia NS-55DF710NA21. Thanks.
Any pointers in getting the paper over the leds off without ripping it. I kid you not, the double sided taped they used on my set is like gorilla tape/glue. I also tried a heat gun to no avail.
@SOSfix Electronics job well done by replacing the entire strips i did repair a tv and just replacing the faulty strips the tv got the same problem the fuse and diod was ok then replacing the whole strips the tv was ok.One question,can tv screen be swap from one tv to another tv and what if the flex cable to the T-CON board are different which adaptor to buy to fix that since the tvs pins are not the same at each connector.
yes you can swap screens from a different tv. you will need the screen with tcon, and you can do modification of the lvds cable, you will need datasheet of both tcons to figure out the data pines, there is a adaptors for that too, i ll work on a tv today and i ll talk about that just check the next video.
excellent video! I will do that repair to my tv, but I have read that after changing the LED strips, the voltage should be lowered? what is the correct way to do that?
Great video I cannot find the back-lights for my TV My TV looks exactly like the one in the video the NS 55 Mine is the E55141NKAPBMNNX for all I know they may be the same ones I cannot find the ones for my set Can you help Thanks
My led lights just worked today... I tested the caps and have had TVs that just needed a capacitor changed to power the leds/ back lighting. It would be Easter to cut holes in the back of the plastic fake metal backing and wire up my own lighting than removing all of that sht
I got to the end where there is the pointy clear things, the screws on half of them are ridiculously tight and have been stripped. I can't get them off
Excellent video. Where did you purchase the LED strips from? Same thing just happened to mine. It would randomly go black and I would hit the home button and be fine again. Now it just flashes and the tv itself works fine just no backlight.
I don't understand - wny does the screen flash if the LEDs are bad? I would expect that if the LEDs were bad the screen wouldn't flash at all. Could this be something else causing my TV to not work?
i had a similar problem however... i found that by unplugging the main board the tv worked for a few days and then quit again.. repeated the action of unplugging the main board and it worked again for a week. I would like to replace ther main board but have no idea where to get one
I just found a 50" Insignia TV in the trash. When I turn it on, the screen works, but is so dark I can barely tell there's a picture there. It also "blinks" every few seconds. The picture goes off for a split second. Nothing I've tried, including the instructions in this video, have made any difference. Previously I had a Samsung 50" TV from the trash. That one wouldn't turn on at all.
Word to the wise, there is adhesive strips on the left and right side of the panels. You will need to use a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive to free the screen from the frame. If you do not do this you will BREAK the screen when you try and lift with the suction cups. Ask me how i know, i just cracked my F#£$ing screen. Video doesn't show this challenge but its very likely with many modern TVs. You been warned

I just found one by a dumpster with this problem too! I’m feeling a little intimidated by this repair though. :/

THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU ARE REALLY A GREAT TV TECHNICIAN! I HAVE SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL FOR A GREAT JOB! YOU HELPED ME WITH MY TV ISSUE! THANKS!!
Thank you so much for making this video, very informative.

2 halfs makes 1 long strips, the long strops are the same, better replace all strips
Same tv but half the screen is black. I replaced the tcon board but the same issue. I think it the lcd stip. do you have any videos on lcd strips?
sorry no, try the tape way cover some traces
I tried to do the same test as you where you add power to the led but one led strip right in the middle would light up no matter which led strip i was on, so i disconnected all the little cables and tested each led strip and all of them worked, what could cause the issue of no light on tv would jt be the motherboard or tcon or idk
Can you add the link where to get the new set up led strips
So, if only 1 or 2 strips are bad, the TV will shut them all down? I get the quick image, then the screen goes blank and the sound stays on. I have an insignia NS-55DF710NA21. Thanks.

Thanks for this very informative video. My Insignia just started doing this a couple days ago and I’m afraid I’m gonna have to replace the LED lights.
Hey buddy just wondering if you ended up having to switch out your LED’s and how it went bc mine just went out too lol
@@kriptokurrency9822 hey, I purchased the LED lights but I haven’t had time to replace them yet.
Would like to hear an update if you finally had the time!

Take the tv apart and look by the part number not the tv model number
