I will echo the taking your time bit... First one of these I did was a Panasonic (LG screen, 50 inch) which took about an hour... However I made a fatal mistake. The panel was a very snug fit in the plastic frame and I had it off by around a millimetre. Screen cracked as I was clipping the bezel back on as a result. This was my own set, and to say I was gutted would be an understatement! 😂
On most of the LED backlit TVs I've inherited secondhand or had to repair over the years, it seems to be older owners who've killed the back lights by treating the brightness control as an olde worlde brightness control rather than dimming the back lights appropriately to control brightness. As a consequence, if the TV defaulted to 100% brightness for the back lights, they soon got cooked. The former approach also clobbers the already lousy static contrast ratio. Of course, had they taken 5 minutes to RTFM, this wouldn't have happened. It does baffle me why modern TVs have brightness and contrast controls at all though (apart from back light brightness/OLED drive level obviously) as there is only one technically correct setting for both when dealing with standards compliant inputs, which pretty much everyone is these days.
Taken 12 yrs for our mutt to get used to fireworks. He used to jump up between us on the sofa and do an impression of Shakin Stevens, till all the bangs had stopped. He doesn’t bother at all these days ( think he might be going deaf, or getting old ( almost 15 now) 😉
What would be the cost to customer for this repair parts/labour? Surely this is quite an old lg tv now? Isnt it not worth it? Especially as screen resolution is a lot better on newer tvs?
Hi there, in your opinion which is the best reliable make/brand out there when it comes to 55 inch options / at the moment I have a Samsung UE55NU8000 had it five years nothing has gone wrong touch wood please let me know
Hey Allen which out of 440 thousand Chinese on AliExpress do you use I wonder if you would be so kind to give me which company you deal with regards Mike
I always get mine from Aliexpress. I buy mine on the part number stamped on the strips, not the panel itself. Never had a wrong order delivered and usually arrives in around 10 days
Don't it make my dark picture blue. At least these sets are worth saving, you won't find component inputs on todays 4K sets that are hopeless with any resolution less than 4K. What will we do when these have all gone ?
Seen many. Refuse them all because the last set I chaned LED on I got screwed by unexpected broker charged that arrived 3 weeks after the set was fixed and sent out. Ate away all the profits in fixing. SO when I see them now I just tell folks to toss and replace.
if by "4K card" you mean a graphics card capable of 4K 60hz output through HDMI and Displayport, then a Radeon RX 6400 would guarantee the display outputs are up to date with any monitor or TV you might use while not needing external power supply. If you're instead talking about capture cards or the like, I don't know anything about that.
Samsung do this, lg do this, sony? streetlights everywhere doing it, but rare in cheaper vestel tellys and my theory is, all these companies with blue issues have bought leds from a supplier promising quality, charging a good price for that quality, then delivering a sub standard product. I can only guess vestel seems to have escaped as it maybe has an even cheaper no name brand supplier of lesser quality, but without this issue.......lucky them...
Yet another great repair Allen, you make it look so easy and simple.

Would of liked to see the new LEDs light up before you put in the reflector sheet .. to see the difference in colour of the LEDs

Where do you buy your parts? The LED’s?
I always get mine from Aliexpress. I buy mine on the part number stamped on the strips, not the panel itself. Never had a wrong order delivered and usually arrives in around 10 days
Thanks very much!! I really appreciate the help!🤗
They turn blue because the leds are burning out, simply because the brightness has been cranked to maximum, all leds start off as blue
Yes, blue with a phosphor coating to produce the required colour.
Don't it make my dark picture blue.

Mine didn't go blue. It went very very purple.

Hold on, 2016 is not old. I am daily using a Sony Bravia TV from the late 1990s. Still fine. So moral is buy Sony not LG.
I agree :)
I’m using a an LG which is over 10 years old which works fine,no sign of blue whatsoever.

I can't believe it's another led change
in Holland they shoot off loads of fireworks on new years day
