This is not an easy fix, unless you really know what you are doing i would NOT suggest to try it. Additionally, there are various reasons why a half black screen might appears and this solution only fixes 1 of them (which might not be the problem you have). Also, many retailers will refuse to apply the warranty if you have tried to fix it yourself (unscrewed the TV). So call your retailer first.
Thanks so much! This helped me fix my issue. I had one single LED that was affecting the entire strip on one half and with some pressure from a flathead I was able to bypass the current to give the rest of the LED full power. One LED out doesn’t really make a difference on quality it looks like. Thanks again!
Guys, I was stupid enough to do this (without any experience and multi-meter). I disassembled the TV and found out there are two broken LEDs in one strap of the backlight. I de-attached the strap and searched for the new straps and finally (after a long time of searching) found a pair. This video really helped me, hope it helps you guys too (and don’t buy a Samsung TV again).
I had 3 samsungs now 2 with dark on one side and one with a line . They should be sued for this shit . Never buying one again . Always happen after warranty.
I just replaced a less than 2 year old samsung 75" with this problem. My best opportunity is that this TV will be the last Samsung TV or any Samsung electronic product I will ever invest in.
I have about 8 Samsungs, QLED and LEDS and never had an issue with them. Still have one that’s 10+ years old. Now I do have an issue with my QLED, similar to this but it has a few white spots at the bottom and a darker vertical section from bottom to top. I’m trying to decide if it’s the TV itself that’s the problem or if my kids hit it with something and not telling me. 😂 It just randomly appeared one day, it’s about 8 years old though. Other than that, never had a problem and will never buy anything but Samsung TV’s. I tried an LG several years ago and it but the dust in less than 3 years.
Watched this video and realized there was an easier fix. 1. Place Tv at foot level. 2. Bring appropriate foot back three feet. 3. Plunge said foot into screen while cursing Samsung. 4. Take same feet and walk through Walmart LG TV section. Wala, problem has been corrected.
Im gonna try mine in couple days. Just waiting on backlight. Never done anything like this, just built a couple of pc's 10yrs ago. But ill try, seems super simple.
I have a Hisense 75 inch.. half the sreen is dark. Is it possible that half the LEDS went bad, is there a power sourse for each side of the tv? there are 7 left and 7 right. OR would it mean all the LEDs would need to be replaced? or just half if not a power source for the 7 left?
I was looking into this for a family member's tv, the "easy fix" in the title baited me xD when i saw the hand plungers and volt injector come out I began reconsidering the possibility, haha
Interesting thanks. I have the same tv but black shading is in the middle of one side (so maybe 1 or 2 LEDs?). I think replacing the whole strip on that side is the answer. Do you agree? I dont have an LED tester so dont know whether it will be the top or the bottom strip. Any advice? Thanks again.
I had this issue on my samsung au9000 65 inch tv, I called the manufacturer and had them replace the tv panel for me on warranty, my question is, could this issue occur again? And what causes this problem in the first place .
@alphaomega1969 Really? Okay what about evaporative cooler? I have one in my room, and when I use it, it does make my room very humid, could that also be the cause of the problem?
The very last white thin layer against the back was double sided taped to the back. It tore a quarter sized hole. What's this paper called? It can be rolled and shipped if I'm lucky. it's not stiff.
Hi I had the boot cycle issue which I have fixed with the help of the video but now I have a black screen! the TV stays on, Backlight is on and TV has sound but just total black screen, any idea on what it could be? Thanks
When I replaced the LED lights in the TV, I put it together and now I have too much light on the bottom of the screen. Only on the bottom of the TV where the LEDs are, what could be wrong? Samsung TV.
hehe for most people this isnt an easy fix, I remember a few years back I got a free 55" LCD no picture so I pulled it apart replaced on of the Strips tested it all worked went to put it back together and well I tore one of the min plastic strips well now TV totaled had to throw it out so is anyone is going to be pulling apart a TV be extremely carefull those strips can tear easily in my case lesson learned
I did the same thing. I replaced the backlights and they worked but somehow I damaged one of those plastic strips and now there are lines on the screen.
I work for a company that does electronics repairs and I do this fairly regularly. It's about £395 for a ~55" I only know that because I did one recently that was a chargeable repair and it said the price. Cheapest part to replace. But longest time on site. We do it in your house. Takes hour, maybe an hour and a half.
great ! and a contact spray (better than isopropyl 99%) will help (contacts can be cleaned with a pencil eraser too , if you have a good magnifier or even binoculars you can have a better idea of corrosion level
my case is half left side is dark, but suddenly it switches, the right side is dark and the left is bright. A little afraid to pull the screen off, they seem fragile and I have no suction cup
im trying this as we speak my left side went out less than a year in :/ lost the receipt after a month or so of looking for it and about 6 months later im biting the bullet lol ill update you if this resolves the issue
I changed my backlight it was working, after one week backlight dont come on, when I toched the connector of wire that connects power board with mother board backlight come on and works for 1h after that they work dimed barely see the screen, anyone nows?
This may be easy for some, but is a major job for anyone not tech savy. Lets call this a Chinese plot to kill tv sets after a couple of years. Planned obsolescence in action.
Took an engine out of my Mark8, built it up from 300hp, to 960 at the rear end, simple if you know what you're doing. This not an easy fix..actually seen him having some problems. Easy fix = punch it, #2 pencil.. back light, there are welds to brake apart,etc...
What in the trailer park meth lab explosion are you talking about bro bro?! It's a TV not a Cobra motor. This dude didn't have a problem at all he fixed it with no issues and at no cost. If you can build a Cobra motor to a thousand horsepower then this should be a cake walk.
@ItsGhostFPV actually, I was stoned ,thought I was writing on a different channel, but you were close, don't do meth , it happened to be an incredible edible.. Bitch of it all, this isn't the 1st time I've done that. 😵💫
Peace be upon you. My name is Muhammad Saeed. I used to work on a screen like this, and the glass was broken at one end or the bottom, next to the cove, but surprisingly, the glass was not completely broken. There is an image on the screen, but the image has a part in about half that is black in color and covers 4 cm from top to bottom of this blackness. The simple one in half the screen is due to cutting tracks while trying to change the screen LEDs. Is there anyone who can help me and talk to me and tell me how to solder those tracks please?😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Yeah I don't think he should be advising people to be unscrewing the back of their tv.
Right like WTH
Why not? If it's broken might as well try to fix it before having to buy another
@@limeglasses a shop with expert technicians can help you fix the TV.
@@enriconolastname3471 huh didn't think the newer ones had repair services. I'll look into that. Thanks!

Didn't know some TVs now use LEDs like that, cool. Thanks for the easy to follow disassembly guide.
Thin TVs and monitors mostly use these LEDs, and laptops.

Love it was heaps easier
😂😂😂
Think I will try and remove screen first and if I Crack it I will do what you said.
Thanks! I fixed my very similar 65" Samsung following your steps.

Found a free tv and this fix worked for me in 20 minutes ✅🔥‼️
Was it a samsung tv or any other one?
@@llenenrall9639 same one
I was looking into this for a family member's tv, the "easy fix" in the title baited me xD when i saw the hand plungers and volt injector come out I began reconsidering the possibility, haha
Thanks for this guide! It fixed my TV 😊
What voltage are you testing the led light at?
Interesting thanks. I have the same tv but black shading is in the middle of one side (so maybe 1 or 2 LEDs?). I think replacing the whole strip on that side is the answer. Do you agree? I dont have an LED tester so dont know whether it will be the top or the bottom strip. Any advice? Thanks again.
try to buy the whole led strips on ebay
I had this issue on my samsung au9000 65 inch tv, I called the manufacturer and had them replace the tv panel for me on warranty, my question is, could this issue occur again? And what causes this problem in the first place .
Humidity related to cold weather mostly
@alphaomega1969 Really? Okay what about evaporative cooler? I have one in my room, and when I use it, it does make my room very humid, could that also be the cause of the problem?
@@Encumberedemotions It would be best to use normal blowing fan in your rom imo

Don't worry about it. Just patch up the hole with the piece you tore off.
That just reflects the light and it won't be noticeable.

try... turning up the brightness and see if that triggers the led to go bad again ?

Serious question. How much would a repair like this cost? Is it worth it just to get a new tv with the same technology
I work for a company that does electronics repairs and I do this fairly regularly. It's about £395 for a ~55"
I only know that because I did one recently that was a chargeable repair and it said the price.
Cheapest part to replace. But longest time on site. We do it in your house. Takes hour, maybe an hour and a half.
I was trying to do this but it is not an easy fix,,,😩
Lol
Go to system then shop mode then go back to home mode this worked for me.
I just tried that. It made it worse.
great ! and a contact spray (better than isopropyl 99%) will help (contacts can be cleaned with a pencil eraser too , if you have a good magnifier or even binoculars you can have a better idea of corrosion level
how about the whole screen is black hiw to fox it??
“Easy fix” yeah if you know what you’re doing lmao, not for the average Joe
my case is half left side is dark, but suddenly it switches, the right side is dark and the left is bright. A little afraid to pull the screen off, they seem fragile and I have no suction cup
Wow so much help how do i take appart a tv
Would this work for Toshiba TV??
im trying this as we speak my left side went out less than a year in :/ lost the receipt after a month or so of looking for it and about 6 months later im biting the bullet lol ill update you if this resolves the issue
Who the hell carries suction cups like that in their average toolbox?
You really don’t need them. I moved mine with 2 people
How much would this cost
I have the exact same tv, with the exact same problem!
I changed my backlight it was working, after one week backlight dont come on, when I toched the connector of wire that connects power board with mother board backlight come on and works for 1h after that they work dimed barely see the screen, anyone nows?
I had this problem and I had a real easy fix...... I bought a new TV
I am NOT doing this.
Ugh.
My Dad is a TV Repair Man
He can fix anything..😂😂😂
Can your dad, repair mines?? Willing to Pay.
Tysm it was so easy
Easy?
be careful around that exposed power supply
there's white line mark between high and low voltage
Haha super easy fix 😢
This may be easy for some, but is a major job for anyone not tech savy. Lets call this a Chinese plot to kill tv sets after a couple of years. Planned obsolescence in action.
I did it and I have never taken a tv apart
I would just have to buy a new one...lol
AWESOME !
thank you for sharing your knowledge

How is this an easy fix ?
I have this exact problem on my samsung monitor 😢
Merci

My brother in christ this is not easy
Someone threw out a tv that had tbis problem but at a smaller scale
So basically get a new TV because you can't fix it
Thanks for the info but too much work for me 😅
