Samsung contractor wanted $900 to fix my 65” LED UHD TV (less than two years old). I ordered some $30 eBay LEDs off eBay for my tv model and followed this guide (slightly different but I found my way) and now my TV is back alive!! Thanks
Follow up, it’s been 4 months and my LEDs are dead again. I’m only getting sound out of the tv and no picture. Looks like I’m ditching Samsung and going TV shopping
Having a bit of a problem trying to disconnect the small plug from the led strip. Tried pushing in the 2 small tabs on side but it won’t budge. Tv repairers said this tv needed a totally new led screen £800. I insisted it was the backlight but they wouldn’t have it. What a rip off they are. Great video. Thank tou
I agree. I bought a brand new 80" tv, had it for a week, i tossed a damn lighter onto the coffee table and it bounced into the tv, barely hit the tv... killed the tv... wtf is that shit
Ive fixed about 15 tvs in the last 2 years. Since my son's birth I have needed to find a way to be home so I took this little hobby and I have to admit your video was very soothing, relaxing, informative straight to the point and I felt like I was really there with you. My favorite TV fix video ever man! Thank you.
This is truly first tier self-reliance that many of us in the western world should take a note on. Ain't nobody gonna fix your screen in the province unless you know how to do it your self. Less e-waste, welldone!
Tv repair cost estimate from local repair shop = 2600$. Off to the hardware store I go! Otherwise I'm dropping 1400$ on a new TV so hoping I can fix my old one that's been sitting in my spare. Best DIY video I've seen on TV'S
My nephew had the same thing happen to his 55" Samsung T.V. two weeks ago. I told him it could be fixed and he said he wasn't even going to attempt it. So I went home, ran across your video, and long story short I have a 55" Samsung T.V. hanging on my dining room wall. It cost me a whopping $18.78 with tax and free shipping. Thank you good sir for teaching me something new and thank you for making a video that was so easy to follow.
We used this video as a guide to repair our TV. We were quoted between $175 and $300 for this repair which was honestly out of our budget. Thanks to Amazon and you we are back to our regularly scheduled viewing!
Thanks for the valuable description of your repair process! I used this process to re-seat the connector for the "bad" LED on my 65" Samsung. Re-seating the LED corrected the problem with my TV. In the process of repairing the LED, I cracked the top corner of the LCD and scrapped the TV. As already mentioned in the video, take care with that LCD and get help when putting the TV back together. The 65 and 70 inch models may be more awkward to handle.
Same happened with our 75". It's really hard to handle and my dad forgot how fragile the panel was and lifted up one corner, otherwise it would have been a perfect repair
You sir saved my wife and I a fortune. Our television , samsung 65 inch , only 3 years old has expired warranty. Parts on order for 50 $ Canadian. Tv is dis assembled ready for new light strips . Cheers from Vancouver Island .
Yesterday, I used your video to guide me in repairing my TV, and it was very helpful. In the end, I replaced the LEDs, but the top part of the screen looks a bit darker-maybe I misplaced some part of the layers, or it's simply wear and tear from use. However, it will work as a secondary monitor for some emergencies, and the results are: professionally: a good attempt; personally: very satisfying. Thank you for your video.
WOW! You've got so positive and warm attitude! I'm an Engineer, Electronics and Computers, and little younger then you... Even knowing what should be done with LCD screen, I was kinda hypnotized with your warm smile... Thank you for such positiveness!
Thanks my brother for knowledgeable samsung smart tv repair, I had enjoy watching you,because I am a technicoan too,but also an evangelical Pastor too, I will pray for your health and success in life.
I bought a Samsung 55" QLED tv that started doing this one month after warranty expired. New screen is $450 + labor. So i just put the tv in the closet until i get the idea to replace the screen myself and save on labor. Now i come across your video in my research and you about to save me big money, my friend. I'm going to try and fix my tv
Soon I’m gonna be attempting this on a Vizio. Your video is the best one so far. No music playing through the whole thing and not actually showing you how to do it. Thank you. 🙂
This was a very good video. I am gonna repair my 65” Samsung using this guide. The other value I took from this video, is stay away from Samsung. The fact that both your TVs need repair and mine yet my grandfathers Sony lasted over 10 years is evident to me that I chose the wrong brand. Thanks for your help.
I have a Samsung that is only 2.5 years old and already needs the led's replaced. Their quality has really gone down. I owned an old plasma Samsung that lasted 12 years. i will be looking to other brands in the future.
Sometimes I watch these videos to learn if the repair is something I can do or not. So many fragile clips and components...I'm thinking I'm not up for this kind of LCD brain surgery. You should go into the repair business. Few want to do repairs anymore. Given the time-consuming nature and chance for further damage, I can see why. Thanks anyway. I bow to your skills.
Great video. Just fixed a rather new QLED Samsung with half the screen dark and the repair was exactly the same. Amazon didn't have the correct LEDs for this model but found them on Ebay out of China. Parts took about 2 weeks to arrive but the fix was done in no time. Thank You
Spot on Attempted this today and I fixed it Only problem is I have one tiny line running from the top of tv to bottom Only noticeable on a light back ground Awesome instructions and direction Thank you
Was heading to the City Recycling bin with this Samsung UN49NU6300F .....until I saw this video, ordering the part now (if I can find it), and will watch the Video over and over until it's sticks. Thanks James!!
Grwat video, i am also going through this problem, i purchased a used 2016 Samsung TV 43inch 7series, for $50 bucks, never turned on the TV at the place of purchased and i came home to find this problem, many people will tell you, that its better to get a new TV. Because the repair cost is so expensive, but i see that is not. Thank you Sir, for the great video, i learned lot from it, and enjoy that delicious fruit. SEMPER FIDELIS and may God bless you.
This was a very helpful video and I appreciate the education even though I am not up to doing the repair myself being a 76 year old woman and not 'handy'. However, I am armed with knowledge to keep from getting ripped off! Thanks, much appreciated!
You are amazing I'm an electronic technician well little rust because I don't do the job many years! But your video is amazing the way you explained you should be a teacher! My recommendation for all this sensitive electronics is to put an surge protector due to voltage variations on the line the element suffer also most all the electronics power source works from 110 to 220 volts so in countries have 220 they are working on maximum and it make their life shorter originally I'm from Chile and back in there when I use to service electronics they get toasted because sometimes you have 210 and than goes all the way to 240 in my house we use to do when not using it unplug it and they will last longer or put a switch on the line ! Now here in USA we have 110 so if we have any variations it won't hurt that much but still always I do have surge protectors is a little extra money but it keep you for do an expensive repair I do still have big box old 📺 plasma and also the new led TV and no issues because of my protection ideas hopefully this information help to all of your followers! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR AN AMAZING VIDEO ! AND THOSE BANANAS LOOKS 🍌 VERY TASTY ALSO ORGANIC PERFECT!!!❤❤
Fantastic video pal. Enjoyed it here in the UK. My tv had it's screen replaced under warranty a few years back but while they were here I asked if I could disconnect the wi-fi. Long story short, I had to take the back off to re-attach the wif-i so I could sell it and I've damaged what looks like a green strip on the side of the screen. (there are 4 green strips on each side of the Tv-I'm going to assume they control or connect to the LED strips?) My screen is now fading to black and green on the right side. If I touch the green that is damaged the screen flickers and the picture can return though it's not stable. (you can see the perforation marks from the screwdriver-Doh!) Sowondering if just the ribbon can be replaced? How this makes sense. It's hard to look for parts when you don't know what they're called :D
So i just finished up fixing my samsung 65inch led tv by looking at your video. End result: the tv is back to its life, but again, there's a slight shade on the right side. Also i dont know how, but now i have 2 thin black lines in my screen. I did not touch the screen panel in any way. Just did it as you did it. But, im glad its alive again atleast. 1 thing i noticed, the inner(last) hard plastic you remove before changing the backlight, that plastic was melt from below. Also the previous backlight was burnt abit aswell. I put it back as it was after replacing the backlights. I did test the backlights before putting everythin back in order.
Great job! 65 inch and above are the hardest to do because of size. I now recommend you lower your brightness control to around 50% to prevent another failure of the backlight strips. I believe this is the cause of most of these type failures.
@@MyPIDream thankyou for this video. It was a great help. One of my friend suggested to remove and reinsert the display cables again as that might not be properly inserted which caused the line to appear. Ill try that tonight and also update on it if it worked.
Mine comes on for a while then goes totally dark. The sound still works. I'm not sure this is a project for me but thanks for the instructions. Best wishes Bob.
Very good editing. Very educational. Thank you so much for showing the world how easy this is. My father taught me that everything can be fixed, and so i got a free tv from a thrift store because it wasnt turning on and I diagnosed that it was the back light and I figured id try and see how to fix it my self. Because of you, now i can. Thank you so much i will subscribe to you and your friends after the video!!
Your video helped me repair a similar Samsung in 55" size. $40 for new LEDs and the problem is solved. Reassembly was more difficult than expected plus the bezel refused to stay clipped in. Rather than forcing brittle plastic to comply, a bead of glue around the seam now holds everything together. Thank you!
Thank you very much for the detailed video! I used your video to replace the LEDs on my Samsung tv to resolve the black screen issue. You saved me 100s of dollars in buying a new TV!
Thank you from Detroit. Ordering LED strip now. Haven't disassembled yet, but left 20% of my Samsung went dark today. Guessing this would be the same thing. Chris
Success! Bought LEDs and power and control boards fm Jimmy... hardest part is opening the case then removing the white bezel as noted. Swapped boards to NO EFFECT (returned) ; only 1 LED was bad. WORKS like NEW... So because I bought a new 43 TV (not trusting my ability... compounded by the 'try to fix since it's already broken mentality) I now have an extra 43... so I bought an xBox for it! NO MONEY SAVED! :). Gotta love America! I do!
Good job James 👍 I personally would have replaced both of them. I've done this before before a few times and don't like doing it. It's still easier than taking most laptop's apart though 😉
Did some research on the Samsung tv ...ordered LED strips from aliexpress for a little over 8 dollars US which included shipping...also of note is to not keep the backlit settings on max...supposedly the LED's will last longer. I like the fact that you kept to bezel on the surface and lifted off the backing which had the circuit boards...made much more sense than flipping it over and lifting the glass off from the top.
I feel like the brightness of different brand led strips wouldn't match %100 but I'm super fussy haha, thankyou so much for taking the time to show this video , much appreciated:)
Awesome video I just changed out my led backlight so n by following urs n the Jimmy videos. Between urs n Jimmie I was able to replace my backlights for 19$. Thanks again for your video.
I really appreciate the video and thats what has prompted to take the job of fixing my tv myself as samsung is charging a fee of £100 just for callout . Thanks alot
The last two times i repaired a half screen working it was a bank of capacitors aka caps were bad. I just replaced 6 caps and it was back 100%. wish you well Duran the Handyman Dallas, TX
All I can say is that your video is great! Just took my 65 inch apart and fixing to order a new backlight. Thank you so much for very good instructions and close up shots. And Happy Easter from Georgia in the USA!
thanks a lot, you are the best lifesaver my grandson hit my new led TCL tv with his toy cricket bat and now he is upset that he can't watch his favorite cartoon show hopefully with your help I can resolve this problem
Omg I can't believe I found you! U fixed my tv. Its great. I just need the place where u bought the LED lights and the kind of lights with the numbers and everything else that goes with it. I have everything that came with my tv, bit they don't have anything like that in the instructions or about the television. Please help me if you can. Thank you so much. My tv is only like 2 years old and this shouldn't have happened. I hope to hear from you. Thanks again
Good video. I wish you had a list of the names of every tool used and a step by step guide. I’m going to try this but I wish I knew what to order to get everything done in one round.
Rather long and not straight to the point as was said however, the consequence was that it was informative and was not unpleasant at all. Thank you for making this video. 👍
Just fixed a TV I found being thrown out that had a bad backlight. Thank you sir! Total cost was $36 for LED strips and a remote plus an hour or so of work. I liked the intermission with the fruit. I am trying to grow some ice cream bananas too.
Woke up to my 3 year old, Samsung, 55" TV blacked out on one side, as well as a smaller portion on the opposite side, leaving only a small strip of picture remaining lit. I'm absolutely going to try this fix! No reason for fear...it's already broken and there's no way I'd pay to have it fixed. So, if I am successful great! If not, I need a new TV no matter. Thanks for this video, it is very well shot and you explain things in clear detail. I will update on my success or failure.
Thanks so much. My TV has this issue right now. I'll try to do this on my own, since the technical support is kind of expansive in my country. Thanks so much, señor. Saludos y muchas gracias desde Colombia.
Nice job James! I always am a little anxious opening up some of the newer electronics, especially like a TV. Thanks for the lesson, as always enjoyed your vlog!
Absolutely great demonstration video. Thanks for the education. BTW the reason I started watching you was your servicing of your Mitsubishi wall unit. From that point on I was hooked. Thanks, enjoy all the PI videos. Dennis from Texas
Just wanted to say thanks, because of your video I had the nerve to try and fix my tv. Great clear instructions and now all fixed, I can see all my screen again :) Thank you so much.
Thanks for this, very helpful, I repaired my tv by myself. I went to a "technician" to replace the mainboard, after that the screen was very dark and he said that the board wasn't working properly, I took my TV home and see your video. I disassembled all, and I realized the both Led strips were ok but the guy installed the transparent projector screen upside down :). So I change that and everything was perfect. Another thing to check is in the settings, go to Eco mode, if it is high then the screen will be dark. Thans again
Thanks. I tried to remove my LED lights upon doing it I pressed my thumb on it and it came back on, in this case caused me nothing. Appreciate your time and video,
Thank you so much for this video. I literally just fixed my 65 inch TV and I just had to run back here and comment. To think that I almost threw it away😭
Thank you so much for your help! Love what you did with the garage!! I'm trying to learn how to do repairs on tvs and have been learning myself for some years. Your video is the MOST clear and straightforward video out there. Thank you!!
I tried this - assembled everything back together after *slightly* cracking the screen by mistake, turned on the TV and... the image was completely corrupted and the TV was cracked beyond hope. Thanks! 😆
I have a Samsung 50" plasma that they quit making (because they were too good)-its picture quality is still awesome; it has lasted longer than every LED and projection TV I ever owned. I believe they quit making them because they lasted too long. The TV was purchased in 2010 and it looks brand new. I will say that what I believe has helped it last so long is the ceiling fan that always runs over top of it to keep it cool. That may have had something to do with its continuing longevity. Because plasma TV's do run hot.
I had a back light issue, tried a few standard things that didn't work so, using an open hand, i hit my samsung 3 to 4 times, firmly not hard, on the back upper left. Worked like a charm 😀

Follow up, it’s been 4 months and my LEDs are dead again. I’m only getting sound out of the tv and no picture. Looks like I’m ditching Samsung and going TV shopping
@@ky7037 Maybe faulty lights. Its quite a hassel to open up all of this just to hange a small led strip
Having a bit of a problem trying to disconnect the small plug from the led strip. Tried pushing in the 2 small tabs on side but it won’t budge. Tv repairers said this tv needed a totally new led screen £800. I insisted it was the backlight but they wouldn’t have it. What a rip off they are. Great video. Thank tou
@@ky7037 good move,,,I ditched the all Samsung name all together 10 years ago
I miss the days when you could just slap the TV up a bit and it would work
😄😄😄
😂 god I remember this 😂
😂
I agree. I bought a brand new 80" tv, had it for a week, i tossed a damn lighter onto the coffee table and it bounced into the tv, barely hit the tv... killed the tv... wtf is that shit
That was my first idea it doesnt work 😂

I totally agree. Great presentation and "soothing".
James, no Christmas card from Samsung this year lol
Thks great vid.
Repair not replace. Save the planet.
This is truly first tier self-reliance that many of us in the western world should take a note on. Ain't nobody gonna fix your screen in the province unless you know how to do it your self. Less e-waste, welldone!

You're so welcome! Great to hear your success and addition to your entertainment inventory!
Can I ask where you order your strip from?
Finally a video that actually shows how to fix it thank you, you just saved me six hundred dollars cause ive got two with the same problem

I have the exact same model and exact same issue. Appreciate your sharing how to repair this. I was hesitant to throw this away.
This video is golden! I just replaced the led strips in my 65 inch samsung! Thank you!
Interesting to see the inside of a TV. Surprising how easy it looked to repair it! Good for the environment!!

NO MONEY SAVED! :). Gotta love America! I do!
Good job James 👍 I personally would have replaced both of them. I've done this before before a few times and don't like doing it. It's still easier than taking most laptop's apart though 😉
Did some research on the Samsung tv ...ordered LED strips from aliexpress for a little over 8 dollars US which included shipping...also of note is to not keep the backlit settings on max...supposedly the LED's will last longer. I like the fact that you kept to bezel on the surface and lifted off the backing which had the circuit boards...made much more sense than flipping it over and lifting the glass off from the top.
The tip for not pushing the brightness to max is one of the best ways to avoid this LED burnout. I keep mine now on about 50%.
I feel like the brightness of different brand led strips wouldn't match %100 but I'm super fussy haha, thankyou so much for taking the time to show this video , much appreciated:)
This helped me a lot with my Samsung 49 inch TV. I saved a lot money! Thanks!
Awesome video I just changed out my led backlight so n by following urs n the Jimmy videos. Between urs n Jimmie I was able to replace my backlights for 19$. Thanks again for your video.
I really appreciate the video and thats what has prompted to take the job of fixing my tv myself as samsung is charging a fee of £100 just for callout . Thanks alot
I really appreciate you man you doing great job and you made me save some money for new tv
Just fixed my TV with this video and I'm very grateful thank you so much!!
Great to hear!
The last two times i repaired a half screen working it was a bank of capacitors aka caps were bad. I just replaced 6 caps and it was back 100%. wish you well Duran the Handyman Dallas, TX
Thanks for the tip from a pro!
All I can say is that your video is great! Just took my 65 inch apart and fixing to order a new backlight. Thank you so much for very good instructions and close up shots. And Happy Easter from Georgia in the USA!
thanks a lot, you are the best lifesaver my grandson hit my new led TCL tv with his toy cricket bat and now he is upset that he can't watch his favorite cartoon show hopefully with your help I can resolve this problem
Omg I can't believe I found you! U fixed my tv. Its great. I just need the place where u bought the LED lights and the kind of lights with the numbers and everything else that goes with it. I have everything that came with my tv, bit they don't have anything like that in the instructions or about the television. Please help me if you can. Thank you so much. My tv is only like 2 years old and this shouldn't have happened. I hope to hear from you. Thanks again
Hi ... I am looking for the same ting... :)
Bravo James well done and you saved a ton of money. I'm looking forward to part 2.
Thank you for this video. I took my time and followed your instruction and low and behold. Tv fixed. You are the man!!!! Thank you!!! :)
Side note: I kept hearing my wife in my head... you always break things, you are too impatient.... so I was very patient and gentle. Lol....
Good video. I wish you had a list of the names of every tool used and a step by step guide. I’m going to try this but I wish I knew what to order to get everything done in one round.
Rather long and not straight to the point as was said however, the consequence was that it was informative and was not unpleasant at all. Thank you for making this video. 👍
Just fixed a TV I found being thrown out that had a bad backlight. Thank you sir! Total cost was $36 for LED strips and a remote plus an hour or so of work. I liked the intermission with the fruit. I am trying to grow some ice cream bananas too.
Woke up to my 3 year old, Samsung, 55" TV blacked out on one side, as well as a smaller portion on the opposite side, leaving only a small strip of picture remaining lit. I'm absolutely going to try this fix! No reason for fear...it's already broken and there's no way I'd pay to have it fixed. So, if I am successful great! If not, I need a new TV no matter. Thanks for this video, it is very well shot and you explain things in clear detail. I will update on my success or failure.
Im wondering what the update is with tour repair because mine was doing the exact same thing
Glad to know what is inside, Samsung workshop can close down now.
I've saved your video and I will definitely be trying to fix my 43 inch myself. Thank you and wish me luck!
Wishing you luck!
Thanks so much. My TV has this issue right now. I'll try to do this on my own, since the technical support is kind of expansive in my country. Thanks so much, señor. Saludos y muchas gracias desde Colombia.
This clip is amazing, but it may be disturbing and causing indignation to the original brand provider. GREAT presentation. Jacolyn (Srilanka).
Awesome video! I just ordered 2 light strips from Amazon and going to replace them! I bought a new TV but this one will go in the basement :)
How I can find right led stripes for my Samsung qled,and from where I can order
VERY NICE WORKMANSHIP ILLUSTRATIVE. ENJOYED, TAHANKS
Nice job James! I always am a little anxious opening up some of the newer electronics, especially like a TV. Thanks for the lesson, as always enjoyed your vlog!
Great I have this Problem James , Think I will sit back and Learn
Good luck!
Thanks for the video I just change mine both and working perfectly. Take me around 2 hours
Oh my you are so smart and brilliant ❗👏👏👏👏
Absolutely great demonstration video. Thanks for the education. BTW the reason I started watching you was your servicing of your Mitsubishi wall unit. From that point on I was hooked. Thanks, enjoy all the PI videos.

I appreciate that vote of confidence! Thanks!
Nice video my tv needed 1 set of leds replacing. Thought loose connection. Once back together same problem but cracked screen! Oh well worth a try. 😅
I liked your video. You are a very cheerful guy and it was a much better experience than I expected watching your video.
Thanks so much for uploading this and making it easy to follow James. I've just followed this and repaired my own TV.
Great video! Thanks a lot for sharing it!
Great video Master. Thank you for showing me the way. May the force be with you.
Thank you kindly!
Just wanted to say thanks, because of your video I had the nerve to try and fix my tv. Great clear instructions and now all fixed, I can see all my screen again :)
Thank you so much.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this, very helpful, I repaired my tv by myself. I went to a "technician" to replace the mainboard, after that the screen was very dark and he said that the board wasn't working properly, I took my TV home and see your video. I disassembled all, and I realized the both Led strips were ok but the guy installed the transparent projector screen upside down :). So I change that and everything was perfect. Another thing to check is in the settings, go to Eco mode, if it is high then the screen will be dark. Thans again
Thank you for sharing in case this ever happens to anyone else.
Thanks. I tried to remove my LED lights upon doing it I pressed my thumb on it and it came back on, in this case caused me nothing. Appreciate your time and video,
Thank you so much for this video. I literally just fixed my 65 inch TV and I just had to run back here and comment. To think that I almost threw it away😭
Superb! Thank you for sharing this video. Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!
OCD dictates that as the new LEDs were slightly different then after all that work both LEDs strips should be replaced but hey what a good job 👍
I'm now brave enough to repair my 15 year old HD Samsung TV now that I know what's inside. It has a wobbly aerial socket (who uses those eh?)
Thank you so much! Now I have to try to fix my 43" TCL TV that has the same issue... no image!
Thank you so much for your help! Love what you did with the garage!! I'm trying to learn how to do repairs on tvs and have been learning myself for some years. Your video is the MOST clear and straightforward video out there. Thank you!!
Glad I could help!

I tried this - assembled everything back together after *slightly* cracking the screen by mistake, turned on the TV and... the image was completely corrupted and the TV was cracked beyond hope. Thanks! 😆
Thanks a lot for this video, by far the best one I have found. Worked on my 2017 Samsung TV.
Greetings from Spain!!
Great to hear!
I have a Samsung 50" plasma that they quit making (because they were too good)-its picture quality is still awesome; it has lasted longer than every LED and projection TV I ever owned. I believe they quit making them because they lasted too long. The TV was purchased in 2010 and it looks brand new. I will say that what I believe has helped it last so long is the ceiling fan that always runs over top of it to keep it cool. That may have had something to do with its continuing longevity. Because plasma TV's do run hot.
I had a back light issue, tried a few standard things that didn't work so, using an open hand, i hit my samsung 3 to 4 times, firmly not hard, on the back upper left. Worked like a charm 😀
Well done video!
You've got skills pa more, sir!
Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you very much!
@@MyPIDreamalways a pleasure.
