Don't like these TVS but I want one 

wired like xmas tree lights even though there in 2 halfs the power supply wants to see both halfs at approx 150 - 190 vdc and sees the leds as one strip.The power supply is a smart cookie, it looks at the current drain of the leds, too high to low it will shut the power down to the leds of even the complete tv.

I have this exact tv i use it with the backlight turned wright down so hopefully it lasts a long time other than it constantly has ARC problems now and then its a fine tv just hitting 4 years old this year Great vid Alan

sometimes you can modify the chassis to move the led strips over a hair to avoid the burned/cracked bits.

Great video Allen. But, please let us know how the shed cat is? Haven't seen her for a while.

never had a curved tv also would be nice to try one out

If you get stuck I think I have a complete one with a small crack on the screen and the backlights and sheets are good

I did manage to find a brand new diffuser sheet for a SAMSUNG UE49NU7300 for £40 form SOS parts. Not sure if they are the same.

Is it possible to rotate the lens 180 degrees to avoid the melted plastic?

The edge lights are out, but are there any other faults ? I hope the set from ebay bring this set back to life. This sort of issue will become more common as the makers push for brighter panels and users leave them at full brightness, and they call it progress ?

Allen, Maybe the power supply has a fault, the burnt-out LED's could have fused the on supply on the psu I had one like that on a LG.
