Replace Backlight LEDs on Samsung Curved 55” for $30 (UN55NU7300 / UN55NU7100 dim screen) 

IMPORTANT NOTE: On the burned plexiglass at 5:19, it's best to sand down / dremel the burned areas until they're gone, and then reinstall it into the TV the same way. If you do not dremel down the burned areas, TV will appear yellow like at 9:11. The way the plexiglass is made, it's supposed to darken the section closest to the LED and brighten the section away from the LED. Do NOT flip the plexiglass. 1.

I took mine for repairs and they told me it’s the screen so I returned it back home… Thank you very much 🙏 now I can fix mine💪🙏🙏

We followed your guide and were able to fix the tv so that it was watchable again but it was far more difficult for us noobs than it seemed in the video. Many of the little plastic tabs broke and a small chunk of the bezel broke, etc. The one issue that we have now is that when we turned it back on and could see the screen, the picture looks like its being viewed on say.. something like cardboard or some other sort of material and on the far right side, there's an inch where the picture stops instead of going to full side. We obviously messed something up in putting it back together and the two that helped aren't interested in repeating the pull apart process because it was such a hassle for us. No matter what though, the good news is that the process you demonstrated worked and we can now see the full screen. Whatever caused the other issues was something we somehow did. Thank you for the video.

I used your tutorial on my flat screen Samsung UN50NU7200. The components are exactly the same, except it doesn't have the white tabs securing the metal strip. Unfortunately, I hadn't read your comment about the plexiglass orientation and that dark-on-bottom/light-on-top thing, so I'll be re-doing it tomorrow. For now, the light strips are working great. Thank you so very much for a great video!

Fixed the family TV and saved 70% of the TV's cost (what their asking for repairs) THANKS!!!

Hey, thanks a lot for the guide. Based on your video I successfully repaired slightly different model (6 series instead of 7). While there were some differences your video was a great start. Now I just hope those "original" led strips from AliExpress won't die after 2 weeks

Thanks for the useful video. Fixed mine 55" in 45 minutes. Big up 👍

Hi, i just want to say thank you for the video. It was perfect to follow. Ive replaced LEDs on my TV and saved myself £££ buying new one. Only cost me a £10 for 2 LEDs strips from Ali Express. Bonus! Thanks again.

Few tips for anybody giving it a go: 1) when you get to remove the LCD panel I found if you very carefully slide a bed sheet) or something similar) under the panel you can easily slide the panel from the base without damaging it. 2) tape the 2 white sheets under the (LCD Panel) together so you don’t lose their orientation/order. 3)do the same for the plexiglass and white backing as it is KEY this goes in the correct way or light will not amit correctly. 4) make sure the white frame clips securing the felxiglass are fixed in correctly. (I made this mistake and I had a lot of LED bleed along the bottom edge just from 2 clips not in correctly) 5) if you put it all back together and the bottom of the screen is very light and top very dim. Your Felxiglass is upside down. Unfortunately you have to take it all apart again and turn it so the top edge is at the bottom. Trust me it a lot easier to take apart the second time. ( you can also plug the tv in with just the plexiglass clipped in to see if the light is covering the entire panel. Instead of reassembling the whole tv to find it's not). But Thanks Man what a helpful video! Wouldn’t have tried doing this myself if I didn’t watch it and now have a good as new working TV!

Thanks a lot for you and all the other youtubers. I managed to watch these videos and fix my TV for just 1/10th of the repair cost.

Excellent Video! Thank you for posting!! Let me ask you this.... Why is it that just about everything Samsung makes, turns out to be absolute crap!?? We purchased all new higher end Samsung black stainless appliances in 2018. In the first year the microwave failed twice. The oven part of the range failed twice, the fridge ice maker froze over daily and stopped producing ice. The metal finish is so thin that it dents with almost no pressure. Now our 2 year old 75" OLED backlight has failed on the right side. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SAMSUNG PRODUCT EVER AGAIN.

I so appreciate when others risk breaking their stuff to show me how not to. Thank you!

I think I'll just shoot mine

Fantastic video - thanks! My son and I had a great afternoon project and the TV is working beautifully. Had a minor panic when we turned it on and the screen was black. Realised we hadn’t connected the ribbon cables correctly so pulled it apart and reseated them. That fixed it and our heart rates returned to normal

it is great to watch this one even a fresher can do this thanks for the well narrated video....

This was a good video. I have the same problem with my backlight in my UN48js9000f. I’m gonna attempt your method. Pray for me

Most detailed and comprehensive tv repair vlog I've ever seen, there isn't anything better than this, more power to you my friend.

Just thank you man, ur a money saver

Hi, just came across your video, it's brilliant this is what i was looking for it was a BIG help thanks .

They also burn and damage the Diffusers .

This walkthru guided me thru the entire process on a 7100fxza that was given to me for free! It is working good as new! 🙌🙏 Thank you SO much!

Tried with LG TV and snapped a ribbon cable when trying to get the back off, so had to bin it.

great video! but one question: whn you place the lcd panel on the sofa, isnt there any issues regarding dust and so on? which will be stuck no inside the TV?

Is the tv afected if the plexi glas is broked in half

Amigo buen video nomas q el problema es q el difusor esta al reves por eso se ve asi y solo se puede poner de una pocicion si lo volteas la luz no sera pareja hay q cambiar difusor

I just followed your video to successfully replace the backlights on my Samsung 55 inch tv. But half an hour after watching a bit of tv the newly replaced LED strip burnt out on the same side as it did with the old LED strip.. :( Any idea why?

Very good video. Thanks for your help

Dude, I want that couch! LOL

Did repositioning that paper help with the back light bleed? I have the same issue after replacing the LEDs. I hate opening up this TV lol

My Samsung LED TV has same backlight problem... would you repair it? If u then let me know how much it'll cost? I can't afford to pay more money

Same problem with my tv thank you for your video

Hi I have a issue and I really need help I replace backlight in a samsung UN65TU8000FXZA after installing the new light I test all with my backlight tester all work fine. After putting the tv back and plugging it in the backlight is not powering on.The powerboard is working because I'm getting power about 280v for the backlight. So my question is what could be the problem could it be the white connection between the powerboard and the lights. I forgot to mention I test the backlight using my backlight tester and the backlight work. I have some needle leads to my backlight tester so that's how I was able to test inside white connections.

Great video. I just want to ask if the cracks on the plexiglass don't matter because there are quite a few of them.

I cracked my screen removing it. Be VERY CAREFUL with it. I thought I was, but it is ridiculously brittle. Not buying another curved tv just for that reason. Oh well, time to go shopping 🤦🏻‍♂️

I repaired a same 55 Samsung tv like this but i has light bleeding like your tv, you said the problem is the position of tge first white paper.how should i do it on the first white paper to fix light bleeding in the bottom ?

If anyone can help me, I changed it out but on both sides of my TV about 2 inches in, there is a small black strip going all the way up the screen now. What did I mess up to cause this?

Thanks very much, I used this video to fix my own issue, sadly, as careful as I tried to be I cracked the screen. Knew it was over but decided to carry on anyway. Anyone thinking about doing this, please be so careful. I barely moved the screen and it cracked. On the bright side I've just ordered a 70 inch ambient light Philips. 😁

So I accidentally got the ribbon to tear off of the board. Can I solder it back on?

Hi now i have no image but both side led work and sound work help me please

I Would have liked a few shots of the whole back of the tv, can you confirm what boards are they, main board, power board etc?. Before I dismantle ours I am wondering if it is worth it cost wise. Ours went bang & I would like to replace all boards as I suspect the power board took them all out?.

Ummm. Yea, FCK that. I'd buy a new TV first

மக்களே இப்படி தவறான முறையில் வேலை செய்யாதீங்க, ஒழுங்கா வெளிச்சம் வராது

nice video, quick question tho, i have a samsung UE43NU7199 with the exact same problem but i can't find any backlights on ebay for that exact serial number, will any 43" samsung backlights work? or the ones from the NU7100 series maybe? please help

Thank you. And, Subscribed 😊

Is Un55ku6500 similar I have image but I'm getting white spots why idea what that is?

I really wish you showed how to safely move the lcd panel instead of transition to it being done. My brother and I were on the last step of moving the lcd panel back in place with a team lift, only for the screen to crack in the same corner I replaced the broken leds. Now instead of half a screen being black, I have about %96 a screen with a crack in the corner. How did you move the lcd panel multiple times as one guy without cracking it?

Excellent very informative...

Thanks great video having the same problem with the same model now I know what to get and how to fix

Kinda helpful tutorial, coz my Samsung Curved TV (UA49KU6300G) has a vertical lines and some black spots on the screen. Im just assuming it has the same teardown process and im gonna try it now. Thankyou for uploading this.

@EdwardTX I own a Gigabyte 32" Monitor G32QC and need to replace one of the light strips as I have a black bar, indicating that one of the backlights is not working. Could you provide the part number or share a link to the backlight strip that would be compatible with my monitor?

I need the LED for my Samsung UN65JS9500F can you tell me where I can get them? I can't find them anywhere Ebay or Amazon pls help Mr thanks

This is the problem of my tv... hope i can buy the led here in the Philippines...

This has how many leds? All together

Great video thanks so much

Great video. I have one now that needs the repair. Could I put do anything such as adding thermal paste to help prevent over heating again?

i have an old tv i wasnt able to open, while not the same model was similar enough to be guided by this video! thanks a lot!

hi can you share to where i can buy LED strips fir Samsung TV 55inch curved model UA55H6800? please share the link online shop 🙏. i am from Indonesia difficult to get that part localy 🙏

My curved samsung tv 32 inches was hit by my son and got broken. Any lead on where i can buy the screen part?

I have a curved on different model it turns on go's to a blue screen then shuts off my electronic mentor says it's probably a resistor on the power supply. Dose that sound right? Mine is a Samsung UN65KU650DFXZA

Hi..how many backlight i need to replace my samsung 55 inch tv?thanks

Bro that is not a spatula, it’s a hand scraper.

Thanks, it was very useful, guided me to replace mine, too.

what would it look like if you cracked only the black screen

So I’m following your video up to the point where you have to remove the cover source PCB panel at 2:45 and there is no white hooks. What do I do? I’m using a NU7100 50inch

Samsung has big problem with pleksiglass. Sony is better then Samsung in this.

I’m about to try this… worst case scenario I guess I buy a new tv…

thanks a lot from the Phil,

Hi. I find your videos really helpful. Is it going to be the same process for Samsung Ua43nu7100? Your response will mean so much. Thanks! 🙂

Great video! Thank you very much for putting this up @Edward in TX I had a single LED malfunctioning... During the process of removing the old LED, a short happened and damaged more LED. I removed the old LED strip from both sides, installed the new one, tested and all lights were lighting up correctly. When I put everything back, I noticed that half of my screen has no colors... Do you have any ideas on what the issue might be? and or how to fix it? I checked my flat cables and they are all inserted correctly. The colors on the the TV were working before I changed the LEDs Thank you! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hLsFgRsC4xg.html

Hey guys jus looking for some help 3 mths ago a technician supposedly replaced the strips on my samsung 43 inch smart tv. Problem has now risen again as i have no light on screen but can hear sounds and see images if i shine a light on it. Tv power light blinks 5 times when turned on. Didnt find much help on the web

Near my entertainment center I have always kept a filtered 12x12 box fan , I've never had anything ever go out on me because of this . Started when I was young I got to have my box fan near me and as I learned heat was the main failure of electronics and noticable heat coming from tv, computer, Xbox and or surround sound.

Can you pls tell me if my model is au55nu7300g. can i use au55nu7300k backlight??

I need ur help,how can u help me.

Top portion , central portion lower central portion light is very low, because you are fix reflector is wrong direction, so your video is purely waste Waste video

this operation is incredibly risky, since I broke a TV by moving the lcd panel, it is very fragile

hi my tv is flickering...may i know what is the reason..want to try to fix by myself

Hi Edward i changed the backlight and everything is ok except there is a bright spot in the middle bottom abit...what is the possible causes ya?

Thia aeems like a lot.

Very very wrong

great video ... but i dont have great skill... cracked my lcd but backlight is replaced... :(

Fake video😂

I did this repair and everything went well following your instructions. I also had a crack in my plexiglass but unfortunately flipping it around created a big shadowed area in upper portion of the screen. Just had to install it the way it was and all is well!! Thank you very much for this video!! 👏🙏

After attempting the repair about 25% of my screen (bottom half) is bright while the rest of 75% is a bit dim. I read someone else posted the same issue about a year ago

Hi i think i made a mistake the back light strip wont light up. What should be the problem.?

How much the cost of that backlight model

Thanks man! It helped a lot, after I replaced the back light, the top looks darker than the bottom. Is there a reason why?

Great video, unfortunately I haven’t made it past the fifth minute I have already crack the panel really badly which is a shame I was really excited to fix this tv since I liked it more than the replacement they sent me. It is a great tv such a shame that it breaks just by looking at it.

Do you have a video to repair the cracked screen

You are always pinned in my messages , I am don't worry

thanks

Thanks. How to remove LED strips from base? Mine LED's are glued so hard screwdriver trick isn't for it. Any other tricks? Maybe some liquid tp desolve or heathing it up?

You will still have a big issue. If u don't change the white panel that spread the light.... the leds will get burned again very short. Best option to buy another one same model and replace both (leds and lens panel)

Quick question, are the ribbon cables supposed to go on top or under the pins?

Hello 👋, I did this repair on my tv the only issues is the top of the tv is not bright enough , bottom lighting is perfect just top half what issue could I have ?

Are the backlight LEDs for ue55nu7100k and ue55nu7100 the same?

Ummmm, no. Just going t buy a new t.v. Thanks anyway.

Curve isnt great idea because everything expands upon heat thats why it cracked

I did all the procedures correctly and replace the LEDs but the display won't turn on and I checked the ribbon cables and they seem to be fine and well plugged in but the display is still all black

Would this process be the same for all newer Samsung tvs? I have a UN58RU7100

I followed the instructions and replaced the LED but now the screen is entirely black. Panel and plexiglass all fine. What could have gone wrong. I am only hearing the sound but no display at all
