Samsung TV White Spots on Screen? QUICK Fixes 

Haha, no, not so easy. But on the upside, I was expecting much worse. Take your time, be super careful, keep the screws organized, and you'd be surprised what you can do! ------ Years ago I was given a broken tv, the whole circuit board that powered the LEDs died. The tv seemed dead, but if you held a flashlight up to it, you could see a faint image. So I bought a new circuit board off of eBay (scavenged from a similar tv). But it didn't work. So I replaced the other two circuit boards as well. Still didn't work. Turns out the eBay seller had not tested the board and sent me a replacement with the exact same problem. So I had to buy a fourth board. In the end, I probably could have bought a used tv for the same price. I would have given up, but it was my girlfriend's parents that gave me the tv, and I didn't want to admit that I couldn't fix it. It was a can of worms, but I had something to prove 🤣

Picturing undoing the screws then a million pieces flying out when I pull off the back cover

Lol. Its a pain. The other reflectors fall off as you put it back together again.

@@poolsnookered3446So, taking off and gluing the other ones to guarantee they won’t fall sooner maybe?

Lol, exactly! Same here...😄

@@EdGar-qn8pf and I guess you're also in no hurry to fix it.. though past the warranty, too many screws involved and so-forth..

Mine too. It's lovely!

Same here thought it was.a moon at first in a movie

@@patlane430 I would hesitate to call it planned obsolescence;)

Epoxy. It resists heat.

@@ggmtv1394 thanks!

You're welcome!

They'll increase. I had 1, have about 7 now

Me too .. my tv also is hot so maybe the glue melted 😩

@@lorivansickle9707 engineered obsolescence

What yall do to fix it? Is it worth buying a tv with this issue already?

@@user-lc7zt8sk6i apparently if you call Samsung they will dispatch a technician to your house. I would definitely pay a fee to have all of those LED diffusers popped off and then put back on with brand-new glue. Sure would beat dropping another $1,500 on a new TV when other than the white spot everything works perfectly.

It's a pretty easy (and free) fix though. But still annoying.

Manufacturing cost - everything's made as cheaply as possible now for maximum profit

the are just designed like this so warranty is only for 12 months - Sony is better

Have you fixed it?

My tv 7dots

@@sukraagoldcoveringI have 11 now and they're not all white. A few of them have a blue tint to them. I tried the reboot and software update. No glory. The thing that sucks here is that my TV is 3D and I really don't want to get rid of it. I may try to find a local repair shop. I thought my days of taking electronics apart were over. 😭

What does it sound like when you hear diffusers fall off?

@@daggeo6279 multiple clicking sounds as the diffuser knocks against other diffusers on the way down. Similar to tapping a pen against a plastic surface.

I know what you mean

Without a doubt its the refletors come of.mainly from moving the tv.take the back of.i dont think so unless you have given up on this tv.but then why bother you can find a cheap tv

I successfully repaired the actual problem, but damaged the very corner tip of one of the front panels, ruining the display. Was big & expensive enough to have a try. I'm now convinced that the hardest part of flat screen repairs is reassembly. Which I certainly would not bother attempting again, especially on a cheaper one.

Or get a new tv?

@@bernardwadding way cheaper to fix the free one than to buy new

How it go?

@@whotheproducer hot glue is the best thing ever

I dont know. Whatd you do?

that means one of your covers for the LED light is not lined up correctly. You have to check all them with the power on to see where the light is escaping the cover.

this

Power surge probably caused some kind of overvoltage on the LEDs which damaged one or more. I would take the TV apart and eyeball them to be sure.

Yep, sometimes that's the best way

The quick fix!

You should be able to fix it!

Mine is an LG and it’s doing this same thing. 3 rows of diffused, fuzzy lights that I can only see when the background is a light solid color. Worrisome! I don’t know a thing about TVs. 🥺

I'm with you, this is my second Samsing TV with issues, onto another brand, maybe LG or Sony.

What were the problems with the other one? @@vfr800ification

@@vfr800ificationMy LG is doing it, too! 😔

Clean your ears!

@@johnjustice8860My hearing’s perfect, you’re mumbling.

Use headphones, for God's sake

Rather, I sought more cogent, more professional help. It was a good move, too.

@@BillSpaceyou might think your hearing is fine but I have no problem understanding him and my phone is only at half volume with ear buds. Regardless, it’s kinda petty to be so bent about someone offering FREE help. 🙄

sounds like a personal problem

Sounds like a bad public voice selection to me.@@Yordleton

Love it

don't use superglue because it's not heat stable. any kind of epoxy will be fine - just get the cheapest one
