TV LED backlight strips and LED driver

LED strips are wired in series strings and run from a constant-current driver at high DC voltage (often around 80-200 V total). One dead LED opens the string and the driver shuts down. Test LEDs with a backlight tester, not a meter diode range, and replace all strips as a set.

TV power supply board

The power supply board makes a standby voltage that is always on, then switches on the main rails when the main board sends a power-on signal. Check standby, then the power-on signal, then main rails. The primary side holds a high-voltage charge.

LED backlight strip replacement (direct-lit LCD TVs)

On direct-lit sets the strips sit behind the LCD and optical sheets. The job is mostly careful handling: lift the panel by its frame, keep the sheets in order, replace the whole strip set by part number and test before closing.
