    Myself and a friend took 5 hours to take the tv apart reglue 14 reflectors and put it back together. In hindsight I should have taken the tv to be professionally repaired as if you don't stick these reflectors back precisely bits of light still shines through which is what's happened in my case

      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 🤣

      @@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.

      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.
