I watched this video two times through before attempting this repair and then walked through each step. I was successful in making this repair. Two things I did that are not mentioned in the video that helped immensely was 1: cup and label all screws and brackets. 2: wear blue nitril gloves when handling the scan glass.
Tone Hobart what did the gloves do? I’m currently trying to replace my LEDS
Chazz did you fix your tv?
No not yet gonna do it this weekend
Chazz getting my strips today in mail going to try to fix it today wish me luck
Lemme know how it goes and any tips you have
Followed this procedure and now have backlighting. It was not that difficult, just take your time and don't force anything apart. One thing ShopJimmy could do to improve the video is show how to remove the ribbon cables at the 2:20 mark. The clip actually hinges away from the end of the ribbon. If you don't know this, you could force the cable out and damage it. Kudos to ShopJimmy for providing this to their customers!
Dude, if you're still around thank you!! That helped me out so much.
just did this. Took about an hour using video to guide. be careful when taking off the ribbon cables. There is a flip up "thingy" that releases them. Don't just pull on them (like I did!).
Pretty straightforward and easy.
Repaired my tv! Thanks for the video. 3 things to add: 1) He makes the back cover look easy to remove. It isn't, it is not just screwed on, but snapped on. 2) If your tv is a few years old, it will be dusty. It took some time for me to give it a good cleaning. 3) Most importantly, the connectors at the center of the light strips are not all the same, but are staggered somewhat in length. You must match the holes on the reflector board with the connectors and all lights. Don't stick them on before you check this, like I did. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the heads-up about the light strips!
Phenomenal walkthrough. Very thorough and everything in clear view. My E47 is back up and running brighter than ever. Thanks. Catalog your screws guys because there's a ton of them.
This video is fantastic. I had a tough time getting the back panel off. I just had to muscle it. One of the clips broke but I was able to put it back together. The hardest part was keeping track of all the screws. The other thing was making sure the new led strips laid flat. I had to slightly twist them (do this carefully). Having them lay flat means they will stick better.
Worked great! Finished job in less than 2 hours. My TV was the 47” version of the Visio TV. It has 12 LED strips instead of 10. Otherwise, exactly the same. Have a clean workspace, good lighting, and a muffin pan to keep your screws organized as you disassemble. Keep your kids and pets away. Thank you for this video. I ordered my LEDs from shopjimmy
Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome. Thank you so much. I have the E420d-a0 and had already replaced the power and main board but TV still wouldn't power on. My Vizio after pressing the power button would do nothing and the power light would fade off. About 1000 talk about this same issue, but nobody ever said what would fix it. I found a random post on the internet saying if a LED strip goes out, the power board will go into a self protection mode, go down in voltage (as mine did using a voltmeter from your other video) and could prevent the TV from powering on. Yes a busted LED strip can prevent the whole TV from turning on. I ordered the light strips from you, followed this video step by step, and the TV WORKS! I really wanted to save this Vizio as it's a 3D TV and they aren't made anymore. It was worth me replacing parts. THANK YOU!
I received my strips this week. Installed them today. Voila! It worked! Thanks so much. The two ribbon cables gave me fits re-attaching them until I figured out they don't just insert. There's like a rocker arm you flip down, insert the cable, then flip the rocker arm back up. Otherwise, everything went smoothly.
Tom Hansen what causes you to change your stripes does your tv turn off and on ?
Successfully replaced the LEDs in my E550i-A0 using this video. Couple of minor differences with the 55" (i.e. You don't need to remove the boards to push out the reflector clips; there is also a long wire connected to the top of the inner filter bezel that I believe is just a ground, can be removed easily during repair). Thank you so much for the video and parts, saved me a lot of money!
Greg, what did your display look like before your replaced the LED strips ?
Great how-to video. I bought the strips from ShopJimmy and was able to follow this step by step. Took me about 2 hours (working carefully) including time to remove and re-install the back cover. TV is back from the dead now. Thanks.
Worked for the Vizio 50 inch D50-D1, Some minor differences but the basics are the same. Took me 2 hours to do and had to replace 2 strips. Saved me a ton of money. Thanmk you for posing this tutorial.
This was the most comprehensive video. It helped me every step of the way. Thank you!!
I just used this video to replace the LCD lights on the 50" version of this TV. Worked like a charm. I suggest you do all things suggested, don't skimp or you will be sorry.
Just finished replacing mine. Came out great. Thanks!
That's awesome. Congrats!
Just fixed mine! Same make and model. Thanks for the LED strips and the detailed video!
This is so helpful, Now I have to get the led strips for the Vizio D50u-D1. Thank you so much for putting this together. Television repair wanted 160 dollars to do this for one strip. Again, Thank you
Just changed out the LED strips on my 60" Vizio using this video as a guide.
Worked great! My TV is like new again
Where did you find the led strips
Instructions worked fine. LED strips shipped quickly. Thanks. DIY-ers should be aware that there are 2 different length strips for this TV: R1-L1s and R2-L2s Only took me a second to see the difference.
Video was essential to successful repair...appreciated the diagnostic tips to make sure I got the right parts for the job.
Thanks! Great tutorial. The pace was perfect. Some of these TVs don't have that wifi connector at the bottom. Mine is one that didn't. This fixed my TV as good as new. Thanks again!
Thank You Thank You @ShopJimmy.com for the awesome parts and the even better tutorial. This TV was destined for the dumpster but you made it possible for it to live on! Cheers!!!
Shopjimmy you guys are legends!! Followed all your videos with the multimeter as well as this one and tv works like new!!!! Thanks a million!!!
Excellent tutorial. Tv is back up and running, Thx
freaking awesome followed your instructions bought your LED strips and I'm back in business. thank you so much
Have this exact model, ordering my strips today. thanks for the video.
I can't even get the F'n back cover off. I took out all the screws including the one under the stand, double and triple checked that I didn't miss any. Been prying away for an hour and it wont' budge. They always make stuff look so easy in videos but it actual practice it's nearly impossible.
You might want to get a "spudger" tool. There are little clips all the way around the seam that hold the two pieces together, that tool can help a lot with those. Took me a while even with that, just have to be slow and careful.
Very good movie, helped me get access to LED strips in my LG 42LA620S.
Thank You Jimmy.
Great guide. Replaced my LEDs and the set works perfect now. Was surprised to see that my Vizio E470-A0, despite all Vizio documentation and packaging referring to it as edge lit, is in fact not an edge lit tv. As you can see in this video, there are in fact no leds around the edges of the set. Strange.
This video was very helpfull! I got my 55" Vizio fixed thanks to you! TY TY TY
Just changed the strips, no problem TV works great. Just read the tips and comments and don't rush as it is really easy to break something. When I took the cover off the first thing I saw was a LG sticker on the frame.
Jeep Cherokee It was on your vizio?
Yes Vizio but it probably is LG built. Just put Vizio on the outside.
Jeep Cherokee LG makes the panels for many TV suppliers. In fact the only two companies that actually make their own panels are LG and Samsung
TV is working like new. Thanks!
Thank you! Successful installment! Great video, made it easy to follow step by step. Parts from shopjimmy arrived quickly. As other have said label those screws. Another tool I would recommend is an isesame or equivalent for cracking open the outer shell and popping out the side control board.
I'm having trouble opening the back cover. Will the isesame tool make it significantly easier?
Yes it should work. Just take your time and you might have to make a few passes around the case to get the back cover to separate from all of the little plastic clips. And yes it made it a lot easier and gave confidence that I wasn't going to damage anything.
Great tutorial!!! Fixed my TV
Any idea for the replacement LEDs? the LEDs parts from your link is not available anymore.
Found this very useful, help replace my LED Strips without any issues. TV looks new again. What's the recommendation of brightness and back light levels to have them last longer?
Fixed it with this guide. Thanks.
is it possible to use other models leds in a tv i got one that is bad but on your website it says out of stock i cant find the light anywhere
Great video. Two things though. 1. Don’t let the led strips touch the metal before you connect them to the distributor board and/or to each other. They are extremely sticky. I 2. Be extremely careful with the dark screen it bends easily and lay it on a flat surface and use two people. I moved mines alone and cracked it. I have the same model in the video(e420i-a0) so if anyone needs brand new led lamps or the power board or the other board or speakers, let me know and we can work out a really cheap deal.
dirty south ...
U still have
A Ewel
Yes I do
Thank you very much; worked like a charm.
Hi I have been working on a Panasonic TC55AS540 C LED TV that will not power up. Red LED indicator comes on solid red. TV backlight flashes 3 times over about 15 seconds, then TV appears to go into standby mode (flashing red LED.) Replaced power supply and main boards with units from TVParts Today. No change to operation, Tried replacing boards independently,(mix & match. ) Same result
How did you test the strips?
If Just one led went out. Do you still need to replace all of them?
Do you test the leds with an external bench power supply?
Hi I have an LG 47LN5750 I have an issue with horizontal lines flickering around my screen, and dragging the picture down a few inches every 4 seconds then back to normal. There's also a line running across the display one of those common problems, any solutions for these issues? Primarily the former since the line isn't really as much of an eye sore as flicking lines and images everywhere.
Quick question....Picked up a Samsung on side of road with led burnt. Any possible quick fix or must I replace whole strip? Also even though a strip is removed I should still be able to turn the tv on to see if rest of lights work. If this is not true please tell me. I can get them to blink but that is it. That is with 1 strip out.
When troubleshooting I stripped down to the LEDS. They're blinking slowly and dimly. While trying to test voltages on them occasionally a strip or two will light up. Is there a way I can tell which strip is bad? Or safe bet to just replace them all? I was getting. 130v. On the psu board.
Hi there, I have a Vizio TV model E55OI-AO and the LED strips in the middle seem to failing. It has a dark tint all the across the middle. I am having trouble locating the panel number for my TV. Is there a specific location on the TV for this number?
i have a vizio 48 inch smart tv e48c2 is the model number. will this fix screen issues? it has a crack in it but not in the actual glass
Hey Jimmy my tv isn't showing pictures and the power button isn't powering on the tv this happened when their was a power outage you did help me already with my tv before so I need your help again thanks.Kester
excellent service
Thank you! Used this to fix my vizio E500i-A0
Hannibal Lamb their website.
Tonight it told me they were out of stock on their website, so I did a google search, and can't find a set of strips anywhere...Obsolete???
hi,jimmy, i has question, but i do in spanich,ok? yo viendo tu video de como instalar los leds al tv vizio model no. E420I-AO, Pero el problema que tengo es que el tv que yo le voy a conectar los FLEX que es un E470I-AO y al conectar los flex alas tarjetas finitas que estan en la parte de abajo los flex me quedan alreves...y no se como conectarlos como deben de ir, pues cuando los desconecte por primera vez no me percate de ese asunto y ahora ce me hace dificil conectarlos...como deben de ir...me podrias ayudar en eso... te lo agradesco mucho..Gracias mil y perdona el que te alla escrito en espanol. pues se que tu tienes alguien que entiende espanol.....gracias...ANGEL...
Jimmy, how much would it cost to get a pro to fix my vizio e420i- ao? we were watching the tv one day a POOF it went black....still black today.
What order should the LED's be put back in? Does it make a difference? I've got the bottom 3 as L1R1 then the top 2 as L2R2.
Hola amigo muy bueno gracias por tu sabiduría
I have the exact same TV. the center went out. it would work a while then stop. on and off for about a month. now it won't light up at all in the center. does your light kit come with all the strips needed? would be kind of stupid to not replace them all while apart
I was watching my Samsung - 60" Class (60" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - 120Hz - HDTV, Model #: UN60EH6000FXZA and it turned off. When I push the power button I see the light go on the light flashes. What could be wrong with my TV, any suggestions?
I have an LG with the same exact issue. It is because one or more individual LED lights have burned out and the tv is preventing them all from turning on. The tv senses a drop in resistance or something in the strips with burnt out lights so it wont let any come on for more than a second. You can see the screen with a flashlight right? I am going to attempt to fix my LG with LED strips out of a Vizio. They look identical. I'll post back to let everyone know how that goes and if it works. Tried to solder individual LED's in the LG but I couldn't find the correct size LED's, hopefully the strips may be the same in the Vizio. I'm trying to avoid paying around 100 bucks online for all new LED strip set.
My tv has four plastic clips and two of them were broked while I was replacing lcd strips.
where could I buy the plastic clips?
I have the same dark band across my screen. Model Vizio e470i A0. It's only about 2 years old.
If my screen its not cracked but look like a spider web when I turn it on you think I can fix it doing this?
How much is a new panel? I was given a tv and the panel is chipped on the bottom left same model but a 47in
Will it be pretty obvious where the new led strip placement should be? I would imagine it needs to be precisely placed where the old ones were.
I have a vertical black bar in the middle of the screen. I was wondering if the leds went out in the middle of the tv.
Where can I find the panel number so I know which LEDs to buy? I am using a e470i vizio
+ShopJimmy.com Hey great video why doesn't part # BN96-13067A X-Main Board for the model PN42C430A1D model code PN42C430A1DXZA have that small additional board with the ribbon female attachment to it , i need to order a x sustain, or x main board for this model but want to make sure this is the correct part i followed your diagnostics video where i heard clicking and red power light stayed on when i removed the y board connector, then when i removed the x main board connector with the y board connected then applied power the greeen light on the main logic control board was steady and i heard the chime no clicking , the tv was also tested by an electrician they marked the x sustain board as bad but i wanted to double check with you guys , i need the correct part please reply
How much is it for the replacement strips on the same TV symptoms of my TV I see a white light for a fraction of a second
thank you so much
I followed this video and before none of the led strips were working afterwards only half the strips were working. The three that were not working connected to the wires that are labeled LED 1- and LED 1+ on the power BOARD. I did try switching around some of the strips and they all worked when they were connected to the LED 2- and LED 2+ path. Any idea where I should look next for the problem?
Jordan I have the same problem (indeed I had this problem for a while before the TV failed, so now I am afraid same thing will happen again with the new LEDs). I have the Vizio E470i-A0, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th positions (out of 6 horizontal positions) are not working. Did you have the same problem? Do you think these positions could correspond to LED 1 or 2 (I would've thought they would be split in half in order as in 123, and 456; instead of 234, 156 like what I'm seeing). I'm thinking my issue could even be the distributor board strip.
Great video! Question: how exactly do you "test the LEDs before reassembling the TV?" Just plug it in and turn the TV on?
That's what I did. Both boards in and connected, but you don't need the WiFi and IR boards connected.
Either the top part of my screen is kind of dark and I think that I'm looking for a LED strips or whatever the board is that controls the LEDs possibly
what are the exact symptoms? Some go out? I can't believe the LEDS would go bad...
thanks a lot
I have a question that was not covered in the video. In order to test the LEDs, is there anything you need to reattach before you just plug it in and try it?
spineyswordfish I have the same question, but saw he didn't answer you. Did you just plug yours in? Want clear in video, but sure looked like it
I have a Vizio 42" E420i-BO Smart TV. If you plug it in, it will either 1: do absolutely nothing 2: power on and display the vizio logo continuously and not allow you to do anything and/or lose power or "reboot" randomly 3: it will work okay for a minute, then power off. Tv had been out of commission for about 6 months until i decided to try seeing how difficult replacing the main board or power supply board would be. Bought a used power supply board for $10. Put it in and eventually concluded that the TV does the same thing with the "new" board installed. I just ordered the complete tv repair kit from shopjimmy.com. Does this not seem to be a power issue? When the TV will actually turn on, the backlight, remote sensor, panel, picture, inputs, apps, memory all seemed to work fine. In theory, the kit should fix this problem, correct? Does this model also have a t con board that could potebtially be the problem or is it built onto the main board?
Hey man, for you to just act like that shit slides right off at 1:19 is bullshit. The hardest part of this was getting the back cover off. You got beginners out here man, show them that they aren't breaking that whenever they try.
This guy is giving FREE repair tips/advise and you call BS?
Lets see you post a better video then
victor....take a chill pill.....
You are right Victor., once I tried to get the remote sensor by myself, and couldn't get the stupid cover off, so I decided to bring it to a technician after telling him I knew it was the sensor. It cost me near $100 parts and labor.
model no CI21JST200B
crt tv black bar down side after 2minit working problem is solution what's the problem please send solution
When removing the tape around the perimeter of the light case (5:27), do you need new tape to replace the old?
I found the tape does not need to be removed. Each bracket will hinge away from the case. Just be careful when handling the casing during subsequent steps.
How do I get me some led like
FAST AND EASY
Are you expecting to have the LEDs in stock soon?
Would replacing the leds on a vizio e470i a0 be similar to this?
Same exact thing. Just got done replacing them 5 minutes ago. Works Great!
Thx
Tim Ortiz where did you get your LED strips from... my 47in went out also
Replaced the LED strips and tested them - they work. Put the rest of the TV back together and no picture at all. We have audio but somehow we lost the picture. Really infuriating considering how much time we spent on this project. Any ideas? Please help
did you get a bad strip?
my vizio e47oi-ao tv powers on blue screen bought new main board from shopjimmy.com still powers up blue screen
Awsome video shout out to shop jimmy very helpfull successfuly replaced the leds but ended up damaging my panel on accident while repairing it anyone have one for sale?? Vizio E470I-A0 is the model i have
What model strips did you purchase
Hi everyone I have problem with my samsung led UA40D5003BR it's showing wide black line in the upper side of it , sometimes it's blink others is steady so what's wrong? I have a photo of it if you want to see it ..... Thanks a lot guys
can you send to me the PC
I worked in samsung 2 years ago
Where is the IR sensor located in this model?
I ripped the white paper just above the led is that fine? 🤦🏾♂️
If all LED strips were not working/flickering wouldnt that mean one of the boards has gone bad?
12;40 in video After replacement.
If it's the backlights would I still have a picture?
I literally just called a local tv and computer repair place and told the guy that my 47inch vizio's LED'S on the top and bottom were going out cause the picture was dim except the middle and he told me i would have to buy a whole new screen and pannel or what ever other than just replacing the LEDs.Was he trying to screw me over? -____-
yes.....yes he was
where is everyone getting the LED replacements from? Do you order them online or go into a store to get them?
shopjimmy.com
That's not worth a new 60 in. 4 k for 400 bucks ..year round...
oh man, I'm so nervous. Wish me luck.
Did you do it? How'd it go? I received my LED Strips last night and am going to do it this weekend. I'd like some encouragement, haha.
Jason Koutsunis actually not bad at all, it all came apart pretty easily for me and the video is easy to follow. But I'll be honest, I bought the strips for the 42 inch and I have the 47 inch. Lol so now I'm waiting for them to get restocked on shopjimmy.
Jason Koutsunis did you fix yours?
Why not touch the back side of the screen?
Mmmm...I just buy a new one and dump the old one at the curb with a sign "need new light behind panel".
how can you tell the led is going bad? my tv is flashing dark in the middle of the screen.
real rich that means it's time to replace them
Yeah noah's right.That was happening to mine just a few days ago on the top and bottom of the screen and now its dim on both except the middle.
Thanks for the video guide!!! I just installed new backlights in my 47" Vizio and I got my lights working, but I created a new problem. I now have a vertical gray band on the right side of my screen and some small horizontal bands across the bottom of the screen. I uploaded some pictures at: goo.gl/1EY6CB. Does any reading this know how to fix my new problem? Thank you!!!
Thank you!! I ended up getting me a 48" Samsung.
I can see me fuckin this up ,better off giving it to honest Abdul up the road and paying him a tenner
Blue screen
