In this video we will show how to replace the Samsung LED strips for the following TV
models that we have listed on the screen.
There may also be other Samsung TV models that use these strips as well.
Be sure when purchasing replacement LED strips to check the listing on our product page for
those LED strips, to be sure you have matched the correct information to be sure you are
purchasing the correct replacements.
When replacing LED strips, you will have to remove the panel.
Removing the panel can be very difficult.
If your TV panel is damaged during the replacement process, you will have to get a replacement
TV.
Start by removing the screws and back cover off the TV.
We are using a tester TV for this video.
This TV has been used for testing boards and other TV parts, so our TV may look a little
bit different or we might not have as many screws in certain areas.
Flip up the tabs and carefully disconnect the ribbon cables from the buffer boards.
Using tape, secure the speakers to the chassis to help hold them in place.
Next, remove the bezel.
Use a puddy knife or five in one tool and slide it along the bezel to detach it from
the chassis.
After detaching the bezel, lift it and remove it from the TV.
Flip up the buffer boards and using blue painter's tape, attach them to the TV panel.
We are using suction cups in this video, which are highly recommended for removing the panel,
but you could also use a few sheets of plastic or something similar underneath the panel
to lift it away.
Be sure you do not allow the panel to bend or flex.
If the panel cracks or breaks, you will need to replace your TV.
Remove the screen holding frame, also known as
the frame.
After removing the frame, take the layers of diffusion and tape them together in the
corners.
This will help to keep them together and in order before removing them.
It will also help when you are re-assembling the TV.
Lift and remove the layers of diffusion.
This TV has 6 clips that hold the reflector to the chassis.
You will need to release these clips from the board side of the TV, by pinching in the
white tabs with a pliers.
Gently remove the reflector sheet.
These LED strips are held in place by a couple pieces of tape and some small white clips.
Remove the tape and clips and then disconnect the strips from the wire and remove
the strips.
We are using the white clips and some double sided tape to secure the strips to the chassis.
Although you may only need to use the white clips that are on the original strips.
Reinstall the reflector.
Insert the clips to secure the reflector to the chassis.
Align and install the layers of diffusion and remove the tape in the corners.
Reinstall
the frame.
Align the panel.
Be sure to check the corners to be sure they are properly aligned so they don't get pinched
or cracked.
Damaging the panel will result in the need to purchase a new TV.
Remove the tape and release the buffer boards.
Lock the buffer boards back into the tabs to keep them secure.
Carefully reconnect the ribbon cables to the buffer boards.
Reinstall the bezel.
Reinstall
the speakers.
Reinstall the back cover and turn the TV on to be sure the TV is working correctly.
