In this video we will show how to replace the Samsung LED strips that we have listed
on the screen.
Be sure to match the important information on our product page, when replacing LED strips
to be sure the replacement strips are compatible with the originals.
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.
We will start by removing both pieces of the back cover off the TV.
Remove the cover over the T-con board.
Use tape to hold the speakers in place.
Disconnect the key controller and secure it to the chassis with some tape.
Flip the TV over and using a five in one tool or a putty knife or something similar disconnect
the bezel from
the chassis.
Disconnect the buffer boards from the t-con.
Release the buffer boards from the tabs that secure it.
be very careful as this board is very fragile.
Using painters tape or something similar, tape the buffer board to the panel.
Removing the panel is very important.
But you must be sure the panel does not flex or bend.
If the panel cracks or breaks, you will need to replace your entire TV.
We recommend using a suction cup to lift and remove the panel, but you could also use some
thin sheets of plastic or something similar to lift it away.
Using a five in one tool, or putty knife or something similar, pry the panel frame from
the chassis.
Separate and lift away the layers of diffusion.
You can tape them in the corner to keep them together and in order.
There are some clips that hold the reflector sheet to the panel.
They can be released on the board side of the chassis and then pulled out from the panel
side.
Be sure to look underneath the boards if you cannot locate all of the clips.
Remove the reflector sheet from the chassis.
The reflector sheet may be sticky on the backside that is attached to the chassis.
Be very careful when removing the sheet, so you do not tear it.
There is a little bit of tape holding these original strips to the chassis.
Remove the strips of tape and disconnect the LED strips from the cable, before removing
them.

To help hold the replacement strips in place, we are using some double sided tape.
Align the strips into position and then connect them
to
the wire.

reflector sheet on the chassis and reinstall the clips.

the frame.
