In this video we will show how to replace the LED strips in certain LG TVs.
This is a generic tutorial, and if your TV model is listed in the video description,
the general process shown in this video should apply to your TV, even if there are some small
differences.

Remove the screws on the metal covers that are over the scan drive boards.
Remove the screws for the TV bezel.
