How to Fix Common Issues
No picture
If you hear sound but see nothing, shine a flashlight at the screen. A faint image means backlight failure. Replace the LED strips or backlight assembly.
Backlight failure
QLED backlights use LED strips. Test each strip or replace the entire assembly. The diffuser layers must be handled carefully.
HDMI port
HDMI ports are on the main board. One bad port - use another. Replacement requires soldering skill.
Power board
Test for 12V and 24V outputs. Bulging capacitors indicate failure. Replace the power board if outputs are missing.

Repair Steps
Unplug and Discharge
Unplug the TV and wait 24 hours for capacitors to discharge. TVs hold high voltage - never open while plugged in.
Remove Back Panel
Lay the TV face-down on a soft surface. Remove the screws around the back panel. Lift the panel to access the internals.
Backlight Diagnosis
If there is sound but no picture, shine a flashlight at the screen. If you see a faint image, the backlight has failed. QLED TVs use LED strips. Test each strip or replace the entire backlight assembly.

HDMI Port Replacement
HDMI ports are on the main board. Desoldering requires skill. If one port is bad, use another. For replacement, use hot air and lead-free solder.
Reassemble
Replace the back panel. Ensure all cables are connected. Stand the TV upright carefully.
Test
Plug in and power on. Verify picture, sound, and all inputs.
