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

1

Unplug and Discharge

Unplug the TV and wait 24 hours for capacitors to discharge. TVs hold high voltage - never open while plugged in.

2

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.

3

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.
