Guys, I was stupid enough to do this (without any experience and multi-meter). I disassembled the TV and found out there are two broken LEDs in one strap of the backlight. I de-attached the strap and searched for the new straps and finally (after a long time of searching) found a pair. This video really helped me, hope it helps you guys too (and don’t buy a Samsung TV again).

Watched this video and realized there was an easier fix. 1. Place Tv at foot level. 2. Bring appropriate foot back three feet. 3. Plunge said foot into screen while cursing Samsung. 4. Take same feet and walk through Walmart LG TV section. Wala, problem has been corrected.

I just replaced a less than 2 year old samsung 75" with this problem. My best opportunity is that this TV will be the last Samsung TV or any Samsung electronic product I will ever invest in.

This is not an easy fix, unless you really know what you are doing i would NOT suggest to try it. Additionally, there are various reasons why a half black screen might appears and this solution only fixes 1 of them (which might not be the problem you have). Also, many retailers will refuse to apply the warranty if you have tried to fix it yourself (unscrewed the TV). So call your retailer first.

Thanks so much! This helped me fix my issue. I had one single LED that was affecting the entire strip on one half and with some pressure from a flathead I was able to bypass the current to give the rest of the LED full power. One LED out doesn’t really make a difference on quality it looks like. Thanks again!

Didn't know some TVs now use LEDs like that, cool. Thanks for the easy to follow disassembly guide.

hehe for most people this isnt an easy fix, I remember a few years back I got a free 55" LCD no picture so I pulled it apart replaced on of the Strips tested it all worked went to put it back together and well I tore one of the min plastic strips well now TV totaled had to throw it out so is anyone is going to be pulling apart a TV be extremely carefull those strips can tear easily in my case lesson learned

Im gonna try mine in couple days. Just waiting on backlight. Never done anything like this, just built a couple of pc's 10yrs ago. But ill try, seems super simple.

Found a free tv and this fix worked for me in 20 minutes ✅🔥‼️

Interesting thanks. I have the same tv but black shading is in the middle of one side (so maybe 1 or 2 LEDs?). I think replacing the whole strip on that side is the answer. Do you agree? I dont have an LED tester so dont know whether it will be the top or the bottom strip. Any advice? Thanks again.

I had this problem and I had a real easy I bought a new TV

Thanks! I fixed my very similar 65" Samsung following your steps.

“Easy fix” yeah if you know what you’re doing lmao, not for the average Joe

I have a Hisense 75 inch.. half the sreen is dark. Is it possible that half the LEDS went bad, is there a power sourse for each side of the tv? there are 7 left and 7 right. OR would it mean all the LEDs would need to be replaced? or just half if not a power source for the 7 left?

[grilledchickenwrap]

try... turning up the brightness and see if that triggers the led to go bad again ?

[Darth_RevRen]

What voltage are you testing the led light at?

[SidOHagan]

Go to system then shop mode then go back to home mode this worked for me.

I was trying to do this but it is not an easy fix, , , 😩

[IsaacOLEG]

great ! and a contact spray (better than isopropyl 99%) will help (contacts can be cleaned with a pencil eraser too, if you have a good magnifier or even binoculars you can have a better idea of corrosion level

Who the hell carries suction cups like that in their average toolbox?
