Trying to fix the backlights on my LG TV,as you can see from the photo some of the strips don't work but individually all the SMD's work apart from 5.I've rigged up a variable 3v to 12v psu to try and power the strips (and SMD's individually),some of the strips work whilst others don't even light up even though they have worked as seen in the picture?
Would one dodgy SMD stop a whole strip/s from working or is there something in the strip that could be knackered?Tried doing a continuity test on the strips but it only goes to the 1st SMD and no further?
Electronics ain't my strong point but always willing to learn.
Got some new SMD's ordered from RS which should arrive tomorrow but don't want to waste my time if the strips are knackered.
