Understanding TV Backlight Failure
Backlight failure is one of the most common issues in LED and LCD TVs, affecting brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, and TCL. The backlight system, typically composed of LED strips or bulbs, illuminates the screen to display images. Over time, these components can degrade, leading to problems such as:
- Dark or Black Screen: The TV powers on, but the screen remains dark or barely visible.
- Flickering or Dim Display: Uneven lighting or intermittent flickering across the screen.
- Spots or Shadows: Dark patches or bright spots indicating failed LED strips.
- Complete Backlight Failure: No illumination, rendering the screen unusable despite audio output.
Causes include prolonged use, power surges, overheating, or manufacturing defects. bestappliancerepairs.co.ke/ offers professional solutions to diagnose and fix these issues, ensuring your TV regains its visual clarity.
