I got a mint trash picked LG 55" LED LCD TV. It turned out to have two entire LED strips that were dead and quite a few more that were out. I ordered new strips off of ebay and installed them, and it is as good as new now.
Question.....the old LED strips were simply fiber circuit boards with LED;s bonded to them. I saw no way for the actual LED to dissipate heat, hence why they failed after 4 yrs. The new LED strips are solid aluminum with double sided tape, and the overall design looked identical, however my thought is the new aluminum backing may actually extend the life.
Does anyone know if the chinese knockoff LED strips actually last? For $39 + shipping either way im not going to complain, just curious.
