Panasonic TX-39AS600B - Backlight issue.

[Turnip]

Hi folks,

Have one where the four backlight feeds show - 31.5/31.5/31.5/40.7 volts on the tester.

Bit odd, as suspect 40.7 dubious, but can't imagine what might cause it - Chris.

Hi Cat,

With an O/C strip my meter reads around 220v so 40.7v looks a bit odd - Gained 9.5v somewhere, guess take it apart and have a look. Would have done already but waiting for glue to set those big lenses on an LG so's I don't get 'bright patches'

Was a bit of an issue as the LG  Leds had the cathode pad bigger than the anode, and I only have 6v LGs' with big anodes, so had to scrape the track away a bit as otherwise they short out - Nothing on Ebay at the moment - Chris.

In the event the Pana had just one duff Led. Bit of a problem as they're 4mm x 2mm and the cathode has the larger pad.
Nothing on Ebay so used a standard square LG Led soldered in the other way around. Guess have to improvise.
