I just finished up my install using your tutorial, and it worked like a charm, even for a novice tinkerer like me. Thank you very much! That said, I have a couple of observations pertaining to the LED-install portion for anyone attempting to do this: When removing the old strips, I noticed that they each had a pink rubber strip on the bottom, which I didn't hear you mention, and which was noticeably absent from the replacements that I had ordered. That said, I was able to remove them all with the smallest bit of force, and the adhesive remained sticky enough to reattach to my new strips. I'm not sure what purpose they serve, and lining them up can be a huge pain--especially when also trying to line up the strips--but I erred on the side of caution and reinstalled them anyway. Regarding the black foam that comes on the stock strips, I was able to remove them pretty easy. At first, I attempted to slide a thin razor blade under it, but after playing around with it, I found it much easier to just gently pull them off by hand--no tools needed. After that, it took some effort, but I was able to stick them to my new boards. There were a couple of spots that were no longer sticky, but it looks like it compresses against the screen anyway, so I just pressed them down the best that I could. The only problem area on the foam strip that I had was that about an inch of it on one end kept springing back up. So, I threw a very small strip of double sided tape under it and cut off the 2-3mm at the end that still wouldn't stay down. No light bleed on my end!

Took me about around 3 hrs rewinding your video, but I did it. Thank you very much for this video!

Of all the videos on you tube this is the best one! Most of the other ones there's too much detail, makes me feel like I'm in grammer school! Not good job Nick, the best job!

Great Job Nick, greatings from Ireland

Awesome skill and steady hands..

Really nice!!! There is a lot to do in this sony to install baclight!!! Nice work.☝👌☝

Superb work

I have an XBR 65X950G with 4 blinking red lights. Wish I had found your videos first as I tried the BL-ERR pin removal and ground (no joy), power board changeout (no joy) and some other things. Problem is not solved. Could not locate the repair manual. Was thinking now maybe T-CON board until I saw your videos. I do wish you had a video showing how to change the LED strips on this model. I know that others have asked about it as well. This is a fairly new model (2019 on board) and I think I bought it in 2020. I used to praise Sony products as I had older Sony TVs and other products that lasted forever. A little over 2 years on a high end TV IS NOT RIGHT! Please, make a video with an XBR 65X950G!

Great video! Ive just suscribed to your channel, one question, Is the light bleed on the edges normal? Isn’t a malfunctioning of the TV?

Hey Nick, question regarding this same TV. Btw I been watching your videos your the man beautiful way of explaining everything every time brotha. So same TV picture is clear and clean but I’m staring to see yellow bleeding through the bottom portion of my screen just like at the end of your video how you have led bleeding out but mine is yellowish bleeding what do you think that means? Is it maybe time to replace led strips ? btw have you found the black form strip yet ?

Thank you for the tutorial! I was able to replace the LED-Strips thanks to your Video🙌 One thing did not work perfectly however 😅 The backlight is much brighter at the buttom now than on the rest of the screen… The LED-Strips fit perfectly (at least it felt like they don’t move…) Did you have the same problem after some replacements?

Helpful video. Have a 75xbr750e. Led problem. Replaced them but having a problem putting the plastic trim back on . Don't remember if the screen is separated from the other panel by the plastic trim. Any help. Thanks.

What kind of tape do you rec to replace the stuff they use? This is the exact TV I'm working on, I need to fix it. It may have a bad panel.

Hey BTW what is that board right above the Tcon? Led driver? why does it have R G B dots on the three cables?

Hello, I have a Sony Bravia 65-FX9005 TV, on which I installed all the components from another TV identical to the broken screen, but it does not update or factory reset, instead the LEDs light up and there is a sound song in the background. I understood that, unfortunately, the motherboard must be resoftened for the new screen. What do you think?

I was doing a led light strip replacement and all went well thanks to your video, But I powered the Tv on without having the top left white plug with gray wires on main board pluged in. So i pluged it in with TV on and now i only get soft music and green and amber led blinking at bottom of set. I tried unpluging tv and on again but wont boot up only music. any ideas would be helpful. thanks ed

I’m looking for some good backlights for this as I’ve tried some and they used the wrong leds which was at the wrong height, I see you sell them but are the leds that are not same as original and are Samsung leds ? My opinion is the leds are the wrong height and too close to each other as well

Hi - just saw this. I have a xbr65x930d with a vertical lines on screen issue since late last year. The vertical lines are the only video that appears on the screen (no picture other than the lines). I just ran across your channel on the light repair. Your videos seem to be some of the best around for this tv. Is there a way to upload a picture of the screen so that you might better understand the problem with my tv? My user picture shows the issue (but I realize it's probably really too small to see correctly).

HI NICK. I HAVE A SONY XBR-55X900C. I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE LEDS, BUT I HAVE SMALL VERTICLE RED LINE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN. MY QUESTION IS THAT A PROBLEM WITH THE SCREEN OR COULD IT BE WITH THE CABLES GOING TO THE SCREEN . JUST THOUGHT YOU MAY HAVE COME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM AND YOU MIGHT HAVE THE ANSWER. THANKS SO MUCH. KEEP UP THE GRATE WORK .EXCELLENT VIDEO. VICTOR

Would this be similar to xbr-75x950h? I’m getting 4 blinking red lights

Hi Nick! I changed the LED strips on my XBR65900C but it's still somewhat dim. Took it apart a second time to make sure the LEDs were lined up correctly it I believe they are. Have you run into any other issues that would keep it dimmer?

Hi Nick. I have an XR-55A80J OLED with a vertical white line on the screen since one month ago, despite this, there were no problems with the TV image. A week ago the TV stopped working and 4 red blinks appeared. Do you know how I could fix this? Is there something that needs to be replaced?

Hey I have a XBR-65X900C it was working just fine the other day, but now whenever I turn it on the screen turns on and off over and over . Any idea on what may be wrong with it?

Good afternoon, could you help me? I have this TV, but I've never been able to enable the Sony logo to appear as soon as I turn it on. Could you tell me how I can do it? You seem to me to have a good understanding of these TVs. Thanks.

I saw a similar video to change the leds but now when turning on it starts flashing green - orange and after a while it sends audio but the leds never turn on

Would like to order the led lights. No description in your video

Has anyone been able to fix the light bleed at the bottom of the screen???? I put on the black strip of foam that originally was on the original LEDs - but I still get light bleed, any suggestions?

Hello can you give me a hand? I have a Sony kd-65x9005c which had a 4 blink error. I ordered the LEDs which I replaced but unfortunately after reassembling the whole TV I only have sound and no backlight or video. I tried reinstalling a new firmware but still nothing.

Could you use led tape to reattach the foam strips.

Please let me know where I can buy the original strips. Ali baba and ebay have them but which is more reliable. Any other place to buy, I am in Pakistan such items not available here.

I have 4 red blinking lights on my LED Sony 65 X900E Would the fixing would be same as this?

hi Nick,I have sony xbr-55x900C on startup android logo comes on and TV shuts and the red blinks 4 times. So it that a mother board problem as mentioned in of your videos or is it LED Strips which need to be replaced. Any help will appreciated.Thanks

Hey Nick! I have a 65x90k with 4 blinks. It'll come on and dispkay the sony logo then the google logo but then shuts off and blinks 4 times. Ive tried grounding the BL_err pin but nothing changed. If I unhook both lvds cables then itll go into the color cycle screens and not turn off. If I leave the top lvds cable connected, itll do the color cycle again, but if i connect the lower and disconnect the upper lvds cable then it goes back to the 4 blinks. Any guesses as to the cause?

Hello bro I have the same problem like this on my Sony KD65XE9005. Is this method compatible with my model or what should I do? It’s exactly the same problem. Thanks

I'll need to get the part "if"... Would you say that XBR-65X850D and the 900C are similar? Great Video by the way, lot of work. I appreciate you in advance.

Will this repair also work for the 55X900C?

Hi Nick, my problem on my tv when I turn it on the screen goes like android is rebooting or updating just like in your video but the led lights don't blink, just it turn the tv off and the led on the bottom of the tv blink in red clor 4 times, I would appreciate if you tell me the possible problem by your experience please. Thank you very much, your videos are very, very helpful. Jorge

I noticed that the original LED strips were 88 LED strips, whereas the new ones seem to be 64 LED strips. Is that the case? I am planning to replace my strips but my TV has 88 LED strips and I cannot find those.

The most fragile part of the TV, the COFs (chip on film), the ones from the display to the timing/scallar/driver board on each side(this size 2 of them). These COFs are really fragile, please use some BBQ sticks or some other stuff with a masking tape, or a capton tape from the other side. You'll make it flat and won't allow for them to bent down as shown at 6-7 minute in the video. That will make it safer. Thank me later.

New camera?

Hi sir I am from India I want this backlight for 65x9000c

Cut this adhesive thingy off this old one and use double sided tape or something else on the new one. I bought a high temp double sided tape for many things in the TVs where it's too hot and works fine.

Hi nick have Sony 55w905a like 8 years now whene open power on see channel and sound play can go and menu and after 30 sec close and blink 4 red what problem think have?

XBR65-800G - 6 blinking red lights after only 3 years. What a joke. Never buying another (ph)ony product again!

China Backlight ist shit for Sony Ni trilinos

Use black tape. That will stop the bright light at the bottom of the screen
