No the parts were not ordered . We were waiting to dismantle the set and get the part number from the led strips inside . I don’t know why I’m so pissed maybe it’s the fact that it’s a stupid mistake and I’m usually very careful . The wife actually got scared from all the banging and cussing...

Hi again , I was diligently working on it , being patient and careful and taking my time . All was going well then this happens . I’m banging my head on the wall I’m so pissed . I guess it was due to happen for a first timer . Lesson definitely learned ...

Hi boss , I wish I fixed it . Sorry I was away from home so I couldn’t do much . I did however lookup some videos about replacing the led strips . It looks like I need to tear it down . It’s quite complicated but I guess no harm in trying it . Once I open the tv up I’ll get those part numbers...

I found this site but there’s 2 separate listings for the LED strips . Can you tell which one I need please ? https://www.shopjimmy.com/search.php?search_query=Xbr43x800e

I agree . I thought they were new . I’m going to look for brand new ones that don’t ship from China hopefully .

The TV price was 600$ brand new so it wasn’t that bad for a late model Sony set . I found this listing . Looks like it ships from the USA and the price is good . Anything else I should order ...

I tried the flashlight trick but I honestly couldn’t see anything . I checked the connector voltage again and it’s 30 Volts . While keeping the positive probe on the pin and my eye on the multimeter , I plugged in the backlight connector however the voltage didn’t fluctuate . It remained at 30...

Hi buddy , thank you so much for your patience and instructions . I’m learning a lot . I unplugged the grey and white cable that goes behind the chassis from the power supply board and I measured the voltages on all the pins very carefully . I only got readings on the far left two pins and the...

Yes one of the first steps I took was to change the power supply board . I continued probing around everywhere . The grey cable connecting the power board to the big central board has only 1 pin with 14 Volts . The much smaller cable going from the power board and disappearing behind the metal...

Hello again , Yes I use the metal VESA mounting points on the TV for the black lead on the multimeter . Here’s a link with some pics I took . The power supply board that is by itself in the pic is the original . I removed it and installed a replacement but sadly nothing changed ...

Thank you for the answer . I’m in the good’ole USA in the DC area , an American with half French and half Lebanese descent ( my Lebanese dad met my French mother when he used to work in Paris ) . I checked the 120 watt external power supply ( SONY ACDP-120E03 ) and it’s about 19.5 volts which...

Hello all , I’ve tried almost all the recommendations I found but no joy . I’m stumped . My XBR43X800e suddenly out of the blue wouldn’t turn on . It was working perfectly without a single issue ever since I bought it . I purchased it along with 2 other TVs at the same time and they’re working...
