subject: Lcd Tvs - Replacing The Backlight [print this page] Though LCD televisions are one of the most popular type of television currently, because of the great picture that they show and the quality of them, like all forms of technology, they have the potential to need service or repair during their lifetime. Something that you might have to face if you own an LCD TV is the backlight going out and you will know that your LCD TVs backlight has gone out if you turn your television on and suddenly the pictures disappears or if the screen is completely dark but you are still able to hear the sound of the programme through your speakers.
When this happens it does not mean that your LCD television is broken, it is just that the back light needs replacement and this is much like a light bulb going out on your front porch or in your kitchen; you just replace it when it goes out. When it comes time to replacing the LCD TV back light you can either do it yourself or you can contact a professional to help you if youre not too sure how. Of course youll be paying out by getting help, but it might be worth it depending on how much your LCD television is worth. Its better to seek professional help rather than risking breaking something on your televisions if you dont know what youre doing.
To be honest it really should not cost very much at all for you to get a professional to help you out with replacing the backlight on your LCD television and the replacement bulb usually takes no longer than around thirty minutes to replace the light. Another good reason that a professional should be highly considered to get the job done is because most of them will take extra measures to make sure that the back light is working properly and once they have replaced the light they will test your television thoroughly with the new light to make sure that the light is coming on, working properly and will last.
One way to reduce the risk of your backlight going out is to invest in a good quality LCD TV in the first place and you can research and compare the latest models easily and quickly online. By making sure you buy a Panasonic LCD TV, a Samsung LCD TV or one from any other leading brand, you are giving yourself the best chance of owning a great quality product which will last for years and probably come with an extended warranty.
