| ![]() Update from Flipkart. No mention of 10% instant discount for HDFC and the so called installation free is only on the table top and Rs.399 for wall mount. As usual, limited stocks. https://www.flipkart.com/mi-led-smar...anner_widget_0 |

The TV technician who came to my house opened the back panel, plugged in the power supply to see if there was an issue (wasn’t), took out the multimeter and checked a couple of the circuit boards, and declared that the panel was bad. Maybe this is the SOP and he knew what the issue was, but he didn’t enlighten me beyond saying the panel had gone bad. The service center has quoted 57K for the panel. ![]() I am trying to get info about repair centres in BLR but except for one place that I found online, no leads. Thanks for helping out. | |

PM me the TV model number and are you using it with a step down transformer or does it support global voltage? I wasnt able to PM you, maybe you have to enable it. I will whatsapp these symptoms with model number to the technician I know once I have your model information. |

| ![]() Dear fellow members We recently purchased Samsung 55inch full HD smart TV. Excellent product except that backlight bleeding on the left side of the screen. Had Samsung technicians checked the unit and they termed it as normal! Pushing them resulted in panel change under warranty but the new panel has exactly same bleeding on the left side of the tv which means its just not our tv but the model itself has the issue (like with most of so called modern days' advanced LED TVs) ![]() Honestly, we were aware about the screen bleeding issue on these super slim tvs beforehand but never realised it would bother us this much. Under normal lighting conditions, it can't be detected but in dark environment, it is very much there. Question - is there any way to reduce/eliminate it? We have tried all sorts of settings to minimise it (reducing backlight level etc.) but nothing worked. Any new idea would be highly appreciated.

| ![]() Give this a shot. You SHOULD get favorable results. Rub/tap the affected area in one direction. Make sure the screen is showing black and you are off angle. The pressure required is negligible and you should see a difference. And dont worry, LED screens are fragile but not to a point that they will get damaged if you apply some pressure on them. |

I faced a similar issue with one Samsung 49M5100, turned out that the set top box was placed too near the to the TV. Setting it up at a distance solved the bleeding issue. I never thought a set top box can possibly cause such a thing. Last edited by wrongturn : 24th February 2018 at 11:43. |

Yes, searched online quite a bit and all available information points to a hardware issue, just not sure whether it requires a panel replacement as recommended by Sony’s local service center. Finding an honest technician is where I am struggling. Posted in a couple of forums, but no leads yet. Are you in Bangalore? Where did you get it repaired? No, they didn’t offer any buy back. | |

![]() I am not in bangalore. Why I asked about the buyback was because that was what the LG mech tried to pull with me. He told me the fault was going to cost a lot, and that he could buy the unit from me for 4-5k and salvage it for parts, and that I would not get more than 2k for the tv outside. However, a local guy fixed the tv for 400 bucks. Just some dirt on a connector. Imagine. | |

Tried it just now. No positive result though. How far did you keep the set up box from the tv? Did it solve the issue immediately or took some time? Thanks! | |

It's setup below TV now at a distance of 20 inches approximately. Yes, it did resolve the issue immediately. You might want to unplug everything around your TV and then turn it on, if there is still visibly significant bleeding get it replaced. |
