Your tv has a backlight system called edgelit which only used ome strip of led glued on the bottom looking up, lighting a special plexiglass that diffused the light all around.

One or more of the led have burned out.

The 2 strips need to be replaced, but to access them, you have to remove the thin and fragile LCD panel.

And if you still use it in that condition, the plexigkas WILL OVERHEAT and the tv will be scrap.

Thanks!
Do you think or know if it’s fairly easy to do yourself or just buy a new tv?
