Replaced my board and LED strips but still no back light.
I have an Element ELEFW504 television that was given to me because “I’m handy”. The symptoms upon receiving it was if you were trying to turn it on, it had to be unplugged and plugged in, pressing the power button numerous times to where it’ll finally come to life and from there have no problem. I replaced the board thinking that would be the fix but no. Upon talking to a tv repair person, they advised replacing the LED strips because the symptoms I had explained proved to be a short in one of the strips. So I replaced the strips and installed the replacement board and yet there is still no backlight. If I do the flashlight test I can see the menu when prompted and all other features but not even a flicker of a light from the backlight. What did I do wrong or what did I not do? Please help.

Replaced my PSU and LED strips and 8 months later same issue.
This Element E4SW7019RKU TV had a backlight issue in March of 2022. When replacing the backlights notice three or four LEDs had burn marks around them making black marks on the back whitepaper. After replacing the backlights & testing them, there was a clicking sound from the PSU and an over voltage reading to the backlights, and the new backlights did not function. I decided to replace the PSU. Installed the new PSU and TV works.
Fast forward to December of the same year. TV started exhibiting the same symptoms as before. No backlights, there are the appropriate images on the screen when a flashlight is used, the PSU is again producing overvoltage to the backlights. When both backlights and mainboard is plugged in voltages are 413 volts 362 volts from left and right output sockets on PSU. Compared to 275V & 82 respectively when both mainboard and backlights are unplugged from the PSU. Is it possible that the MOBO is at fault here?
