Problem TV display

[Kenny202]

Has anyone seen this before? Samsung LED TV about 5 years old. Noticed a few bright dots on the screen about a year ago. About an inch round. SI thought at first kids must have hit screen or something but dots are aligned so obviously technical issue. Has been gradually getting worse over the last year, more dots. It doesn't effect the picture that badly, notice it more on a blank screen. Is it something I can adjust or a sign the screen is on the way out?

Looks as though it could be led reflector caps have have fallen off.

 

To fix you will have to dismantle the back of the tv to access, retrieve them and glue/fix them back on.

 

Have a look on you tube if you want to try yourself or you could get amorn or local tv tech nearby to have a look at the repair.

Taking it apart is one thing getting it back back together again can be a major pain in the backside !!!

those little ribbon cables are extremely delicate and the latching / locking  clips  often not intuitive to open/close.
