Fixed a Samsung TV with a bad backlight and found something weird in the process
I had this 55 inch Samsung from 2019 on my bench Tuesday with no picture but sound. Pulled the panel off and found 3 blown LED strips but also a tiny piece of a screwdriver blade stuck between the driver board and the frame. Someone else tried fixing it before me and snapped a tool inside. I swapped the strips and cleaned out the metal piece and it fired right up. Has anyone else found random junk inside TVs from previous repair attempts?

2019 Samsung is actually the year they switched LED strip designs.

Used to dismiss tool bits in electronics but this one definitely changed my perspective.
