55" Samsung LED TV (UN55D6300SF) cracking open: Back

Can you get the large silver "substrate" off next?

I stopped where I did to avoid damaging the LCD display assembly.

As others have pointed out below, "LED" TVs, like the UN55D6300SF, use LCD displays and LED light sources. In edge-lit models the LEDs are mounted along the edges behind the display but inside the assembly. Removing the metal backing from the LCD/LED display assembly involves a high probability of damaging the unit.

My goal is always to disassembled these devices in a manner that allows them to be reassembled in working order.

However, there seems to be an interest in seeing the LED light sources on and LCD/LED TV.

What would you say if I purchased a slightly cheaper LED television and dissembled the display assembly on that one?

for the pics and info. I treated myself to a 46" 8000 for christmas and the picture quality is stunning. The 3d effects are also stunning, particularly yhr film of Cologne Cathedarl from above - the spires come out of the screen and you feel you can touch them. The Samsung really is a fantastic TV.

I am just curious what you do with everything you tear down? Are they used in the office or returned, etc? I also would like to see more of this TV torn down, but am thankful to see it go this far. It's an excellent peice of entertainment.

why is the power supply board so big, what was the ratings on that board? does it do 120-240V 50\60hz? any idea on the part name for the board? iam looking at replacing the power supply n my samsung un46d8000 which has 120V 60hz into 240v 50hz compatible version.
