    TCL 50UP120 backlight short

    Backlight flashes briefly when turned on. PSU squeals briefly. Flash light test shows TV is running and with sound.

    Found a short on + on 1 of the 2 LED strings at the PCU connector. Traced it down to where the wire enters the panel under the plastic blocks that mounts the leges. Wires routing was incorrect and got got smashed by the plastic block.

    Attached a pic of it moved to the proper valley to avoid getting smashed. Close up will show the wires got smashed when it was up on the plateau where the blocks mounts flush. Had to separate the + - wire with a tweezer as it was smashed up pretty good. Will splice in new wire for future safety.
