    sony KDL 40HX803 no backlight 4 blinks

    good morning, Sony dont like to make life easy,why feed backlights via 2 or 4 wires when you can use 60!
    yes there are 4 foils feeding 4 separate b/l edge strips via lcd drive board (the blue one in corner)
    first ,after usual checks ,i unplugged cn02 at top of t con board
    to stop the 4 blinks ,this allows main board to start and led remains green and sound comes up ,
    next i fitted link to led-on from 3.3v sby ,removed lead from plug from main board just in case and tried again ,still no b/l .
    while tv is still on i replugged cn02 and pic info is visible with test lamp ,

    ie still no b/l but pic and sound info good .
    so i think the tcon can be ruled out ?
    the psu with the forced led on link produces 24v for b/l and all other supplies good .

    now over to led drive board
    there are 4 fuses all good
    all diodes and fets test good
    all caps good esr
    theres a 3.3v supply and a 9v supply both good .
    next i opened up and checked all 4 led strips both with led tester and with d/m od diode test mode both directions to check reverse zener
    all tested good .
    ive read a couple of posts on here with similar models,but not quite same volts from psu
    i think my psu is good as it produces all correct volts when forced on with 3.3v
    ive now reached the head scratching stage ,any ideas please

    i forgot to mention ,on the reverse side of led drive board theres 4 minature 6 leg diodes marked EH4
    one measures low ohms between 2 pins compared to the others
    but cant find any info on them .
    i removed and tested it but the low resistance is on the board
    i will use a better camera to try to get a clearer picture of these
    but it may just be a red herring?

      "2510" for week 25 of 2010? Did someone at Sony think they're an American company? LMFAO!

        there are a number of testpoints on the reverse side of the led driver board ,
        the BL-LESS MODE is showing s/c to deck ,
        without a cct its difficult to follow print
        but there is a chip CXA 3802R ,
        data on this ic would help but cant find any data for this ic
        the board is made by samsung part number:SSL400EL-S01REV 2.0
        here are some better pics of the board

          The solder joints of DA1003 & DA1004 do not look good.

            I know they are extremely small
            i removed two with my solder station to check them out of cct
            and the s/c was still on the panel
            i have a very small tip on my iron, but ive ordered some that are even smaller,so i can tidy up the soldering.
            what you cant see is there is an earth connection under these ics so i had to remove to confirm it may look poor but theres no pins shorted from my soldering
            thanks for taking a look at my post

                EH4 look as though they are available from Digikey
                https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32768238252.html gives the number SP3002-04HTG
                and
                https://www.digikey.co.uk/product-de...DKR-ND/2297270
                give the pinout

                  MANY THANKS
                  looks like pin 1 s/c to ground but as mentioned earlier ,when i removed ,it was not s/c but the connection on the board still shows s/c
                  the offending pin is marked BL-LESS MODE so im hoping i can find data on micro CXA3802R ic1103 hoping there will be a pin marked BL-LESS
                  i will order new EH4 diodes as they have been removed from board with sol,station .
                  i could order a board ,
                  but find it more fun to repair down to component level if possible
