1: The likelyhood of the belt delivered by the smoothing caps in one of these being fatal. is at best slim. as yet there have been NO recorded occurences. if its th USA model, that slim chance is even slimmer, as the USA uses a girly 120vac as oppose to our manly 240vac in the UK. The belt itself, is a discharge... i.e it exists transiently until the caps discharge.... about half a seond. once they are discharged, they are safe. What does it feel like? I can only speak for the 240vac version, and have this to say about it... IT HURTS LIKE A B!TCH!! Anyone with heart problems may want to re-evaluate thier decision to work on an undischarged unit.. DISCHARGING: to make-safe the unit it can be actively be discharged by the deft employment of the end of a sizable flat blade screwdriver, and shorting out the 2 terminals on each of the capcitors.

This, is the answer you seek: RGB components dont apply to LCD tv, so you can ignore that (liquid crytal is clear, not coloured) The Blue LED phenomenon exists in LED backlights that are manyfactured by a company called Vestel. Notorious in the TV trade for building sub-standard TVs, and, supplying parts to other manufacturers. Once the Vestel LEDS begin to age, they turn blue, then blow. (its unlikely youl see them blow, as you’ll be so sick of watching a blue tv, youd have done something about it before they had the chance) The solution is to replace the backlight LED array in its entirity, and not with a Vestel built kit, but any other 3rd party array. HOWEVER…. Consumer rights act 2015 may provide you wih an alternative way out. The TV must be fit for purpose for 6 years after the date of purchase, otherwise the company you bought it from are liable. Net result = 1 free telly.
