I successfully swapped out the backlight LEDs today and fortunately didn't make too many mistakes.
The most annoying step was removing the final white sheet that was adhered to the back of the TV with double sided black tape. I suggest peeling the black tape from the back of the TV and leaving it on the white sheet. I had to go really slow. Be extra careful along the edges that are glued.
Luckily the suction cups did their job and I was able to pick up the screen without damaging it.
Thanks for the guide and the tips. For anyone attempting this repair, take your time and set aside an afternoon.
Awesome news! Glad it worked out for you!!
