   The HU series uses LED strips which plug into a single strip running at a   
   right angle to the rest at one side of the array.  Most back-lit TVs just use   
   a plug in wire connector for each strip, but Samsung did away with most wiring   
   on this model.   The    
   power supply board LED output connector plugs into chassis mounted connector   
   which is hard wired to the single mounting strip that the rest of the strips   
   connect to inside the display.  There is no wiring on this version except PC   
   wiring.  I've had both    
   bad LEDs and bad interconnects on the HU, which is why I recommend total   
   replacement of the strips inside the display.
