   I have seen a lot of those interconnects cause problems from flickering to no   
   function at all, but never on new strips.  I have a feeling you ended up with   
   pulls.  There should be zero resistance across the connectors.  After you fix   
   the bad one make    
   sure they ALL are zero ohms.  If any are a few tenths of an ohm or higher,   
   jump them all out with short insulated wires, otherwise you'll be back inside   
   at some point.  Even if they test good with an ohmmeter they may show some   
   voltage drop across them.     
   There of course should be 0.0V drop across the connectors.   
      
   If this TV has a back light adjustment in the customer menu, lower it to just   
   above half to preserve the LED array.  If it doesn't have an adjustable   
   setting in the menu, let me know and I'll show you what resistor to change to   
   lower the global current.
