Dealing with a dark or completely black screen on your Samsung UA40ES5500 or UA40ES5600R 40 inch LED TV? Before calling a service centre or buying a replacement panel, consider this — the problem is almost certainly a failed vertical LED backlight strip. The 56 LED Backlight Strip for Samsung 40 Inch TV UA40ES5500 UA40ES5600R (Vertical LED, 2 Strip Set) is a precision replacement part designed specifically for Samsung 40 inch LED TV models that use a vertical backlight strip layout — a less common but highly effective backlighting design used in select Samsung 40 inch TV panels.
Unlike conventional horizontal backlight strips that run across the bottom or top of the panel, these are vertical strips that run along the full height of the Samsung 40 inch panel from top to bottom. Each strip carries an impressive 56 SMD LEDs — one of the highest LED counts per strip in the Samsung 40 inch backlight range — delivering exceptional brightness uniformity and precise zone-by-zone light control across the entire display.
What Makes Vertical LED Backlight Strips Different?
The vertical LED backlight design used in Samsung UA40ES5500 and UA40ES5600R is a premium backlighting architecture that Samsung introduced in select models to achieve superior display uniformity. Instead of illuminating the panel from a single horizontal row, vertical strips light the panel column by column — eliminating the brightness gradient that can sometimes appear in horizontally lit panels.
This design means that when a vertical strip fails, you will typically see a vertical dark band running from top to bottom of your Samsung 40 inch screen — rather than a horizontal dark zone. Common failure symptoms for these vertical strips include:

⚠️ Critical Verification: Vertical backlight strips are physically very different from standard horizontal strips. Before ordering, open your Samsung 40 inch TV panel and confirm your existing strips run vertically (top to bottom) and carry 56 LEDs per strip. Do not order if your panel uses horizontal strips.

A standard backlight strip runs horizontally across the bottom or top of a TV panel — illuminating the screen from one edge. A vertical backlight strip runs from the top to the bottom of the panel, lighting the screen column by column. Samsung used this vertical design in select 40 inch models including the UA40ES5500 and UA40ES5600R to achieve superior brightness uniformity across the full display width.
Open the back panel of your Samsung UA40ES5500 or UA40ES5600R and carefully separate the display module. If the backlight strips inside run from top to bottom rather than across the width of the panel, your TV uses vertical strips. Also confirm each strip carries 56 LEDs before placing your order.
Yes — a vertical dark band running from top to bottom of your Samsung 40 inch screen is the signature failure symptom of a vertical backlight strip. Unlike horizontal strip failures that create dark horizontal zones, vertical strip failures create vertical dark columns — one per failed strip. Replacing the complete 2 strip set will eliminate all vertical banding permanently.
The vertical strip design requires significantly more LEDs than a horizontal strip because each vertical strip must cover the full height of the 40 inch panel rather than just the width of one horizontal zone. The 56 LED count ensures sufficient light coverage from the very top to the very bottom of the panel without any brightness drop-off in the middle sections.
While replacing a single strip will eliminate the specific dark band caused by that strip, we strongly recommend replacing both vertical strips simultaneously. The remaining older strip will have degraded brightness compared to a new strip — creating a visible brightness difference between the left and right halves of your Samsung 40 inch display.
Vertical backlight strips were used by Samsung in a limited number of specific TV models during a particular production period. They are not as widely available as standard horizontal strips. The UA40ES5500 and UA40ES5600R are among the most common Samsung 40 inch models using this vertical design — and we specifically stock this variant for these two models.
The replacement process is similar in terms of steps — open back panel, separate display module, remove old strips, fit new ones. However vertical strips are longer than standard horizontal strips and require extra care during handling to avoid bending. Work on a flat, padded surface and handle each 56 LED strip from both ends simultaneously to prevent damage during installation.
Absolutely — the UA40ES5600R is a well-built Samsung 40 inch TV with a quality panel that can deliver many more years of use after a backlight replacement. The cost of replacing both vertical strips is a small fraction of what a new 40 inch TV costs today. If your panel is undamaged and all other TV functions work correctly, this repair is always the smarter financial decision.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver to remove the back panel screws, a plastic pry tool to carefully separate the bezel without scratching the frame, and clean cotton gloves to handle the panel without leaving fingerprints on the display surface. No soldering equipment, no special electronics tools — just basic household tools and careful hands.
