Should I repair a free 4k Samsung?

I received a free Samsung un55js7000f but the lower quarter is dim. Led's are out. I'm on the fence about Replacing the led's. Their about $60 but the portion of the screen that works, doesn't seem to have a very sharp picture. It seems like a crappy TV, and not worth the hassle to repair. Any thoughts on this model?

Thanks

It is almost a nine year old TV. If you can easily repair it, and have a use for it, why not repair it? That sort of task is always a good learning experience. At the age of the TV the part you need might not be available.

That was a piece of junk brand new....junk received for free is still junk.

I'm going to open it up and see what's going on. Could be something silly like a disconnected something or another. I guess it was in a kids play room and took a few good hits over the years.

After taking the set apart the led strips just started working again. Probably a loose connection. Interesting observation, nearly all the diffusers on the right side of the set would come off with the slightest touch. I epoxied them all back on. picture isnt too bad after all.

Well done, on this one. I'm glad I encouraged you. Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.
