usually cheaper to replace it as likely it is bad optical unit in DVD player.

this is down to the inverter back light driver shutting down due to a fault on the inverter board. Common faults on lcd monitors / tvs where the capacitors dry up causing voltage abnormalities .

HelloAfter switch ON the TV, and after picture has displayed on the screen with 'closed Caption" window, just press button "CC" on your remote control. For each press, the close caption window will vanish and disappear. OK.

First diconect the wee consoule. Doubel check all your conections to the tv. Make sure everything is hooked up were it should be. When you are sure everyhing is were it should be turn the tv on. if no tv press the source/input button on tv or remote. If there is nothing seriously wrong you should get you tv back. Sorry this was the best i could come up with

There are many better and cheaper stands that can make it a self mounted tv.

that is amazing!

First try a new power cord for the TV. If that doesn't solve the problem, the power supply has failed. (Possibly one or more capacitors on the power supply board have failed. Alternatively, a fuse, zener diode or resistor that works as a fuse has failed) You will need to open the tv and inspect the power supply. Westinghouse TVs use a number of different boards. If you want to replace the entire power supply, you will need to note that exact part number on the label. ShopJimmy has refurbished and used power supplies for this model: http://www.shopjimmy.com/westinghouse-sk-32h240s . The used ones are from TVs that were damaged in shipping and thus have minimal use. http://www.partstore.com/Model/Westinghouse+Digital+Electroni/Westinghouse+Digital/SK32H240S/Other+Remotes.aspx also has replacement parts.

I hope this helps.

I would start with your power supply. If you took a surge it is possible that you only blew a fuse. If it is a blown fuse, make sure you only use the same type fuse.

Do you still get audio? I need a few more details to better assist you. Can you please send me a quick email to [email protected] so I can better assist you. Please include the model#, serial#, and TW#, all located on the back of the TV.

What is your name

This about a different issue, but has good pics. See my posts at the end. The LVDS ribbon cable is even easier to get to then the LCD controller ribbons. Take off the stand, and back cover. Take off metal 'cage' on back, the ribbon underneath can become dirty or loose. Untape the cable, unclip and remove it. Rub it clean with an eraser. Replace and re-affix with some metal foil tape or other heat resistant tape from the hardware store.

Drop me a line if ya want.

What ever you have hooked to it may have a ground fault. I would replace the cables Iam using first or try a device that you know works good somewhere else and if it does the same thing it is the tv or the cables

The SK-32H240S has two sets of mounting holes 75mm x 75mm VESA or 100mm x 100mm VESA mounts.

I hope this helps. The manual is available here: http://www.retrevo.com/support/Westinghouse-SK-32H240S-TVs-manual/id/2727ag925/t/2/ . You will need to enter a code to download the pdf.

Hi boyd383,
If you've confirmed that the signal reception is not the problem, this symptoms indicated that the tuner of the tv is already faulty. It has a low/high/ultra high frequency that generate and process the signal received from the source to view the channel. One or two of the frequencies is/are already not functioning that's why the unit didn't get all of the channels...
Tuner is in the mainboard of your unit where the cable/antenna wire is hooked up. You may take it apart and disolder the tuner. Replace it with new one and your unit will back to normal again.
If you don't have necessary tools and test instruments and can't troubleshoot the unit yourself, I would advice you to look for an experienced tv technician to isolate the problem.
Also, check if your unit is under extended warranty period, avail it because the manufacturer will fix it for free, don't attempt to open the back cover it will void the warranty.
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.

Hello Olga, this problem is normally caused by something on the power/inverter board (normally a transformer or a capacitor). If you are technical you can open up the TV and see what component is bad, you can normally tell because the component will leak or in the capacitors case be puffy. If you are not that technical you can also open the unit and simply pull all the plugs from the power/inverter board (big brown board on the left hand side when TV is facing down), take off all the screws, and replace the whole board. I can assist you with obtaining part #'s for this board if you would like just simply send me an email with the model #, serial # and TW # all located on the back of the TV as well as a brief explanation of what the TV is doing to [email protected]. Please rate my answer if it was helpful, have a great one.

Hi, and no there is no recourse for us consumers really-i actually have an issue with a television that was new christmas of ' 09-already the company once located in california appears to be out of business. So many sets are " out sourced " from somewhere in asia and made by the millions-quality is apparently of little concern-you can try e-mailing whatever westinghouse contacts you have or phoning-my guess is not to optimistic. sorry i couldn't be of more help and good luck, Prodzilla.
