First, you want to make sure the laptop's internal/external display mode is set properly. On Acer netbooks, this is usually changed by holding the "Fn" key, and pressing "F5". Either the TV or the computer display should flicker when you do this. There are 3 modes:
1 Computer only
2 TV Only
3 Computer and TV
If changing between thos emodes doens't work, continue on.
I am going to assume you are running Windows XP. Please correct me if I am wrong.
To display your desktop on an external monitor, you'll need to change/check some settings. Your netbook is most likely attempting to set it's display settings automatically, but it is expecting a computer display, not a television, so the resolutions and refresh rates are conflicting. That's why it will only display on one and not the other. Before Windows loads, the netbook is using a very low resolution,so it displays on the TV. Once Windows loads, it switches to some non-standard resolution that your TV cannot display and defaults back to your netbook screen.
The solution is to find a resolution that your television will display:
1.Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.
2.In the DisplayProperties dialog box, click the Settings tab.
3.Click the Display list and select your external monitor (..the TV. It will most likely be display #2).
4.Select the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor option.
5.Select 640x480 in the "Screen Reolution" section for Display #2.
6.Click Apply or OK.
Note: If you see the background change on your television, mmove your mous there to make sure it's working. If it DOES work, go back to the "Screen resolution" section for Display #2 and find the highest resolution your television will display
Won't turn on. Westinghouse SK-32H540S 32 LCD
Try leaving the TV unplugged for 30 minutes so the TV can reset itself.
If that doesn't work, most likely the TV has a power supply related problem. Or, it maybe something simple like a blown fuse inside the TV.
But, I can't say it's 100% the problem because I can't actually look at the tv over the internet.
If the fuse doesn't fix it and If by chance the TV is still under warranty, go that route.
If not under warranty and If you have some electronic experience, you can purchase a Service Manual over the internet and diagnose the source of the problem with the power supply and fix it by soldering in the new part. The Service Manual will give you circuit diagrams, test points, and part# lists. Usually, cost under $20.
I hope I shed some light on the subject for you.

- Press the power button on your TV to turn it on.
- Using your TV remote, press the "Menu" button and navigate to the "Setup" or "Settings" menu.
- Look for the "Reset" option and select it.
- Enter the reset code for your TV when prompted. The reset code may be a sequence of numbers or a combination of buttons on the remote control.

Westinghouse WD55UW4620 no picture
Before you replace the power board, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue with your Westinghouse WD55UW4620 TV:
- Adjust the picture settings: It's possible that the picture settings on your TV have been accidentally adjusted, resulting in a dark picture. Try going into the TV's menu and adjusting the brightness, contrast, and other picture settings to see if that helps.
- Check the backlight: The backlight is responsible for illuminating the pixels on your TV screen, and if it's not working properly, it can result in a dark or dim picture. You can check the backlight by shining a flashlight on the screen and seeing if you can make out any images. If you can see images, then the backlight is likely the issue.
- Check the cables: Make sure that all the cables connecting your TV to external devices are securely plugged in and not damaged.
If none of these troubleshooting steps work, then it's possible that the power board is the issue. In that case, replacing the power board may fix the problem.
