Westinghouse SK-32H540S 32 in. LCD TV - Page 10 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Your backlights have failed, taking it to a repair shop for service will run between 150 and 200 dollars, you can replace the LED strips yourself but its not an easy job if you haven't did it before, its very easy to damage the panel when taking it apart and putting it back together then the money spent on the strips is wasted and the TV will need to be recycled...Good luck!

Your backlights are out, is it a LED TV?

You have a dead short somewhere. if possible replace power cord on antenna. Check power cable insulation for wear.

unless it is built in you probably cannot ad Google aps. They are for Android OS only.

bad weather -network--connections --provider error --tv failing etc

* Check your warranty and call for service. There are no customer replacement parts in this type of "combo" unit. *** Following is for information only *** * DVD section is usually a "Snap-Assembly" system when built at the factory. Pulling and prying on this type of device will "Snap open" parts. Your best bet is to have the unit replaced. * Yes, it's possible to take the DVD apart and reconnect the disassembled part. But in addition to not knowing how it is originally assembled, there is a strong possibility that it won't go back in the correct way. * There is probable damage to the DVD "reader" and LED "LAZER" device that runs just above the DVD. With the DVD disk spinning at a high rate. It is probable the read head crashed into the disk(s) and caused damage to read head and DVD disk. * Final; If you can still use the TV portion. Check for alternate A/V input. (Yellow, Red, White, RCA jacks) or HDMI input. There are many "Stand alone" DVD players on the market. The last one I bought 10 years ago was $30 at WalMart. I'm sure they are even cheaper models now. You may also want to look into getting another TV set as most cable TV providers have switched to all Digital "High Def" input and don't support the "Channel 3" or Analog TV system. Aloha, ukeboy57 PS; If you do get a new DVD player. Be aware that the DVDs have been upgraded to "Blu-Ray" disks. Your old DVD player may not have been able to play these newer disks. I found the following players on line: https://www.walmart.com/ip/LG-DVD-Player-with-USB-Direct-Recording-DP132/33396346 https://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-Player-Upconvert-Digital-Display/dp/B01GO72M9O/ref=sr_1_7?s=tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1530209541&sr=1-7&keywords=dvd+player&dpID=310oLokaLNL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Try unplugging it...then plug back in.

You did not give a model number for this. But I will say this. I have three of these in my shop. There are no parts available for them....and they are not likely to be found. I bet your TV is right at 5 or 6 years. Thanks for asking, Matt of Martins TV Repair.

Could a button be stuck on the remote, maybe the Menu button?

Close to 300.00 if you can get someone to pay that. Getting parts and replacement needles for the record player will be difficult.

Have you run a channel scan?

Tom must think the only board that is in a TV is the power board...lol...what you have going on here is the signal is going from the main to the power board that is what turns the standby to blue, and turning it on, I have a feeling you have a bad LED lamp in the panel (on this model TV its a common failure and one bad one is all it takes) and its shutting down the power supply...don't order a board before testing the LEDs in the panel as the chances of this being a power board issue are very slim with the symptoms you have.

It will be very difficult to get at open electronic market. In most cases, the original spare parts for Westinghouse brand devices are rare. https://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ /

Another TV Funai POS from China made..chances are it has bad lamps in the panel as this has been a common failure of these sets and all it takes is one that is bad to shut down the power supply supplying voltage to the LEDs

What is the model?...is it LED or LCD?

picture tube or screen drivers (if flat screen westinghouse tv), has failed.

Test the various power supply voltages first if your able to be sure they're ok, if they are it could be the main or Tcon board that is bad
