I am having problems with my Westinghouse LTV-32w3 HD TV. If flickers and rolls kind of like the old tube tv used to roll and you would have to adjust it in the back by turning the nob. I have a 37 inch Westinghouse as well and they both have color shifting so bad that you can't see the picture. HELP. I bout these both on line at Ubid.com

The LCD controller is bad, after about on for 30 minutes, see sample here: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/LTV-32W3HD/
Notee: my pix show the board with the cover removed. You can run the TV with the back open and have s small fan blowing in the back to keep it cool.
You need new LCD controller (there are more than one version, you need to match with the LCD panel): http://www.shopjimmy.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?q=ltv-32w3hd&stock=all

    There are more than one version of the T-CON board taht is why youhave to match the number as printed on the board itself, look at the number on the board carefully first.
    Here is what they have at shojimmy.com http://www.shopjimmy.com/catalogsearch/r...
    It shows three versions of the T-CON board.

    My pictures at photobucket: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352... LTV-32W3HD/

    Photobucket updated the website and it messed up my old link.

    Hi budmrtn, I've been following your photobucket/fixya tutorials for a while now, and can credit at least a half dozen fixed LCDs to the confidence garnered through your detailed, helpful posts! So much so that I saved a 32W3-HD from heading to the recycler just now after googling "32w3 dead" and happily discovering that you, specifically, answered several questions on the topic.

    So respecting your experience, I come to you with a question. I saw in another question here http://www.fixya.com/support/t3700572-go... someone suggested simply replacing the 35v220uF capacitor. I consider a $50 board from shopjimmy to be plenty inexpensive, but of course I love the idea of a 1$ capacitor replacement for those of us comfortable replacing caps. So my question is: do you think replacing that capacitor would cure the problem? Or, more to the point, do you think that the capacitor is only a (major) symptom of a deeper underlying cause?

    Thank you again!

I have a Westinghouse LTV 32w3 HD LCD TV (LTV32w3HD)and it does not come on. I know it is getting power as when i unplug from the wall i can hear a noise.

hi;
its sounds like a loose solder or high voltage leak inside your LTV
if you know how to open the back cover or technical experience to troubleshoot
you can check the power supply board and inverter board if it has a loose solder
you can visualize it in the back of the board.
also check the wires connected to inverter boards if it has a leak.
or shorts.

Frozen picture and no button response

Hi John.
Try unplugging the TV for about 30 minutes to an hour (reset TV) to see if this fixes your issue. If it does not, leave the TV unplugged all night and see if it will operate normally. Hope this helps.

Freezes during auto programming

The atsc or qam tuner in your Westinghouse LTV-32W3 HDTV is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. Unfortunately you will need to purchase a new mainboard since it is integrated. Another option is to return to using an external tuner like your cable box.
