Hello.
New user here, stumbled onto the site while trying to scour Google for my issue here...
Was given a relatively "new" Westinghouse LCD TV by some friends, whom, after a recent lightning storm, found that the TV would no longer turn on.
The only sign that the TV was receiving any power at all was/is that the SPDIF optical output port flashes like a spastic 2-year-old as soon as you plug it in. No response to any controls, no other lights, no sound (though I didn't try actually plugging in to the optical)....just nothing. Seemingly dead TV.
Tried replacing the obvious power supply unit first. No change, same issue/symptoms. So, that seems to be good.
Next piece in line is the main board.
But, since trial and error diagnosis is a little on the expensive side, I thought I'd get a few opinions and expert guesses on the issue first.
