    Westinghouse LTV32W1

    I picked up this tv today and at first glance, The tv came on then after a few minutes would cut off. The timing of when it cut off was not always the same. After taking the cover off, I looked for bulging caps. There were none to be found. I checked the ESR on the caps to be good. After placing the board back on the chassis, I powered the unit back on to test the power rails. Eureka! I pressed down on the power supply board and the tv cut off. I found a bad solder joint on the transformer at pin #10.

    So far, so good. The tv is working great. One thing I did notice, the blue LED light on the front doesn't come on. The only way I've noticed that it does work is when I unplug the tv from the wall. It will flash for a split second and go out. The standby LED doesn't work either and of course the tv powers on and works fine. Has anyone run into this? It seems very backwards to what I'm used to seeing with these tvs.

    yeah I ran into that same thing however I ended up replacing the mainboard as I thought I found severe corrosion on it. I thought someone had spilled something inside. After I got the new mainboard I noticed that it had the same corrosion on the same chips. Must have been something from the factory. Strangely, it fixed the problem that I was having and then the blue standby LED wouldnt work anymore. I thought it was just me.

      After searching on the Web, I found out that Westinghouse had disabled the LED because it bothered people for being so bright. This tv, with the firmware version 0.37, is included. Later versions had a setting in the menu to turn the LED on or off.

          Hey I'm a newbie...but I am having the same problem. Where as the tv comes on for about 15 mins then shuts itself off and won't come back on as if it had to rest or cool down. I completely changed the power board and that's not the problem. can anyone point me in another direction for a successful repair?
