While I wait on a part to arrive for my LG project, I decided to return to an older project which has made me go bananas
.
TV is Westinghouse SK-32H240S. I got it from a friend who didn't feel like messing with it. Has no remote (this might become important as you read more). Measured the voltages and all seem quite normal. Where I stand now is trying to figure out what is wrong, so here are the symptoms.
-TV will power up to an all black screen.
-After ~5sec at this black screen, it goes to a dimmer screen with very faint rainbow vertical lines
-After ~15sec at the dim black/rainbow line screen it goes into standby with orange indicator light which was blue the whole time before.
I'm not sure if the side input selection button works as I cannot seem to get sound on any of the inputs. My LG project (here) makes me think the issue is again the T-CON board. They're quite cheap for this set, so maybe I could try it?
Also browsed the forum for other SK-32H240S issues and found one thread which seemed to be an inverter issue/2 seconds to black, but I have backlight the whole time and don't think this is the issue.
Could it be the power supply/inverter board? Any input would be a great help.
