    Westinghouse WD32HN1640-S black screen-no backlight, mainboard TP.MS3393.PB818

    Hello, guys!

    I have this Westinghouse 32" LCD TV that turns on, standby led lights up (blue) but no image. If I knock on the screen there's no backlight present. I took the back cover off and injected voltage on the led connector using a Led TV Backlight Tester, and no light at all, so... it must be that there's some bad Leds, right? Or there is some another testing that should I have to do? Any guiding I'll appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance!

    Alex.

    Seems so, try the flashlight test if you have not. if you see an image that that's probably further proof of bad leds.

      Thanks, man! I'll try that.

      EDIT: I did the flashlight test and ... it does show picture! So, the problem is with the Leds.
      I've never bought any TV parts before, though... is there any website for doing so you recommend?

      Thanks in advance!

        Try ebay, just be sure to go with one with good feedback. They shouldn't cost much. You want to go by the numbers on the strips to insure a match. I'd tear it down, confirm strip numbers, store in safe low traffic area til strips arrive. If ever in doubt there's some very helpful people here to help you through it.

          Can check youtube for how to help, one here, he shows how to test backlights after teardown. He's working on a westinghouse, probably not your same model but doesn't matter for just testing backlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFX-NbpMntI

            Dell G3 15 3500 - Battery bug (black screen and flashing keyboard backlight)
            by HTR-Informatique
            Hello,

            YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

            I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

            On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

            I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

            I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

            I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

            AOC U34G3XM, new monitor, black screen with backlight on, possible shortcircuit during dissassembly
            by turmix
            Hello, I'm working on a new deskmod pc project and have a problem with my monitor, an AOC U34G3XM, well, I may have bricked it.

            The monitor was dismanteled and the separate parts parts integrated in the desk. the screen panel alone is on the upper part, and main board/video board + power board on the back of the desk (not enough place on the cover to fit it)
            At first everything was working smoothly, then I decided to change the connexion between the video board and the screen for a longer one. Still working fine

            During another reassembly, I made a mistake, and...

            Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
            by Mgiffune
            I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

            I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and
            ...

            Sony XBR-75X950G seems dead with a black screen but backlight and sound is working and no blinking red lights
            by Audeze
            I have a 2019 75" x950g, and while playing a movie, the screen suddenly went dark in a weird way, where it faded towards one corner into being fully black. Now the TV turns on, and the backlight comes on, but there is nothing displayed except black. Sound still comes through the TV speakers, and i have tried doing a hard reset using the volume - and power buttons while plugging the display back in, but it did not fix it. I can confirm that pressing buttons on my remote is still doing "something" because I'm hearing sound still, even though the screen is black.

            Does...

            Sony xbr-65x930e faded to black; now has backlight but no picture
            by kerberos137
            Hopefully someone can help me out. This tv was working perfectly until a few weeks ago. At some point, the TV just faded to black, but sound continued playing. It almost looked like smoke on the screen as it faded from the bottom left corner toward the top right. Took only a second or less, but wasn't instant. After restarting, it turned back on and worked fine for another day or two. Then it happened again more or less the same way, but in a slightly different direction, again with sound continuing. I thought it was working fine after another restart, but looked a bit dimmer than before. Then...
