    Westinghouse LD4655VX overly sensitive buttons

    Hi all!

    I have a Westinghouse LD4655VX television that turns itself on and off and flips through the menus, inputs and volume randomly and spontaneously.

    I originally thought that some rogue signals were causing the TV to flip out, but I have now isolated the cause, just need to know how to fix it.

    Cause: the TV has a control panel along the lower right side consisting of buttons for power, volume and menu. Normally you would touch the button with your finger to activate the function… I find now that just putting my hand in the vicinity of the right side of the TV activates the functions and the TV goes bonkers!

    If the TV is on a stand in the corner of the room, it works fine for days. When I mount it on a metal wall bracket, it immediately starts flipping through its menu options. I suspect this is because the TV is mounted over the fireplace, even though the fireplace is rarely used. (Gas fireplace may still be emitting some heat…)

    I suspect this would be remedied if I could deactivate that control panel. I do not need to use the buttons as I have a universal remote. Ideas on how to deactivate this bugger???

    Thanks!

    Try sticking a metal plate, preferably grounded, between the location of the panel and the wall. It might be EMF from a power line running inside the wall, and blocking it with a thin grounded steel plate will tell. Best to keep that TV away from heat sources for longer life.

        I fix that problem before I think it was cold soldering joint issue. post picture to help refresh my memory.

          Kermi IRT 10 Towel Dryer Infrared Thermostat
          by h0m3w0rk
          Hi everyone,

          I have a Kermi infrared wireless room thermostat that simply does not function as it should.

          The display turns on sporadically or remains completely off. When the display is on, I can use the buttons (rubber domes) and navigate through the menus. Sometimes the display shows plausible text but does not respond to button presses. In other cases, the device is entirely inactive.

          After detailed measurements, I found 5V almost everywhere across the board, which indicates a stable power supply. However, the mentioned issues persist.

          Based...

          Hello all, Aiwa TX-110 Tuner got out of storage and the buttons was held in by some gloop, What glue would you use to restick these buttons (they are no snapped off)

          Thank you

          Help with identifying missing resistor from JVC push buttons TV3024-ZC10-01(C)
          by cheeky2
          Someone previously had damaged a couple of the push buttons who has whilst pushing them in pushed off a smd resistor from a JVC 40" LED TV LT-40C550 main board MSDV3255-ZC01.
          The missing resistor off the push control buttons TV3024-ZC10-01(C) pcb is R06 see the pictures.
          I have tried downloading manuals for the Haier manufactured main board however they don't include the schematic for the push buttons!
          So if anyone has the pcb that could measure the resistance or have a schematic diagram for it would be much appreciated.
          Thanks ...

          Looking for DURABLE, high quality mouse switches for the buttons, and a scroll switch button so I don't have to buy a new mouse every year or so. (Redragon M688-1). Anyone know a good supplier?

          Westinghouse W55UW4620 No Video
          by Nicktronic
          Ok, so I know I know, it's a Westinghouse....lol It's got the backlights but no video. Likely the panel, but I'd like to take some measurements on the buffer board with help from you experts to confirm. See the attached pictures. In pic #1, there's a nice pin reference to use to take some measurements. The large IC in pic #7 gets up to 60degC when the TV is on.

          So, backlights, no video, go! πŸ™‚...
