Re: Westinghouse LD-4655VX - My First LED

Just wanted a post an update to my attempt to fix my dead westinghouse.

I had the bad ribbon cable at/near the connection at the led bar. So I tried to just separate the ribbon cable from the metal bar by inserting something behind/under the ribbon but was unable to get that side of the tv to illuminate. Decided to go online an buy the ribbon cable and attempt to replace them. Found them online delivered for approx $22. In my mind, my choices were to (1) live with the tv with only one half the tv illuminated. Not awful, but...

Re: Westinghouse LD-4655VX - My First LED

So, add me to the long list of people with a dead 46" westinghouse TV. Been reading this thread and have verified that one of the ribbons leading to one of the led strips is the culprit. Sound familiar? I'm convinced I have to replace the ribbon as there is no slack at the connection at the led bar to affect a repair (getting electircal tape between the ribbon and the bar) without completely dissembling the tv. In which case I would prefer to replace the ribbons

My question is this: The end of the ribbon at the board...
