Re: Westinghouse LVM-37W3



Nothing to provide pictures of. The fade effect only happened one time years ago unexpectedly, the screen has never worked since, only displaying a backlit black image, and has been in pieces in storage.

The panel controller and the main board for this display are both available for $25, guess I'll have to take my chances with one or both. Checked it over again last night, backlight working, power supply fine, just no image driving the display.

I just can't be sure if the panel requires the controller to drive...

Pulled this out of storage, thought I'd check it out.

Years ago while I was using this display on my PC, the screen started to do a left to right pixel fade to black and died. It looked like a controlled slow digital fade/wipe/transition effect. Screen never came back on.

Logo lights up. Inputs switch, audio plays on the correct input, etc. Screen stays black and gets hot.

I know that LCDs work such that a pixel being "off" is black, which means the LCD is actually on, hence the panel itself is working and getting hot because it's drawing...
