Re: Westinghouse LD-4655VX - My First LED

Ok Im with you. I have already taken the old ribbon out so the black edging in already off. I just hope it goes back together like it should. I took it all apart without taking pictures as I went. Probably a rookie mistake but I did put the screws in seperate bags as I got to different layers of the tv so that should help. I emailed Westinghouse to see if they offer replacement parts but Im not holding my breath.

I had planned on it. How does it need to be ran?

Re: Westinghouse LD-4655VX - My First LED

Yes I disconnected one at a time. TV comes on with left ribbon disconnected. Nothing happened to my tv it just failed. It was turning itself off randomly and wouldnt come on for hours. Finally it just stopped coming back on. After some research, I thought maybe the board had bad caps so I bought a new board (never soldered and didnt want to mess with trying to figure out which one). $80 mistake. Then after finding this thread, I noticed my cable was burnt and had plastic melted off. Sounds like this will do the trick. Thanks a lot

Re: Westinghouse LD-4655VX - My First LED

I have the same issue with my ribbon cable. I have never repaired a tv just a couple computers in my day. Excuse the stupid question but my cable says AWM 20706 and someone suggested this:

I assume the AWM numbers do not matter? I too messaged a couple ebay users selling parts to the LD-4655VX and found one who had already sold the cables...
