Did the new DPS-336A resolve your problem? I wanted to know as I am considering ordering one since the one I have looks good and there is not any information on what actually needs to be fixed on the board.
Thanks,
Brad

- Thanks for the quick response!! I have the old board out and I am ready to replace it with a new one but I just need to take the risk and order the new one. It's too bad there is not a newer board available or a replacement board available as I am some what skeptical about putting in the exact same board with a track record of failing. The other odd thing is how the current board does not show signs of obvious failure. It would be nice if they would even share with the public what part of the board is failing so we could address it specifically rather than ordering a new board. It would reduce the cost invovled for the repair that is for sure. I'll definitely keep you updated with my results.
-   I believe my power supply is also bad. I can hear a squeal from it when the unit is powered on. Symptoms are red and green dots appearing randomly around the menu items. Did either of you notice a microchip on the backside of the power supply with 2 legs cross soldered. It just didn't seem right to me. Would love to find a schematic.....

I was going to post later this week but I have been running perfect, without any problems at all for over 6 days now! I just went in and replaced the DSP-336AP. I took digital photo's once I pulled the back off to be sure all connectors went back on and I was careful not to touch any other wiring. You will need to also pull of the power cable connector in order to pull off the power supply cover as well as it slides out and the power connect thing blocks it. I did see that although the revision of the DPS-336AP was exactly the same as the newly purchased one, the serial number of the one I purchased on eBay was a few hundred newer or higher. I was hoping that it was a new rev and hoped that Westinghouse fixed the problem. Nonetheless, all is working perfectly once again. I paid about $150 for that DPS-336AP on eBay and there were only two sellers on eBay offering this board. Good luck and please take the time to update me as well. I suspect W sold a few thousand of these TV's and you and I will be the only ones who fixed them ourselves. Anyway, good luck to you!!!!!!!
