Westinghouse 1080P 42" LCD TV - HDMI stopped working

My westinghouse 42" 1080P lcd hdmi ports just stopped working. I've tried plugging into different HDMI ports and none of them work.

This happened before and then it started to work again suddenly.
My HDMI ports still do not work after many resets and unplugging the power cord. All other inputs work. I currently have my DVD and cable box hooked up to the 3-wire component input. Note that this unit is a refurbished unit they sent me last month after my new unit failed 6 months after I bought it.

Does anyone have any insight here? I am not returning it, so if I cannot get it to work I'll just suffer until it fails.

    Same issue here! It seems liek the HDMI circuit must have just failed, of course the one year warrenty expired. I guess im not buying off-brand next time, but the TV works great otherwise so I willl ride it out a it longer before I drop the cash for a new set. Too bad.

I know this is late, but this happens frequently. If anyone else has the same problem try unplugging the TV for 60 seconds. Plug it back in and then hold the power button down for 30 seconds. That will reset the TV.
You should see the Westinghouse logo come up and the HDMI should work. This has happened twice with my TV in 1 year.

Sounds to me like you are trying to use a composite hookup or a generic HDMI cable. If you get the official Microsoft HDMI connector it also includes phono audio outputs and an optical audio out for 5.1 surround,

4 HDMI jacks, all stopped working at once

TV probably had a power surge, which distroyed the IC that handles the HDMI input multiplexor.

If restarting does not help I am afraid you'll have to change main board.

Board ID 48.70E01.01A or W421TAFX69 is what you are looking for.

Hope this helps!

Westinghouse ltv 32w4 hdc 32.02 in. hdtv lcd tv / dvd combo

My 42" Westinghouse HDMI inputs just stopped working. I thought it was the TW Explorer 4250HDC issue so I got a new one from TW. Still said no signal from HDMI. So, I shut the TV down and pulled the power cord out of the back. I waited a few seconds and reconnected the pwr cord. The TV "re-booted" so to say and now the HDMI inputs work. I think TVTEK has the right idea that it is firmware/software related. In the mean time, you might want to give that a try.
