SOURCE: I have a Westinghouse SK-26H590D

Hi.

Error 18G0W012 is not reported anywhere. The problem seems being firmware/software related. Try contacting Westinghouse and see if they have a firmware or software update available for this unit.

If they have an update you will receive a link for the download, and then you will have to burn a CD to play in the DVD.

There should be a V-Chip update on Westighouse website. Before doing any update contact them. Upgrading with wrong update may damage your unit.

SOURCE: I have a phillips dual

Hello,
Problem is either from the inverter or the screen itself. But faults like this usually comes from the inverter.
The job of the inverter is to bring out display on the screen. So if the screen is not bringing displaying anymore, the first thing to check would be the inverter.
The inverter is a long rectangular chip usually found under the screen.
To confirm it's actually an inverter problem, connect the player to a TV and there should be a display.
The challenge now is how to get a replacement inverter because the replacement inverter for this player is scarce. You will have to look for one that is damaged, and remove it's inverter.
If the above is not clear, please let me know.
Regards.

The screen went black, nothing on it at all

Check the fuse on back of radio and then your factory automotive fuses. If the screen is black, BUT you're getting audio then it just means the ribbon cable ripped which is common on motorized radios such as this one.

WHAT DOSE E7 ERROR CODE MEANS

Don't know what that code means but....
On my DVD-LV50, I was able to re-initialize and fix a different error (error code H05). It might work for you, too.

With no disk in the player, press and hold these buttons for 4 seconds:
  1. Back skip -- [ |<< ]
  2. Pause -- [ || ]
  3. Play -- [ > ]
The screen will go blank, then say "Initialized."

After that, it worked like new.

I hope that helps.
