I bought this TV about a year and a half ago. A couple days ago I turned it on but no picture came on. The audio works fine but the TV is not producing a picture. Can somebody help me out with this? Westinghouse has been no help at all. Thanks
I have had this problem now for about six months with my Niko OPT-3211W. After replacing the Inverter card, VIT70002.00 as suggested nothing changed. I then read that it may be a couple of capacitors in the power supply, but I do not have the skills needed to replace them, nor do I want to pay to fix it. The solution is simple... turn on the TV and wait two to five minutes, then turn off the main power. I suggest using a power strip. Then turn the power back on in two to five seconds. The TV will come back on and it works great from then on. I thought that it was a freak thing, but it keeps working.

I had the same problem today, but noticed the picture is there, but almost like the "light" setting has been tuned to 0 so no light comes through the tv... if i could see my menu i could probably reset it but thats the real problem...

I just got my 32" Westinghouse LCD SK32H240S back yesterday from a warranty business and they replaced a transformer on the power supply. It works now so hopefully that helps someone pinpoint this problem.

I have the same problem. Just got it a year ago.
me too.... it turns on with sound and all, but no picture.... totally weak!
Me too - I've had mine for closer to 2 years though - Last night turned on the TV, nothing but sound.
Same here. Sound was fine, but no picture after 11 months. Bought the TV from Bestbuy and bought the 4yr warranty. Got 3 more years to go!
Have had the Westinghouse 32" about a year and a half.
Worked fine until today. Turned it on and had no picture.
The power is on and it has sound but I am also unable to adjust the volume or change channels.
Is this repairable?
I tried changing the cable box, unplugged it, turned it on and off, and pressesed every button th remote at least a dozen times.
Like all other posts related to Westinghouse they were no help and basically sounded like they could care less.
Thanks
Exact same problem, but mine is the Westinghouse 40 inch Tv/dvd combo.. A little over year and a half old.. No picture, just sound.. Anyone happen to know where I could find parts??
I bought a used one ..original owners had for less than 2 years ..2 days after I purchased 32 in Westinghouse LCD 32H5405 sound works fine but no picture
i have the same problem
I have had my Westinghouse 32inch for a couple years...about a year after purchasing/using the following occured:
The TV rarely shows a picture when first turned on. Only audio. Is there a recall or fix for this?
Has anybody tried the part number mentioned above. I have the exact same problem and thinking of buying that part. Only difference, price at listed website was $139 instead $69 mentioned above.
turned TV on one day and got sound but no picture. after a while, screen showed a patchwork grid of pastel colors. after more time, poof, picture comes right back. it does this consistently now. it's like it needs a 5 or 10 minute warmup. the warmup period seems to be getting longer and longer before the "poof" happens and the picture comes up.
i got this 32" Westinghouse LCD about 12 months ago and just last week i turned the tv on and i got no picture. The sound is ok but even when i try to play with the tv menu nothing shows on the screen. Can any one help?????
Same problem here for the Niko 32" LCD from Tigerdirect - green power light comes on, can hear sound, but I have no picture. Â I can verify that the inverter card for my Niko model OPT-3211W is indeed VIT70002.00 (Rev. 5). This unit was purchased 2/2006 and failed 5/2009. Â Had not experienced any problems till today.
