Tv sound works sometime and not other times

Our tv is 6 years old about three months ago we notice a crackling and then the sound would work when you first turned the tv on. Then it cuts out completely. If you leave the tv on for hours then turn the tv off for 5 minutes then turn it on again it works fine. However this is annoying to say the least.

On some of these Hitachis they have a surround sound option, there is an additional board in there that goes bad and needs to be repaired. suggest a repairman or service center.

Westinghouse TV making crackling sound

I have had the same issue with a Westinghouse 50 inch LED TV. I believe it is not the power supply but the HDMI input. You can temporarily work around by plugging your primary source into the other HDMI. You may also get some relief by using the Westy remote, finding the TV menu, then selecting (Option) (Restore All). There may be an arcane procedure to reset the HDMI.

Tv is on with no picture or sound, only 4 months old!!

Hello
The power supply regulator board to your set has the fault. If you try to open the set, or try to repair it by yourself, the warranty will void. The set must have warranty as it is new. Why do you spend for it? Just contact the nearest authorised service center for Sceptre. the components in this set will be very hard to get from open electronic spare part market, and will costly too.

Television picture does not work when first turned on

It seems that there are capacitors in the power supply which have dried or leaked, It is vurtually impossible to diagnose sight unseen however, the fact that it effected the three colours I envisage that problem to be associated with the supply, also the curving effect makes me look there, it seems that there is a ripple in the AC. I am assuming that it would take around 1.5hrs and cost of caps. This is working on the assumption that the fault is what I have listed without looking at it. Cost may be around the $150-$250 but don't quote me, I can't see the fault so it is an educated guess only...Phil
