Westinghouse LTV-27W Repair
|
Can't Post

Hello,
My Westinghouse LCD 27" TV has an orange light problem. I get image and sound for short periods of time and then nothing. Instead of a blue light noting my tv is ON, I get an orange SAFE MODE light. I've been doing some research and it appears that this is a common problem with this model/brand. For those who have opted to repair the solution was a new power supply unit (PSU) which can be purchased through Sears online.
This sounded great to me. So I took apart the tv tonight to get a look inside to see how difficult it might be for me to replace the PSU. I got the darn thing apart but am not sure how simple getting an old PSU out and a new PSU in will be for someone who has never repaired a tv before. Lots of wires...etc.
I saw that there was a control board as well as a PSU. The PSU was tan the control board green.
So my question is this...can someone here advise me on replacing the PSU or should I just pack it in and buy a new TV. I really can't afford it or I wouldn't be here in the first place but I also like the challenge.
Grateful for any advice!

With all do respect, I would pack it in and get a new one. For thew cost of the repair, it wouldn't hurt to spend just a little more and get new. Good luck to you.
