Possible that the power supply has failed and the switch mode supply can be checked if you are aware of the principle.
Please check the link below for tips. If the fuse is blown the chances are that the driver is short.

    also the tv makes a slight humming noise as long as the power cord is plugged in.

    The hum confirms there is circuit in strain and could also result in heating and further damage if switched on and so must be checked out. Possible there is damaged storage capcitors that have resulted in poor DC filtering and so the HUM. Check the power supply.

    I found a replacement power supply board online. If we replace the board would that fix the problem.

First try a new power cord for the TV. If that doesn't solve the problem, the power supply has failed. (Possibly one or more capacitors on the power supply board have failed. Alternatively, a fuse, zener diode or resistor that works as a fuse has failed) You will need to open the tv and inspect the power supply. Westinghouse TVs use a number of different boards. If you want to replace the entire power supply, you will need to note that exact part number on the label. ShopJimmy has refurbished and used power supplies for this model: http://www.shopjimmy.com/westinghouse-sk-32h240s . The used ones are from TVs that were damaged in shipping and thus have minimal use. http://www.partstore.com/Model/Westinghouse+Digital+Electroni/Westinghouse+Digital/SK32H240S/Other+Remotes.aspx also has replacement parts.

I hope this helps.

    out of stock on every website. Any ideas where I can get one,

  • Cindy Wells Oct 04, 2011

    Which power supply do you need? What's the part number? ShopJimmy has at least one of them available:http://www.shopjimmy.com/westinghouse-56... . (At least just now it reads as in stock.) Without a part number, I can't try another source. Otherwise, you will need soldering skills and to replace individual parts on the board. (Tedious but sometimes a good choice since many boards were built cheap and have bad solder joints.) The capacitors can be found in online stores (or Radio Shack for some).

    part number is 5604264021g

  • Cindy Wells Oct 04, 2011

    The 5604264021g power supply is listed as in stock at a few places.http://www.discounttvparts.com/56_04264_... (one in stock) ,http://www.moduslinkptstvboards.com/5604... (8 in stock) . Unfortunately, I do not know these vendors. (Most of my parts come from ShopJimmy and PartStore.)

Is the LED light purple ?

I have only read bad things about this model. Here are some of the things I have come across. Try this first. With the TV on, unplug it, wait a few seconds an plug it back in. You may also turn off the energy saving mode.

Beyond that the problem could be one of four problems;
1) Bad cable connection to inverter board. Make sure all cables are firmly seated.
2) Inverter board is bad.
3) Power to inverter board is bad.
4) CCFT(cold cathode fluoresent light) has problems.

Westinghouse 32 in LCD TV

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.
