how can i get my westinghouse digital tv to work with a computer connection? it keeps saying i have an invalid format

Does not accept the disc or you get no disc or cannot read?

Have the actual remote itself tested---most shops will do it for free--if remote is bad you know and if tests good suspect the remote receiver in the set on the front is bad.The last possible reason is some sets have a lockout feature that disables the remote feature inside the TV---not real common but no unheard.

Looks like some dry solder, dry or leaky capacitors in board. Anyhow, first of all check and ensure that your input device, cables, connectors and jacks are ok and there are no loose contacts. Try working the TV on a DVD player and see. If problem persists, call in a qualified service technician.

Hello
Get into Menu Operations and come to the window video reset. You can get this in its manual section [1-6]. Reset all video sub menu items to factory reset. Check out after this reset process whether the problem solves or not. If not its video card has some trouble. Contact
www.westinghousedigital.com and enquire them about the nearest westinghouse Authorised Service center of theirs to you. Thy only can set it right. OK.

If the screen is broke you should consider the tv as TOTALED. The price of a new LCD screen can be more than the cost of a new tv with warranty.
You can sell the set for parts and get a new tv.

No.

No disc error can be a DIY like the following steps.

Assuming that the disc is good.

1.Cleaning the lens. - Sometimes because of dust the lens can't read any disc.

Try clean the lens by soft cotton buds. Be careful while doing this.

2.Replacing the ribbon - Check the ribbon connected to the lens from the main board for scratch, damage. Once it has an open line then of course the lens can't read the disc. Also try to erase the contact by pencil eraser.

If you've done the steps above and the symptoms still there then the next step requires you a little knowledge in soldering technique and reading the ohmmeter.

3.Checked the motor - Check the motor that spin the disc with an ohmmeter. You can test it using the ohmmeter (x1) even it is connected on the lens assembly.

Good motor - reading should be fairly high and it will spin.

Bad motor - reading will drop to low resistance and will not spin.

Hint : 50% of my repaired unit the above parts are commonly caused of the problem.

If you confirmed that you have a defective motor then replace it with a new one. Before replacing the new motor you have to check the clearance of the disc holder with the old one. The clearance should be the same as the old because if not the lens will not read the disc if it is too far or too close.
If you already cleaned the lens, and confirmed that the ribbon is good as well as the motor then I've advice you to send it to repair shop because the next step should be done with an expert because it is quite technical diagnosing the fault between the pick-up lens and the main board. Have a nice day!
