Westinghouse TV Input Source Problem/No Signal

Usually, Westinghouse TV input source problems are caused by the following reasons:

1. Faulty HDMI cable or defective external devices.
2. Incorrect input selection.
3. Software or hardware malfunction.

Most of the time, a simple power reset is what you have to do to troubleshoot this issue, but if you have already done so, here’s something more for you!

Let’s move on…

How To Troubleshoot Westinghouse TV’s Input Source Problem

If you are experiencing input source problems with your Westinghouse TV, there are several possible causes and solutions to consider.

Here are some of the most common ones:

1) Faulty HDMI cable or defective external devices

This is one of the most common causes of input source problems with Westinghouse TVs.

If your TV is not receiving a signal from an external device, such as a cable box or DVD player, it could be due to a faulty HDMI cable or a defective device.

Try replacing the cable or connecting a different device to see if that solves the problem

2) Incorrect input selection

Make sure you have selected the correct input source on your TV. If you have multiple devices connected to your TV, you may need to switch between them to find the one you want to use.

Note: older Westinghouse TVs might have unique problems with how they handle input sources. For instance, some people have found that using particular cables or devices works better with these TVs.

But what about ‘No Signal’ message?

 

Here’s the detailed guideline:

Step 1: Issue with HDMI

The primary reason your TV has no signal is an issue with the HDMI input.

It could be that the HDMI ports have stopped working, or the HDMI ports are no longer working.

So, check and reset the HDMI input to restore communication between your TV and other connected devices.

Here’s how to reset it:

• Power off all connected HDMI devices.
• Next, power off the TV and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Press and hold the TV power button for about 30 seconds.
• Now disconnect and then reconnect all the HDMI devices and cables.
• Finally, plug the TV back into the outlet and turn on the TV. Now check the results.

If this method does not work, you may need to perform a factory reset on your TV.

But before that, try the following method first.

Step 2: Check the Input Source

If you have multiple TVs in your house, but only one is displaying the “NO SIGNAL” message, follow the steps below to fix it.

• Check that your TV is connected to the same source or port as your cable or satellite box.
• Turn on your TV by pressing the TV button on the remote control.
• On your TV remote, press the INPUT button.
• Cycle through all the inputs on your TV.
• Keep on until you reach the input that your cable or SAT box is connected to.
• Now, Your television will show cable or satellite configuration options.

From here, you can choose your desired show and hope your “No Signal” problem will be fixed.

If your TV screen still says “NO SIGNAL,” proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Reset your Cable or SAT box

If you’ve connected your TV to the correct input source and still don’t have a signal, your cable or satellite box may need to be reset.

Here’s how:

• Remove the power cable from the cable TV or SAT set-top box and unplug it.
• For 2 to 3 minutes, leave it unplugged.
• Reconnect the power cable to your cable or satellite box.
• Give the cable or satellite box time to power up, receive the signal, and initialize.

If “NO SIGNAL” remains on your TV screen, move to the next step.

Step 4: Power Cycle The TV

I understand that nobody wants to hear this, but it actually works!

Here’s why: If the problem you’re facing is due to a glitch in the system, turning it off and on again will refresh everything and fix the issues.

However, if you’ve already tried resetting the cable or satellite box and you still see “NO SIGNAL,” here’s what you can do:

• Disconnect the cable that connects your TV to the cable or satellite box.
• Remove the HDMI cable and any other cables from your cable TV or satellite box.
• Leave everything unplugged for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Plug the HDMI cable and any other cables back in.

Give your cable or satellite box some time to receive and start the signal again.

Make sure that all the cables connecting your cable or satellite box to your TV are firmly connected and in good condition.

Westinghouse TV can’t change the Input

If your Westinghouse TV can’t change the input, do the following things:

♦ Check the remote control: Ensure that the remote control is working properly. Sometimes, a malfunctioning remote can prevent you from changing the input on your TV.

♦ Verify the connections: Make sure that all the cables connecting your external devices (such as cable boxes, gaming consoles, or streaming devices) to the TV are securely plugged in.

♦ Use the TV buttons: If the remote control is not functioning correctly, try using the buttons on the TV itself to change the input. Look for a button labeled “Input” or “Source” on your Westinghouse TV’s control panel and press it to access the input menu. Then, navigate through the options using the arrow buttons and select the desired input.

♦ Power cycle the TV: Unplug your Westinghouse TV from the power source and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on.

F.A.Q.s

Q: Why is my Westinghouse TV displaying a “no signal” message?

The “no signal” message typically appears when the TV is not receiving a proper input signal.

This can be due to various reasons, such as disconnected cables, incorrect input source selection, or issues with the connected devices.

Q: I recently changed my internet service provider, and now my Westinghouse TV shows “no signal” for streaming services. How do I resolve this?

In this case, the “no signal” issue might be related to your TV’s internet connectivity. Ensure that your TV is connected to your new Wi-Fi network.

Go to the network settings on your TV and select the appropriate Wi-Fi network, entering the correct password if prompted. If the problem persists, restart your TV and router.

You may also want to check if there are any firmware updates available for your Westinghouse TV, as updating the firmware can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.

Q. Will resetting fix no signal issue?

This problem isn’t caused by any internal software-related error.

So I don’t think resetting will solve the problem. Still, if you want to try once, then definitely!

Keep in mind that, a factory reset will restore your TV to its default settings and you will lose all your settings and downloaded content. So, be sure to take a backup if needed.
