Philips 42pf3331 and 42Pfl5603d/12

[Tohatsu]

Okay, here are my two problems:
The 42pf331 does after a while (sometimes 30mins, sometimes not at all) produce a high pitch noise, 18-20kHz region.

i was told this could be the core of a drossle vibrating. My plan is to glue em all when i open it. Suggestions?

Second issue:
The other TV usually needs 4-6 attempts to start before the backlight lights up. The sound is OK, and after reading here, I understand that it is possible that its just the backlight not working. I have not tested this with a flashlight, as the tv is on now and will only produce the issue when it has been turned off for some time.

I tried upgrading the firmware, as this solved a friends issues (same as mine), but it did not work.

What info do you need from me now?

(no need for low tech-talk, I know my way around )

Thanx!

Split the second TV into a second thread. It doesn't cost much, and saves a lot of confusion.

Next a single picture of each TV. We want to see the back so we can direct you if we need additional pictures. Make the pictures as close to 2000 x 2000 pixels as possible without going over. Attach them using 'Manage Attachments' - below the test entry area.

As for the noise in the 42pf3331, use the core from a roll of towels or a similar tube as a rudimentary telescope to isolate the source of the sound.

I know I'm going to hate myself for this, but have you considered the problem with the 42Pfl5603d/12 might be bad caps?
