    Beko 21241tds - crt

    Just thought I'd run through a couple of issues I'm experiencing with this set.

    The first issue is with a whining, high pitched noise the TV makes a short time after startup. After a couple of minutes, it begins to make a high pitched squeal, then gets a little higher in pitch, and then suddenly the squeal just dissolves away (I liken it to the way a headache disappears 10-20 minutes after taking a couple of Neurofen).

    Now, I had the back cover off earlier, and it seemed that the noise is there a few seconds after switching on, I just didn't hear it before, the cover must shield some of the earlier pitch noise. Anyway, I had a screwdriver, and flexed the board in the area in the photographs attached, and the noise would come and go. Interestingly, as I moved the screwdriver towards the component marked "termal 70u" the pitch got higher, even though I didn't touch it. And as soon as the screwdriver touched the component, the squealing stopped; lift the screwdriver and the squeal would return. Touching a few other small components around there seemed to muffle the squeal as well. Top of that component is magnetic too; anyone know what it is? It has a coil around it.

    So, anything I can do to stop the squeal? Do I need to resolder the other side, it's legs look like they could do with a bit more? Does this component get hot? Needs to be replaced?


    The other issue is with some of the TV adjustments, namely colour and sharpness. When I try to adjust them, the adjustment doesn't do anything to the picture, the scale moves all the way from 0-100, but no difference to picture. The range of the brightness and contrast seems like they could be better too, but there is a noticeable change when they are adjusted. Volume adjustment seems to be ok. Anyone know what's likely to be at fault? I've attached a photo of the AV area, but there doesn't seem to be much to it, a number of caps and a few chips mainly. I can make a better photo if anyone thinks it would help. The picture on the set is pretty good, for a TV of this age, but a little bit of colour would improve it quite a bit. Would old caps affect issues such as this?

    For the adjustments, more likely resistors that have shifted value or bad solder joints.

    The whine is coming from the flyback (loose windings) and unfortunately there isn't much you can do about it.

    A working TV? How boring!

      First off get your vacuum out and get rid of all the dust and crap that's built up. The component you refer to is an inductor/choke; try resoldering the joints, then apply several drops of superglue along the top of the coil windings, letting it soak around the coil aided by gravity - let it dry then repeat 2 or 3 more times. This worked for me when I recently repaired the PSU in my LCD TV, although the noise wasn't as bad as what you seem to be experiencing. Good luck

        Thanks for the pointers.

        Resoldering the legs of the inductor seems to have sorted that issue. I'm guessing it didn't have enough "foundation", and as it warmed up, was able to vibrate at various frequencies. I added a nice blob to each leg and it seems to have stopped, so hopefully that issue is sorted.

        Funnily enough, the adjustment issue of colour and sharpness seems to have been sorted too, although all I did was unsolder and test one resistor (the one beside the tuner), as in circuit it didn't have the correct resistance, but out of circuit it did. I cleaned the board a bit too, there seemed a bit of reside of a spill or where liquid had entered around the area of the SCART and aerial sockets. How would doing those have improved the adjustments?

        The brightness and contrast seem to have more of a range too. Fail to see how cleaning the board may have helped, but maybe it did.

          It's amazing when you think you haven't really 'done' anything yet you seem to have achieved a result! The resistor measurement in-circuit may have been affected by other components, or it may have been a bad/dry joint, which could explain a fix after it being resoldered. You also noticed the bad inductor joints - these circuits generate a lot of heat which creates bad/dry joints, especially on high current components. I hope your fix is long lived.

            Panasonic TX-L50B6B | High pitched noise and black lines
            by oldmanhouse
            Hi folks, I have an issue with my 7 year old Panasonic TX-L50B6B that has appeared within the last few days.

            The symptoms are:
            • A high pitched "buzzing" / "whining" noise coming from the TV when it is turned on. There is no noise during standby, and the noise persists with all AV connections removed.
            • There are noticable horizontal lines in the picture. Upon closer inspection it looks like every few rows of pixels are dead/black.


            Attached is a close-up of the picture in "test mode", to demonstrate the rows of black lines.

            Removing electrical noise introduced by fan
            by tony359
            Hi all,

            I am working on a sound processor, it tends to overheat so I fitted a fan inside. The fan is connected to the +15V of the PSU via a DC-DC converter based on the LM2596 to reduce the voltage to around 10.5V.

            Unfortunately the analogue circuitry is picking up the noise from the fan in two ways:
            1. The fan is close to the analogue section, the motor itself gets into the outputs so I'll have to move it somewhere else
            2. Even with the fan running outside of the case, there is still some noise which is clearly going back to the processor via power line....

            Onkyo TX-SR805 noise in one channel
            by MegaZAC
            Surprisingly enough, this receiver doesn't have the DSP chip issue. The HDMI board does not get hot, and sound over HDMI works fine.

            Regardless of the input, the right channel has noise that is clearly noticeable even on average volume level. The only cases when there's no noise is when VCR input is selected (some tracks on the board are damaged, maybe that's why), or if HDMI input is selected but nothing plugged into it. In all other cases, even when no input is connected I still have the noise.

            There's some logic behind it. As soon as I select an input I get only left...

            Issue: Funai FW55D25F - High Pitched Squeal Upon Power-on.

            Solution: Replace C3208 and C3209 on main board. These are surface mounted capacitors. Values unknown so I just used same physical size capacitors from a donor board.

            Philips HTS8000 home cinema noise problem
            by courtcircuit
            Hello

            I have since a long time a Philips HTS8010S/01 which has been old but was doing the job.

            Since a few days, it starts by making a weird "static" nois when switches on for a few seconds to a minute and then works like a charm.
            Noise loudly outputs from the 3 channels, even if no signal is sent by the controler.DVD to the subwoofer/amp unit.

            I was thinking of a soldering that was starting to be damaged and that was only doing the job after a few seconds of heating, most probbaly on the power board
