    Sammy LN-T4671F screaming static bursts of noise

    Ok, so, this TV is terrifying.

    I pulled it out, and plugged it in and it worked fine. This has happened before, where I get a TV that behaves fine at first, and then starts shutting off or has intermittent behavior of some problem. So, I set it up for my GF to watch some TV on and after a few minutes of fiddling with the settings for full pixel, turn off dynamic, etc, it emits a burst of horribly loud noise, and scared the bejeezus out of me, as I was only a foot or so away. After about a minute it did it again. OK, GF is complaining, but I wondered if maybe it would abate as the TV warmed up.

    Nope, a minute later it started full blast terrifying-grudge-ghost-in-your-TV screaming and I pulled the plug.

    Any ideas? bad speaker connection somewhere? Bad main? I haven't opened it yet, but wondering if anyone has encountered this before.

    TV seems nice otherwise, despite the glossy screen.

    EDIT: Not just the audio. After testing it a few more times, the screen started bugging out in conjunction with the audio freak outs. Now, I just get a highly messed up digital artifacted image when I turn it on. So...main board right?

    Cheers

    Was the screen normal during this? Could be a short in the audio processor. And yes this is located on the mainboard
    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

      Screen was fine. I'm hoping it's just a speaker fix, but kinda doubt it.

        It was at first, but after more fiddling, nope, screen is just as screwy as the audio. I'll take it apart and have a look at the board, reseat all cables, etc.

        EDIT: Took it apart, no obvious bulges or anything anywhere. Tried all three HDMI inputs, same thing. Tried flexing the main board while it was freaking out, and it would fix itself. So, definitely the main. I wish I had access to a reflow oven.

        Ordered a replacement off ebay for like 35 bucks. We'll see.

        Cheers

          Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
          by spice_disc
          I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

          The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

          Crate guitar amp with extremely loud static on power on (no input)
          by mon2
          Hi. Not our mainstream line of work - we work with digital mostly. Will study the schematic found on the internet. The output darlington transistors appear to be ok. Even with no input, the output is extremely loud with static / crackle / pop. Any ideas? Will post more details and fix as we continue the review. Have not checked the main power supply rails yet (+-40V and +-16V).

          Radio, no stations, quiet static sound
          by diggitt
          Hi,
          I am repairing a DeWalt DC011 radio. I found that the secondary coil of the transformer had gone open circuit and the amplifier ic had shorted. I have replaced both but I can’t tune it in to a station and the static is very quiet. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

          LG 75UH8500 color static frozen

          Got a LG with color static frozen. Doesn't move just stays on this picture. I'd assume it's main board but I'm sure one of you has seen this before. Any data helps thanks...

          by ChattFix
          Hey everyone, I have a Sony Xbox-65x900e with static lines. I’m assuming either the panel or t-con. Any suggestions before I start diagnosing? Service manual says T-con, panel, or B* Board (which I have no idea what that is)...
