    Daewoo 901DN (?) CRT - the bad click

    Gah... I seriously didn't want to be forced to move to LCD yet, but just now my monitor has started making a repeatable bad sound. I got this as an in-warranty replacement, and there's no label on it so I'm not even sure of the model number - I can only go by the box it came in.



    Visually it's been fine, but every once in a while it will make a loud, high-pitched whine. This stops when I lightly slap the side of the case, or disappears on its own after 5-10 minutes. As well, over the last few months I've noticed a crackle sound and momentary picture dropout, as though something had momentarily shorted. This was rare though, maybe once every 150h that it was on.

    At present, it has started making 3-4 very loud electrical clicks at every power on or when coming out of power-saving mode. When it is switched off, it continues to make a similar number of similar sounding clicks every few seconds. During each click the "static burst" that can normally be heard from the glass plate on shutdown stops completely, and a second after the click it starts up again. There is also a perceptible difference in the sound made when the display output changes contrasts suddenly. I thought it might be the degauss system, but this seems to work normally when triggered from the OSD. Additionally, it is now dropping the picture for several hundred ms every 15 minutes or so.

    Here's a (poor quality, sorry) sound file in case anyone cares to hear: mp3 @ binarybooty.com

    00:01 - power off
    00:11 - power on
    00:14 - normal degauss completion sound
    00:17 - power off
    00:27 - power on
    00:30 - normal degauss completion sound

    Most of you seem a fair bit more knowledgeable about electronics repair, so I figured I'd see if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks!

    flyback will die soon.
    those clicks are arcs inside it.
    shop for a replacement and change it before it dies.

      Also check the soldering in the horizontal and high voltage sections. The tapping on case to stop noise sounds like you have some cold solder joints.

        Those are... both very specific answers. Cool! I also appreciate that someone who doesn't know anything about tube displays will have no idea what you're referring to. I will read up on it (and probably shop for an LCD display as well), but I imagine this may be a repair that's fairly dangerous due to the HV caps present. Would a safe flyback replacement require discharging these, or just exercising heightened caution? How similar would the replacement part have to be? And how much would a trained professional be likely to charge for the swap?

        Now, I also have a TV with tuner issues... Maybe someone will know the problem there as well. It's a 20" Trinitron from ~1993, and the 'Video' input works perfectly. When switched to the 'Tuner' input (from Video mode or from power off state), the display horizontally rolls bursts of static across the screen, with accompanying audio from the speakers. There doesn't seem to be any physical noise coming from the set that accompanies this - if the volume is muted there's only the distorted picture. This usually subsides within one hour of being in tuner mode, the perfect amount of time to miss the show you turned it on to watch. Also of note, the set could have been on for days on the Video input, but this does not diminish or circumvent the problem. Video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7P6SLoVM6A - there's no sound but I'm sure you can imagine it fine. I really wish I'd noticed this subforum sooner.

          ^ last time i saw that it was simply cold solder joints on the tuner module..
          also on a sony.. but idk what model that was.. looong time ago..

          that "clicking" sound is the flyback as kc said.
          i wouldn't force it to do that clicking (by turning it on and off more often than needed) unless you wanna end up with no monitor at all

          same reason why so many early CRT iMacs and eMacs died.. turning them into a useless block of plastic.. (and a heavy one at that)

          edit: my own iMac did the same thing, but as it's an all-in-one unit, it's really a painus in the anus..

          everytime the flyback arced, the powersupply for the CRT part completely turned off. not exactly a bad thing. problem was: the actual computer was still running fine.. you just couldn't see anything cause the CRT PSU shut off.

          sitting there, doing something (writing a text or whatever).. then suddenly the flyback arcs again, CRT PSU shuts off, and the only thing you could do was pull the plug and start all over again..
          happened to me quite a few times.. having a webradio stream playing typing something, CRT turns off and i ended up with an uncontrollable music-playing plastic box

            Yeah, the Sony has already had some issues with the solder - the yellow RCA connector on the input board was flaky for a long time. Had to completely remove the old solder to get it to work properly, the stuff that was there just wouldn't give a solid connection no matter how many times it was re-melted.

              what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
              by ChaosLegionnaire
              so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

              i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

              Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
              by LEECH666
              Good day ladies and gentleman!

              I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

              This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

              I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

              Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
              by Christos Tsiligiannis
              Hello to the forum.

              My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

              So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

              To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

              So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...
