I to have a sound problem with the W3201''
I too have a sound problem witn the W3201C 32 inc LCD TV. My set is a mere 2 years old. the sound pulses when turned on, however after about 20 mins or so wih the sound muted, the sound does clear up - how long this fix will work is anybodies guess and when that fix goes, what then. I have phoned Dell and they told me they no longer make either this TV or the parts to repair it. I REALLY dont think we should silently put up with this
shoddy workmanship, If Dell refuses to replace these defective TV's, which were certainly not cheap - I for one am seeking legal counsel

I bought two sets at the same time and the sound has gone out on both,  So far no luck with Dell or a soloution.  The post on attaching a surround system sounds like a good idea, but I can't get this to work.  With a little feed back I'll create a site to log how many have this problem, a few can be understood, but from what I'm reading the sets were defective when shipped and Dell must know of the problem,

There is no headphone jack onthis model that I have found.

Try pressing "LAST" on the remote control, this works on mine, although I suffered no sound within months of buying mine!
This fix works for me every day, its a pain, but it works for me.

Help, I have a Dell Television that has no sound, do you have a solution?

dear friend i know a laddy that has a dell w4201c and the screen is bad,so she is triying to sell all the boards but i don't know the price yet,i'll look into that and let you know,do not be surprise with the price because you are looking for a hard piece to find!!

Try putting your mute button on for about 20 mins or so and the problem may clear up. This solution has worked for me for a few days now.

Make sure that the set is in the proper mode. There are Air and Cable settings.

Its the power supply!!
well i migrated to this issue from having no sound and video with just the power button illuminated. I replaced the power supply with one from an online salvage store and it worked fine for about two hours and then it shut off, turned it back on and then twenty minutes later off again...repeat... need an electronics person to trouble shoot and trace which resistors and or capacitors are overloading.
anyone??

Have the same model and same problem
probably It is a bad inverter board, in my case one of the 16 transformers is burnt out on the inverter board. still trying to find a replacement component. if not replacing the board is the only option or getting the inverter board repaired.

by the way, this TV has a Samsung panel: model LTA320W2-L03. so it needs parts for a Samsong not a DELL.
DELL does not manufacture or fix them becuase they don't make them

I had the same problem!
This TV does not go down to a 480 resolution! If I know that, I would of never bought this TV. I cant use my VHS, PS2, Nintendo (Original). So now I'm trying to save money to get a 120Hz HDTV :P

after what incident the sound stopped /

Check the obvious. cable, signal (using another tv in the same place), reset to factory default.

if not...

The DELL W3201C has a small tuner box inside, maybe this box if faulty

Audio appears to be via a jack https://www.google.com/search?q=dell+1209s+projector+no+audio+output ..

We only speak English on this North American website. Use the original system discs and do an Over the Top reinstall. Or SFC (System File Checker.) The battery icon will be in Settings somewhere. ..

Question edited to correct the written English. The internal battery has failed and need replacing. They don't like being left for a long time with no power. https://www.google.com/search?q=Brookstone+HDMI+890574+replacement+battery ..

I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your Hanspree SC24LMUB monitor. There could be several reasons why it's not connecting to your Dell laptop. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Make sure that the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the monitor and the laptop.
2. Check that the HDMI port on the laptop and the monitor are not damaged.
3. Try a different HDMI cable to see if the issue is with the cable itself.
4. Check the display settings on your laptop to make sure the laptop is set to extend the display to the external monitor.
5. Restart your laptop and monitor to see if that resolves the issue.

If these steps don't help, it's possible that there could be an issue with the monitor or the laptop itself. In that case, you may need to contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
