Sony Bravia 40 inch makes a popping noise between

Hello,
There are 2 small 1.5" fans that are located on the top right and left sides of the screen. These fans are of the non ball bearing type, so the bearings may be wearing out. You can either replace the fan or add a couple drops of oil to it. Remove the label on the back of the fan and put the oil there, it should quiet down. This will work for a while but eventually the fan will need to be replaced.
Good Luck!

Hi... If it is a power board problem it is most likely capacitors that fail. Look for any electrolytic capacitors that are bulging on top. They are normally round with an aluminium top with a cross marked in the metal. They fail over time if they are low quality or high ESR with high transient voltages.

Make sure that you replace them with same or higher voltage ratings but with the same capacitance.

If you do buy them for stock in your repair shop look for high quality low ESR variety that will not a cause comebacks.

Hope this helps!

I have a Sony Bravia 46'' TV. I bought a Universal WiFi Adapter from Walmart a few years ago for about $50. You have to plug it into the Ethernet port on the Bravia using an Ethernet cable (the other end of the Ethernet cable goes into the Ethernet port on the adapter). The adapter needs also a power outlet. I do not remember if the adapter came with the Ethernet cable (likely) or I had to buy it separately.

Before buying the adapter make sure that:

1. Your Bravia has an Ethernet port (on my Bravia it is in the back of the TV), and
2. You have/use a wireless router for your home network.

Hope this helps.

i have a 40" model aas well - the only way to turn it off i have found is to restore to factory settings and set the tv up again.

Yes
Hold 4 7 2 Buttons When volume is set

Try going in the settings and turning off "Steady sound". Or turn the audio setting to stereo, disable surround sound.

Steady Sound
You don't have to listen to commercials at a higher volume than the normal programming. This TV has a volume equalization feature for both program and commercials to enhance your audio entertainment.

what model of Sony is it? On many of the Sony projectors, a 3 flash error code indicates the lamp is not properly seated/installed or the lamp door is not closed properly

Also I have a Sony Bravia and it clicks while it is on as well. I read that forum and some people said to disconnect the cable box for 10 sec. and then some said it was the heat from the summer.. i don't know.. I just turned my tv off and then back on and it stoped. I read this is happening with all kinds of TVs....

Our Sony (almost new) is experiencing sound problems. The sound go off and on about every 10 seconds. Cords appear correctly connected. It sounds as if its coming from the television.
Can you help with this problem?
Thanks,

Mike

Each time our TV starts the snapping sound we reboot the cable box. Problem solved.
