ADVENT HT2461A My TV started making a loud Static sound every time I turned it on, really loud, then I could smell burning and see sparks through the side of the TV near where the Cord comes in. How difficult is it to replace the Flyback Transformer. This TV has to weigh 400 pounds so getting it to a repair shop is almost impossible and the Flyback cost 9 bucks. Thre is no power to it now, and it has sat unplugged for 3 months. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    My Advent 1080i HDTV-ready montor worked fine till last night. This morning I smelled something burning and I had to rush home when my people heard sparks coming from the TV. I could see the sparks from the side of the TV and it refuses to come on. It may have even affected my dishNetwork HD receiver, as that one would not stay on too.

It seems it's one of those "vintage" sets. I don't imagine that the problem is very major since such (older) sets are known to develop bad joints, especially around the larger components (funny, sounds just like a problem that humans have). It might not be necessary to replace the LOPT. Just resolder as many joints as you can see. Usually the ones reponsible for arcing will leave visible signs of burn. The acrid smell you detected was probably ozone (given off when high voltage ionizes oxygen in the air). Good luck, if you haven't already solved the problem.

Samsung vcu366 making loud noise but picks up

what does the really loud noise sound like? Is it a loud, whining sound? if so, the motor may be getting ready to go out. Also check that the belt isn't stuck-though you would smell burning rubber if that were the case.

I have a 2005 chevrolet equinox the other day it started making this really loud sound like loud static coming from the speakers and the radio was off and you could smell wires burning can anyone help me

Yee gads! this issue sounds like something is shorted to ground, most anything of that type would broadcast into the radio.

Locate, immediately, the source of the burning wire smell. this issue is a serious FIRE HAZZARD. Do not let up until you find it. Burning wire smell, presuming that is what is happening, often results in major car fire... Find the burning wires and you will have your answer.

ProScan PS32500 32"-Picture has white static line & Static/burning smell

It sounds like the circuit board is arching over somewhere. It could be as simply as cleaning and digging out the carbon mark to stop the arching. This is most likely the screen or focus voltage causing this, if there are no parts that have broken down. This will damage the printed circuit board and make things worse the more you let this cook. This could be dangerous for you to mess with because of the high voltage present, so my best advise would be to get this into the repair shop as soon as possible before this board burns up. It should not cost all that much if the CRT board can be repaired. Good Luck
