When I turn the tv on, it sounds like static electricity coming from the back.

TV worked fine and then it suddenly started making little popping sounds that sound like static electricity from the back. Everything works fine otherwise but I'm afraid to leave the TV on, in case it is arcing. ?? Nothing has been spilled on the TV either.

Check its final anode connection for arcing. You have to replace the final anode rubber boot, if arcing is here. Seek tech support. This is a dangerous work, for an un-experienced one.

SOURCE: Tv won't turn on

Most likly it is a problem in the power supply regulator circuit. pretty common for Toshiba TV sets. If you know about TV serviceing, first thing to replace would be the regulator IC as that is the problem 80% of the time. if that does not help then you will need a schematic to trace out the regulator circuit. Good Luck PS please dont forget to rate this thread.

SOURCE: Magnavox / Phillips wont turn on and makes a squeaky sound

The sqeaky sound is arcing in the line timebase, or switch mode power supply, which also doubles up as the power supply for various voltages. You must get a service engineer to look at this as it will only get worse and cost more for repair if you continue to switch it on.

SOURCE: Audio has a lot of static

You can possibly diagnose the problem by trying a different speaker,it does not have to be the same shape as the original but it has to have the same amount of resistance (ohms),radio shack might have one that you can try or one from a broken radio ,if you use one with different value it might not sound as loud but we are trying to see if you hear the static or is gone.You need to unplug the unit from the wall,remove the back cover and locate the speaker,disconect the wires and reconect the one to try then plug the set and turn it on,the antenna will need to be reconected too.Is the most simple test you can do without getting in too deep.Let Us know how it goes by a way of a new question or if you need more information.

Luxor 0143001 - no power?

If your Luxor 0143001 TV was working fine and suddenly made a popping sound and stopped working, it is likely that there was a power surge or some other electrical issue that caused damage to the TV's internal components.
Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the power source: Make sure the power outlet that the TV was plugged into is working. You can test this by plugging in another device and seeing if it powers on.
  2. Check the power cable: Make sure the power cable is securely plugged into the TV and the power outlet. If the cable is loose, try unplugging it and plugging it back in to ensure a secure connection.
  3. Check the fuse: If the TV is still not turning on, there may be a blown fuse inside the TV. You will need to open the TV and check the fuse. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, it is best to take the TV to a qualified technician.
  4. Check for other damage: If the TV made a popping sound, there may be other damage to the internal components. You may need to take the TV to a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is possible that the TV's internal components have been damaged beyond repair

Popping sounds only during video/ you tube on tv from my computer.

Because of the amount of voltage required to run the older-style "tube" televisions, many problems, sounds and noises occur in tube televisions than in the newer, flat-panel televisions. Sounds occur for multiple reasons, with some being just part of the normal process these televisions run through in order to operate. On the other hand, some of these noises may indicate a problem with the television that could warrant repair.


Worn Insulation
Voltage against metal. Inside your television's tube, there are many wire parts that electricity runs through in order to make the television run. Usually, these parts are insulated with a rubber or foam casing that prevent the sound of the electricity. If the insulation surrounding these components is thin, weak, worn or absent, you are bound to hear buzzing, popping and cracking sounds coming from your television. While this may not mean you have to run out tomorrow and get a new one, the chances are that your TV's tube is working extra hard to make it all happen for you, and you may want to start pricing new sets for the near future. b> Static During Warm-Up b> Just like rubbing your feet on a thinly-carpeted floor can cause static electricity, the same can also build up inside your television. If the noise is relatively subtle, only occurring when you first turn it on, and not overly-disturbing, the chances are that the cracking and popping sounds you are hearing are just the television's way of warming up and getting rid of the unnecessary electricity. Bad Lamp b> Deep inside the heart of your tube television, there is a light-bulb fixture that makes the entire unit light up so that you can see a picture. If the cracking and popping sounds you are hearing tend to go along with the picture on the TV becoming unclear, it could be that the picture tube is failing. It is very difficult and costly to replace the picture tube on a tube TV, so this is an instance where you may benefit more from buying a new television than taking the old one in for repair. Hope this helps.

42'' lcd turns on no picture/menu

Your tv is being attacked by electrical surges which seem very violent and has already damaged some logic controls. Please invest in a AC filter which will protect your tv from such spikes....... but first you need to get your tv serviced from the electrical damaged it has already suffered.

32 RCA makes popping sounds

It needs a new FLY BACK transformer. That is what you are looking at. The origionals are not made for the set any longer but insist on having a generic on installed by a local TV shop. I just put one into a RCA 31" and it works nice. Don't throw away the TV. Get it fixed. MAKE SURE YOU INSIST THEY USE THE GENERIC ONE! THEY DO WORK!
