Loud whinning, high pitch noise coming from TV when turned on.

We have an RCA HDTV, Model .... HD50LPW42YX2.....when you turn it on it whines, screams whatever you want to call it. We have clear picture and sound, but the noise just goes on an on. Is this the capacitor?

I have a Philips hdtv model # 39PFL2608/F7, it worked fine one afternoon and then when I tried to turn it on that night there was no picture, no sound, no light on the front only a high pitch whinning

Most whining sets have a problem in the power supply. A transistor under abnormal load or frequency can whine. I would turn it off, and if you are not inclined to fix such stuff, haul it to a shop. If inclined, search for a service manual, or remove the back and find the board with the power cord socket, get the numbers and search ebay and the web for a replacement board. You can also search for hints using the model number.
The whine is not good, and will eat the transistor if left in that condition. Most bad capacitors will bulge at the top when failed and you can replace with low ESR capacitors 105C rated of the same volts/farads/dimension and maybe fix the supply yourself.

Making high pitch whine or squeeling

Check the color wheel and any fans running on the unit. The color wheels make a high pitch whin right before they quit as well as the cooling fans.

High pitched whine/sometimes TV won't turn on

The power supply on this model will whine when it is shorted or overloaded - the set would have to be brought in to determine exact cause.

WHINING SOUND

More likely it is the color wheel this set uses---it is located inside the optical engine---part number for it:

267888This part is no longer available from RCA but is available on several sites on the internet (google the part number)

The wheel will when going bad sometimes make a fan like noise or even a high pitched whine.

Check out the sites on the net that sell this for price and decide if you want to attempt to replace it or if you have to have a shop do it for you.

Let me know if you have any questions or need advice.

REGARDS, SD TECH

D52w23 rca makes an awful loud high pitched whine

This is a coil, now a NOISY coil.. It is a common problem, and happens often. The whine is caused by current passing thru the copper windings and making them vibrate! A commonly accepted repair for this situation is to squirt some regular old super glue into the copper windings and let it harden for a few minutes..Viola! no more whine!

RCA F32650 production May 2003. Was working fine. Turned it on the next day, got no picture and a high pitched whining noise.  Please let me know what I should do to fix it.

If it weren't for the high pitch whining noise. I would say it probably is an internal fuse inside the chasis. It is rated at 1.5 to 2.0 amps. With the whining noise it sounds like a trouble shooting bench
job. Problems occur when a electrical/electronics device is turned on and turned off. Inrush voltage,
when it is turned on, can go up to three times more than normal. This also happens at turn off. Solid state components usually fail at this time. I don't feel that this is a problem that can be fixed in the home.---BBB

I have an RCA model #HD50LPW62AYX2 hdtv/dlp rear-projection set. The picture went out, and we thought it might be the bulb, so replaced it. The picture still will not come on, and there is a loud...

The color wheel can make a whinning sound for sure, However it should not continue to whine after shutting it off. That sounds more like the fan used to cool the lamp, as that will continue to run after the set is shut off. How soon does the whinning start when you push power? Let me know I should be able to help you out. DLPs are my specialty
