starship_troopers Posted November 24, 2007 CID Share Posted November 24, 2007 lol guys its a bad sign when you have to turn your tv off when you hear a ultra high pitch whining and some other weird sounds coming from your tv right? mine is fading in and out with color and making sme pretty crazy sounds. one time the picture litterally went black and white and i had to unplug it cause the power button didnt turn it off....its a 25 inch crt magnavox...like 5 years old...used everyday...modestly.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted November 24, 2007 CID Share Posted November 24, 2007 Most likely the tube is gone bad. Yep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diehard Posted November 25, 2007 CID Share Posted November 25, 2007 The Buzzing / High pitch is most likley down to a Coil Resonating Get a TV engineer in he will be able to resolder it to the PCB and it should stop and If he is a Good one he should have a Degausing wand to sort out he tube but as Tommie has said there it is a chance that the Tube is on it way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
