TV turns on & off by itself

The TV, keeps turning on & off by itself.. I can hear a clicking inside.. Kind of sounds like 2 wires are hitting, so I took off the back, & had a look.. It kept doing it.. I tried to trace the sound.. Sounded like it cam off of the electronic board that attatches to the end of the tube.. But no 2 wires were touching each other.. The sound is like, if you touck +/- speaker wires together.. just a zap,or a click then the sound doesn't come out.. Any easy solutions?

You can check the board where the components are mounted and resolder any that look bad. a brief power outages may cause the TV to turn off on its own. If you are using a surge protector, try connecting the set directly to the wall outlet. In your case it could caused by a blown fuse, a leaky diodes or a bad solder joint at the horizontal drive transformer. all can be replaced at a local electronic or hardware store and they're easy to replace If this does not correct the problem, you may need to have your TV serviced.

My mother's tv has horizontal lines when turning it on. Once warned up the lines go away. Can this be repaired?

Can you hear some type of cracking sound from backside of TV when it is turned ON? If yes then these lines are due to leakage of high voltage current from FBT wire that goes into picture tube. This can be repaired. All you need to do is open the TV cabinet and keep it in sunlight (inside facing to sunlight) for sometime so that all moisture is gone. Make sure that TV is not exposed to moisture to further stop this problem. If this is not the case and you don't hear any sound then its some kind of SMPS related problem which can be repaired too. For this you need to contact a qualified technician.

Got issues with some kind of background noise that suddenly shows up after some minutes of use... Its some kind of a buzzing sound, that appear once a while and stays there until i turn the sound off.

There are a few things that can cause this kind of sound through your speakers. First off, your cable wire. If it's not attached to the subwoofer, remove it and try a different cable. It could be that a piece of the wiring inside the cable has been damaged. If this doesn't help, your next bet would be to check the sound card inside the computer. Try plugging in a different pair of speakers or some headphones. If you still hear the buzzing sound your sound card needs to be repaired or replaced. Finally, you could have some electrical interference caused by certain devices like a cell phone or your TV. Try turning the devices off and see if the buzzing sound is still being heard.

Will not come on it only a clicking sound from part no. 0mron 0584H3

I had the same problem with my tv, same make and model. I first continuously turn on and off my tv manually until I could get some kind of picture. This procedure took maybe five minutes. I was able to get a fine picture and sound, as if it was brand new! Other things to keep in mind, try to eliminate dust build up as much as possible.. Hope this helps out...

52" plasma tv - turns on - and I hear something reset inside

i hear a clicking noise- the clicking noise is most likely you ballast trying to power the lamp, but failing. this may indicate a defective ballast if you have recenty purchased a new lamp.I recomend you have your lamp tested to help narrow down the cause of the defect. It's highly unlikely for a new lamp to be dead on arrival
