Sounds like the capacitor that goes bad just before the hIgh Voltage transformer goues bad. If i were you I would call an authorized RCA repair Shope and see if this is going to cause more damage to your set in the future.

Toshiba HD ready TV ct 90158 makes high pitched sound

A high pitch sound can be a capacitor losing power it would sound a bit like a fire work. most have back up on the board but it put more pressure on them the more times you use the tv. would check them and replace. all of them can be 5 in a row in some models.

My sansui tv makes a loud high pitch noise. I have had it 3 years, it is a a riging noise, and hard to hear the tv shows. what do i do?

ever since for ever, ive always heard a loudish high pitched ring from analog tv's. e.g. i would know a tv was on in another room even if it was muted. ive told other people about it but they dont seem to hear what i hear. so im gonna geuss either

a. analog tv's all make that noise to a verying degree but most people just dont notice it or subconciously cancle it out as normal.

b. its a kind of hyper sensitivity to high pitched noise, in essence, tinitus.

on a final note, its not medical as i always pass my hearing tests. but to answer your question, either buy a digital tv or turn up the volume.

CTR Television will not power up

What has happened is that the horizontal output transistor has shorted. The squeal you hear is the power supply running under a heavy load. The picture narrowing or being distorted indicate that the horizontal output was not operating clean. Something in the output section was not as it should be. Possible short in the output transformer/tripler unit or something loading down the secondary voltages generated by the horizontal output. You will need a tech to figure this out....If you are not a tech, then this ones a goner as far as fix it at home goes.....If you are a tech I might be able to talk you through the repair. Have someone remove the horizontal output transistor and I bet the squeal goes away.

Weird noise over everything

According to the Samsung website: "The high pitched sound you hear is probably coming from the flyback transformer. The flyback transformer converts the relatively low voltage electricity that comes from the outlet in your home to the high voltage electricity needed to drive the cathode ray tube in your TV. It is not unusual for a flyback transformer to buzz softly when it operates. However, if the sound is loud and high pitched, it probably means the transformer is failing. To eliminate the sound, you will have to get your TV serviced."
