GE 32GT740 wont turn on

2 weeks short of 5 years our TV only clicks when the power button is used. Everything was good up to now. Is there a 5 year button that needs to be pushed?

January 23, 2009 - This TV is 5 years old. I have the same problem, I turn the TV on, all I hear is a clicking noise. The screen stays black. It worked great until today.

Same problem. TV is about 7 years old. It just shut off and started making clicking sounds. Oh well, good excuse to get a new flat screen I guess, since it is analog anyways.

My ge television just turned off. when I try to turn it back on it just clicks like four times!!!

These sets are famous for problems in the horizontal/high voltage circuit. Loose connections, bad high voltage transformers and shorted horizontal output transistors. If the picture was still good it is probably worth having it checked out. Thanks

GE 32GT740 32" TV problem

there are two things that can cause this, 1 there is a muting transistor on the bottom of the PCB that is a surface mount transistor that goes short. this is the channel mute transistor. when you change channels it is designed to mute the static between channel changes. if it shorts then it mutes. 2 the EE-PROM is defective and needs to be replaced. i'de go with the transistor first. if you are unequipped to do this repair have a tech do it.

Ge 32gt740

The GE (actually RCA) 32GT740 uses the CTC203 series chassis. The most common problem in that chassis is a coil connected to the base of the horizontal output transistor comes loose, and the set may run sometimes and then it will shut off by itself. If you keep trying to run the set with the solder joints cracked on that coil then the horizontal output transistor will short out and the power supply will squeel when plugged in. Do not plug the set in if it squeels as this could eventually cause major problems in the power supply. The set needs a new horizontal output transistor and a good resoldering of the drive coil, drive transformer and all related parts. If you do not have experience in unsoldering and soldering electronic components in TV's then have a qualified tech handle it for you.
