I would suspect either the High voltage distribution block and/or the high voltage transformer as being at the root of your problem, especially with the HOT transistor being bad. If this set went out during a power surge/lightening storm however, all bets are off.

My he2t kenmore front load washing machine won't power on and there's a clicking noise
Vicki, i think that clicking sound is ok when you press start. TRY THIS.
1. close door securely 2. press power after putting detergent.3 After making your selction for different levels eg hot,warm cold, press START.
usually these buttons are pretty reliable, GL

TSSU4812 refregirator making clicking sound and not cooling
Without a compressor analizer you will need to check the winding
resistance. or you can just cross your fingers and hope the relay
and start capacitor are the problem. Sounds like the condenser coil was plugged so you could possibly have a locked up compresor.I doubt it is low on refrigerant charge.

Turn it on yesterday and i can hear a clicking noise for approx 5 secs then the standby light comes on and no picture. any advice, or reccomened repair
1st POSSIBILITY.....usually after 4 or 5 yrs EHT ( transformer that supplies voltage to tube ) becomes weak - then TV won't get ON.. means no picture no sound ( in some TVs ''garrrr'' like sound comes - that sound is from EHT.... but it is rare....some times ''click click'' sound comes...it is from relay switch ) ..... but LED blinks - in some TVs along with EHT 1 or 2 components like resistor, transistors, etc will also gets deffective ................ 2nd POSSIBILITY - main capacitor (very big in size) is blowing off...................... - so solution is TV circuit board has to be checked to find whether only EHT is deffective or other components are also deffective - price of EHT will be between Rs.250 (US$ 5) to Rs.600 ( US$ 12) & price of capacitor will be between Rs.50 ( US$ 1) to Rs.150 ( US$ 3) ..........iam from bangalore.....i have no idea about component's price & service charge in your area.....this problem cannot be solved by user unless user is a technical person having idea about components (resistors, transistors,diodes,...etc..), having multimeter , soldering iron & other tools...so my suggestion call TV service engineer or contact panasonic service centre

Hi. This is an all too often occurrence. The TV's manufactured in the earlt to mid 1990s relied on an inferior set of capacitors in the power supply and mainboard components. They should have lasted about 25 to 30 years, but most are only lasting 5 or 6. The cheap capacitors pop, like a small balloon, or an overheated radiator, the capacitors contain an electrolyte gel, and this gel swells when induced with a charge. The cheap capacitors can split down the sides, boil over, or even pop the top off of them. If you look at the circuitry, you will see them standing up like small buttons, most with 3 wires coming out of the bouuton of them. Look to see if they have exploded like a battery, if, not, then your entire power supply is likely at fault.

Won't power up; push power button on, hear click in back left of unti, get nothing on front display and no output from speakers; as if unit trying to operate
Disconnect the speakers and see what happens. Carefully examine the speaker cables for unwanted connections (shorts).
Take a clue from when the power problem appeared. Something was moved and made the buzz a (probable) dead short.

GE Rear Projection TV Color Alignment We have a major problem with our TV! Some days it shoes more blue than the rest, some days more red then the rest. But everyday its blurry as all get up! We have tried the converence thing in the front settings of the TV. But that doesnt help no matter how we align the lines. We have opened the back to find a 6 screw panel on the right which works great at some time but eventually goes back to what it was, sometimes the very next time we turn the TV on again. We also recently found a 10 oxegon shaped screw panel which we just started to mess with even though there is no labels to it. All I can tell is one of them will adjust the vertical alignment of the screen. Now what is wrong with our TV & how can we fix this on our own! We arent in any shape to buy a new TV & we are willing to do it ourselves if we can! Before we lose our eyesight trying to watch TV!

TV will not change channels I have had this 46" GE for about 12 years; great picture and sound. Recently it started having this unusual problem. It will not change channels. I first noticed it while turning on the DVD and you could hear the DVD playing while the tv remained on whatever channel it had been on (from the DISH tuner). While running some tests I noticed that no matter what channel I selected for the TV, ( 7 required for my Zenith VCR/DVD combo) the DISH feed remains on screen. If I entered channel 99, the tv doesn't recognize it and the picture remains on whatever channel the Dish receiver is set for. I have no idea where my manual is, but I think it's a problem with the tv's tuner. It will not allow the DVD/VCR to capture the tv screen. Electronically, it gives indications that the DVD/VCR isn't connected, but physically it is. Would love to hear from anyone who has experienced this or anything similar to it.
