Sony KDL 32EX520, the back panel circuits are making chirping noise. I get an electric shock when I try to touch the screws or the TV in/out connectivity(USB, HSMI etc) sockets

Whenever I switch on the powers to the LED TV. The Back panel circuits of the TV makes chirping noise similar to the one you hear when you stand under a High Voltage wire or near a transformer. Also when I try to touch the screws, USB, HDMI ports or the Video in/out ports, I can feel the AC current. This phenomenon has started all of a sudden. I suspected it to be an issue with the power sockets, so I tested it at other power sockets. The same issue. I have tried connecting other equipments to the same power sockets but they have no issues. The Electrician also checked the main power and confirmed that the sockets are properly grounded. The TV however works without any issue, but the LCD body emitting the current is freaking me out and making me apprehensive to use it in the first place. What do you think is the issue?

It is possible there is physical leakage from inside the set to the exposed metal on the set===a test from ground to the chassis should reveal this==we use a leakage tester for this which will measure even a tiny amount.

Testimonial: "Thanks, got a Sony Service Guy check the TV and he says it is a grounding problem as the TV comes with 2 pin plug and the electrical grounding in the house is not equal."

SOURCE: Tv makes clicking noise but won't turn on

Definitely a power supply problem.I had the same problem and changed the power supply, and TV works normally. Depending where you buy the unit, it shouls cost around $150/--, and it is very easy to replace.

SOURCE: Red power indicator light is blinking

The flashing light indicates a short circuit inside the power supply circuitry. This type of repair is not a DIY without a multimeter, desoldering iron and hand soldering skills. I repair these power supplies, if you need further info write to [email protected]

SOURCE: My Sony Bravia turns itself off Stand by red light blinks twice.

If you bought it brand new from a dealer, I would take it back or have them come out and look at it. Less than a month old, it is still under the 1 year MFG warranty or the very best a 30 day one.

sounds like either way your power board is bad- do you intend on replacing a component? I would look for Puffy caps- you know- leaking from the top-

Have a sony bravia kdl-52v4100 and a red line keeps popping up on right side. it will show for a bit than go away but will come back again???

It sounds that there is some loose contact in the connection wires inside it. Check all the flat cable connections for any loose contact. Re-seat them once, and check If you are not familiar with electronics, do not attempt to repair. Whether you suffer fatal electrical shock! Instead, contact the nearest service center.

How to change the power supply in a KDL-37XBR6

The repair / replacement procedure is not extremely difficult if you have some basic electrical safety knowledge and some basic electronics / mechanical repair skills.

You will need to unplug the power cord from the unit, lay the TV screen side down on something soft and flat like a bed if necessary, and then remove the rear access panel or the entire rear cover as required in order to access the circuit boards inside.

When you remove the rear cover and access the circuit boards inside, just check the part number that is printed right on your circuit board and confirm that it exactly matches the one provided in the online listing or the replacement part you have. Also make sure that any part you order is labelled "TESTED WORKING" in the condition description. Any part with a condition description of "AS IS" is probably faulty itself as well.

Then unclip and remove the various electrical wire connectors leading to the power supply circuit board. Then remove the screws securing the circuit board to the TV frame and then remove the power supply circuit board. Be sure to avoid touching any large capacitors on the circuit board which can retain a nasty charge even after the unit is unplugged.

Then just screw in the new circuit board and connect all the wire bundles to their appropriate connectors on the new circuit board and then replace the rear cover. Then plug in the power cord and test.

I can't tell from the manual if this particular model has the smaller removable access panel on the back or not. If it does, you will see a few screws around a removeable center section of the rear plastic enclosure. Just remove these screws and the smaller plastic panel should unhook and come off allowing you to access the main circuit boards inside.

Otherwise you will have to remove the entire rear plastic enclosure. This is not exceptionally difficult, it just means you will have to remove many more screws. There will likely be over a dozen small philips head screws all around the perimeter of the rear enclosure holding it to the TV frame. Depending on your setup it may be easier to lay the screen side down on a soft flat surface like a bed to do this, but most times this is not necessary. Just be sure not to press too much on the LCD display panel itself or allow it to get scratched / gouged / bent / poked / etc.

Here is a link to a picture of what a generic LCD TV looks like with the rear panel removed revealing the major circuit boards inside:

http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20090608/171435/?SS=imgview_e&FD=50422440&ad_q


And here is a link to an interesting Youtube video which shows an LCD TV being disassembled for spare parts harvesting:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCNEEuVhAWk&feature=related


Although unlike the video shows, you might want to use a manual hand screwdriver to remove the rear enclosure screws if you do this yourself for the first time.

Here also is a link to the SHOPJIMMY.COM parts supplier website which has all the available replacement parts (circuit boards) for your model of TV:

http://www.shopjimmy.com/sony-kdl-37xbr6


Just click on the appropriate part number under the POWER SUPPLY section to show a picture of the board as well as details and price. Unfortunately all those different power supply circuit boards appear to be currently OUT OF STOCK there, but you can probably find the one you need elsewhere online or on Ebay by searching for the exact part number listed on your particular circuit board.

Please comment back here to this page if you have any details to add, have any questions, have difficulty accessing the links, or just require further general assistance and I will respond as soon as I see it.

I hope that was helpful to you, good luck and take care.

Joe.

Buzzing/fizzing noise from back of sony flat screen tv

Below is an image of rear side of your TV, Sony KDL-40W5500
Top right corner is marked there and possible cause of noise seems back light inverter board, there are high voltage going to CCFL inside LCD panel and seems high voltage leakage causing that buzzing/ fuzzing noise.

Replace back light inverter board upon voltage leakage confirmation.
Thanks.

Complicated Question about repairing circuit board

Broken LCD panel does not affect circuit board behind that panel.
Make sure that other TV should be same model (KDL-40W4100) to swap boards / LCD panel because each model has its special designed boards and cannot be used in different model (if chassis is same, few boards can be used)
