Question about Panasonic TH-42PA25U 42 in. HDTV Plasma Television

My Tv won't turn on...

When I turn the power on, it makes several clicking noises like it wants to turn on, but then I hear a few more than usual and it fails to turn on...Almost like it clicks itself off again. The red power light blinks twice then remains a solid red and repeats the blinks... I've tried unpluging and repluging everything... I doubt the repair will be cost effective...can someone pls advise how to fix this problem? Thanks!

The two blink code "could" mean a problem in the power supply. I believe a 3 blink code means the 3.3 Volt Supply Is bad on the power Board. I would price the new 42" LCD TV's vs repair costs before proceeding.

Tv wont turn on, and its making a clicking noise

That usually indicates that your power supply has gone bad. The clicking sound you hear is your power supply not getting enough current to turn on your screen. Could be a simple fix as a bad capacitor but not sure? If you can pin point that problem being your power supply, it is some times cheaper to just replace the power supply board but it depends how old your TV is and if the power supply unit is available.

When I turn steering wheel it makes a click,click,clicking noice

On most front wheel drive vehicles, the front axles have what's called a CV joint on each side. These will go bad, indicated by the clicking noise you hear. This is usually due to the protective boot being torn and allowing the grease to be compromised by dirt and grime. It will not get better. It can get worse until such a time as the bearings fail and lock up.
How long it will last is anyone's guess, depending on the driving conditions. But I've driven quite a few miles on one with the worst consequence being the clicking noise.
The axles are completely replaceable, and this is a common maintenance item on front-wheel drive vehicles like yours.
Now that they're clicking, don't try to just replace the boots themselves...the damage is most likely already done.

Has clicking noise on right pull wheel

Clicking noises from the drive wheel area usually means the gearbox on that side has a minor to a more severe issue. Call the place where you got the chair. I'm glad it's running and it could continue to run even with the clicking noise. It could be something as a loose hub nut on the wheel or something rubbing when you are making a turn.

HLP4663wx/xaa Fan or Color wheel making noise? I first noticed it within the last week making noise when turning the set off. Now it's continuous. Could hear it slowing down on power off, constant...

A fan like noise is 98% of the time the color wheel.

Wheel turns at over 12,000 rpm and common failure is "fan like sound or even grinding sound".

When these sets first came out if the high pitched sound started women who have better hearing in that range usually hear it first.

If wheel really fails it will shatter and set will not come on----a grinding sound may be noticed just before total failure.

Clicking noise when turning right

check your cv axles in the front end. they are basically your drive axles. the popping while turning is usually the outer boots on the axle shafts have torn and the grease inside the boots has ran out causing the shaft to be dry and click or pop when steering. usually you can replace the boot thats torn but it must be done within a few days of it tearing otherwise you will need to replace the axle shafts.

Sometimes won't turn over when i try it. 2003 cadillac cts

hi, when it dont turn over do you hear a clicking noise or is the engine turning over and just not starting.
If its the first and when you turn the key the starter motor dont turn the engine over allowing it to start you will usually hear a clicking noise and this is the selanoid inside the starter motor failing to make a connection.
If this is the case then all you need to do is get the starter motor replaced if you have any further comments or need further assistance then let me know ok

Hyundai L90D 19" LCD Black Screen and Clicking Noise

Hello sir, the click you hear usually comes from a relay, the little black/blue square thing on the power board, when the load of the power supply is normal the relay swith on the entire monitor. if it detects an imbalance load usually shorts on the monitor, it shut down the circuit. so check for shorted IC regulator or transistors/diodes. if you have schematic diagrams, you can test the resistance of every IC on the board by locating the VCC and ground pin. (easier said than done). you may need patience to do this. until you find the shorted part. the next step is to remove the part and find a replacement. Try also to check on the internet usually ebay for power board replacement for your TV. hope this helps. = )

Turn off itself and wont turn on. There is a noise, when you plug in. Click, click

Your description indicates that the power supply has failed; the noise you are hearing is probably caused by a relay that is interrupting the AC supply to avoid damaging the supply any further or causing a fire.
Disconnect your set from the wall and allow several hours (overnight is better) so that dangerous voltages have a chance to discharge. You will have to gain access to the lower section of your system to look for a separate board with larger components on it, some cylindrical (capacitors), some block-like (chokes and transformers). If you can locate this board, it should be user replaceable.

The next step would be to look for unique markings on that board looking like an assembly number. With that in hand and the model number of your set, look for the RCA service center in your area and call them to determine whether they have a repair or replacement assembly.
If only a replacement is available, keep the failed unit for possible repair in the future when the new one fails since mfrs. will not have entire assemblies available in a few years.
