Chirping noise My tv was working fine and then I turned it off. My husband came home from work,(about an hour later) turned on the tv, and there was no sound, no picture, just a chirping noise coming from inside. We tried a hard reset,(unplugging for 4 hours) that didn't work. Then we left it unplugged overnight, tried turning it on the next morning and just got the same thing..Any clue what could've happened and maybe an estimate of the repair cost??Or can we fix it ourself? The tv is approx. 5 years old. Thanks for any info!

Sounds like something may be shorted out inside keeping the power supply loaded enough it wont start, dont recommend trying to fix unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing, there are some high voltages inside, I wold Call a TV tech out to repair, Just FYI, these sets from Phillips/MAG usually have CRT fluid getting cloudy causing discoloration/fog to pix around this age and older, between both repairs, some sets start around $1000, just an idea.

Based on what you described I would say your TV has the "shrinking and expanding" fault. Its a common problem on that model and the symptoms can range from the video shrinking and expanding or no video or no audio....You can read more about this fix on the site www.TvRepairKits.com

No picture, no sound, just chirping noise coming from back

NO - - signal did nothing to the set... Sounds like a shorted HOT (horizontal output transistor) and the feedback your hearing (chirp) is on the horz. transformer as it tries repeatedly to startup... Don't allow it to do that for too long...

No power just a chirping noise.

Chirping means the power supply is being loaded down by a short in most cases, likely a bad convergance IC

PT-43LC14 No Picture, chirping sound when turned on

Most of the time, when there is a chirping comming from a TV set, there is a short somewhere inside the TV set. That chirping noise is the TV's power supply starting up and shutting down because of a heavy load on the power supply. These sets have no user replaceable parts inside them, so play it safe, and call out a pro to assist you in this repair. good Luck PS Please do not forget to rate this thread.
