Question about Toshiba 42DPC85 42 in. EDTV-Ready Plasma Television

42dpc85 My tv recently started making a clicking or pecking noise. Its coming from the back of the tv and looking at the back, its near the top of the unit and slightly right of center. Any idea as to what this noise is and what can be done to make it stop? It does not appear to have affected anything else, still have picture and sound.

You have to repair this ASAP, otherwise the next step is going to be black spots here and there and then a black screen with sound. It happened to us and the TV guy said it was only an annoying noise and nothing else. When the TV started getting black spots everywhere we checked with another TV guy and he said that bcs we didn't repair the clicking sound in time, the consecuence was the black spots we are getting now. Of course Toshiba won't do anything so they lost our business too.

You have a cap on the powersupply going bad. it can be replaced but you will have to take the back of the unit apart to find out witch one it is. look for one that is swelling at the top.

Yes It could be the timing belt because as your car ages and the belt gets worn it starts to stretch. If your timing belt stretches enough your car will come out of time and that will cause a peck or knock. Another thing that you may look into if you have not had a tune up recently is spark plugs and wires. If you have worn plugs or wires it can also cause this to happen on occasion. I hope this helps you out.

When I attempt to start my 89 jeep cherokee, it only makes a clicking noise, near the starter relay. Then occasionally it will try to turn over, but makes a grinding noise near the starter.

try to jump start it if it starts its the battery,if it doesnt than it time to remove the starter and go have it tested,while its out look for any worn teeth on the flywheel and starter solenoid teeth also.if starter comes back ok then look at all the cables,look for corrosion as it can hide under the wire sheilding.

My tv turns off by itself and makes a clicking noise

Most likely it has some bad capacitors in the power supply. Flat--panel sets are VERY hard on capacitors, due to the fact that the "rising heat' from the set "cooks" the caps and they fail VERY early.

Open Questions:

What is causing my tv to randomly produce fuzziness, but is only highly visible in the dark colors on the screen? When I am watching anything on the screen, the TV will sometimes go fuzzy. This happens randomly, but is only really visible on the dark colors. Most of the time I can turn the unit off and wait a few minutes and turn it back on. This more than often clears the snowy-fuzz. When this action works, it will sometimes happen again, and sometimes it doesn't make a difference. One can still watch the shows, it is just is less sharp and the fuzz is irritating. Any ideas?? Thanks for your assistance.
