Loud humming or high pitch buzzing noise coming from my rca dlp tv 50 inch

High pitch buzzing occurs after tv has been on for an hour or so. Noise periodically happens for about 3-4 seconds and then stops. It happens every 20-30 seconds or so. Then sometimes I can cut my tv on and I never hear the buzzing noise when watching it. Noise was not heard until now. Purchase tv about 1 year ago and noise was not there. This is the only problem I get. Picture is fine.

    High pitch sound coming from the T.V.; I have a surge protector and didn't installed anything new to the house. All of a sudden this sound pop-up.

  • jrobinson35 May 28, 2008

    I think the humming sound is coming from interference with something electrical around your tv or in your home. Try moving your tv somewhere different in the room and try to keep other electical items away from it.

    I have this problem but it isn't high pitched, just loud enough to bother me and I know it is there. It doesn't happen all the time and the tv doesn't even need to be on, only plugged in. I have it on a power strip and turn it off when not in use. This started shortly after I had my cable installed. I don't have a convertor box, so nothing new electronically has been added.

I have a very high pitched sound and when I move the tv it will stop for a second or two and then start again. The sound sometimes stops all together. But very high pitch sound.

The problem is the dust that has hit the fans. The light and color wheel. In short DLP runs hot and if you have dust forget it! if you have ever sat in a presentation the projector is DLP. You can try to clean it out but there is not much you can do. I have a 61 inch RCA and it drives me nuts.

Hi folks solved this problem by A) investing in a good UPS/surge/line conditioner from APC and B) try not to suck power!

    Sounds suspiciously like some voltage leak at the HV circuit. Does it happen more when you have high humidity?
    If you are fortunate it just needs blowing out.
    Be aware of very high voltage in there, even months after you have unplugged it, I am not kidding. They can kill you.

If its a DLP with a high pitched or even fan like sound it is the color wheel--Mitsubishi does not sell them as a part---you would have to replace the entire light engine (expensive and may not be available any more on a older set) .

I have Samsung DLP TV 50 inch HL-P5063W

First thing to look at is the color wheel this model uses--usually it will make a high pitched fan like sound but can make a grinding sound also.

If it slows down from the 12,000 or so RPM speed it will cause color issues.

Loud buzzing noise on vizio tv

It sound like you may have sound processor problem which is part of the main board, I would also look at the 12vdc from power supply to make sure it is clean DC.

When my rca 36F530 tv is plugged in it makes a high pitched buzzing noise picture does not come on

There is a short circuit in the high voltage circuit. the transformer who helps to create the high voltage or his power transistor is damage. replacement needed. the repair is not expensive, because the parts are average repair. Ask for an estimate.
