High pitched noise. If unplugged for a few hours it will go away but comes back after about 45 minutes
In this model the horizontal drive coil vibrates and makes a high pitch squeal. Most times it is intermitent. Touching on the coil with something (non electrical, like wood) will make it stop or change it's pitch. The fix my shop uses: It's not to technical, but, we put fingernail polish around the coil. It's a remedy I've used for decades and has always worked. Some shops use a hot glue gun. With the back open you can hear the coil to locate it. When fixing the problem have the set unplugged. When a technician is working on a television while it's plugged in. He uses only one hand and stays away from the high voltage.

Thanks a lot. This problem has occured in most of these models. If you call customer service at the Samsung Service Department, they will tell you they never heard of the problem. The fingernail polish solution does work for about 8 months then you'll have to redo it. But it definitely will work. Thank you very much!
