I have an RCA Home Theater Premiere 60" rear-projection TV (probably 12 years old). After a thunderstorm, the TVv won't turn on and makes a beeping noise. I couldn't find a reset button on the back. I plan to leave it unplugged for a few days and try again. Is there anything else I can do to fix it?

A chirping sound from a TV set is the switch mode power supply trying to start up, but gets shut down because of a major short inside the set or in one of the circuits.. Most likly in this set, the horizontal output transistor is shorted because of a defective flyback transformer. Thats whats the common problem is with this set. A repair like this, if this is the only parts that are bad, will run you about 300 to 400 bucks or so. In some cases, not many but a few times, I have seen poor solder connections on L401 cause the horizontal output transistor to go bad. There are no user replacable parts inside this set, so please play it safe and seek out a pro to assist you in this repair. Good luck PS Please do not forget to rate this thread.

Shorted horizontial output transistor q14401 -I think- and bad flyback transformer(high voltage transformer).The noise is the power supply starting and shutting down very quickly because of the shorted transistor.Very common problem,but some of the flybacks are no longer available from RCA.Sometimes you can use generic but questionable life on some of these.

Your TV is overheating.. easiest remedy is to point a fan at the back of the TV or... clean the inside of the TV, Im sure its full of dust and stuff... this prevents air circulation inside the TV thus creating more heat...

It is the 169 chassis-over 300 different models used it and are different-answer something for me--does it have a GREEN power light that comes on for a second and goes off?

I know this set well and to be honest hated working on them--Let me know about the power light and I will tell you what I know.

At one point in time this was a very good set--I do understand about paying a lot to get it fixed and having it bad again.

I am here to help people and I bet I know more about this set than almost anyone else here.
