When watching tv or a movie it will making a clicking noise every few minutes. Sounds like it does when it turns on or off, but it seems to be working fine, that clicking noise just bothers me.
Help.... I don't know what to do. TV is only a month old
Hello everyone,
I bought the model TH-50PX60U June of 2007. I've been hearing the very annoying clicking noise as well.
Since the TV has a one year warranty, I just called Panasonic and they've scheduled a tech to come over and take a look at it three days from now.
I will publish the results on the same page.
Ok the tech came and took the TV with him. He called me later on in the day and said he hasn't heard a single thing. I asked him to keep it another day.
Called next day and said the same thing. Ofcourse they provided me with a loaner plasma for the time being.
He brought the TV back the day after and told me the Panasonic tech support told him that it's the cable tuner that is trying to adjust itself to the signaling from the provider, and it's not a defect.
He also told me in order to insure that this is in fact that issue, to hook up a DVD and as soon as the clicking starts happening, to unplug the coax cable and start the DVD and listen to see if it still clicks.
Well I turned on a DVD yesterday and it still clicked. I'm almost 100% sure it's the frame that's expanding and making that annoying noise. The tech had told me if that is the case, they can install a felt kit in the screws to prevent that from happening.
One thing I noticed was that it makes less noise when the TV is on the ground. Mine is mounted on the wall and I had to take it down for the tech to take it. I turned it on when it was on the ground and it was making less noise...
I'm going to call the tech and ask him to come install a felt kit. I only have about a month left of the warranty.

I have the same problem with my Panasonic 50'' Plasma few months after I bought it.. Tehnicians took many times to fix it and the noise is still there
Same thing for me, just wondering if you had any update on what the service tech said.
Cheers
Same problem, very frustrating indeed.

I have the same problem on my Panasonic 50PX77U plasma which is only two months old.
The clicking occurs less frequently now but still happens aobut once every half hour. Very annoying.
Other forums suggest that this is a problem with expansion of the TV case. Panasonic will send out a tech with a felt kit to reduce the noise created by this expansion. Don't know yet if this is a real fix.
I have had the same problem, I actually returned the first tv I got and now the second does it as well. Panasonci 50inch 77 model
Same problem... very annoying. I hope there's a fix for it. Before searching Google, I thought it might be just because I have it mounted on the wall... but you guys seem to have the same problem. It's already clicked like 10 times since I started writing this. Darn it.
I had a simalir problem. Clicking sound happened on standby, I noticed this after many nights spent on the lounge. It now has a buzzing sound that I can hear over the normal volume I watch at. Its still under warranty but they can not fix it. Been to the service centre 4 times but buzzing returns mainly about 8 at night.
Dont buy a plasma from panasonic as the warranty means jack s**t!!!
If you have one and have no problems quick, sell it on ebay!
UNHAPPY!!!
