Loud cracking sound, and now, nothing

Last evening, my DLP (bought in January 2006) made a loud snap/pop noise, and the picture went out. Turning the set on now results in the error lights coming on after about 10 seconds of no picture. I have not been able to contact anyone about this issue (weekend, no one's open), and want to know if this could be the lamp before I order one.

found out the problem. lamp RUPTURED, which was the big noise. blew it to hell lol. Got a factory lamp off ebay, now everything works and i'm just going to be paranoid for a few weeks.
n8boss87 Nov 04, 2007

it was the lamp. The cracking sound was something I had not heard of, since most pages discuss color fading before a lamp goes out, not just a BOOM. but a couple extra hours scouring the net I found it. nosamsguy is right on in his assessment, especially the hopefully part. I'm going to be paranoid for a few weeks of operation. thanks!

Hopefully its only the lamp. Inspect lamp for breakage. Lamp power supply ok??. Check any air vents (filters if any) before replacing. Lamp life is only a few thousand hours, easy to do in a year, 5-6hrs a day. Check your manual.

I have replaced a few lamps. If the lamp ps was some of the snap, crackle, pop you heard then your new bulb wouldn't have even started. Don't WORRY as long as the vents are clean. Enjoy your DLP!

Makes loud noise

It sounds like one of your CV (constant-velocity) joints is going bad. This is common on front wheel drive vehicles. The CV joint allows the drive axle to pivot as you turn the wheels. Over time the protective boots crack, the grease leaks out and you end up with the knocking noise you describe when turning while accelerating. The dealership should easily be able to inspect the CV joint boot and diagnose the CV joint.

Last night our TV made a loud popping noise then the picture went out. We still have sound but have trouble turning the TV off. What could this be and is it fixable? Thanks, Anne Marie Orcutt

Hi,
Question shows it is Vizio L32 lcd tv and symptom shows back light inverter board for defective for some reason and loud noise would be popping of any chip on inverter board.
Shopjimmy..com has replacement boards of that model on reasonable price and local tv repairman will replace defective board after checking/ testing the tv.
Hope these info will help.
Thanks.

LG plasma tv made loud popping noise

The plasma gas tubes may be damaged or the gas couldve leak out. remember plasma have to remain upright at all times even when transporting them, if they are not you should just set it up straight for about 3-4 hours before turning it on.

Tv went out after loud pop and has clicking noise does not turn on

If you have a Sony DLP, then the loud pop you heard is your lamp. The lamps last approx. 4K-6K viewing hours. Read your manual for replacement part number to reorder and very simple to replace yourself.

Tv went pop

All you can do is get it repaired or replace. Take the receipt (if you still have it) to the retailer you bought it from and ask about it. Alternative, phone Samsung (number is probably in the instruction manual that came with the TV, or look on their website) and ask if they can do anything about it.

LG 50px10 loud noise & then color and image quality loss.

call 877-543-8325 this is an LG Executive call center and they will fix this for free. I have a 50" plasma I bought january 2006 which is out of warranty by 5 months. They faxed me and the LG repair shop a 30 day warranty for my tv to cover the repair. Just tell them you heard a pop and in my case the picture is distorted. All they need is the model number and serial number and they should take care of it. No arguing needed.
