Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Appreciate the direct "Ask Me". I actually replied to your other post
here. Pls find below proposed diagnosis.
Initially, if you have confirmed that
the source of the buzzing sound is from inside the TV, then that would
indicate a component about to fail or would need attention. Let us try
process of elimination:
- tuner - most unlikely, the tuner is responsible
for selecting the channel. No component/part of the tuner could make
such a mechanical buzzing sound;
- speaker(s) - most unlikely, the speaker could have a buzz but generally would not affect the video nor cause snow (weak TV signals);
- transformer - a strong possibility although
without knowing the exact model, at most generic ideas; power
transformer, flyback transformer, horizontal drive transformer (unlikely);
- arcing - another strong possibility. This could
be caused by damp, dusty surroundings of the components especially at
the FBT area. Another area that could have adverse effect when
dusty/damp would be the anode cap.
This of course would
require a fair familiarity of electronic components/circuitry and
safety procedures, use of a DVM and a soldering iron. It would be to
your added advantage access to a service manual or at the very least a
schematic diagram with voltage readings. Should you be uncomfortable
performing a
DIY (
do-it-yourself), perhaps your best bet would then be to seek the services of a qualified professional.
Just
a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional
information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.
