When we try to turn on the tv, it chirps and shuts off

Did you try unplugging the TV? Also if that does not work then call the TV provider and ask them for help.

The power supply in these sets will chirp if there is a short on the secondary side. I would start with the horizontal output transistor. It is really hard to say because everything in the set is run off of this power supply. It would be best to have a technician check this out for you. Thanks for using fixya.

You could have a bad HV Transformer causing it to shut down.

bad lamp

Hello hoggsnob,

This problem denotes the startup sircuit trying to turn on and the shutdown circuit trying to shut the TV off, the result is a on-off switching of relay circuits which causes the chirrping sound. The cuase of this issue is usually the convergence ICs have shorted or the Horizontal Output Transistor has malfunctioned (shorted). I would suggest checking the HOT first and then the convergence ICs.

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

try replacing CP150 on the deflection board

Rainman, can`t really be of any great help on this one, both techs can be right, the chirp is exactly as you thought, the set is trying to come on but there is a short in the set and it`s shutting down because of the short, could be convergence, low voltage power supply, high voltage power supply, until a tech gets in there and starts un-loading circuits it`s impossible to say where the short is, gonna have to call someone out for this one, good luck with it, BMW Rider

again a good set the deflection modules on these sets are pretty reasonable you need to have a tech swap it but i highly suggest that than a new one the chirping is the set trying to start up but going into shut down

Most of the time, when there is a chirping comming from a TV set, there is a short somewhere inside the TV set. That chirping noise is the TV's power supply starting up and shutting down because of a heavy load on the power supply. These sets have no user replaceable parts inside them, so play it safe, and call out a pro to assist you in this repair. good Luck PS Please do not forget to rate this thread.
