I have a 32 inch jvc that is 4 years old it went black and is making loud zaping noises what is my problem and how do i fix it model number is av--32d305

You are likely to have developed a bad color wheel. Do a search on Ebay with your model number or Google the model number. This will give you a heads up if you get a TV tech to fix the set

Hello,

The pop noise you heard was as a result of the t-com board getting burnt.

Try to replace your t-com board and your television will be okay once again.

Take care

This problem is not just for Philips. I've found similar complaints online for JVC, and my Vizio 32" LCD has the same problem. In my case the TV is about 3 years old and has a lot of hours on it.

The street value would be 100-150 dollars. If TV is a cheap model or abused or very used, you should pay less.
Consider a Sony or a Toshiba in tube style since all are cheap now.

Turn off the closed capition

Worth taking it in since it is hard to find a new TV for less than $300. I have a 32 inch JVC iart that for about 2 years would turn itself off and the timer light would blink. Only thing that worked would be to disconnect and turn back on. Eventually, the tv "popped" I could smell something that burned out and within 3 weeks tv went "dead" Took it to a tv repair place and replaced power unit for $150. I had similar problem with a 19 inch Philips and that tv has been going strong for 4 years since repair.

Good Luck

From what you describe, a solder joint has probably cracked loose in a power supply or deflection circuit, which is quite common. Since you do sometimes see a good picture, all of your major components are fine. Repairing cracked solder joints is a very easy procedure and definately worth fixing on a 32 inch TV. The first 2 digits of the model number indicate the size of the TV.
