Hey guys.. my TV is kind of acting up.. its about 2 or 3 years old... Samsung 27"...
its kind of hard to explain, but here goes.. it randomly makes a high pitched noise.. and its NOT the flyback transformer.. it has to do with the plastic housing.. if i put my hand on the case and push, or, sometimes, if i put a piece of cardboard or something underneath the back edge, the high pitched whine goes away.. sometimes i can tap on the side or top and it goes away.. i just want to know what causes this and maybe then i can fix it.. i've worked on tv's before (took 3 years of electronics classes in HS.. fixed a few with my teacher as a project) but i just dont know what could cause this.. any ideas? It seems to start whining when a color change happens.. then sometimes it will stop with another color change.. usually when a lot of white is on the screen. maybe its a coincidence but it seems like they are connected...
also.. if there is a lot of white in the top corners.. they will turn yellow / green sometimes.. kinda like if you are playing a game or something.. i know this is unrelated but what causes this?
thanks guys..
