max power Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I have a 2004 Samsung 27" flatscreen widescreen 1080i CRT TV that isnt turning on and is making a high-pitched squeal when off. Quick internet research points to a bad color wheel, but I'm not sure what is wrong with it. Had a great picture and worked fine before it decided to poop.Free to a good or bad home for parts, repair or death squad target. Will not deliver (unless I'm coming to your place to shoot it) or hold for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exarch Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) B4 u get rid of it did u make sure to clean out the dust and check the circuit.breaker? Could just be a over heating issue, when they.over heat the circut pops and you just have.to switch it back on idk if thats ur problem, but its a 2min job and worth looking into. If it turns out to be a poped breaker flip the switch and get a can of compressed air and blow.it out, vacume workw too, so does paper towls or just anything to remove the dust(which causes the over heating.issue)Not sure if ur tv has a circut breaker, I know the newer ones do.

granda080 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I had to change the color wheel on my tv. It took me about 15 min. The part was cheap off eBay. Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't think its an overheating issue. It has a high pitch whine (like a dog whistle) when its not even on. When you press the on button, it doesn't turn on, but it tries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if.the tv.didnt.turn on could of been the breaker. But there is so.much crap that could go wrong on a tv its hard to pinpoint the exact problem every tike(took the repair guy 3 tries to figure out one of my mainboards were bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a DLP. What he described was my issue. That said laziness and general not caring has, and will, prevent me from researching it.
