HLN5065w whining noise on power up
Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2009 2:18 am
Need some help with this one as I've already searched this forum without any luck.
History: The TV turned off in the middle of watching a program a few days ago and has not turned back on.
Problem: Upon restart it goes through the normal power-up stages but then 5-10 seconds later with the lamp light still flashing, it starts making a whining noise from the center-back of the base of the tv.
I've replaced the lamp with housing, checked the lamp cover lock switch and verified that the fans on the right-back side are working as expected but the lamp never tries to turn on.
It sounds as if a motor is trying to start and then goes to the electric high-pitched whining sound.
The tv stays in this mode for 5 more seconds, then recycles the power and starts this sequence again.
Any help is appreciated.
