Teac 32" HD LCD TV Buzzing Sound - Repair Help Can't Post

I have a Teac 32" HD LCD TV and it recently stopped working. I sent it to a repairer and I was quoted more than the cost of a replacement. Unfortunately I can't afford to buy a new one at the moment, so I decided to try to repair it myself. I know that there is some risk in repairing a TV without experience, but I have a technical aptitude and I am taking every precaution.

After a lot of research and reading, I changed some of the capacitors on the Power Board. I made certain that I purchased capacitors with the same ratings as the one that I replaced. I could not change all of them because the shop that I purchased them from did not have some of the capacitors that I needed. The picture below shows the capacitors that I did not change.

The TV now turns on and I get a picture, but it has developed a loud buzzing or humming sound. The picture quality also seems to be affected. The sound is so loud that you can hear it from the next room. The picture below also shows where I believe the sound is coming from.

Can someone please identify that part for me?

Also, I would like some expert opinion on what course of action I should take.

Should I:
a) Change the remaining capacitors OR
b) Change the noisy component OR
c) Any other recommendations.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thank You :)

Hello RevOsis!
Teac 32" isn't much of information, but I assume its a LCDV3253HD or equivalent for about 940 USD.
To answer your first question: The "yellow insulated (red marked)" part is a current limiting choke (transformer type) for the power supply's primary stage.
The new generation of switching power supply's come with a stepped up voltage in the time of startup - Therefore they took 450V - type elko's instead of the former used 400V types, which can be found in satellite receivers or other AV stuff.
I don't think that T3001 is faulty - It's rather one of the two high voltage film capacitors (C3004/C3003). You can try to replace those two to get rid of the humming, or how you said, buzzing noise.

The bad performance of picture and sound may have other reasons. Did you make sure you really baught the equal type of elko's for the three secondary stages. They must be 105°C low ESR types.

The second thing I recognized at looking at you uploaded picture, was, that some components leads are used as throughplating connections. That means that their leads connect the upper side and the lower side of the pcb tracks via solder bridges (jumps). I assume it's the same with some of the elko's. Make sure that they' re soldered on both pcb - sides where they need to be.
Take a hot soldering iron (80 Watts or above) an close the holes, where the elko's normally placed fully with solder. Cut off the leads of them to a length of about 7mm's. Hold them close to the pcb's positions and warm up one solder point - Than quickly push the first lead into it's position - Do the same with the other pole (lead).
After that leave a space between pcb an capacitor so that the solder can cover up also the top side of the pcb. Then solder the backside (solder side) of the pcb as usual.
In most of the cases it's not necessary to reolace the primary elko's (150µF/450V) unless the supply doesn't loose it's strength, which means that secondary voltages break down without visible reason. Try to connect the power supply for 2 minutes to the mains and than switch it off. Connect a common bulb to the leads of one of the big elko's. If there is still a voltage remaining after switchoff, that causes the bulb to burn, they need not to be replaced - Their capacitance hasn't been gone.
In the case that everything is working correctly now - perfect! - If there is also low performance present take a look at the photo couplers for a possible fault.
Good Luck!

Hi tscheucher,

Thank you so much for your reply. The Model number is actually Teac LCHD3240. I did not see the pic that you referred to in your post. Could you please repost the pics.

Thanks.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for all your help. I replaced the film capacitors that you recommended but the loud humming sound is still present.

The sound does not start immediately when the TV is switched on. There is a delay of a few seconds, and when the picture appears on the screen, the loud humming sound starts.

I still believe that the sound is coming from the transformer that I circle in the first post.

Do you have any other recommendations?

I appreciate all your help.

Thanks.
