The TV beeps
Nowadays there are televisions in almost every home. And users can often have various problems with these devices that are familiar to everyone. In most cases, you can determine the cause of the problem yourself and even try to carry out the repair yourself, so as not to contact professionals who will charge a lot of money for their services. But if you don't have relevant experience, you shouldn't do it.
One of these problems can be the squeaking of the TV. What does this mean and what actions can you take on your own?

Features of the malfunction
First, you need to decide on the type of malfunction - not only the cause, but also its further elimination depends on this. Let's look at the most common options when the TV beeps.
The TV is constantly beeping
Most often, this problem is encountered by owners of a new, newly purchased device. The sound may resemble a constant squeak or be more like a whistle. In this case, a manufacturing defect is likely.
IMPORTANT! If there is a defect, you can go to the store, where you will either get your money back or replace the TV with another one.But then you shouldn’t try to do anything yourself - you may incorrectly determine the cause, and subsequently choose the wrong way to eliminate it, which will lead to a more serious breakdown. In this case, the store may refuse to refund the money, arguing that the malfunction arose due to your own actions.
TV receiver beeps after switching on
Here, too, the possibility of a defect cannot be excluded, but a squeak may also appear due to long-term use of the device. Perhaps the reason lies in the presence of a fault in the power supply. Over time, the sound will only get stronger, so you should not ignore the problem.
ATTENTION! It may happen that the contacts of the capacitors of the BC (power supply) have come off, oxidized, and so on.
TV beeps and won't turn on
If the device does not turn on at all, but only makes an incomprehensible sound, then the problem, again, is with the power supply. But another part of the device may also break down. It is important to carry out high-quality diagnostics of the TV and identify all sources of problems.
The kinescope makes a squeak
Owners of older TV models often encounter this kind of sound. In this case, the insulation of the cable through which the kinescope is powered may be damaged. Another option is a poor fit of the kinescope itself to the suction cup.
What to do if the TV beeps
It is best to immediately call a technician who will carefully inspect the TV and identify the exact cause of the breakdown. Having carried out repairs, it will save you from having to do anything yourself.
If you are sure that you can correct the situation with your own hands, then you should take any action based on the cause of the sound. Thus, careful soldering and fastening of individual elements may be required, which, if not tightly adjacent to each other, can emit a squeak or whistle. This is the easiest repair method that does not require special skills or experience.
Other possible options could be repairing the power supply or line scan, which is important for CRT TVs. If you know the structure of these elements and their operating principle, then self-repair can be very successful.
Now you know why the TV may squeak or make other whistling, unpleasant sounds and what to do if such a problem occurs.
