RCA TV Crackles and shuts off
I have an RCA 52 inch TV (D52W19BYX2) that shut off this morning. It started a few months ago with some crackling sounds and eventually the TV would turn off. It would come back on after a minute or so and either do it again or just be fine. It did this for about 2 months and then has been fine for the last 2 months or so. Today, however, it started making very loud crackling noises and shut off. We could turn it back on, but it would go off immediately. Then it started smelling hot. My husband could see a blue arc inside the back side of the TV. Does anyone know what's located in that area? Any clues as to what's wrong or what it should cost us? This thing is only 2 years old. I contacted RCA and Thomson and go nowhere. "Customer Service" is foreign to them!!! :mad: All they can ever tell me is to unplug the TV and that they've never heard of my problem. I can't be the only one.
