Hi, has anyone come across this before and is it a known issue? Its the actual hard power switch on the side of the set which triggers the noise and I've been told it only happens sometimes when switched on from being off for a while. When it happens my relatives switch it off quick but cycling it does get it to go away eventually and the TV works from then on.
Having heard the noise in person it does sound like arcing/popping and obviously this is a bit of a fire risk so I plan on fixing it but just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this before.
The red standby light does come on whilst its making this noise but we've not tried to turn it on during the sparking in-case the extra load trips whenever is making the noise over the edge. I guess it could be the power switch still as the standby supply is probably low power and tolerant to fluctuations in supply voltage.
I've not had the back off yet so can't rule out anything else at this stage (cracked solder joints etc).
tl;dr I suspect the hard power switch on a Toshiba REGZA 42AV635D is arcing, has anyone heard of this problem before?
Thanks.
