popping noise: Does anyone get a popping noise several minutes or more after the TV is turned off?

I don't own the set but I would imagine it's the capacitors inside it that are discharging electricity. My Toshiba LCD does this after I turn it off every time. Anyway, I've read about this a little and I would presume it's okay, unless it's truly excessive.

Does the TV make a clicking sound also? You may want to look in the back first and see if there are any capacitors with cracked tops. If so, this will likely work.

It must have been fixed. Mine will stay on as long as sound is passing through it. I've even fallen asleep with the TV on, and it didn't shut off. It will shut off if what you are watching is paused for a while, which it shouldsince there is no ssound playing.

I have not had that occur. I wish I could tell you more about what is causing that noise. It might have done so, but I had mine installed by a professional and I was not there for the testing. I have not had a power failure so it has not had to kick in either, so I haven't heard it in operation.

I'm really interested in hearing what you found. We just got a new Samsung TV and it has the same problem.

Did you experience this crackling when you turned the TV on too? I have a Samsung 4671 and it crackles when I turn it on and off. I actually returned the first TV and the second TV crackles more, which makes me think it may not be the power supply. However, what did you have to do to remedy the problem?

I have this and I hate the loud popping sound. I have just learned to deal with it until tonight. I loosened the 4 screws that hold the cooling plate on and I have yet to hear a loud bang!

Ours made the same noises and I just turned to off and then back on again. Now it seems to be ok.

I have the same issue with my two-week old 42B450, as well. The plastic bezel makes faint crackling noises as the unit warms up (lasts for about 30 minutes). It is definitely the plastic bezel since I can duplicate the sound by pressing the bezel along the top edge of the TV. Another Amazon post said that they had the same issue and so they returned the TV for replacement and the second one did not make the sounds. Am curious if the Samsung rep mentioned above actually has a fix for the problem.Except for this issue, the TV is excellent in every way.

I own a Samsung HTL56 DLP model and I'm having problems with noises coming from the TV. It sounds like cracking and poping and it happens when it's on but it's really bad when it's turned off. It sounds like its going to explode. Anyone else have this problem? Can anyone tell me what may cause this? It's only 2 years old. Thanks

Do the lights show that the bar "thinks" it's off? (ie, it really does turn off). There are some wires connecting this to your audio source - if you disconnect them, does that cause any change? (also, as with any electronics, you might try unplugging, wait 20 seconds, then replug in). I can't think of a good reason for such a noise other than the unit dying, but these things might prove it.

i would put in a new lamp some time my tv would come on and go off but mine would make pop then go off.

No,not any problems except every once and a while there is no sound from my tv, I press the on off button on the box and sound comes on instantly, I use the box on two tvs,a new Panasonic and an older Sylvania tv. Both work fine.IC/11/2013

Hi Kevin, I have experienced this noise. I bought it brand new and returned and exchanged it and the second television did this as well. You can read my comment on the comments page. Did you resolve this problem? CJ

We have not had that issue. But, sounds like you have had it happen on a few different systems which seems really odd. I was thinking it was the A/V cables are not in properly or the tv needs to be turned to a different input. Hope that helps!

Have not had that problem. Our TV is in the basement and isn't used a whole lot though - no issues as of yet. I suppose time will tell...
