About Henry A. McKelvey Expertise I have worked in the Electronics field for 25 years, and have been a Telecommunications Expert for 20 years. My Expertise has been in: Video, Audio, RF, Television, and Stereo. I have been in the Television repair business for 25 years and have repaired over 20,000 Televisions in that time. I was a manager of an Information Technology Training Team at The Verizon Advanced Services Group Center, and a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Verizon Laboratories. I am now working full time in the TV repair industry until I can find another full time job, I know what your question is: "why don't you just work full time in the TV repair industry permanently?" Well the answer to that is simple, due to the complexity and the DIY craze, TV repair work is at best a good way to make extra money, not to rely on it for your livelihood. A sad truth, but a truth nonetheless.
Experience 25 years as an Electronics Repair Technician, 20 years as a Telecommunications Expert, and I love Electronics.

Question Model - DSL-17D3. After maybe 10 mins of my tv being on it makes a pop sound and automaticaly turns itself off - it will work maybe 10 mins later but will eventually pop and turn itself off again - i am not sure if this fault is the box attached to the plug wire or the 3tv itself - i dont know where or how i can get this fixed.
Answer Hello Alistair,
This sounds like a power supply problem which is quite common in LCD and Plasma TVs, due to heat stress on some of the components. I can only give you an educated guess about the problem, however I would like to have you find a TV repair shop in your area to take the TV to for examination, because this type of problem is easily repaired by someone with the proper tools and skill in using them. What I would do, is to contact Daewoo's main office via the phone or Internet and ask them for the location of a service center in your area.
