TV Noise

I have got a Matsui TV (link:

which I picked up from currys a while back. It has this strange noise though. When the screen shows White or bright colours it gives out a high pitched noise, but is silent for black. Is this a fault?

It could be a loose ferrite core in the line O/P transformer or possibly the line driver transformer, the PSU chopper transformer can also be a suspect.

Opinions vary on what to use but I've found superglue usually does the trick - or if "a while back" means so recent there's still a warranty, take it back and complain.

quite common. not usually a fault. often a blob of superglue on the coil cores near the line stage stops the singing! or a gentle tap on the case of the set.
