YES, THERE IS A SIMPLE RESOLUTION TO THIS ONE - DO NOT BUY THEIR BRAND OF TVS AGAIN!
No lie, after two years of their ignorance and negligence in handling my escalations, I said to **bleep** with it and tore the TV down as I couldnt stand the brain and ear hits anymore from the high pitched squealing emitting from the unit I had.. I had to basically threaten them with small claims before they'd even work with me on my warranty repair/replacement.. Then they refunded me partial amounts instead.. I was happy to get anything back from them at that point..
You will need to pursue a warranty or a different brand of electronics mate.. The defects are on their boards..
The issues have been discovered to be due and caused by faulty power boards/modules & loose capacitors. It seems that a few users have had success after changing out the power boards..
I used a heat tolerable rubber based adhesive, a chop-stick (as some lovely person highlighted prior) and I fused it around the capicator that was loose on my unit. However, the boards are still faulty and will need replacing - otherwise, they'll eventually give out and it wont power on at all..
You can tell if its a capacitor vs. power mod by changing your TVs picture settings.. If you notice the pitch changes while you're going through normal/vivid/etc., its the power board, if it does not change in pitch, its most likely a capacitor..
I cant wait for a class action to be filed and accepted on those fools.. While I wouldnt normally care over a dollar, I'm making it a point to signing up and sending in the forms to collect my $1.16 check.. They'll be $1.16 closer to bankruptcy in my view!
Im shocked that Roku is still permitting their (OnnTvs) junk to host their apps and be branded alongside them.. Its a shame & it lost both companies a high spending customer... my refund and what funds I got off the other 4 Onn-Roku units that I sold before they croaked went dime-for-dime on a new Anti-Onn-Roku unit and on firestick & android tv additions.. They'll Get me Nevaaaaaaaaaaa' Againnnnnnn ....
Anyway, Hope the board info helps you mate!
