TV screeches at me!

we had the same problem with I Philips TV almost from new, the engineer
came out (still in warranty) and rubbed some Vaseline on it, that cured
it instantly,
he said it was because it was hot and dry and a bit of lube will sort it
out, it has been perfect for the last 5 years.

Rubbing flammable petroleum jelly on the anything inside a television
would be highly dangerous.
It must have been something else he used.

KY Jelly?

On the EHT nipple?

TVs don't have knobs anymore?

Another question for you experts here.

My daughter has a 20-year old Samsung 14" TV, model CI-338GA. Even
after all this time it still produces a crisp picture, and isn't ready
for scrapping yet.

But recently, after about 20 minutes from switch-on, the region around
the LOPT has started to emit a very loud high-pitched screeching noise,
making it impossible to continue viewing.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful hints on what to do to kill the
screech. I thought about using Vaseline, but then decided this may be a
bit risky. I have now finally made it to Maplins to get some silicone
grease PTFE, sprayed it liberally around the whole of the EHT area, and
bingo! Success! Looks like the TV is good for another 20 years.
