Model SK-26H240S, I am getting a "humming" sound from the tv.
When I bought this 2 years ago the one out of the box had this same problem. I immediatley returned for a new one. It has been fine for 2 years and this just began. I am curious if there are know problems or service bulletins on this model.
If I turn volume to 0 it goes away but when it is turned to 1 it begins. It does not get louder with the volume. I can drown it out by turning TV louder than we normally watch. At regular listnening volume 5-6 it is very noticable and annoying.
I have run cable direct to TV bypassing cable box and it is the same.
thanks in advance for any help

There are only 2 parts that could cause this problem.The main board and the power supply.I have not run into this problem yet so I can't tell you which one it is.You'l need to take it to the shop to find out.
