I have the same problem with my Wega, not sure what causes it. Typically, if you turn it off, leave it off for like 15 seconds, then turn it back on it works fine.

It's the flyback transformer.

I can't remember if it's a bad sign or not though.

I have a really old 20" Zenith that does that constantly. Some one told me that it was a cold solder joint....... Got so damn annoying that I bought a new 27" WEGA.

I say if yours is still under warranty, get it replaced.

When I turn on my wega, it sounds like it's going to explode.
Is that normal?

I have the same problem w/ my 20" Trinitron Monitor. It started a few months ago but has slowly gone away. =)

It's not the flyback transformer. It's the horizontal oscillator and it's not a good sign.

Maybe an exorcism?:p

Seriously though, I haven't seen that problem before.

The same deal with my wega. But it happens once in a long while and it's low enough not to bother me.
