DGFV338 Whistle
Hi. My DGFV338 has started whistling. No particular tune but it is high pitched and loud enough to be heard. Any solutions as to what to do? Or do I wave it goodbye? Thanks.
Hi LookLeft,
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Is your DGFV338 still working fine even though it started whistling?
b. Have you tried to reboot your DGFV338 then observe if the whistling will stop?
c. What is the behavior of the LED lights of the DGFV338?
d. Have tried to reset the DGFV338 back to its factory default settings then reconfigure it from scratch and observe if it stops whistling?

Thanks.
a. Yes, working fine.
b. Yes, still whistling.
c. LED's working as expected.
d. Not yet.
I am pretty sure it is like a transformer whistle, something vibrating.
I just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to try to reset the DGFV338 back to its factory default settings then reconfigure it from scratch? If yes and still same problem, then its a hardware fault on the device. You will need to replace it.
