We have a Polaroid TV, Model FLM3732. When we turn the TV on, there is a loud pitching noise that lasts for 3-5 minutes, and then goes off and runs normally. Is there anything we can do to trouble shoot?

The high pitch you are hearing is probably due to failing electrolytic capacitors in the power supply module. Eventually this will no longer function. A tell tale sign would be swollen caps "tops are convex" on this pc board usually 1000mf 25 v caps or simular. I would refer to competent tech for repair of module to component level.
