Mine makes a small noise, too, when I push down the corners. I don't think anything is "cracking," per se; I think there's just a small amount of flex in the screen/circuit board assembly, and it's moving slightly in the more-rigid back case. I think the only way to avoid that would have been to glue the screen solidly into the back case, which would have made it completely unrepairable. (I'm not sure that it can be repaired as it is, but a bead of glue around the whole screen would certainly have foreclosed any such possibility.)

Is it possible the side has panel has come loose? I think mine is doing the same thing.

Yes you should be cautious. It cracked my bezel and broke it off. I returned it and went with a more expensive high quality case.

I have been having the same problem along with many others. The touch screen on mine even broke and cannot be used at all anymore. It happened after the warrenty ran out so if you are having problems with it and you can still return it I would do so.

I have the same issue with my two-week old 42B450, as well. The plastic bezel makes faint crackling noises as the unit warms up (lasts for about 30 minutes). It is definitely the plastic bezel since I can duplicate the sound by pressing the bezel along the top edge of the TV. Another Amazon post said that they had the same issue and so they returned the TV for replacement and the second one did not make the sounds. Am curious if the Samsung rep mentioned above actually has a fix for the problem.Except for this issue, the TV is excellent in every way.

Mine is cracked also. It was not very good at protecting the iPad but now it is worst. Would not recommend this production if protection of your unit is a concern.

Did not happen to me, but my gut would say you did not put on the case properly. My first instinct would be to take it apart, then make sure your external slider matches up with the mute/ lock button, then put it back on carefully. If that does not do it probably send it back as it may be a faulty case. (make sure ipad is not faulty as well).

hi mine started acting up like that and I removed the battery and reinstalled it and it was fine . or if your battery gets low it will act up also .

Well this happened to me after about a year. It helps if you use it often. When it does it all you have to do is give the tv a light smack on the back and it usually fixes it for me

It sounds like there is a prob with the pixels.. i would return it, and get a replacement.

That is not normal, never happened on mine. Try and exchange it for another one asap.

Had the same problem. Could not fix it at a reasonable cost. Sold it for parts and bought a samsung tablet

I have some similiar experience with the tv. the problem that you are experiencing sounds just like mine. in my case, i suspect the cracking sound is from the left side rear when you are facing the tv. there is a difuser like ventilation outlet on my tv. it sound did like there is excessive amount of heat coming out or something that cause the plastic in that general area to generate a cracking sound. Is this what you are experiencing? have you called samsung and if they provide any resolution to the matter?

Hmmmm.. I'm not sure why that is happening. Sounds like an issue with the iPad and not the case. The materials do not make contact with the power buttons. I hope it gets fixed.

I also got cracks in corners. What to do? Enjoy your life- this is just a case. And leave a bad bad review))

It may only be the charger. The charger is pretty common on a lot of models. If you know a friend or someone, get them to plug their's into your tablet. If it falls out then it probably the insert where you plug it in gone bad. I had two of these models and one completely locked up. The other one is doing fine. If another charger plug in falls out then yes it is the tablet. Not sure if it would be worth fixing because of the cost.
