Thanks for your concise instructions with excellent pictures to go along. My pea size brain couldn’t figure out how to pull the metal lamp enclosure apart until I found your website. Popping the pull handle off did the trick! Picture is now much brighter. Thanks again!

Hi
I just bought a samsung 42″ DLP TV, used…the previous owner said that the lamp was replaced 6 months ago, but who knows.
I am experiencing the following:
1) when first the TV is turned on, green “LAMP” light flashes, then it goes away.
2) when watching TV or movies, the screen goes darker than usual and it takes a few minutes before brightening again.

I have a similar problem as posted Feb 2009. I just replaced the color wheel on my Samsung P6163W DLP TV and have similar issue you described. Certain shadowed pictures have a strange look. Described as “Now certain skintones come out as purple or shadowed. this tends to happen when the face is in a shadow. Most every color looks great.” It almost has a negative or oily look. Has anyone had and fixed this problem?

My HLP4663WX/XAA picture just stopped. There was a row of green up and down lines in the top left corner of the tv – about 1/3 of the way over. The lines were about 3-4inches long. This lasted for several days. Then the tv started to work.
My remote for my cable box would not work. I went to turn the box before calling the cable company, and the entire tv went out. It says AV1 in top left corner, No signal in the center of the tv. I have a new remote from the cable company. Working with the cable company, everything is connected where it should be. Is there something wrong with my tv or is it in their cable box? I could not reprogram the tv to play directly with the cable skipping the black box. The cable directly to the tv still hows No Signal. I do not have my owner’s manual. What could the problem be. Cable company is coming by in 2 days.

Where is the lamp timer on a Samsung HLP5085W DLP TV? And how do I reset it?

Make sure the back cover is closed and that you’ve seated the lamp properly.

Have a Samsung DLP HL-S5087W that is really dim. However, there is a tapered strip on the far right that is brighter than the rest of the screen. The brigher strip is triangle shaped, and is about 2″ at the top and goes all the way down to the bottom. Weird that it is not straight up and down. No noise at all on the unit. I replaced the bulb, but that only made the bright strip even brighter. If this is a light pipe issue, what “buzz word” should I use with Samsung techs?
