I have this same model and we bought it used from a pawn shop for $50. It had the same problem with the white dots so we knew it was a gamble. The problem it something that is a manufacture mistake and Samsung sent a repairmen out and fixed the problem for us for free. All we were out was a $20 dollar tip to the repair men (that was optional). It works great now. We had no warranty they covered it as a recall problem. Just call Samsung support, I hope this didn’t come too late for some of you.

I have had this TV since 06. It’s been fantastic, never one single issue. The lamp finally went with approximately 5000-6000 hours on it give or take. Looking for a new lamp now:) Would but it again for sure.

Have had my 46″ DLP since December of 2006 and have had the lamp replaced 3 times. Also, if I turn the tv off, it won’t go on again unless it’s been longer then 30 minutes or so. Christmas Eve it shut off again with all three lights blinking. I am so tired of this. Repairman came today and is taking tv into shop to give it a good looking over. He can’t believe all the problems in just three years. I won’t buy one of these again…..

Will the “DMD CHIP” replacement clear the big dipper issue?

Debbie,
It is most likely your DMD chip causing your big dipper issue. Your DMD chip houses millions of micro mirrors which, tilt back and fourth very quickly and reflect the light on to your TV screen. If it is broken it will cause spots to be missing the color in certain areas.

I am having the same problem, save TV – looks like the big dipper. Apparently from what I’ve been reading it’s the “mirror assembly”. Haven’t called service yet, still investigating.

Did you replace the bulb yourself? How hard was it? Did you have to order the bulb or did a local store carry it?
