Does your TV make a “whining, whirling, clicking, or humming noise?” If you have the infamous blinking lights problem and you’ve replaced your lamp without success, it’s most likely a problem with your color wheel.
The Samsung color wheels spin anywhere from 6,000 to 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPMs)–It is one of the few consumable parts in your Samsung TV. The average life expectancy from our datalogging shows the Samsung color wheels are fairly reliable with a MEAN average of 5-8 years, compared to the trouble prone RCA color wheels which on average last only 3-5 years!
The following pictures are from Samsung’s latest color wheel, utilitized in the HLS and select-available HLT Series DLPs. The following TV’s are known to be compatible with it. If you’re color wheel looks the same, let us know and we’ll update this list!

Color Wheel replacement question:
Does anyone know if this humming/ spinning symptoms are the same with the Samsung HL-P5085W series? I have that same situation where I’ve just replaced the lamp for the 1st time since Sept 2004. The lamp worked pretty good for about 2 weeks but now the set won’t go on upon start up…giving a spinning/humming noise with the SMILIE symbol trying to stay on, but fails and returns to the Defective Lamp symbol. I can on some occasion get the set to go on, only if I unplug the TV a number of hours and start cold…not from the stand-by mode.
Any advise?
