ok, finally got my TV working. Posting it here for others who might use this info. As i said earlier, i changed lamp, color wheel and even ballast but same problem continued. Discount-merchant tech support guys were very good (one named Angel helped me out). They offered to test all my parts for fre...

hi, I replaced the lamp and color wheel on my HLS5086W, it still does not turn on. Before i replaced the color wheel, i was getting some light screeching sound which led to beleive that it could be color wheel. After brand new color wheel, the sound continues. It is not fan, i checked those. It make...

Maybe you are trying too hard. I was just about to start ordering a new lamp, ballast, etc. Then I tried this- I had the same issue. Started yesterday, and after approx. 12 hours of online research and trial and error, I finally fixed it with ZERO cost. First of all, I knew my bulb wasn't out becau...

About the lamp: That's weird, I've never heard about a stuck lamp... Did you have problems to slide this lamp in? Did you remove the screw completely? In that case, is the screw in one piece? Maybe it got broken and you have a little piece inside. In most Samsung models the screw doesn't come out c...

thanks NEhelp.. couple of questions,
- do i have to take the color wheel out completely to check, or can i slide the main board out (which i did) and still view the wheel from outside?
- Any ideas about my other issue of not being able to pull out the lamp?

spent a hour on the phone with DM tech. he could not figure out either why the lamp is not coming out. I spend 160 bucks on new lamp, the problem still exists and the new lamp is stuck!!!!!!!!!! this is really frustrating
please someone give me any suggestions..
