Re: HD61LPW52 no lamp or color wheel power

from everything i read, the color wheel should spin up even with the lamp removed (make sure you have something holding down the lamp door switch or nothing will happen :). 321v might be ok, another user reported 324 or so on their 50"... You won't really be able to test the power coming out o...

Re: rca m50wh92syx1 question about bulbs not lasti

if you had an arc, you're lucky it still works - better to use a lightbulb with some wires to slowly drain big caps like that -- anyways, it's possible that the arc re solidified a bad solder joint or something or perhaps you just had a loose/bad connection between the ps and the ballast, or the ba...

Re: rca m50wh92syx1 question about bulbs not lasti

i think the voltage going to the bulb will blow out an average multimeter when it's firing the bulb -- 15,000v. I won't pretend to be an electrical engineer, but knowing i was dealing with that kind of voltage was enough for me to bring mine in for a check up. lol I just tried using my multimeter a...
