GF, I do appreciate the efforts. With winter setting in I may disassemble the unit and see if I can bolt through the boss and the base plate to firmly hold the color wheel in place. That could be an interesting challenge. If the assembly is not available - it may be time to start looking at one of t...

Looks like a couple of posts may have been removed since our last comms. I'll attempt to post a low resolution picture of the damages. I am not sure if this is repairable at this point looking for opinions and replacement parts now - if possible. Still getting the, Sorry, the board attachment quota ...

Folks It has been a while since posting. I had been hoping for better results. The bad news is I found a broken mount on the Bakelite structure that supports the color wheel assembly. Not too sure if there is a fix, or a replacement. I have attempted to reattach the broken mount with a high temperat...

Grayfox Well we do hope for good things! But I may have been just a tad premature. I have not searched yet - you may be able to send me into the correct stream. Everything did looks just great when I was using the PC as the input on the bench emails and such. Now that I have the system connect to DV...

MikeL65 Thanks for the efforts. Sorry to hear you had to wait so long, and me missing out on a part. I have a feeling it would have been a challenge to "make ends meet." Some pun intended. GrayFox It has been a while to get back to this project. Well - after a couple of trys I got all the darkness o...

Wow That does seem like it might be a less than desirable design. Do you fully remove the light tunnel and re-install, or just kind of push the light tunnel around in the slot? Or is that an adjustment screw on the far end of the light tunnel slot, as opposed to a fixture screw? I'll give the "wiggl...

GrayFox Well I broke down and bought a new color wheel. So, if you still digging through the refuse heap - you can stop ;-)! Discount-Merchant did not have any wheels when I checked and could not tell me when they expected any. Looks like they have some now. Oh well there goes my 10%. The good news ...

GrayFox What you say may be true - but on mine that is definitely a connector on the color wheel assembly I have. Learned my lesson about trying to separate the male from the female ends on the end that looked a whole lot better. Take a close look at that last posted picture and let me know. Yes the...

Grayfox, Did you escape the fires? They are now turning up in AZ. Not quite as dramatic and probably more expected. Discount - Merchants were not able to provide a color wheel assembly (out of stock), and had no projected delivery time. And they were less than helpful on cable assemblies. Maybe you ...

Ouch!! Sorry to hear that. The fire and smoke look really ugly and way too early this year. Hope it is not too close to you. Daughter is up the coast a ways, San Louis Obispo. No, I haven't purchase any thing from that source - yet - but if no cables around I may be in the market for a new color whe...

Grayfox; Etal, The DMD side of the connector appears to be undamaged I'll try to get a close up - but pretty sure all the damage is to the cable side of the color wheel cable (ie. why I am looking for a new cable). Not really looking to incur the costs of a new DMD. If it get that far this box may b...

Basically the female miro-molex board edge connector fragmented when I attempted to remove from the slot. The rear side (rear of the TV) of the four wire connector (only using 3 wires) separated from the body. The best picture I have is pretty poor - but you might get the idea if you can magnify the...

Thanks for the leads (url). Yes, agree I hope I did not short out the DMD inputs(?). I guess, worst case is I'll have to by a color wheel assembly to get new cables. I hope they come that way. The pictures look like it is a complete plug and play. New color wheel is probably not that bad a thing for...

Can anyone tell me if I can get a color wheel cable assemblies? For an HL R6168WX/XXA with a light engine number 61B; L680 61”-050809-18. The light engine side of the color wheel cable disintegrated upon disassembly. I pieced the individual connectors contacts back to the posts but the connection ma...

No Lamp fire after replacing light tunnel Hi All, KevinS, new to the forum, here. I am recently retired (well not that recently and truly released/terminated from INTEL in Arizona, USA - with less than 40 days to go for full retirement [I felt really bad until I heard about two who were recently rel...
