Re: HL-S5687W Turns off with 3 blinking lights

I tore down my set once again, removing the light engine, which helped me to locate the ballast board and remove it. I was able to confirm the part number that I had found on several parts supplier sites and also by a visual comparison with photographs found online. I have ordered a new ballast for ...

Re: HL-S5687W Turns off with 3 blinking lights

Thanks for your reply ChubbsTech. I have never replaced the ballast, so I guess I will try that next. I received my new Lamp Assy today but less than 10 minutes after installing it and turning the set on, it shut down once again with 3 blinking lights. Since the set turns on without making weird noi...

Re: HL-S5687W Turns off with 3 blinking lights

Since 3 lights blinking indicates a bad lamp and none of the other other tests and checks have revealed a problem, I decided to contact the company that I purchased the lamp from through Amazon. They have provided me with an RMA (returned material authorization) number. When they receive the trackin...

Re: HL-S5687W Turns off with 3 blinking lights

While I'm waiting for appleads (or anyone else) to respond, I decided to try the next easy thing. I have removed the jumper from the lamp thermostat harness, reconnected it and jumped the leads for the lamp door switch. As usual, the picture is perfect and it powered up without any unusual noises. O...

Re: HL-S5687W Turns off with 3 blinking lights

I have pulled the Power Supply PCB and found that the canister shaped capacitors are NOT bulging. I have looked closely at the photograph of this PCB online and found that some of the small disc shaped capacitors, that are mustard yellow in color, have the same 'bulging' shape as the corresponding c...

Re: HL-S5687W Turns off with 3 blinking lights

Thank you very much for your response, appleads. When I had the rear cover off of the TV to replace the lamp cooling fan, I vacuumed everything that I could reach. That said, I would admit that EVERYTHING is probably not perfectly clean. Besides the fan I replaced, I did clean the one near the back ...

Re: HL-S5687W Turns off with 3 blinking lights

During this problem the weather in my area has been hot... in the upper 90s and low 100s. Today is much cooler, in the low 70s. I turned on the TV earlier and it operated perfectly for about 100 minutes then shut off. This time all 3 lights were off before I unplugged it. After leaving it unplugged ...

Re: HL-S5687W Turns off with 3 blinking lights

The TV has once again shut itself off and is showing 3 blinking lights. The color wheel is quiet and seemed to be working correctly. The bulb I installed back in may was a Philips OEM bulb with housing. While I was at Costco, I remember that not too long ago we had some lightening in the area and th...

Re: HL-S5687W Turns off with 3 blinking lights

I was obviously very frustrated yesterday and I really appreciate your response. I have changed the source and now the TV is working perfectly again. That would indicate to me that the color wheel is OK...would you agree? Boy do I feel like an idiot for not checking that, I was so flustered that I j...

HL-S5687W Turns off with 3 blinking lights

I replaced the Lamp or Bulb Assy in May with a Philips and recently this problem started again. I took apart the TV and pulled the lamp cooling fan. Tested the fan and it was inoperable... so I replaced it and thought I had the problem solved as the TV was working. About 45 minutes later it shuts of...
