Yep I have looked at their inventory they have a lot of OEM original remotes at a fraction of the manufacturers price! I ordered a spare, everyone should have one :?

Angel

Thanks Eddie!

Hello Kevin,

I am having a hard time finding the lamp, I know that the ~P23 is the size of the lamp inside the housing, the wattage seems to be in the range of most lamps.

The lamp listed as the correct replacement for your TV is the Lamp Model #915P016010.. hope this helps

Angel

Jake did you ever finish this?

Jake How is life in TX?

Hey Grayfox :mrgreen: , Thank you very much for this post! :D I have been going crazy trying to buy one from the manufacturer and it seems like Sharp, Vizio, Sony and LG are all out of stock :o . Even some aftermarket companies like whom I also regularly buy supplies for my shop are either bumping u...

Hello I apologize nobody in our community has answered previously. It does seem like this can be a DMD board issue. The TV powers on so the Lamp, Ballast and Colorwheel should be fine. I recommend replacing this board, there are guides on how to do so on youtube and it really would be a shame to tak...

Angel

This sounds like the lamp has reached the end of its lifetime or if you just replaced it, maybe the ballast...

Angel

Hello,
It sounds like you need a new lamp, any other symptoms besides it shutting off?

Angel

maybe you need a new power supply? have you tried that? the most common problem with plasmas is the X or Y sustain board. I would change both!

Angel

Hello strongbrown, The tech guy is correct it is hard to know sometimes if a lamp is bad, a year of good use is a standard good lifespan. Lamps do not come with ballasts, they plug directly into them and they are small (4 by 7 inch) boards that are easily replaced. If the sound you hear reminds you ...

Angel

As a seasoned Tech I respectfully disagree @sonylover,

The best possible customer service and prices I have found to be at www.discount-merchant.com

Angel

The most probable options are: Ballast, DMD, lamp timer or color wheel. 1. Open the back cover (tape the door switch) and check if you can see any light (lamp ON). If the lamp is ON then the problem is not the ballast, it's most probably the DMD board, if it's off then the ballast is the most probab...

Angel

it sounds like a DMD board issue, just to be on the safe side try to display the menu when the half of the screen goes black, if it's half black then the DMD is the problem.

Hope this helps

Angel

What is connected to the other end?
That cable should be connected to the DMD board.

Angel

That's the most probable cuprit, do you have any strange noise coming from the TV? Check if the color wheel is spinning freely, just to be on the safe side. You can also check the temperature sensor and clean the inside of the TV with a can of compressed air, all these tests could lead to a cheaper ...

Angel

It's most probably your color wheel, check if it's having problems to spin, here is a guide to take it out:

Hope this helps.

Angel

Thanks for your help and your fairly confident its the lamp not Ballast? Thanks again!@ Well, that was the most probable option, however I've just read this: Thanks for the reply.. After reading some post about reseting the timmer I thought I mite try it... My tv has been off for about a month whil...

Angel

I recommend you to reset the lamp timer first, just to discard that possibility:

Angel

It seems to be the DMD board, I'd go for that option.

Angel

So i started a full scale debug last night, kind of trying to find something obviously wrong. Does anyone know the voltages that the ballast should output at certain times? It's definitely not my lamp cover switch, I bypassed that and still have the same problems. All the fans are spinning nicely. ...

Angel

Does the checkerboard pattern appear over the menu? 1. In Standby mode, press Mute + 1 + 8 + 2 + Power to enter service mode. 2. Select the DDP1011, then TEST PATTERN, then press the right arrow key on remote to scan through some test patterns. 3. Repeat the same steps with the DNIe option. If the p...

If you buy at discount-merchant you'll get a good price and the best brand for DLP lamps, which is Philips.

Here is the link to the lamp you need:

Hope this solve your problem ;)

Angel

How many hours does your lamp have? It seems like the lamp timer has reached its limit. It could also be a temperature sensor issue, you can find the sensor above the lamp place. Here is a link where you can see how they look and the price for them: http://www.discount-merchant.com/SearchResults.asp...

Hi Jimmy.

Most probably it's just the bulb again, since you watch a lot of TV it's a normal thing (it also depends on the lamp brand). There a small probability it's the ballast, however I wouldn't be sure, since your lamp lasted 4 months.

Hope this helps.

Angel

Nice article :)

Thanks for sharing ;)

Angel

Maybe you just need to reset the lamp timer.

Check this post:

Hope this helps.

Angel

Yes, I think this is a DMD board issue The DMD board should include the assembly, it's part of the board, so D-M and samsungparts should be selling you the same thing. What do you mean by "it isn't clear if this is the correct board" ?, does it look different, did you see all the pictures?

Angel

The fans should be the first thing running in the TV, probably you have a problem in the power supply. Check if it's giving power to the fan, if so, the problem is the fan.

Hope this helps.

Angel

Possibly the light tunnel got moved.

Angel

Having the same issue, same TV. On mine it is only on the tuner inputs (digital cable with cable card and OTA) and it doesn't do it over the menu screens. The component input is clean too. In the past unplugging the TV for a minute or so and plugging it back in would fix the issue but as of late th...

Angel

So, do you have sound?
Have you ever replaced the lamp?
Do you have any weird noise?

Angel

What happens when you turn the TV off once the flickering has begun? Does the flickering disappear? if so, for how long?

Angel

I will probably just end up buying the color wheel and the lamp since I don't really know which is causing the sound. The problem I am having with this is my picture is beautiful. It is just a loud noise that sounds like a circular saw that is driving me crazy. I don't even use the sound on Samsung...

Angel

Just to discard some problems, once the strobing problem appears display the TV menu, is this affected?

Angel

Does this happen with all the inputs?

It seems like you have a false contact in a board or a cable...

The lamp is working fine since you have a picture, also the color wheel couldn't be the problem since you have a good image. Usually when the color wheel fails the TV turns off.

Hope this helps.

Angel

Angel

Yes, that's what I would do. However check the output voltage of the ballast, just to be on the safe side, since it might be a defective bulb also.

Angel

So I think the problem is the digital board.

Angel

Your problem is most probably the digital board. If you display the TV menu and these lines don't affect it then my recommendation is to replace this board.

Angel

Does this problem happen with all the inputs? Does the check board pattern appear over the menu? 1. In Standby mode, press Mute + 1 + 8 + 2 + Power to enter service mode. 2. Select the DDP1011, then TEST PATTERN, then press the right arrow key on remote to scan through some test patterns. 3. Repeat ...

Angel

Do these lines appear with all the inputs?
Do they appear over the menu?

Angel

It sounds like a DMD board issue. Try to display the TV menu once the picture freezes, if it doesn't come up then most probably you need a new DMD. 1. In Standby mode, press Mute + 1 + 8 + 2 + Power to enter service mode. 2. Select the DDP1011, then TEST PATTERN, then press the right arrow key on re...

Angel

Reset the lamp timer, instructions here: .

If this doesn't work the problem is most probably the ballast.

Hope this helps.

Angel

I think it's most probably the color wheel, use this guide to check it physically: .

Hope this helps.

Angel

Inspect the color wheel, it could be damaged. Here is a guide for taking it out: .

Hope this helps.

Angel

The lamp has nothing to do with the colors, I just provides the white light and the color wheel divides this into the primary colors, which are used by the light engine to produce the picture that the digital and analog board indicate. So since you have a picture we can say your lamp is working fine...

Angel

The clicking noise is produced by the ballast, so that is the most probable problem. If you have a voltmeter you can check if it's giving enough voltage.

Angel

Does this pattern show on the menu too?
Does this pattern show on all the inputs? Try the HDMI.
