Howard, From your description about your HLR6167WAX 61" DLP Television.. it seems like your issue is related to a collapsing light tunnel. The light tunnel is made up of 4 mirrors that reflect the light of the elliptical lamp through to the DMD chip. These four little mirrors collapse over time and ...

Howard, I think I know what your problem with the HL-P5063WX color offset is. I believe you have swapped out the original gold bearing BP96-00674A colorwheel with the air bearing version whixh is newer. The BP9600674A has two versions that when one is switched with another, the jumper CN1 needs to b...

Rammstein, Based on your information about your WD65732 65" Mitsubishi TV - I would sat that Grayfox is correct. The chances are that you bought a generic 915P049010 lamp. There are times that the chinese lamp makers use a 3.5kV lamp instead of the original or Philips 15kV lamp. This can cause your ...

Jpauly, Just because the lamp lights for 4 seconds doesn't make it a good lamp... Do you remember where you ordered the lamp from? The generic lamps have issues exactly as you are describing! Can you pull the lamp out and see if it has any markings on it? The bulb itself should have a Philips stampi...

Toddmw, Sorry about the late reply as I've been out of town and away from computers again... The issue that you are experiencing does seem to be hardware related... Since the discoloration is also on top of the Menu system, this means the origin of this problem is Digital... if this was an analog is...

Ladies and Gentlemen, The DMD chip replacement is actually really easy to do on the Mitsubishi WD-65733 or any other Mitsubishi, Toshiba, or Samsung DLP TV that takes the 4719-001997 dlp chip. I would be a bit weary about buying one from a part recycler as these DMD chips also have a lifetime on the...

Toodmw, You should see if a friend or neighbor has a mitsubishi TV remote. I believe there are many mitsubishi television remote models that will work on your TV. They all seem to have the same frequency for the menu button - and the numeric keys are all the same. It doesn't necessarily have to be t...

The price on the mid-sized lutema helicopter is about $55 which is a great deal.. however, you can often get coupons for the the RC helicopters online by going on the Lutema facebook page.

toddmw, Thank you for doing your best to test all inputs on your Mitsubishi WD-60638 DLP TV. Do you know what the replacement lamp part number on your television is? This will help me determine which version TV you have. My guess is that your lamp part number is 915B441001. This lamp usually indicat...

I don't know their current return policy because I normally keep a few light bulbs on hand for spare. You would need to contact D-M to ask them about their return policy... Last I remember, there was a small restocking fee that they would charge. You may want to take a look at the color wheel sensor...

camarokidz28, What I recommend if you have the BigBoy Samsung HL72A650C1FXZA DLP TV torn apart is that you first check the voltage coming out of the power supply and going into the Ballast board... The voltage should be 320V - 380V. This would mean you have a good working power supply. The power sup...

camarokidZ28, Uh oh... The lamp you purchased for your Samsung HL72A650C1FXZA DLP TV, if it was indeed that same link for "Electrified BP96-01600A Replacement Lamp with Housing for Samsung TVs" then I think we should definitely start there. The generic BP96-01600A lamp selling for $34 is probably at...

camarokidz28, Thank you for posting your issue here. I will do my best to try to assist you with your DLP TV.

Elisgranny, Thank you for joining our forum. Can you tell me the model number of your Television and the Lamp Part Number? Where did you order the old lamp from and where did you order the new lamp from? The Issue with the ballast wiring is most likely because you bought a generic lamp of lower qual...

JJ, Great question and I think I can help you with what you need. First, you need to find our if your Rear Projection TV has a build-in HD Tuner (also known as an ATSC Over The Air High Definition Tuner). One way to find out is by buying an HDTV antenna and plugging into the RF/coaxial connection on...

Todd, Good job with all the info.. That lamp part number is helpful and you found it! Your Mitsubishi WD-60638 uses a Mitsubishi 915B441001 Replacement Lamp... Which is what that number is on the sticker. No need for the text off of the color wheel! I just need to the answers to these questions when...

Reagan,

Good job.. I'm glad you were able to get your Samsung HL-T6156WX DLP Television going again! I'm glad we could help recommend the parts and the replacement lamp to you that work. Hopefully your TV set will keep on truckin' for many years to come.

Nicco, I don't see any reason why anyone would opt-in to a generic lamp for their Sony DLP or LCOS TV... I don't care which model you have, specially people with the KDS-R70XBR2 XBR Series TV's that cost 6k-8k in the market when they were released. Here is a good read about the knock-offs that shoul...

Ladies and Gentlemen, If anyone has this issue, please post with some detail and with a bit more information I think we can resolve the issue.

Nicco, No way that you would be able to buy an original XL5300 Philips lamp for your Sony KDS-R70XBR2 under $80 at best if your buying a bare lamp..

Robiebobbie, Don't panic! The good news is that the lamp you originally had purchase was causing the lamp powering on issue. I'm wondering if your lamp is installed straight into your television? A bar on the top is normally caused by the lamp not being inserted completely into the television set, o...

Electropogee, The Lutema AirTV Digital Converter box can connect to your television set using the HDMI port connection.

PapaMike, I'm glad you found a coupon code that can get you a discount on buying both parts.

Nicco, My first question for you would be: Where did you buy the replacement lamp for your Sony KDSR70XBR2 Television? Before you start to tear apart your KDSR70XBR2 television set, let's make sure the lamp you purchased was and original Philips lamp. The Sony XBR's originally came with a Philips La...

Papa Mike, Thank you for the great description of your issue and previous issues on the your Mitsubishi WD73833 Television set. I think the first place to start would be to test the voltage input to the ballast coming from the power supply. You can do this by using a multimeter on the 2 prong input ...

Bryanteagan, The problem you are describing is most likely a defective/defunct Digital Board. The digital board controls the button set on the television as well as all the digital functions on the TV. When the Digital Board on your Samsung HL-S5687W fails, you normally get intermittent functionalit...

Good luck Robbiebobbie92... Please let us know if that resolves the issue. Did you ever check the voltage from the power supply into the ballast? Was it between 320V - 380V? I just want to make sure it's not a power source issue at this point... sometimes the capacitors on the power supply board go ...

Bryanteagan, I have a hunch on what the issue with your television, but the model number is not showing up.. Is the TV a HLS5687WX/XAA or HL-S6187W/XAA or something to that extent? I need the exact model number so I can look at the service manual to help you better. Also, what is your lamp code? Did...

Robbiebobbie, Great video... Nice HLS6168WX/XAA television and I want to see that puppy up and running. I just saw the video and it does seem like the issue is the lamp...

ovadoggvo

Reagan, Thank you for the model information! The HL-T6156W and HL-T6156WX are essentially the same thing. The /XAA at the end of the model means that Samsung sold that DLP Television into the USA Market (Americas). The BP9601472A (P) also is the correct corresponding lamp code for your Samsung's rep...

ovadoggvo

Reagan,

Can you please post the model of your Samsung DLP Television? Also, if you can post the Lamp Code of the TV (Or the Samsung Part Number) that your TV uses it would help.

I look forward to your response.

ovadoggvo

Robbie, The issue is most likely either the lamp or the ballast. In rare cases, the issue can also be the power supply or colorwheel. To test - Use your multimeter on the ballast as described in the post here (same link as before - in case people get lost): http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/viewtopic....

ovadoggvo

robbiebobbie, The ballast for your television is made by Philips Lighting - just make sure it says Philips on there. The part number BP47-00037A will usually not be on the ballast, you will most likely see 9137 008 20605 (The Philips part number) followed by EUC 132d P/41... I haven't seen any count...

ovadoggvo

Robbiebobbie, As greyfox mentioned above, please make sure you genuinely have a Philips brand lamp inside - I recommend buying from an authorized distributor like Discount-Merchant to insure that. The market has gotten so saturated with generics and counterfeits (bearing a Philips or Samsung name/bo...

AT1984, I'm sorry for the late reply. I lost the bookmark on this thread and just recently found it. The problem you are describing seems to be a DMD issue. The DMD chip should be easily replaceable to get that sucker going again. Here is a good blog about the DMD chip: http://www.fixyourdlp.com/201...

Grimace, The issue you are describing may be a matter of just reseting to factory defaults in the service menu of the TV. The HL-S6167WX has a service menu that you can get into if the set is turning on. Fixyourdlp.com should have the code for the service menu. If the TV set is not turning on, you m...
