:geek: Hi MartiniMan, This doesn't sound like a ballast issue, but a DMD board issue. If it was a ballast issue you would notice a dimmer picture in the whole screen. But if is just in one area is most likely to be a DMD. :!: Please read and watch the video on the following links, which will help yo...

:geek: Welcome FrostyKev, Never heard of Tivo issues like this..... BUT..... if you are getting same thing on other inputs there is a really good chance that either your Digital Video Board or your Analog Video Board are bad. try to isolate the issue a little bit more by disconnecting all analog inp...

Hi, Well there are 7 different items that will trigger the LAMP indicator Led light in front of your TV and those are: 1.- Lamp: It doesn’t have a sensor that indicates it’s not working, the ballast just simply can’t turn on the lamp, THE BALLAST send an alert message (not the lamp). The only reason...

:geek: Hi Momof3, Thanks for trusting in us, If you are getting a image for 2 seconds there is a really good chance that lamp is not the issue. What I am concerned is the whining sound you hear. We need to narrow sit a little bit more. Is this more like a mechanical or electrical sound? :!: Mechanic...

Hi rhuian, :o You are handling it very well there.... There are some components that can trigger the lamp led in front of the set, and those are: 1.- Lamp 2.- Ballast 3.- Lamp door switch 4.- Temp sensor 5.- Color Wheel 6.- DMD And you already troubleshooted the first 4..... :lol: :idea: The high pi...

Hi if you see the lamp glow on the back and you still don't have a image on any DLP TV, the most common issue is that the DLP chip just went bad, and is not creating or reflecting the image to the screen. You need to replace the DLP chip or the DMD Board (which has the DLP Chip) or the light engine ...

The Ballast needs to receive 350V from the power supply. And the voltage from ballast to lamp varies depending how consumed is the lamp form 20V-125V. Lamp ignition pulse voltage is about 5Kv to 15Kv. If you have a reading of 180V from power supply to ballast than the power supply is not sending the...

:geek: Hi,
any RCA remote control will work.... and there is a good chance that a universal control works as well. It will just require programing.

BYO

The lamp :idea: works directly with the ballast, the ballast and the lamp are consumable parts and both needs replacement. Usually a ballast will need replacement every 4-5 lamps. It will be better for your TV if you prevent any kind of overheating after you replace the ballast, this will make that ...

If this is a DLP, than there is a good chance that the DLP chip is starting to get bad. you might need to replace the DMD or the light engine.

BYO

Is a little bit hard to tell, since it could be caused by a amplifier or capacitor overheated. There are at least 3 boards that can be involved in this matter, it will be better to get a technician to check this for you. :mrgreen:

Can you upload a picture of how the display looks like?

:geek: Hi, Please check this video and will tell you how the DLP TV works: :shock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD_xZcYQE50 :o After watching this video, you will understand that this Black and White image is generated because the color wheel is not working properly. You need to replace the color ...

BYO

This issues are related with DMD board or the Color Wheel. This 2 parts are the only Electro-Mechanical parts meaning that this are the only ones that have mechanical movement. Color Wheel is spinning about 5,000 RPM's and DMD is selecting the color needed at the proper time. For that reason this 2 ...

This settlement was for Toshiba TV's not RCA.... Lamps are not very expensive, they are about $100 dlls, which is not bad for about 6000-8000hrs of entertainment.

A lot of people who replace the bare color wheel has this kind of installation issues. You can get the Color Wheel installed already in the housing from our sponsors..... www.discount-merchant.com
This will clear your gasket issues.

Hi, All the DLP TV's has a lamp inside. If you haven't replace the lamp I will try that first, since all the lamps have a lifespan. 95% of the time replacing the lamp resolves the issue. If you need a lamp for the TV Model # hlt-6167s or HLT6167S, you need the lamp # BP96-01795A and you can get it f...

If temp is flashing, we need to cool down the TV or maybe the Temperature Sensor is bad. A temp sensor will look something like this: http://photos.discount-merchant.com/photos/1041/photos.php?itemid=1162739 You can test this sensor with a continuity test with a volt meter, this sensor should always...

BYO

This might be a ballast issue or just a connection issue. Sometimes we slide ins the lamp and makes a connection but not a compelte connection, on you might have symptoms like this. Just try to take out the lamp and put it back in, make sure it goes all the way in and close the lamp door. If there i...

If you do get a image on screen and TV just shuts off by itself, you might need to reset the lamp timer:

Hi, This is a sync issue, something is going wrong between receiving the analog signal from any input to the projection. It could be a Digital Board or a DMD issue, since this are the ones that creates the image, at this point I would try to change the digital board first and hope that will solve it...

:geek: Hi, This new bulb just got affected by the ballast, since you didnt reset the lamp hour meter, the ballast was still sending voltage for a old lamp. And that worn out faster the bulb.

Most probably was just a replacement of color wheel. There are no motors in the TV the only thing that works like a motor is the color wheel, and pop sound was glass for color wheel shattering. A replacement color wheel cost about $95 - $120 dlls.

Hi, We might need a little bit more info. Is there any lights flashing on the front of the set? If so what are the names of those lights? Do you hear any kind of strange sounds (clicks, humming or buzzing) when TV tries to turn ON? If lamp light is flashing, 95% replacing the lamp resolves the issue...

BYO

Hi, This is something related with the DLP Chip, you need to replace it or replace the DMD Board or the whole light engine system. A lot of technicians what usually do is to change the whole light engine and it might cost you about $500-700 USD for just the part. But most likely you just need to cha...

BYO

there is no clicking noise or any funny sounds other than the fan and color wheel..... :shock: This might be a problem, since you should hear a click each time after color wheel speeds up. If you dont hear that click, there is a good chance that the ballast is not sending the ignition voltage to the...

BYO

If this is a straight line than yes you need to change the light engine or at least the DMD board. This is not something that happens to often on HP TV's so I think it will be hard to get a guide online. DLP's are manufacture very similar, with 2 modules each module mounted in a sliding chassis. Mos...

BYO

This most likely is something related with:

a) Digital Video Board
b) DMD Board

If this happens with the HDMI input, this will tell you that issue is with the DMD (since HDMI bypass digital video board and goes straight to DMD) and you will need to replace it.

BYO

:roll: Sorry but there is not enough information to diagnose it properly. If you have a new lamp and is not turning ON...... 1.- Make sure bypass any surge protector, connect TV directly to the wall. 2.- Reset the lamp Timer on you TV, this can prevent a new lamp from working. here are the instructi...

if this "whirring" sound was making a vibration on the TV, there is a good chance that the one that needs to be replaced is the color wheel. When the color wheel fails it also triggers the signal for replacing the lamp. This is another common issue with Samsung DLP's. :? In order to replac...

Hi,

I tried to find info for your ballast, but the TV model # 509126D/37 doesn't exist. :o
Confirm your TV Model # :mrgreen:

I will definitely try to change the fans first since changing the engine will be very expensive.
I found the set of your fans here:

If situation persist after replacing this fans, than we will need to continue troubleshooting.

If you already change the bulb and turns ON (even for 10 seconds) bulb is not the issue. You are having isues with the voltage injected to the lamp form the ballast. When you did this: "The TV is about 5 years old but about a year ago the TV would just turn off on it's own. This happened on and...

Hi, Could the bulb be burned out and still look fine? Yes it can. I don't want to buy a new lamp just to find out it's the ballast or something else.

Hi Terry, This is not something that a lamp will caused, the only thing that the lamp does is deliver white light so a image can be projected to the screen. "It will work for awhile and starts occasionally flickering with some horizontal blue bars across the picture. I will do that for a bit an...
