Odienkandy, Definately... When the picture get's dim, your lamp should be replaced... For this reason some LCD projection and DLP projeciton TV's come with a timer. The weak lamp may damage your ballast or your power supply if it's not changed soon. The Philips lamps will last forever if you let the...

Geno51,
I'm glad it worked out! It makes me happy when people can watch TV tonight in peace!

I would definately change that sensor.

ovadoggvo

Tman, This is precisely why i asked you to pull up the menu. If the menu system is fine, the problem is with your DNIe chip located on your DIGITAL BOARD. I would start by buying a Digital Board, now this part is not part of the light engine! Your picture in picture working also points to the Digita...

jeffyb, It sound to me like your color wheel has a bad bearing. The problem may be intermittent, but it will start to repeat more and more often. I would recommend replacing the color wheel as it is a common problem on your set. Your part number is BP96-00250A.. I would check Discount-Merchant or Pa...

Papa, There are many reasons that could cause the lamp to go out sooner than later. Instability is the most common. Constant on/off without letting the lamp cool down completely before turning back on is a big no-no. The next issue could be a weakened ballast. Once a bad ballast gets weak, it's just...

musowl,
I don't recommend soaking anything! You may damage it further. Just a quick cleaning should do with a soft brush. Dip the brush into the alcohol and brush of the complete board.

I would order one that looks similar on D-M and see what happens.

ovadoggvo

dplogue,
What do you mean by grey? Does your remote control still work? Can you turn the TV off using the remote? What happens when you turn the TV on after a hard reset (unplug / plug back in)?

Try entering the service menu and doing a factory reset if you can.

Let us know!

ovadoggvo

samgator, Is there sound on any other inputs? Component, video, etc.. Try entering the service menu by unplugging the TV, pluging it back in, on your remote press Mute, 1, 8, 2, Power to turn on your TV in service mode. There should be a factory reset there. It may fix it. If not, give me the model ...

kurtsweiland, A few things. Make sure you plugged both wires comming from the color wheel into the DMD board. There is 1 cable for the sensor and another one for the wheel. Try inverting the cable of the actual wheel... this could be a bit tricky as it can slide in both ways!! You can easily connect...

bigrob49er, The problem you are describing is 99% your color wheel. The cooling fan has a small chance of failing before the color wheel does, as the color wheel is spinning 5000 RPM while there is a light that is brighter than the sun pointed directly to it! The part number for your TV is BP96-0025...

Tman, To me it seems like your DMD board is at fault... I would try poping up the menu when those green lines are on the screen.. Does the menu system get distorted as well? If your answer is yes, then it's 90% chance that you DMD board is the board that needs to be replaced. If you find a complete ...

BigAl79, The Philips lamps are a life saver for consumers and servicers alike! We used to get warranty claims on 30% of the JVC lamps that we installed for customers that were made by Matsushita (panasonic). We have switched to Philips since last year when these lamps were released by Discount-Merch...

ovadoggvo

BlackMustangGT, You are a fortunate man! You have one of the newer JVC's that used the newer PHILIPS brand TS-CL110UAA lamps. Normally the JVC lamps are very sensitive and last only 2500 hours or so. I would buy a spare immediately just to prevent a TVLess weekend! Overnight shipping can get expensi...

ovadoggvo

bhungerford, The block you are refering to is the complete light engine (optical block) and it DOES include your DMD board! I'm affraid that the technician may have swapped you out with a poorly refurbished light engine that has now failed. I would call Samsung back and let them know that your TV wa...

ovadoggvo

Geno51, Ouch... Is the light turning on buy you are getting a black/no picture? Is the screen lit? If you answer yes, there is a 80% chance that your DMD board is bad... Samsung wants upwards of $600 for it.. I would check Discount-Merchant.com as they are the only ones I know that sell them at a re...

ovadoggvo

musowl, I would recommend ordering one from Discount-Merchant.com... I think they sell them for $20-$30 .. It's the best test you can do. Otherwise, you can clean it with some 90% alcohol that you can buy from home depot, but make sure you don't have it plugged in when doing this. Leave it about a h...

ovadoggvo

shrikedoa,
Yes.. You would have to physically open your TV to inspect the color wheel.

There is a nice guide for changing the color wheel available here:

Let us know how it goes.

ovadoggvo

cg81, Did you reset the lamp timer when you replaced the lamp 6 months ago? I bet the timer needs to be reset! All you need to do is use a paper clip to push down the tiny little "reset" button on the front of your TV (next to the lamp light). When you press it, hold it there for 10-15 sec...

ovadoggvo

bruce, Nice! I bet it's your original Philips lamp! I assure you that most people have issues often with their lamps because they tend to go cheap on the replacement. The general public normally do not know the difference between these lamps and they beleive that a lamp is a lamp.... NOT TRUE! From ...

ovadoggvo

musowl, I would keep the lamp.. You will need a backup in either case. You don't want to be without a lamp, specially when you are still diagnosing your TV set. As for the temperature sensor.... It is near the lamp / ballast side and it looks like this: http://www.discount-merchant.com/SearchResults...

ovadoggvo

City, Do the squares also show up on the menu system? What about the picture in picture? If you answer yes, then your DMD board is most likely the issue. If you answer no, then your Digital Board is most likely the issue. What is your TV's model number? I can see if I can direct you to the right pla...

ovadoggvo

Geno,
make sure your lamp cover is on securely before you turn on the set. The problem you are describing to me may be a temperature sensor issue. The temp sensor looks like this:

nice deal... I wish you luck. I'm sure you will get it soon.

ovadoggvo

PPeterson,
Replacing the ballast is a pretty simple process. There is an excellet ballast replacement guide available here:

http://guides.fixyourdlp.com/samsung/bp47-00033a.php

Your TV set will be EXACTLY the same process.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

ovadoggvo

shrikedoa,
I would check the colorwheel. It could be that the colorwheel is starting to come apart between the colors segments or one of the color segments may be cracked. Let us know if you have any updates.

ovadoggvo

bhungerford, If your Tv has that bar on the menu system as well, i assume it will have it on the Picture in Picture as well. This problem is caused by a failing DMD board. I would call SAmsung first to see if they would cover it.... If not, I would check a website called discount-merchant.com... The...

ovadoggvo

freshyab, What is your lamp code? I'm assuming that the original lamp for your TV was an OSRAM and you repalced it with an OSRAM. Some of the HLT series TV's that were sold at Costco and Circuit City were shipped out of the factory with a 150W osram bulb with lamp code BP96-01600A and BP96-01653A. T...

ovadoggvo

rrf, I just saw your post. To me it seems very likely that your Digital Board is bad. Now remember.. the digital board is not the DMD board. The digital board is the board with the DNIe chip on it. It normally has an L shape with your digital tuner on it. From my experience, the Digital Board would ...

ovadoggvo

musowl, You're first diagnosis was correct.... The lamp is always the first guess! I hope you bought a Philips brand lamp from an authorized dealer to reduce further headaches... Some of those cheap lamps on eBay (aftermarket) may have intermittent issues. The one thing we know about your TV from it...

boblasek,
That board is for a HLP5063W. It won't work for your 43" HLR series. Keep your eyes open, they seem to update their site often. I will do the same!

ovadoggvo

WesternDigital,
I try my best to get to everyone on these forums. I try to keep everything online and open to the public so that others can learn from these problems and their solutions.

I actually have a full time job and I assure you that this isn't it! I'm just here to help.

ovadoggvo

mbilak, I believe your color wheel may be at fault, if not, the temperature sensor is definately another option. If you want to FORCE ON your ballast, I will show you how... BE VERY CAREFUL. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this procedure unless it is your last resort as it may damage your ballast or your power s...

FredK, I'm glad we could help you solve your problem! How much did you end up paying? As I said before, D-M is a life saver for situations like this. Some repairs are so expensive that make the TV disposable. D-M's prices make it worth while to do the repairs rather than trash the set. As for your a...

HunterZ, What discount-merchant people are telling your is absolutely correct. The Hitachi enclosures (yes all of them) were made originally to fit PHILIPS brand P22 Lamps. As hitachi's first UHP lamp for these TV's was the UX21511 enclosure. Then they followed with the UX21513, UX21517, UX21518, th...

PPeterson, If the noise is a loud shreiking noise or scratching noise, most likely your color wheel is bad. The reason the color wheel fails more often than any fan within the TV set is because the heat from the lamp is shining right onto it. Heat causes these parts to fail as does the constant on/o...

HaQKR81, Your color wheel is most likely the issue. What is your model number?

TNTExplosives, Did you buy a Philips lamp? Be careful with those guys on ebay selling "OSRAM/PHILIPS" lamps... OSRAM IS NOT THE SAME AS PHIILIPS! And neither is "OEM Compatible". Buy Philips and buy from an authorized distributor. You never know what you are gonna get with the ot...

preludedez, There is a slight possibility although I show that the 507W and the 437W is the same, I'm not sure about the 5067W. I would check those high resolution photos to see if it matches up. I know they had some for your model, but unfortunately 5067W is one of the most commonly sold TV's from ...

Sevice Pro, I have had lots of experience with these RCA DLP sets. Apart from the Lamp and the Color Wheel issues, these RCA units are notorious for their defective power supplies.

The temperature sensor is responsible for checking the temperature within your TV. If the sensor detects a temperature above the norm for your TV, it will cause your TV to go into protect or standby mode.

mbilak, I would assume the color wheel is defective. Not powering on but 340V to a brand new ballast means your Power Supply is good. Your ballast is good. Your lamp is new (philips i assume) and it leaves 1 option. The Ballast is not getting the signal to turn on the lamp. This means either your DM...

REZ, I think the DMD board is most likely at fault because of the complete lack of picture. The Digital Board is also a possibility if you want to start there for $70. It's difficult to tell in these situations because in order to really diagnose the Digital Board, you would need at least a picture ...

DLPFan, It seems like your LCD light engine's color prisms are starting to deteriorate due to the heat of the lamp.

REZ, Unfortunately I would have to tell you that my first instinct tells me your DMD Board has gone bad. A very common problem on these TV sets after about 4 years.

alsie731, I have to tell you that one of your LCD prisms has deteriorated to a point where the heat from the lamp will continue to deteriorate the picture.
