When you try to turn it on, Do you hear any unusual noise coming from the TV?

Angel

Well, you're not the only one with a cursed TV, just take a look at all the other posts... It seems like Samsung DLP TVs are some kind of daemons portal :?

You're welcome, so if you have any other issue feel free to get back to me and I'll try to help you the best I can ;)

Angel

Oh that's great I was about to tell you your TV is cursed :lol:

I hope this solution lasts for long ;)

Angel

The wattage of the ballast needs to be in the range of wattage of the bulb, if you have a 120W ballast you can use a 120/132W bulb, but not if you have a 100W ballast. If the ballast wattage is less than the bulb wattage the bulb is not going to turn on. If the bulb wattage is less than the ballast ...

Angel

I don't think so, are the bearings of the two color wheels the same? (golden or silver)

Angel

You need the 100W lamp. Both the big and small Philips lamps are good. http://www.discount-merchant.com/Samsung-BP96-00224E-OEM-Replacement-LAMP-BULB-BP-p/samsung-bp96-00224e-oem.htm There is a 95% probability your problem is just the lamp, however there are another possible issues (I.E. a weak ball...

Angel

Well, at least now you know the new color wheel spins, it's just a matter of check what thing is obstructing the wheel.

Angel

Well, I just can see 3 possibilities: 1. You have a very very very bad luck and got two defective color wheels. 2. You're not installing the new color wheels correctly (and for some reason you're installing correctly the old one). 3. The diameter of the new color wheel is bigger than the diameter of...

Angel

I think it's weird that your old color wheel doesn't have a gasket, maybe you're removing the color wheel and the gasket still in the TV, so when you're putting the new one you have two gaskets and the color wheel is not seated properly.

This is just an idea.

Angel

Don't you have any label on the cables?
Try removing the gasket in one of the wheels.

Angel

I am looking at both color wheels and they seem identical, the only difference is while the housings look almost the same, te new color wheels came with an additional gasket not found on my original one. L6/BP61-01024A#3 - That is what is stamped on the new wheel Thanks for taking the time to help ...

Angel

Ok, I'll try my best.

First of all let's discard some possibilities, you said both new color wheels and the old one look identical.

Are the part numbers the same also?

Angel

The noise depends on the type of damage the color wheel has. It could be broken in pieces or maybe it just has problems to spin properly.

Angel

Angel

I think the problem couldn't be somewhere else, if that was the case the "green/pink/white horizontal lines" problem wouldn't be fixed. So I think the analog board is what you needed.

Are you sure the replacement board is exactly the same as the old one?

Angel

The best thing you can do is remove the back cover and track the noise, so you can be sure where is the problem.

You can stop the fans with a finger and check if one of them is producing the noise.

Angel

I have a HLN507W DLP purchased in Apr 2003. One bulb replacement in Oct 2006. Started hearing a high pitch whining noise over a year ago but no visible change in color/operation. SS tech support says probably color wheel. Local repair agreed and told me no harm waiting until it died. A yr+ later it...

Angel

Same problem with all the inputs?

Angel

Hello again, was hoping I would not have to be back to this :( but I am. I was final able to hear clicking of what I thought was the ballest so we had replaced it. 8/8/09 before replacing it we had turn on the tv, it came on and then with in 30 sec we could hear a clicking on & off several time...

Angel

Hi.

It's most probably just the lamp. Try replacing it.

Hope this helps.

Angel

Yes it could be your ballast, but it could also be your color wheel. I recommend you to check the color wheel physically so you can be on the safe side. If it's not damaged then try replacing the ballast. For instructions on how to take the color wheel out you can use this replacement guide: http://...

Angel

It's a possibility, It might be having problems spinning, not necessary is damaged, so your picture looks fine for a moment.

If that's not the problem it could be also a fan.

Angel

You can test the chip. With the TV in stand by mode: Press "Mute" + 1 + 8 + 2 + "Power", once you are in the service menu run the test pattern for the DNIe chip.

Hope this helps.

Angel

Sounds like the color wheel. Check it physically, use this guide to take it out: .

Hope this helps

Angel

I vacuumed everything in there. Where exactly is the light engine? Where is the DMD board? Can you help me out with a part number for the board? I might just replace it. Thanks Check this color wheel replacement guide: http://guides.fixyourdlp.com/samsung/bp96-01579a.php . If you can follow the ste...

Angel

I have a five year old HLP5085 that developed the exact same symptoms two weeks ago. First the black-outs were sporadic, then the images were gone permanently. There were no failure indicator lights on the front panel when this happened, although the "lamp failure" light did come on event...

Angel

thanks NEhelp.. couple of questions, - do i have to take the color wheel out completely to check, or can i slide the main board out (which i did) and still view the wheel from outside? - Any ideas about my other issue of not being able to pull out the lamp? About the color wheel: I recommend you to...

Angel

Then I think the problem is the DMD board. I don't think is the light tunnel because it is a static part, when it fails or got moved the problem doesn't disappear when turning the TV OFF and back ON.

Hope this helps.

Angel

Did you vacuum the light engine?
It seems to be a DMD board issue, so it could be the board that is overheating.

Angel

Hi cooper.

When you get the black screen, how do you know the lamp is ON?
Did you check with the back cover off or are you able to see any light on the screen?

If is the second case then try to display the menu. Does it show?

Angel

I see two possibilities: 1. Color wheel. You can check this physically so you can be sure it's not working before spend more money. For instructions on how to take it out use this replacement guide: http://guides.fixyourdlp.com/samsung/bp96-01579a.php , you have to check if the color wheel has any d...

Angel

Ok, once the flickering appears again display the menu, does it show over the flickering? or it's also affected?

Angel

When the picture is gone, are you able to display the menu?

Angel

It seems to be the color wheel, fortunately there is a way to verify it before buying a replacement. Use this color wheel replacement guide to take the color wheel out and examine it: http://guides.fixyourdlp.com/samsung/bp96-01579a.php , if your color wheel has any damage or cannot spin freely, tha...

Angel

Have you ever replaced the lamp?
How old is your TV?

Your lamp is working, but maybe your lamp timer has reached its limit. Try to reset it, instructions here: .

Hope this helps.

Angel

Did you check the color wheel?

Angel

Ok, then the flickering should caused by one of the boards... Check if the problem happens with all the inputs. Also access the service menu (Your TV needs to be in Stand by mode) by pressing "Mute", 1, 8, 2, "Power". Select DDP1011 → TEST PATTERN → Press the right arrow key. Tes...

Angel

I answered you here:

Angel

There are recent posts here so I'll try to get someone's ear for my problem. HLR-5678, bought in 2006. A couple of months ago it develped a 1.5-inch shadow along the left edge of the screen. Grown slightly now to maybe 2 inches. You can see the image on the screen through it, and picture otherwise ...

Angel

15 down 1 right, the board at the bottom of the light engine.

Angel

Hi exlax2002. Your problem seems to be just the lamp, as Samsung said. However there are some people who replaced the lamp and then discovered all kind of problems, so there is no way to assure your problems are going to finish there, however there is a 95% probability they will. The lamp has a life...

Angel

Use this color wheel replacement guide: , follow the steps until you have the light engine out, the DMD is the board in the light engine.

Hope this helps.

Angel

Yep, they are all affected. Which DMD board do I need? My set is a Samsung, HL67A510J1F. How can so many things go wrong at once? My bulb went out first, then upon installing a new buld, I discovered my ballast was out, at least nothing happenedd until I installed a new ballast and a second bulb, n...

Angel

Hi NEhelp, Thank you for your advise, I have cleaned the fans and vents in the TV and it does not shuts off for the past 3 days, which I guess the problem have been solved. One more problem remaining, it is the spinning noise (like a small motor running), you have suggested to physically check the ...

Angel

As you said in the other topic, the DMD board could be malfunctioning. Since this is the device that controls the color wheel, ballast and lamp to create the picture.

Angel

I posted a very similar situation a couple of weeks ago with 40+ views and no responses. After reviewing this and other forums, I've decided that it could be DMD board or the digital board or the analog board. It's just not worth trying that many parts that are progressively more expensive that wha...

Angel

And I'll be waiting for you... LOL :lol:

Angel

Replacing boards is not a big deal. I don't know of any site that has a video guide or anything like that, however you just need to be careful of not to damage any other component while taking things out.

Let me make a deeper search, maybe I can find something that can guides you.

Angel

Well, thank you for thanking us xD.

It's great to know we're helping people that just have to take a look at the posts to solve their problems :D .

Angel

Ok, I hope the new bulb solves your issue ;)
