Samsung Fan noise

[Crowguys]

I have a 50 inch DLP (HL5063W). Had it just over 5 years and not one problem with it even still has org light blub. In the last week I notice when I turn the TV off and the fan shuts down it sounds just like your sticking a stick on the blades and it makes that flipping noise until the fan stops. I do not hear it at all when the TV is running and its not getting hot behind it.
I keep it really clear of dust and have away from the wall to get air around it. I do not get any check fan or any errors on the screen or on the on/off button. Has anyone had this problem or know what might cause it?

Thanks Travis

It can potentially be your color wheel. Are you getting color distortion? Perhaps you could provide more details. I have heard a variation of this symptom. But color distortion was a key factor for my friend's tv.

Thanks for the reply. I have not had any color problems with the DLP. I checked the service mode and from other posts I have read everything is normal. There is 8800 hours on the org bulb. The only things I have done lately is play with the DVI and HDMI. I use the HDMI to DVI. I have changed back and forth with that and HDMI only. I think the DVI looks better than the HDMI. Anyway I also just got a newer HD/DVR box from comcast. We usually watch it at night so I keep the brightness in the mid 50's. Other than that stuff nothing else is wrong with. Though I am getting worried as I read more and more posts HA HA. Any ideas would be great.
