This is actually an old problem and I just can not find, getting old and blind, LOL. I recieved my old 61" Samsung HLR 6167 WAX/ XAA from my son. I am thinking this happened when my son and or I was moving this DLP around.
On the left side of this DLP 61" sceen from top to bottom next to the edge of plastic frame at screen there is a 2 to 3inch shadow that runs top to bottom of screen. You can see the picture moving behind the shadow. I was told something has dropped down behind the lens and it needs to be rest into postion, but for the life of me I can not find the problem any ideas?? I have replaced the power board, new bulb and color wheel which all 3 things needed replacing anyway.
HELP HELP, :-)
Thanks

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 can be found in the middle of a metal housing. The glue from the backside weekens causing them to collaps.
I have sucessfully reglued the light tunnels before with a tad bit of patience and some epoxy thats heat resistent.
