Samsung hlt5075sx fan issue
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 4:58 am
I was having a "Check fan. #2" error not long ago and had the fan replaced. Everything was working okay until the TV started shutting off on itself. I wondered why it did this when I replaced it with a new fan.
After a few times I would hear a buzzing sound and then the TV would run for a good 20 minutes and then shut off on itself with the 3 front panel lights blinking.
I suspect that the TV was turning off due to overheating issues, and I started up the TV again and checked to see if the fans were spinning and cooling the lamp. It was then I saw that the fans weren't spinning and so the TV had shut off again after a little while. I turned it on again and the only one of the fans was spinning, yet the TV had shut off another time. It wasn't till about a few more times later do the both fans #1 and #2 turn on and the TV works fine until the next power up.
Can anyone help me diagnose this problem? Do I have a faulty fan motor or do I need to replace Fan #1 as well? I'd like to know what the root of the issue is, and would like to see if anyone else is having the same issue.
Thanks in advance :)
