Samsung DLP problems

Kevin L — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:45:40 +0000

I have had my Samsung TV for 4+ years and this year it started shutting down on its own and then restarting again. I did some research and was informed to do the following.
1. Clean the dust and dirt out of the inside. Did that and problem solved for 2 months then it began shutting down again.
2. Check the blue switch in back to ensure its pointing down, this did nothing.
3. Replace the lamp if these don’t work, did that still the same problem.
4. Next step is what as I have no clue as to why it keeps shutting down. Paid 3k for this TV hoping it would last at least 10 years. Don’t want to spend tons of $$ trying to replace every part in the TV. Anyone have any ideas?

I thought we open up a dialog and try to answer some of the most common questions rear projection TV users are experiencing… whether they have a DLP, LCOS, D-ILA, projection LCD, it’s really all the same technology more or less.

I’ll update this frequently, but please send your questions and answers and let’s compile a list to help everyone out!

Questions like:

My TV is making a weird noise, what can be the problem?
The front LED lights are blinking on my TV, what is the problem?
There is a loud humming noise coming from my TV…
TV shuts off automatically. It’s gotten worse over the last couple of weeks…
None of the buttons work on the front of my TV or the remote control doesn’t work…
I get audio but no video…

etc,etc.

I can get my hands on a Sony KDS-R60XBR1 but the picture seems yellowish or greenish. Can anybody say that this is a colour wheel problem or something else in the TV?

I purchased a Samsung DLP HLR5678WX in April of ’06. About a year later the TV failed to operate and the indicator lights on the front of the tv indicated that the lamp was bad. Luckily I had purchased the extended warranty and only had to wait 5 weeks for my new lamp to arrive, yes I said 5 weeks. I replaced the lamp and the the TV worked great for 2 weeks and then blinking lights on the front of the TV indicating, yet again, a bad lamp. Only waited 3 weeks this time for a new lamp, I complained a little about the first wait. Replaced the lamp for the third time and it worked great for a couple of more weeks and then indicator lights again! I then went in and took a look around and removed the bulb and re-inserted it and the TV worked! It continued to work for a couple of days, indicator lights again. Removed the lamp re-inserted the lamp tightened the screw, the set works. This worked for a couple of months but the last time I tried this it didn’t work. I then called Samsung and arranged for a certified tech to come and check out my set, after all you shouldn’t have to get out a screwdriver everytime you want to watch tv right? The tech showed up and said that he thought it was the ballast so he replaced the ballast and the tv worked great for 3 days but then the same problem.

I am now begining to think that I have 2 spare bulbs and an extra ballast (yes I saved them) and that the problem lies somewhere else. Possibly the switch for the lamp cover? All connectors on the back seem to be in place. Is there a way to test the switch to see if that’s the problem? Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
