Samsung hls5086 very faint picture
Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2010 5:49 pm
I have a Samsung HLS5086WX/XAA and had an issue with the dreaded 3 blinking lights. I replaced the ballast first, no response. I then replaced the bulb and housing with the BP96-1042A. The tv came on and played like brand new, for a while. My wife noticed that the picture started fading. I tried changing the colors and all that and nothing worked. I did reset the bulb hours. It appears that the screen is very bright but the picture is very faint. Any suggestions? Thanks Lenny
