Did you follow the steps posted here: /viewtopic.php?f=10&t=92?

If so, besides the fan, do you hear any strange noise coming from inside the TV when you attempt to turn it ON?

Angel

Here you can see a service manual:

Is for a Toshiba but can gives you an idea.

Hi sold7,

First a few questions:
What is your TV model?
Did you close the lamp door?
Did you reset your lamp timer?
Did you have sound before you replaced the lamp?

Hi DaveC. Actually the Philips Belgian factory has been closed since 2006, after that all the Philips bulbs are made in China. All the Philips lamps says "Philips", most probably what you have is a generic bulb, since all the OSRAM lamps says P-VIP on it. You can read this article: http://...

Hello everybody. After watching many hours of golf yesterday (Masters) on my Samsung HL-R5667W, my TV started making a very loud noise, like a "revving up" and then revving" down, or it would just be "revving". Also a bad vibration from the rear of TV set. The color is dist...

Angel

If the light engine you're buying has the colorwheel included and it says is the one for your model there's nothing to worry about.

HTH.

Angel

Ok, good luck 8-). I just recommend you to check the pictures first so you won't buy something you don't need.

Angel

Hi mgreen200,

I always recommend discount-merchant for buying new parts, unfortunately they don't have the one you need right now. There's a chance they can get it soon since they receive parts weekly. You can check the website constantly for seeing if they have it available.

HTH.

Angel

Actually the lamp timer is not a part, is a program. What happens when you try to reset your lamp timer with the steps detailed at: http://www.fixyourdlp.com/blog/2007/02/15/resetting-your-samsung-dlp-lamp-hour-meter-counter/ ?

Angel

D-M means discount-merchant.com, they receive new parts once a week, so your ballast might be in-stock soon. Replacing it is not a big deal if you're handy, just a few screws and two connectors. You just need to be very careful of not to damage any other components while extracting the ballast from ...

where can you find one? how much do they u usually go for?

At D-M they go for 59.99, but apparentely are out of stock...

Angel

Then it's most probably a ballast issue.

Angel

Reset the lamp timer, check how here: /viewtopic.php?f=10&t=92

Angel

Hi DaveC

When did the problem start? after any of the replacements you mentioned?

Angel

Hi artohorn,

Do you hear any strange noise coming from the TV?

Angel

Are you doing this?

I think is the lamp timer because according to your manual all the lights blinking means lamp defective, but you've just changed it so it's most probably your lamp timer.

Angel

Do you hear just one click? It might be your ballast that can only reach the minimum voltage needed to turn the lamp ON for a few seconds and not enough to turn ON the screen.

Angel

Maybe is a problem with the fan that is in charge of cooling the lamp, your TV might has a Temperature sensor that turns the TV off in case of overheating. Check your fans for dust.

Angel

So, you replaced the lamp after this problem started?

Angel

Have you tried to unplug the TV, wait a minute, plug it back and try turning it ON again?

In mitsubishi's TVs after replacing the lamp and turning the unit back ON there should had been a message asking you if you replaced the lamp? Press ENT(er) for Yes or CANCEL for No.

Angel

Did you reset the lamp timer?

Angel

Hi cuseikan.

Did you close the lamp door? It has a switch that needs to be pressed in order to turn ON the TV.

Angel

Do you have any LEDs blinking on the front pannel? When it's a fan issue the Timer and the Standby LEDs should be blinking according to your manual. There's another possibility, maybe is a problem with your colorwheel, do you have any problem with your picture? However I think you should see the ano...

Angel

It sounds like your lamp is overheating. Vacuum all the vents in the back of the tv to remove dust and check what happens. Clean inside as well, if you have too much dust that would be the problem.

HTH.

Angel

NEhelp, Here is the link for partstore.com .... m. $139 plus free shipping. Is this the same thing that you have at Discount-Merchant for $279 ? No, is not the same thing, actually they are selling you the bare colorwheel without chassis, that's why the title says "For L3 chassis". It's m...

Angel

Most probably your lamp is reaching the end of its life or your ballast is not giving enough power to the lamp. How old is your TV?

Angel

Hi Joe.

It could be two different things:

1. You need to reset the lamp timer.
2. You're not closing the lamp door when you try to turn ON the TV.

If none of the above suggestions work... Is there any other symptom? any strange noise?

Angel

Hi rick. Could you please post a link to the article you're seeing? The one I found according to your model number is http://www.discount-merchant.com/We-provide-factory-original-parts-worldwide-p/1069249-samsung.htm , and is the whole light engine for $279.99. I didn't find the colorwheel alone but...

Angel

I've never had that issue, but I know there is no colorwheel in LCD Projection TVs, the colorwheel is exclusive in DLP TVs. So you need to replace the Light engine, which has LCD chips instead of colorwheel.

Angel

Stuart Submitted on 2008/10/28 at 5:31pm Replaced bulb on my 52″ zenith projection… easy but the indicator light on the front is still yellow… is there a reset or did i miss something. You need to reset the lamp timer, check this topic: http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=40

Aloha Pablo 8-)

Did you clean the air filter of the lamp cartridge?

Your lamp enclosure has a mesh filter that needs to be cleaned up, if it has dust can cause your TV to shut down in a few seconds.

Hope this helps...

Angel

Hi Pablo. First of all a few questions in order to help you: Does the TV gives you any picture before shutting down? Have you ever replace the lamp? It is most probably a ballast issue, maybe is giving to much voltage, which generates a high temperature and shuts the TV down. Any more information wo...

Angel

Hi Beebo

Did this problem start after the bulb installation or before?

Angel

The manual is available at http://fixyourdlp.com/blog/manuals/Sony/KDSR50-60XBR1.pdf.

The lamp for this model is the XL-5100.

Angel

I agree with stuart, replacing the lamp is easy, but I'd prefer buy at discount-merchant, the bulb alone is for 124.99 and is a Philips (In my opinion better than Osram).

Angel

Hi Juan.

The lamp only provide white light, this light is divided in the light engine in order to generate the different colors, so definitely the problem is not your lamp, it seems to be a light engine issue.

What is your model number?

Angel

It most definitely sounds to be the ballast. The ballast is a board that amplifies the power of the electrical source in order to reach the neccessary voltage to turn on the lamp. When the ballast is malfunctioning you will hear a clicking sound, this is because cannot amplify to the appropriate wat...
