toshiba 46 in dlp tv
i have a 46in toshiba hm84. I just recently replace the bulb. It was working fine for a day or two, but now I hear a humming/clicking noise like the bulb is trying to make contact with the tv connector part. Sometimes this cycles for 5minutes, sometimes 40 minutes before the screen image appears. I was told that the ballist inside the tv may be bad. Is that true? and if so, what's involved in repairing. The tv is just over 2 1/2 years old
My first guess would be the lamp, but since you just replaced it, the ballast is the next best choice.
See this post for info on how to replace that part on a samsung. Probably isn't much different in your TV.
