Well over 100 people have commented on my post about changing your own Samsung DLP colorwheel. In all the feedback is a wealth of tips and tricks. I thought I'd capture and condense them here...
The dreaded blue-white wire that goes to the colorwheel: You cannot be careful enough removing it. I was able to get it out by prying it with...
I have a samsung dlp 61" model HLT6187SAX/XAA. It was purchased in December 2007 after it came out in November 2007.
Problem: it now flashes blue every 2 or three seconds. The picture is clear but seems to have lost red because it has a greenish/blueish color.
Per Samsung help center:

My samsung 50" DLP started "Freeze Framing" in black and white. The unit simply freezes up on an isolation picture. The audio still works and you can change the cable chanels but the picture remains black and white "Freeze Frame". You can shut the unit off, let the fan cycle down, and once you hear the clicking reset turn the TV back on...

I was just given a Panasonic DLP TV, but the problem is, there are parts of the screen that are just magenta, and, also, the overall picture isn't very bright. Is it the color wheel or the lamp? Or is it something else? Please help! If I can buy the replacement part and fix it, I'd like to keep it for at least a few years.

I had the dreaded white dot problem with my Samsung DLP 42". They were very good about getting some one out to fix my problem for free. The problem was the "tech" was not what you would call knowledgeable. Screws were left laying loose inside the set. Wrong screws in the wrong spots. The mirror chip that he replaced cracked (either due...
Within the last week a tech from "AT&T Connect Tech", the company that Samsung hooks you up with, came to my house to fix the dreaded white dot problem. About the third time we turned the TV on after the repair we get what looks like a wave or an eyebrow shape about 2/3 the way up the screen. There also appears to be some gray shadows...

I recently moved to a home with land and lots of trees. Here in this part of Massachusetts, there are still traces of the incredible ice storm of the Winter 2009, and our lot had a lot of trees down. We also got a couple trees down to clear up from areas of our property and in order to save some money, the tree company just cut the trees...

I went with HP because i have owner a HP ZT3000 for over 6 yrs and although i had to send it back...
Scot,
Before my TV (DLP Samsung HL-R4667W, about 3yrs old) went blank, it shut itself off every other day or so, but would come back on when I re-powered it. A few days ago I heard a popping sound and the TV just turned itself off and couldn't be started again. I replaced the lamp, although it looked good to me, but to no avail. I had...
My Samsung (labelled AKAI) indicated a bad lamp, so I replaced it. Still bad, so I took it to a TV repair place. They told me they reseated the lamp, and it worked. When I got it home, it worked for 10 minutes. I reseated the lamp, and it worked for another ten minutes or so. Being a retired electronics tech, I suspected cooroded...

What is the problem when the screen won't light up and one red light and two green lights are blinking. We have sound, but no picture
After being on for a couple of hours, my Samsung DLP Widescreen, Model HLN 437W, has recently started having 20 bars, alternating light and dark colored, appear that covers the entire screen. After I turn it off for an hour, it will again work perfectly for another hour or so. Audio is not affected.
Does anyone have an idea what is most...
Hello, I am having trouble with my Samsung DLP TV (HLR4677WX/XAA).
About 4 weeks ago, I had to replace the bulb (it was actually shattered when I removed it). The original bulb part # was BP96'00224C. I found that this bulb was discontinued, so I installed its replacement (BP96'00224J). This seemed to work well, but I started running...

I have had problems with my Samsung for a couple of months now. While watching the television whatever is on the screen will turn to black and white (no gray scale) negative image. The power button does not work at that point and the television must be unplugged.
I read that the DMD board needs cleaning or replacing. I have tried...
