I've got a HLN507W, purchased August '03, warranty expired. My problem was a buzz so loud there was no point in watching it anymore. I concluded it was the color wheel, and decided to replace myself. I have of couple of questions on the replacement.
1. Does the replacement color wheel for my model have the new air bearings? Samsung parts line did not know.
2. Does anyone know a part#(or proper name) for the dust/heat tape or foam. I understand this is rendered useless after the replacement. Once again Sumsung had no idea what I was talking about.
Any other advice on this process is welcome. This has been a fantastic set, this is just a little bump in the road. Thanks. |

The new air bearing frictionless wheel is not an option on that model.
If you're careful you won't need anything other than the wheel.

I was afraid that was the case. Well I guess I'll document and take photos for the next time. As for the tape, do you happen to know the name or part#? I plan on being careful, but best laid plans and all. Thanks again. |

Sure don't. It shouldn't be a problem, though.
It's not a critical item. |

I have had a Samsung HLP-5685W for about 10 months now, and just now upgraded my cable to digital with HD. Ofcourse the picture is much better than it was, however on the HD channels, I notice (especially during fast motion) what appears to be pixelation. And in some instances, usually scenes with bright white backgrounds, there is the occurance of something similar to the "jaggies" you see produced during DVD playback on a cheese DVD player. The cable service is Comcast, the box is a Motorola, and it is connected with the component cables they supplied with it. Should I go to a DVI connection? Better component cables maybe? Or is this normal and I am just expecting too much from digital cable? Thanks for any advice. |

Speaking of Comcast DVRs, I had problems with my Motorola 6412 III DVR yesterday. At first, I was about to blow a gasket because my HLR5688 was exhibiting the same problems it had a few weeks ago--horizontal colored lines across the screen. That was fixed with a digital board replacement. (I’m still waiting for the LE replacement to fix the light smudges all over the screen.)
After unplugging the DVR from the wall and then plugging it back in again, the problem was gone. Phew, I was just about to call Samsung and say take it back. Needless to say, I am still a little uneasy about this TV even though the picture is AMAZING. I’ll let you know what happens when the LE is replaced.

Update on my situation…
(On my HL-R5688W, I had faint white smudge marks scattered across the screen similar in appearance to bones on an x-ray. They were only visible at night either on the left and right bars of a 4:3 input, in a darkly lit scene or when switching between inputs.)
A different Tekniton tech came out yesterday and while he could not see the problem with the screen like the first tech could, he still replaced the LE. He told my wife that this should fix whatever problem I was having. After thoroughly testing the TV last night and tonight, I am happy to report that the screen is perfect again.
Now, I can think about getting the set calibrated. I have the DVE NTSC Component calibration DVD but since so many of you have raved about the infamous Eliab, I thought I would consider paying someone to calibrate my set for me. Can anyone recommend someone in the San Francisco Bay Area? |

Hello guys - first time posting on this forum. But, at least I'm not a newbie to HD.
Here's my problem. I have a hln437(5?)W that does not work. I managed to get paid for it by the extended warranty company and got a new HLP46.
However, I'd still like to fix it. As part of the warranty process - I got a diagnosis of a bad pcb with an estimate to repair of about $1k for parts and labor. I will spare you all the details of all the screwy things the set does. Anyway, it is obviously, not worth paying someone to repair.
I'm not afraid to do it myself (heck I changed the clutch on my fwd car) and am willing to take the risk that the part I buy turns out to be the wrong one needed.
I saw a reference by Walter (thanks for getting him the correct info FYI) to a service manual. Anyone know where I can get one and does anyone have any suggestions regarding making the repair?
Any help is greatly appreciated. |

I guess I can't edit posts on here.
In any event, I previously had the color wheel replaced on the set. I think I recall hearing that occasionally whenthe color wheel is replaced, the techs can cause other problems by not properly securing/seating other components.
Has anyone heard that and does anyone know how to go about checking for that issue - aside from a mere visual inspection? |

OK. Found the manual on-line at www.eserviceinfo.com. Takes a little work to figure out how to properly search. $35. I think I have a 4365 but will have to check to confirm.
Still, any other advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Hey-
First time posting. I have an HLN437W. Bought it at CC July '03 and has been great so far with only one problem until now. Last fall the screen image started becoming distorted after an indeterminate amount of time. The picture would be fine then all of a sudden the picture would become "over exposed" (tech called it solarization). He replaced the color fly wheel and everything was fine until two days ago.
While watching TV the screen froze in a black and white over exposed image (if anyone has seen a map with contour intervals it looked like that only in black and white). The sound went on but I could not turn the TV off with the remote timer lite blinked but that was all- had to pull the plug. Turned back on and was fine. It has done this a few more times since with last couple of times I have been able to turn off with remote. Image stays for a moment then disappears. I unplug and turn on and its fine - until the next time!
I don't think it's the bulb, since the lights don't blink all at once and the TV is fine after unplugging. Called CC and a tech should be calling within 48 hours. Has anyone had this issue before and knows what is causing this? I love this TV - have Comcast HD and picture is awesome! However I now am concerned that problems are going to keep arising. Anyone with any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks. |

Maxgator,
I know of four main components in these sets.
Light engine
DMD Control Module
Power Supply
Analog Board
I've never heard of a PCB.
Troy,
That's the DMD Control Module acting up. It could be heat related. There is a fan that blows on it and the fan could be dirty or failing in some way causing the module to heat up.

FYI-
Thanks brother. Will let the tech know that when he visits next week.
Fortunately paid for another year on the extended warrenty so this will be covered. However, hoping since I will be deploying again that the wife will not have a bunch of problems with it while I am gone.
Thanks again and will post what comes out of the visit. |

FYI - That's what the receipt from the repair company said. If I recall, PCB is a general term that means printed control board or something like that. So, perhaps that is the same as what you are calling the analog board.
I'll have to find the receipt - it may have some other identifying information.

Hey guys great forum.
I have a samsung hlr5677w dlp purchased in Jan from secondact. It is still under warranty. There is a dead or stuck pixel about 2" in at center hight on the left side of the screen. I called 1800-Samsung and they said the service dept will call within 3 days to set up an apt. I'm thinking dead pixel probably means light engine problem. Do you guys think they will repair it? -I read on some other forum that they will, but I have also read that they will only repair it if there are 2 or more dead pixels on the perihpery or if there is a dead pixel near the center of the screen. What do you guys think?
1. Is it the light engine?
2. Will I have to fight like hell to get it repaired? |

Very rare occurrence. Samsung will make it right for you. Sounds like a stuck mirror group. You wouldn't see just one stuck mirror.
It's Sony that has that pixel policy on their LCDs. Let us know what the tech says and how it turns out. |

Well, I looked at the receipt and it says PCB Misc-D with no further identification.
So is that the "analog board?" It seems that they would definitely have said DMD if it was that. Does the analog board have a formal name?
I'm going to pick up the manual to see if that helps.

FYI - I followed your link to the samsung parts site and sure enough it appears that the PCB is the Analog board.
Part Number: BP94-00434A
Division: TV
Description: ASSY PCB MAIN-ANALOG
It is the part listed for my hln.
Have you changed out one of these before? Is it something that a lay person can do/learn to do fairly easily by using the service manual?
The part is around 170 - I'd be willing to risk that to get the set working. |

OK. It is a real PIA that you can't edit posts here.
I just went back to the site to re-check and erroneously checked parts for an hln437 instead of a 4365. And . . . up comes PCB Misc - Digital. A board that doesn't show up for the 4365.
So, now I'm quite confused. Hmmm. |

Just had the HLR 6178 delivered yesterday and was very disappointed. I have Comcast service with an HD/DVR box but the picture stinks. I can tell a vast difference in the digital vs analog channels but even HBO HD is not what I expected. I think the term is fragmenting but I am seeing a digital mess (relative to what I expected). I watched a variation of channels and the analog are almost imbarrable. Southpark on Comedy Central wasn't even worth watching, Family Guy was a little better but still had what looked like white lines flickering through it it, slight but visible. I've check all connections and maybe I was expecting too much (haven't connected the DVD but I will be watching much more cable than DVD) but this is my 1st HDTV set and I expected so much more. It's a big TV but I think my distance should be okay, normally from 10 - 15ft depending on spot but even from 20+ (I can view from breakfast and kitchen) it's not that great. Could it be a signal issue or is this just what you get with a larger screen without an actual HD signal? Need some insight from experienced users because I can't believe its supposed to look like this. Any suggestions are appreciated. |

Don,
It's all about the signal. You cannot expect anything from a cable provider to look excellent unless they are providing true digital HD signal to the set. That doesn't mean digital to the cable box, either. Anything that's standard definition is crap from a cable company. Sometimes you are better off to bypass the cable box, but it's still garbage in...garbage out. Your new big screen has enlarged the flaws in cable signal. Consider a sat service for SD.
If you want to see the best picture, hook up an old style VHF/UHF antenna to the air input and allow your digital ATSC tuner to auto scan the local digital HD networks. They will have a -1 after the channel number. Prepare to be amazed!
If you're not sure where to point the antenna go to www.antennaweb.org and click on the choose an antenna button. Enter your zip code and you will see all the local digital network channels in your area. (abc, nbc, cbs, fox, etc.) There is information on the compass direction and distance of each station from your zip as well. |

You should expect analog and even some digital channels to be worse than your old CRT. It is a combination of using an HD display device and a 61" picture.
However, if you are watching HBO HD and it is an HD program - you should be pretty impressed. You should not have macroblocking. That is frequently the sign of a signal problem. Have you tried any other HD stations such as Discovery or InHD?
What kind of cables are you using? HDMI from your cable box to the TV will give you the best picture.
What settings are you using on your cable box? You should either be using either a pass-thru setting or it should be set to 720p.
Are you splitting the cable prior to going into the TV? If so are you using quality splitters? I had a terrible problem that was a real pain to diagnose that turned out to be a bad monster splitter.
If you are using HDMI cables, the box is set properly and all of your connections are good/tight, you probably should call the cable company first. They will be able to check the signal at your set top box. You can go onto some of these forums and find out how to do that yourself as well. |

Thanks for responses, it really helps. I think satellite is better but I don't want to go that route right now. I'd prefer to try and make cable acceptable.
I am using component cables but will try the HDMI first. A friend suggested I also try a signal booster. Any real value there?
I did not realize the cable box needed to be set to 720 so I will look at that tonight also.
I did watch InHD and is it a coincidence that I just happened to turn it there when the same video clip I constantly see playing at Fry's was on (ladybug or something on a leaf)? Anyway, I could tell it was HD but still the "macroblocking" was there. Not terrible, but present and not the quality I saw in the store.
Maybe a better description of the analog picture quality is that while surfing through channels, there was a commercial (I forget which channel) with a ship on the ocean, the ocean was somewhat wavy and the distortion was so bad you could hardly tell it was water, almost hurt the eyes.
Also, my picture doesn't seem quite as bright as I expected. I adjusted the settings but contrast didn't seem to change the picture all that much and even a little increase in brightness faded the picture beyond my liking. I am getting old so maybe it's just the eyes but this was at night and it was totally dark, similar to most store environments. Assuming I can address the signal/picture issue are there some tricks or other more obscure ways to adjust picture settings to address brightness or contrast than in the normal menu options for each?
If I'm complaining too much for someone that just got a great TV let me know, I really want it to work but am afraid there are realities I wasn't aware of that will keep me from having the experience I expected. |

Forgot to ask - any recommendations on a reasonably priced DVD player. I have a 1st gen Sony progressive scan that I'm not sure will give me the optimal picture quality test I need to be sure my issues aren't with the set. |

Hi, I bought a samsung HLR 5067W yesterday. THe picture is great; however, when the TV is off I see a round white/gray shadow, somewhere in the center toward the top of the TV and also a white/gray horizontal line over the top of the shadow. Is this normal or there is something wrong with the screen. Please help me on this. Thanks |

Like Tewsley, above, I just replaced the color wheel on my HLN617WX1 61" DLP the other night. Thank God that's done.
FYI for posterity's sake, our TV would shut itself off. Then, when we turned it back on, it would work fine for about a minute or so and then, would squeal/hum and shut itself off and try to turn itself back on - never working again after that (unless we unplugged the TV and repeated the process again).
All three lights on front would blink. Manual says time to replace lamp. Bought a lamp. They sent a lamp with the wrong plug. I scavenged the plug off my old lamp and put it on the new one. Installed it, and it was no help - same problem.
Upon reading this thread, I concluded it MUST be the color wheel because of the squeal/hum. It was.
DIY replacing a color wheel is a pain. The tech manual is a must-buy, but it is not alot of help. Expect to deal with alot of screws and remember where they go. Expect to look in there and wonder how on Earth you are supposed to get access to the color wheel assembly to replace it.
I removed a few components that I ultimately learned I did not have to remove, but that's the way it goes.
I hope I saved a few hundred bucks or more by doing this myself. |

I have just bought a new HLR 5064 Samsung . I have not read any posts about this model . Does that mean that there is no problems with this set? I am new to DLP and know very little about them .What is the difference between HLR5067W and the HLR 5064 ?

I dont think it is as a result of reflections of something in the room. I have changed the position of my TV several times but I still see it in the same spot. I have made a service call to Best Buy to come and look at it.
I also have another issue and not sure if anyone else has it. when I turned it on, sometimes it takes up to 20 seconds for the TV to come on. Is this normal? |

When off, my screen will gather the light in the room and concentrate it to the center in a circular fashion. It's not a direct reflection. If you shift the set the appearance is altered. If yours is not altered maybe you have something else going on. As long as it doesn't affect the picture when the set is on I don't see that it matters very much.
Mine takes about 8-10 seconds to come on and maybe 30 seconds to reach full brightness. |

FYI, as I described, the circles on my set are obvious when dark images are projected in that area. Basically resulting in two large circles that are brighter than the surrounding area.
I find it interesting that Assia has what seems to be the same issue. Either normal for the TV or a common defect. If it's a defect, I'm curious as to what would cause it. |

I would appreciate that Assia.
I've done some looking around in other forums and found another compliant that sounds the same (called it snowballs) and said it's a defect that can be fixed by swapping out the light engine. Sounds pretty common.
Sounds like I'll be calling service as well. |

I had this problem. The snowball effect. Only showed up on dark screens. They came out, said they'd have to replace the whole engine...then after a couple weeks, the warranty company, Warrantech, must have told Ultimate Electronics (where I bought the set) that they weren't going to pay for it and that it might just be dust on the lense or 'stamp' piece w/ all the mirrors. Finally, Ultimate Electonics came out, took my tv and cleaned it. 2 days later they brought it back and the problem was fixed. I never got a clear answer on what exactly it was, but I believe it was dust. |

Thanks Assia.
I'm thinking about just swapping out the TV but I don't have a truck, which makes transportation difficult.
Is there any issues with transporting these TV's on their back or front? The box might fit in the car if I play it flat. |

If you are still within your 30 days, the vendor should pick it up for you and swap it. That is what I heard. You dont need to take to the store. |

Strobing/whitelight flashing....help!!
Stumbled on this forum when my Sammy decided to fail on me. Everyone - thanks for some great info.
Need some help, and didn;t see this issue addressed on the board. I bought a Sammy HLN4365 almost 2 years ago. Never had a problem - until now. The set works great, however after about an hour of viewing the screen starts flashing white lights. The longer I leave it on, the worse it gets - eventually, the light becomes so bad the set starts "strobing". If I turn it off for a few minutes, and back on again, the picture is good for a few minutes then it starts "flashing" again.
Seems to me that there might be a cooling problem so I moved the set toward the air conditioner - works great now, but I'm worried that I might be making things worse by blowing dust into the unit.
Anyone know what the problem might be? Faunty fan? dust in unit? I really don't want to call for service if it's something I can do on my own, but I'm pretty clueless about these things.
Great forum! Thanks in advance!!! |

Yup! Take the back off. Find the safety cover switch and tape it closed. Use the brushy attachment to your vac hose and clean things up in there. Clean the two fans really well. Power it up. Check that both fans are spinning the same and quietly. One fan is for the lamp. The other fan cools the DMD control module, which is what's heating up and flaking out. Hope it's not to late for that module. Cleaning the inside and checking the fans should be done every six months. It's excellent preventive maintenance! |

FYI - Thanks!!!
You were right. Lots of dust in there. Did exactly what you said and it appears to be working fine now. I just hope that the strobing didn't damage anything (DMD control module).
Thanks again. You saved me the trouble of having to pay good money for a tech to come over. I appreciate it. I'm lucky to have found this blog.

Hi everyone,
I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a while now, but I can't find anything similar. I have a samsung HLN617W, and the problem is that it seems to loose all tones of red most of the time. Most of the time when you first turn it on, the screen is only on tones of red for the first 1 - 5 minutes also. Some days it will work the whole day, most days it will start red and then it will go to green and blue tones for long periods of time.
Does anyone have any ideas of what this may be?
thanks |
