I have had my tv for just over a year (warranty just ran out) and a week ago my tv stopped working and I concluded (without prior training) that the bulb must need replacing. I did so myself and the tv worked again. NOW, a week later, I am having problems again. When I turn the tv on it seems like it is just fine but the lamp light starts blinking 5 or so times. The pic and sound come up but then everything turns off and the two opposite lights (lamp and standby) keep flashing. Hitting power button does nothing and I actually have to cut the power supply. The first couple times I just waited and then I turned it back on and it worked fine. Now, I am not so lucky. I have a hunch that it is the cooling fan. Not possitive. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
If anyone knows how I find the part I need (not sure how to tell which one I need). Where can I find it and instructions on how to install would be great. Until then, I am without my tv.
Thank you. |

Cassandra,
I think I agree with you. I had a problem with Fan 2. At least that is what the message was that flashed on the screen. I removed the back cover and watched the fans and could see that the one that cooled the fan was not turning. I replaced that fan, it was a fairly straight forward process. Now, when I power up the tv, the fans work but I cannot get the flashing check fan message to go away. http://www.jangro.com/a/2006/09/29/samsung-dlp-how-to-replace-fan-2/ this site offers some small insight into the how-to of fan replacement. By the way, I chose to replace the fan with just a plain ol' computer fan rather than forking over $40 for an OEM fan.
There was some discussion on the jangro site about the type of fan used by Samsung. I had no trouble putting the fan in and I can see that it is turning now. |

Cassandra -
I have the same problem on my 50" Samsung HLT5075s . The lamp went out, then 3 months later after replacing it the tv broke again. I turn it on, the lamp flickers on and off for about 5 seconds then it shuts off. The STBY and LAMP leds start blinking. From here I have to unplug the TV to actually get it to turn off.
Both my fans are working fine though, did you ever find a solution to your problem? |

Yes, my lamp cover was not on properly. It turns out that I forgot to screw the outside cover on after replacing the bulb. There is a detector switch for the cover and the tv doesn twork unless the cover is on. That should fix the two blinking lights problem. I hope that helps. |

Thank you so much for the post of Feb. 15. I tried to turn on the tv without the back cover. I spent a number of hours trying to figure out why it flashed the lamp/temp light. Then I read this thread, put the back cover on (with all screws), and "wah-la" it turned on like magic. Thank you for your comments! |
