We had a power outage, and when we turned the TV on at first the screen just flashed the welcome screen than the light started flashing green, than shut off. I read in the manual to do a system reset, now after that it starts like it should but hangs at the welcome screen, it has been on this for a ...

My son had a "small gathering" and something got spilled on my Sanyo (heard different liquids) anyway, it worked fine up until then, now all it does is buzz, and it buzzes very loud, when I try to pull up the menu the pitch and intensity of the buzz changes, but it never goes away. I pulled the back...

Could the color wheel go bad when I took it apart? All conections are good and clean. Could any plugs be in the wrong spot?

Thanks!

ETA, Now I'm wondering if maybe I didnt get everything plugged in good enough, the ribbon wire was kind of ddifferent without clips and I was worried about breaking it.

Which picture is the DMD board? 13 down 3 to the right? On the replace your color wheel guide.

Yep, they are all affected. Which DMD board do I need? My set is a Samsung, HL67A510J1F. How can so many things go wrong at once? My bulb went out first, then upon installing a new buld, I discovered my ballast was out, at least nothing happenedd until I installed a new ballast and a second bulb, n...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, its not making any noises it didnt before I tore into it, so I didnt get the wires that slide (copper colored) in good enough or I did something to it when I removed it to check for anything wrong with it.

As in, when its on the menu screen do the colors fade, like when your watching it on a show?

ETA, Yes it does, it does it on the menu screen, when there is no input and you see the ant races, as well as when your actually watching tv.
Thanks

I replaced the bulb and then the ballast, now my picture kind of flows in the colors from reds to pink/flesh on skin and the blue and greens kind of blend and go back and forth. When I did the ballast I removed the color wheel first as when I originally replaced my bulb the picture still didnt work,...

No one

Ok, I replaced the bulb again, and the transformer this time, and now I have a picture buuuuuuuuuuut its not so good! Its sharp, but its like fading from blue to green, red to flesh (on skin), etc, its not holding the colors. What now? I inspected the color wheel and it look fine. We didnt touch it ...

Ok I will order the new lamp, should I just get the lamp and use the original housing? If the ballast is bad would that work for my set? The one in my above post, It says for a 130 watt bulb?

Well the bulb number on my above post is what is in the owners manual, the allast I found on discount merchants web site. I hate to trouble you ut can you give me the correct ballast and bulb numbers for discount merchants web site so I can get these ordered up? Thanks, Mike ETA, I cant find or see ...

Thanks, I was just editing my post with a ballast when you were posting but I see mine is wrong
Please tell me this is the right bulb Samsung BP96-01600A Lamp - Replacement Lamp Code BP9601600A(O150W), also am I better off getting the complete unit (bulb and housing) or just the bulb?

Since I live in the rural part of Washington State, what ballast do/would I need, from all the posts here on Samsung, I might as well order one of those also.
Is this the correct ballast?

Its out and I'm looking at it, it looks fine to me , it even turns easily when I tried to turn it to see if it was jamed up.

NEhelp wrote:If you want to be sure the problem is your color wheel you need to check it physically, I recommend you to check the guide I posted. If your color wheel is fine then the ballast could be the problem.

So what am I looking for on the color wheel? How do I know if its bad?

I'm at a total loss here, I bought a HL67A510J1F, it has worked great for just about 14 months and wham! Nothing, the lights started blinking (all 3 in front) so I found discount merchant, ordered a new bulb and housing, it wouldnt even go in :o , then I noticed the male ends on the housing to the ...
