I certainly do appriciate the help NEhelp and the fact you took the time to investigate for me. I just think that the tech may be wrong (hopefully) on this one. Here is what I found on PartStore: http://www.partstore.com/Part/Samsung/Samsung/BP3100024A/New.aspx I will let you know later this week ho...

NEhelp...but the one next to the lamp is the one that stopped when the "Check Fan #2" error message came on. I gave it a nudge and the error message went away. That leads me to believe that this is actually Fan #2. What are your thoughts?

Thanks NEHelp. I will order one tomorrow and see if it does the trick. Got to start somewhere

merc, I see it does appear to be a little different. I just taped down the little blue lever and waited for the Fan #2 message to appear. Sure enough the fan stopped. I gave it a little nudge with my finger and it started spinning again and the error message was gone. Maybe it is just the fan. I'm g...

Yes, I was able to hold the switch down and get the set to turn back on for a short time. The "Check Fan #2" message is still there though and it is only a matter of time before it shuts down. I wish i knew if just replacing the fan would do the trick, but it sounds like it could be more than that s...

The fan is actually located to the right of the bulb. I assume that this first picture is fan #1...Anyone kno...

I will take some pictures. Just to give you an update. I pulled a few things out and found another fan. I vacuumed all the dust from the fan and everywhere else I could reach. Low and behold, the TV worked fine! I thought I was home free but then the "Check Fan #2" box came on the screen again after...

Thank you so much for the quick response. The guide I seen online showed that fan #2 was in the back of the set and visible as soon as you took the back cover off. My set is not like that though. I see one fan that is working perfect and that's it. I figure that the fan #2 must be buried inside some...

Hello, I have a model HLS5086WX/XAA about 3 years old or so. Yesterday I received a message on the screen that said Check Fan #2. Where do I find this fan on this model? I have searched the internet and found some great tutorials on color wheels, fans etc. but the problem is they are not specific to...
