HI.... replaced all 4 of those caps, and still a no-go. The repairman didn't find anything else wrong with the rest of the board. So still getting the 5 flashes. Any more ideas? Thanks did u check all conections everywhere (unplug and plug connections back in could be dust or dirt causing problems ...

from everything i read, the color wheel should spin up even with the lamp removed (make sure you have something holding down the lamp door switch or nothing will happen :). 321v might be ok, another user reported 324 or so on their 50"... You won't really be able to test the power coming out of the...

just to update u guys my tv is still going strong must have been a bad connection.

My set an Infocus 61MD10 had the light engine replaced 2 years ago under warranty...now the blue lights comes on and blibks 5 times( i still have sound) and then does it again,thenafter about 30 seconds the picture comes back and all is good for about 10 mins or sometimes it goes for an hr...is thi...

puddinboo, do you still have that color wheel off that RCA? If so I am interested in buying it from you! actualy I didn`t have to replace anything on this tv to fix it, I`m strarting to think it was a bad connection somewhere. Red I`m sorry but I have no parts from this tv as they are all working a...

just an update tv is still going strong with the old bulb

if you had an arc, you're lucky it still works - better to use a lightbulb with some wires to slowly drain big caps like that -- anyways, it's possible that the arc re solidified a bad solder joint or something or perhaps you just had a loose/bad connection between the ps and the ballast, or the ba...

well my tv has been running today for 8hrs straight without a glicth.could it be the cap on the ballast board is my question??

ok my tv has been working flawless for about 4 hrs straight now after unplugging tv and shorting out capacitor 450v 47uf kxg on ballast board .when shorting out cap got a good spark from it .I`ll keep u guys updated if interested.seems weird to me ??

I went out and got a 52" samsung lcd Tv with a 4 yr extended warranty .awsome pic on it too, I hope this 1 will last .but I do have parts from this rca TV if anyones interested ,but I don`t know whats good or bad though ,I think the color wheel is ok since it runs nice and smooth.as for the power bo...

My power supply board is more square than the 1 in the pic.

I trippled check (observed caps )all look good I think its time to buy a new tv don`t want to keep spending money on this thing.
oh yeah it looks like somebody replaced the caps on the board too .this tv was a replacement tv from rca hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

well igot my new bulb from DM and still having the same problem ,checked color wheel runs nice and smooth ,and then the tv powers down u can here a clicking noise each time it powers down and then back up just no pic it will only stay powered on for about 5-10 secs before it shuts down each time so ...

i think the voltage going to the bulb will blow out an average multimeter when it's firing the bulb -- 15,000v. I won't pretend to be an electrical engineer, but knowing i was dealing with that kind of voltage was enough for me to bring mine in for a check up. lol I just tried using my multimeter a...

thx for your replies. I thought u might be able to just use a multi meter to check ?

wonder how or if u can check the output of the ballast to the bulb. and wether the voltage going to the bulb is ac or dc ?

I have a question about my rca 50" dlp model M50WH92SYX1 which I purchased in 2007 ,1st bulb (osram) went in 9 months,2nd bulb (phillips)went in 8 months .I was wonddering if turnning the tv off and on about 6 times a day to save the life of the bulb is actually killing it quicker.should I just turn...
