As you can se there is more to it than just pushing Mute+1+8+2.
Good luck.

Have you cleaned the inside of your TV? Is it still filled with dust? If so then I would start there, you see many parts tend to overheat when there is a lot of dust. so when the sensors on the TV detect an excessive temperature reading, it will shut the TV off automatically (for safety reasons). Go...

That sounds like your speakers are starting to kick the bucket. The ballast is unaffected buy the remote since it’s the board that regulates power to the lamp.
Try increasing the volume on the tv, if the buzzing gets louder, then its definitely the speakers.
Good luck.

This is grate news! Now people can finally have their TV issue fixed free of charge. I hope every one spreads the news so Samsung TV owners that have the famous problem can get piece of mind.

Crowell

I would suggest you try it, see if you qualify so Samsung repairs your TV, instead of trying on your own. Some times they exchange it for a new TV, or at least offer one with a grate discount, tell us how it all works out.

Crowell

Since you have already replaced the lamp, have you cleaned the inside of your TV? This is to discard overheating as a probable cause. Another thing, have you closed the lamp door before turning it on? There is a blue switch that if not pressed buy the lamp door it will prevent the TV from turning ON...

Son now the TV won’t turn on again? Have you tried resetting the lamp timer? If not here is my old post with instructions. http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1050 However if you are also experimenting problems with the picture (color, blurriness, flashing, distortions, etc) then yo...

Crowell

If you get your TV back it would be recommendable to reset the lamp timer, so that the TV doesn’t shut down in the near future.It’s better to discard possible complication than to later deal with them unexpectedly.

Crowell

Thanks Nightkid, I totally forgot about the stain. The picture on the link is the UV filter from a Samsung color wheel enclosure, it might not look exactly the same as the one on the post above, but I suggest you double check yours, if so your going to have to buy a new one, the bad news is that the...

Crowell

Have you cleaned the inside of the TV? There is a small chance the problem is overheating. You mention there were no broken pieces on the chassis. But did you look at the color wheel? Here is a small reference guide on where to locate it. http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1315 if t...

What brand of lamp is inside your TV? Normally Philips last between 6000+ hours & OSRAM from 4000+ hours. So unless you have your TV on for lengthy periods your lamp should last you 2 years at least. If you have a generic brand then it’s probably time to change the lamp. When the picture on the TV i...

Crowell

My personal suggestion is that you replace the ballast (the entire board). Since the only way to test the ballast is with a oscilloscope, I really don’t see another alternative. Plus 50 or 60 bucks for a ballast doesn’t sound so bad (compared what those clowns at the repair show are trying to charge...

Crowell

Ok, correct me if I’m wrong, but did you reset the lamp timer after you replaced the lamp? If not then try it, if yes… then did you clean the inside of the TV? I can safely assume that you did, since you have already changed a fan. Have you closed the lamp door? (There is a small switch that if not ...

Crowell

As far as my knowledge goes, there is only 3 parts that can prevent the TV from turning on. One is the lamp, another one is the ballast, and third is the color wheel. Since you already installed a new lamp, then it safe to say that it’s not the lamp, that leaves the color wheel & ballast. My suggest...

Crowell

Have you reset the lamp timer? Sorry for butting in, but Eddie hasten posted in quite a while now. You see the lamp timer is a small program built in your TV that keeps track of the amount of hours that the lamp is in use. When it reaches a certain limit it will shut the TV for security reasons. Her...

Crowell

You probably didn’t read the above post but this tv has no color wheel or lamp. It uses LEDS, here is the tech specs.

Ok, it is very common issue on these Dynex LCD TVs that the connector (especially the flat one) that goes from the Logic board to the LCD is loose, how ever you can try and clean it with clean cloth dipped in alcohol, just to make sure no rust is in there. If still nothing happens then my second rec...

Crowell

Hmmmmm, whistling noises, there is a small probability it might be the color wheel that is not reaching its standard RPMs, either its baring is slightly out of place or there is something stuck inside. You might want to check it before buying anything else.

Crowell

Yup, that is a DMD board, the lamp produces white light of no light, I never heard of a lamp that creates black lines, a DMD board on the other hand, are known to produce black or white lines, and black or white dots, try and bring up the menu to see if those lines also affect the TV menu. If the me...

Crowell

It sound more like it’s the digital board, there are two peculiar things. First one is that once the color goes all crazy the remote doesn’t work. And second after unplugging it turning back on the picture is ok for a few moments. Those are symptoms of a failing digital board; my suggestion is to ch...

Crowell

Have you reset the lamp timer after installing the new lamp? Do you hear any strange noises coming from the back of the tv?

I posted a small guide a few weeks ago, here is the link. http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=988&p=3538&hilit=can+air#p3538 Now I know that the post was about another TV but almost all of the TVs are serviced the same. You don’t need to take any component out of its place, just ope...

Crowell

If you are very handy you could do it yourself, there are a number o guides online, but if you’re not sure I suggest you buy the ballast separately and have a technician you trust install it. Another recommendation is partstore.com. Good luck.

I have bought my 2 bulbs for my Samsung 61” tv at http://www.discount-merchant.com/ last time I checked and they lower the price for 104.05, when I bought mine last year they where 119.99, and they sell original Philips. If you don’t want to hassle with the lamp installation I suggest you buy the la...

Crowell

It sound like you bought a generic lamp, OSRAM might be the most decent generic lamp in the market, but generic is still generic my recommendation is to buy original Philips. Any way you might want to clean the inside of the tv (especially the fans) free of dust & mold, you see that tends to clog th...

Crowell

That sound that you hear, is it loud enough to hear it while you are watching the tv? Have you clean the inside free of dust & mold? Try to open the back again with the tv off and get to the color wheel, and start spinning it manually, see if you get that noise.

Crowell

Hmmmmm, when the screen goes dark, do you hear any strange noises coming from the back of the TV? After it comes back do you have any problem with the picture? Have you cleaned the inside of your TV in the last 6 moths? My first assumption is the lamp, that’s about to go, if you replace it and same ...

Crowell

That sounds like you haven’t reset the lamp timer. One you get it to turn on, bring up the tv menu and look for lamp timer, then reset it back to 0 hrs. Let us know if that worked for you.

Crowell

Well if it’s just a swollen capacitor you need to remove it and take it to a local electronics shop, and see if the have some spares you can buy. If you replace it and nothing happens then it might be a general board failure and you’ll have to buy a new one.
Good luck.

Crowell

Ok, let’s start by troubleshooting your problem. Have you ever changed the lamp? Have you cleaned the inside of the tv in the last 6 moths? Is there anything wrong with the picture when it briefly comes up? Do you hear any strange noises coming from the back of the tv? From the looks of it I think i...

Crowell

I think I know what the problem is. My first recommendation is to turn on the tv at night with no lights on, remove a side round panel (it’s a round service door with only a screw holding it.) and see if you can see a faint small dot of light in the middle of the screen. If there is one then its one...

Crowell

You see for the Samsung BP96-00823A there are two types of lamps. 1.- The big round, sealed lamp is called the E23. 2.- The small square front, with two ventilation holes called the E22. Now the place you purchased the lamp didn’t ask you which lamp you had in your enclosure. Now the way to fix this...

Crowell

Here are some places you can shop around for the color wheel, (personal recommendation, I bought mine at: http://www.discount-merchant.com/ ). http://www.samsungparts.com/ Just remember to search by part number, not by model number, its normally printed on the color wheel connector cable. Good luck.

Crowell

Ok, here come the questions. Before the TV went out. Did you have any problems with the picture? Have you cleaned the inside of the tv in the last 6 moths? I’m thinking that the soft whirring sound you hear is a color wheel that’s gone bad, that causes the tv to shut off, or a fan that is malfunctio...

Crowell

It sounds like you need to completely clean the back of you Tv free of mold & dust. Because it sound like you probably just moved dust around, thus still not solving you problem. Here are some instructions on the proper way to do it. Good luck. http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=98...

Crowell

Ok, here it goes, the TV you have is a DLP, it uses a lamp that produces a light slightly brighter than the sun. That lamp last about 4000 to 8000 hours depending on the brand (Philips is the best). Under normal usage that translates from 2 – 3 years, so normally when the lamp goes out, the DMD boar...

Crowell

Then it’s definitely the digital video board. Check the board for any swollen capacitors, they may look like these. http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1191&hilit=capacitors If you find any, replace them, if not then its probably a general failure of the board, and you’ll have to re...

Crowell

First recommendation, clean the inside of the tv completely free of dust & mold.
Second, if that doesn’t work replace the ballast, that constant clicking is symptom of bad ballast. Good luck.

Crowell

Hmmmm, ok, here are some questions. Do you hear any strange noises coming from the back of the TV? Have you cleaned the inside of the TV in the last 6 moths? Did you have any distortion with the picture before the tv died. It sounds like a problems with either the color wheel or the digital board, b...

Crowell

The prices are around 120 to 200 bucks. Try searching it by part number, not by model number; you see many models share the same type of board. Remember to look up the part number you have to physically take out the board. Good luck.

Crowell

I don’t think it’s the color wheel; it sounds more like the digital board, normally the color wheel problems are from blobs of some color, or a screeching whining sound. In this case there are none, and only one color is affected. Try to bring up the tv menu, see if its also affected, if not we can ...

Crowell

I also think you made the right decision, and you got a very sweet deal out of it. Hopefully it’s the ballast but just in case it doesn’t fix you problem you ma deen to replace your lamp, (some times when the ballast goes out, it takes the lamp with him).

Crowell

Negative, it’s the DMD board. From the symptoms you describe and the parts you replaced, that’s got to be it. It can’t be the color wheel, because the purple & white lines are not symptoms produce when it’s defective. Those are from a DMD board and a digital board. You already replace the digital. G...

Crowell

Have you reset the lamp timer after you replaced the lamp? Also there is a possibility it might be the thermostat. Also check that the lamp door is completely closed.

Crowell

have you checked the digital video board and looked at the capacitors? Here is a video of where it is in a samsung tv to give you an idea. (1:19 min)

Have you ever replaced the lamp? If yes, how long ago? Also did you reset the lamp timer after you replaced the lamp?

That sound like the digital video board. If you look at the back of your TV you’ll see the HDMI input, the computer monitor input, etc. that’s the board that’s going bad, first of all I recommend you take it out and look for any swollen capacitors, if any you’ll need to replace them, if not then a r...

Crowell

Try using a microfiber screen cloth, and pray some Windex (but no too much). Other than that you’ll be fine.

Crowell

Hmmmmm, that’s odd, ok if you turn on the tv right now, do you get those lines? If you do try to bring up the TV menu, if you are able to see it perfectly then it’s most definitely the analog board. If you can’t see the menu or its distorted in any way then it’s the DMD board. Hope this help you out.
