I am pleased to inform you that my TV went all weekend without going half black. And I watched a lot of TV. I suppose the new DMD board may malfunction again in the future, but I am happy now.

When he replaced the digital board he had to disconnect all of the cables and remove the bottom part. Yesterday he removed the top panel and removed the unit with the light to replace the DMD board. BTW, I watched for four hours last night without the TV going half black. Let's hope that was the fix.

OK. The tech got here a day early and replaced the entire DMD board. So, apparently, the digital board and the DMD board are different. Watching the TV, waiting for the hour to expire and the black screen to reappear. Will let you know.

My contact is the service tech himself. He is a Samsung employee. I am reluctant to make any suggestions. I would like for them to find out for themselves that there probably is not a fix. Then, I would hope that they would replace the TV. And technically, it is under warranty since Samsung agreed t...

UPDATE: A Samsung technician replaced the digital board on Thursday. Guess what...still get the half black screen. They are coming out tomorrow (Friday) to replace another part. I am guessing the light engine, though we will see. I am very curious to see how this concludes.

It is not encouraging that you had your unit supposedly fixed and it continues to go half black. Anyway, we will see.

I sent my letter to:

Mr. Chang-Soo Choi, President
Samsung Electronics America
105 Challenger Rd.
Ridgefield Park NJ 07660

I sent via overnight delivery.

I have the half screen issue. I wrote a letter to the president of Samsung America.After a week I received a call. They agreed to fix my TV which is out of warranty on Tursday, June 15. Will keep you updated.
