so I'm at a loss for words my tv has been messed for a few months and dead for a week so I pulled it apart to check boards for bad caps or to check for a burnt smell I found nothing was kinda freaked out by taking the dmd board off but did anyway but I put it back together pluged it in and bam it wo...

hey guys if I buy a new Light Engine will the dmd board come with it? I saw some where that some one said it did and the fine folks at dm said that my issue is most likely one of the two but if the dmd board comes with the Light Engine it would Make sense to just pay the 100$ more and get them toget...

so like allways DM got back to me realy fast said it was most likely the light engien or the dmd board anyone else have some input befor I make up my mind

this is a long story but to make it short I replaced the lamp about a year ago the colorwheel went out this summer and a bit after that the picture went to crap looked cartoonish, paint by numbers but would still work most of the time and with how little money I have right now it was watchable but i...

I did same thing found it after flipping out for a few min

The picture looks kind of like a cartoon when it happens would the colorwheel do that? I don't know how to explain it I will try to get a pic next time and if it is a colorwheel problum will dm replace it?

I think is a hln467w I will check when I get home I was thinking maybe power from what I had read it has a newer bulb 9 months old or so and a new colorwheel but the brightness has to be way high

I replaced my colorwheel and like a day or so later the tv starts doing some strange things it will work great and at random the picture will go bad like realy low detail and bad shadding with a green tint kinda like a cartoon there is another topic named what part to buy with a picture that looks a...

Happy for you sad for me I just replaced mine and right after I did is when mine started doing this it is doing it more and it's random and when I turn the power of the sound stops but the pic won't turn off I have to unplug if yours starts acting up pet me know

When the picture gets like that will the tv turn off? I justchanged mycolor wheel and now minehas done something like this 3 times and it won't turn off when it happens. It kinda looks like a drawing or a cartoon like the HD shading what ever is F-ed up but I don't know what it is so if you find out...

Update the review I used said sears was the cheapest I told you about the service I got from them and now I have even more great news from them I checked my bank and they ended up charging me today for the colorwheel after I had allready talked to a manager and was told they wouldn't charge me and c...

Have you left yourtv on withsomething paused for along time? I used to deliver tv's for ultimate electronics and this was something we hadto warn people about I never saw it but they told us that is could happen and if you put your aspect on normal with the grey bars down the side

Ok I did it and it works yaaaaaaay this was realy not hard the only 2 problums I had 1. The light door swith that I tried to unplug that didn't unplug so I soldered it back together and it works 2. The ribon wire from the colorwheel I plugged it in backwards and freaked out when it didn't turn on bu...

Yay it came today I just opened the box and looked at it some of the segments on the wheel have a larger gap then the others is this normal?

So I placed an order with searspartsdirect.com and that was a bad idea their web site said they had the colorwheel in stock and I had found a cupon code for 10% off so I had it overnighted to me but i checked the shipping info today and it said that the colorwheel was now on back order so I called a...

Sounds dumb but try looking to make sure everything got pluged back in and that the plugs are seated tight and the timer sometimes the little things get overlooked in all parts of life
