Re: HLN617W1X/XAA Picture flickers, fades, shuts down
Ovadoggvo, We had another successful day -- I think! With the back off the set I used a length of PVC like a stethoscope to listen to the two fans and color wheel area. The color wheel area was noisy and I didn't want to disassemble everything so I reached in and started wiggling wires with the set ...

Re: HLN617W1X/XAA Picture flickers, fades, shuts down
I've been thinking some more about the process necessary to troubleshoot the hum. Is there a safe way to take off the back and isolate the noise with the set turned on? I'm not relishing the idea of having to completely disassemble everything so I can access the color wheel. It would be nice if I co...

Re: HLN617W1X/XAA Picture flickers, fades, shuts down
It's too late today to restart the project so I'll have to put it off for a day or two. I was extremely nervous, and therefore extra careful, during the whole repair process so I am going to be surprised if it's a wire routing or seating problem but I will report whatever I find. Thanks for the input.

Re: HLN617W1X/XAA Picture flickers, fades, shuts down
Ovadoggvo, We have a new development. The TV seems to be performing OK but last night we realized we heard a hum that wasn't there before the repair. I'm assuming it must be originating with the color wheel since that's the only moving part I've tinkered with. If so, is there anything I can do to el...

Re: HLN617W1X/XAA Picture flickers, fades, shuts down
Ovadoggvo, The color wheel arrived this morning and seems to have solved the problem. The set performed perfectly for a couple of hours and I turned it off for an hour or so I ran some errands. It has now been back on for several hours and it continues to look great. Thank you for your help. HarryC

Ovadoggvo,
The color wheel was ordered and should arrive today or tomorrow. A physical examination of the old color wheel didn't reveal any damage but I will install the new color wheel when it arrives and see if it solves the problem.

HLN617W1X/XAA Picture flickers, fades, shuts down
After reading a bunch of posts I suspect my problem concerns the color wheel but I'm looking for confirmation or guidance if I'm wrong. I own an almost 5 year old HLN617W1X/XAA. We had to replace the lamp several months ago (yes the replacement was a Philips). Other than that the set has worked perf...
