Hello electropor2gee, I would assume it depends on the experience, it sounds like you have both played around and own smaller remote controlled helicopters? There are some that have more features like the ability to sway horizontally like the Lutema Avatar (see link below) it has two extra propeller...

I ordered a chopper directly from the Lutema website and it is so much fun!!! drives my cat insane!!! The RC connection is great and the controls are very realistic. The battery has a more than decent lifespan and it can take a couple of spills (luckily some "popular" spare parts are included ) I ha...

Hey @grayfox I am interested in getting some of these rechargeable speakers for my iPad, since the stock speakers are not that loud. I called their website and apparently they have an auxiliary input (the more economic non bluetooth ones). So I will be ordering one to use with my iPad and Galaxy not...

I purchased one online at Lutema.com it is a mid sized, probably not the huge one you wanted, it works great! now I want a bigger one to carry my GoPro camera and get some crazy shots!

rougeleader

hi,
it could be that the color wheel bearing is starting to grind, i suggest you remove the back cover and turn the TV on, and try to pinpoint the source of the sound
if its coming from just beyond the lamp, i would say its a color wheel issue!

rougeleader

Are you hooking up the Wii to the back of the TV or on the side pannel?
you could have accidentally unplugged the board when you replaced the Color wheel!

Hi, Good afternoon well white dots are a know issue with Mitsubishi, DMD (Digital Micro-Mirror Device) or DLP (Digital Light Processor) chip is failing. The DMD is has hundreds of thousands of tiny movable mirrors. Each white spot is a stuck mirror. Each mirror is a pixel. Sometimes a stuck mirror s...

hi,
have you tried by pushing "enter" on TV & mute on remote at the same time.
that worked on my set

rougeleader

hi
well if the TV is a few year old (3+) this may be a ballast issue, give this a read:

hope this helps!

rougeleader

hi, very good description by the way!!
to me it seems that we are now facing a ballast problem, due to the clicking. I suggest you read this:
http://www.fixya.com/support/r3556856-h ... or_ballast

i hope this helps

rougeleader

well, when you say a glow, do you mean like a LED light or more like a red hot glow???
if you could get pictures of the issue or maybe post a video on youtube, that would help a lot!!!

rougeleader

hi and welcome!
well i think this might be more of a ballast issue then a lamp, id be a good idea to read this so you can be more informed:

i hope this helps!!

rougeleader

hi, welcome!!!
hey thanks for the video, it helps a lot!

to me that high pitch squeal is due to you color wheel bearing wearing out and starting to grind, but you replaced it last year you said?
did you get a new part or a refurbished one?

rougeleader

well it seems that you may have several issues here: 1)if the cable setting and all other non digital inputs dont work (eg, coax input, rca input, and air antenna input) you may have a faulty analog board (what the analog board does is take a non digital signal and translates it to digital so the di...

rougeleader

hi,
this might be an issue with your ballast, i recommend you read this:
http://www.fixya.com/support/r3556856-h ... or_ballast

hope this helps

rougeleader

hi, yeah it seems that is a common issue with mitusbishi and samsung, the best way to look for the item is using the part number that is printed on the board it self, if you cant find anything at a reasonable cost you can have it rebuilt, or if you have moderate soldering skills you can fix it, look...

rougeleader

hi, welcome
i doubt the issue might be a power supply board, if it was, i doubt the TV would power on at all!
the issue most likely is the Ballast board

rougeleader

Hi, yeah that definitely sounds like a color wheel issue, what happened is that the bearing wore out and its grinding, this is the correct replacement:

hope this helps!

rougeleader

ok the issue may depend on the type of buzzing sound that you get!

if it sounds more like a mechanical screeching sound you may have an issue with the color wheel in your tv

if you more like an electrical surge sound you might have a problem with the Ballast (the board that powers the lamp)

rougeleader

have you taken out the lamp to see if its popped?
some times the lamps explode and the electrodes are close enough that they arch, like a tazer and that causes a buzzing sound!

rougeleader

you can by pass just by splicing the two wires, its is only a switch

rougeleader

hi,
yeah the most likely cause of that sound is a grinding bearing in the color wheel, most people dont realize ho fast the color wheel spins, it goes upwards of 9,000 rpms

rougeleader

hi, welcome!
a bulb does not affect colors, if you are having color issues its generally affected by the color wheel! you might want to look in to that!

rougeleader

Hi Welcome!

well according to Samsung's database:
http://www.samsungparts.com/partslist.a ... 67WX%2fXAA

you could go ether way, i would suggest sticking to the original part you have there!

rougeleader

Greetings, since you just purchased a lamp the most likely cause of your problem is NOT the lamp. If that were the case the lamp would not start at all. What is happening is that you have a weak ballast power circuit. It was able to power the older lamp because it required less current and because a...

rougeleader

Hi, Welcome!

usually loud humming noises and color trouble are dead give a ways for color wheel issues!

i would suggest taking of the back cover and checking for pieces of a broken color wheel!

rougeleader

hi, welcome!
yeah, that means that your TV has 4785 hours under its belt, and if you reset the timer it will go down to 0, but this really does not affect it in any way except for the lamp replacement indicator!

hope this helps

rougeleader

Wow, i never knew it was such a hassle to talk to mitsubishi!
well, good luck, hope they come to their senescence and keep us posted!

rougeleader

hi, welcome!
this is interesting, so when the right half of the screen goes dark, is the other half ok? crisp and clear image?? or does it pixel-ate or distort in any way?

if you can, could you please post a picture of the issue? that would help a lot!

rougeleader

Hi,
well the most obvious question i can ask is, have you taken out the lamp? does it look burnt, misshapen, smoked or shattered?
If the lamp looks ok, typically it is ok and there might be a different issue with the TV. I.E. the ballast!

hope this helps!

rougeleader

Hi, welcome!
sometimes the switches get damaged due to heat exposure, so its not unheard of that they go bad!

it would be a good idea to do a continuity test with a volt meter so we can be sure that switch works!

rougeleader

Hi, welcome!! ok, how long does the TV stay on before it shuts off? if its on for less than a couple of min, i doubt it could be a heat issue, it may be a ballast issue! or does the TV last more than 5 min then it shuts off? if that is so, that may be a temp issue, to rule that out i suggest you rem...

rougeleader

hi, welcome!
id recommend you go over you installation one more time and put close attention to your connections, you would be surprised how the obvious things get overlooked! how old was that previous lamp you had? if it was over 3 years old it is highly likely that the lamp did go also!

rougeleader

After replacing the lamp, there might be issues with your ballast (the circuit board that powers the lamp) i recommend you read this:
http://www.fixya.com/support/r3556856-h ... or_ballast

rougeleader

Well by far the most common issue is with the lamp, its the consumable item in side the TV! but since you replaced that already im inclined to say you may be having issues with the ballast is your TV (its the circuit board that powers the lamp) i recommend you read this: http://www.fixya.com/support...

rougeleader

yup, this is the correct lamp, just make sure you get a philips!

http://www.discount-merchant.com/Samsun ... 1&CartID=0

rougeleader

well, with my experience id say that the issue is the color wheel specially if you have heard it whine before!
just to be on the safe side id check the ballast make sure everything is working fine!

rougeleader

Hey, Thanks that is a good tip!
