that's a problem with the DMD board :]

you need to replace it. You can either look for a DMD board or you can buy the full light engine

Jake

this is how you reset the lamp hour meter 1.- push and hold the PIP (same as play) button in the remote control 2.- push and hold the menu button on the front panel of the tv. 3.- Do both actions simultaneously. Of course you have to be close to the tv to do this: pointing with the remote at the sen...

FOOTBALL!!

Well dude, i have to say that the problem with your TV is with the ballast.

you have to replace it.

Jake

going from the power supply to the ballast should be 340-360 volts.

Regarding the cycle, thats a problem with the ballast.

Jake

you need to change the light engine.

Whats your TV MODEL?

if your TV is a DLP
Then the problem is with the projector. Its causing to blob some colors.

If your TV is a LCD rear projection.
Then your problem is with the optical block, most probably 1 of the LCD chips is stained.

Jake

hi there.... Well the only thing that you haven't change is the power supply... The path is LAMP --> BALLAST --> COLOR WHEEL --> DMD --> POWER SUPPLY Honestly I dont think the DMD is the problem and the only thing left like I said before is the power supply. My opinion is, change the power supply......

Jake

does it look like..a "fuzzy"/ blur line? or is it more like a well shaped vertical line?

If it looks fuzzy then the problem is with the light engine system, most probably on the part where the projector goes.

If its a well shaped and sharp vertical line, then is the DMD board.

Jake

The problem is with your Digital Video Board.

Jake

power supply

Your ballast should be receiving around 340-360 volts.

Try changing the power supply, if this doesn't work, then try changing the ballast.

Jake

Since you're able to see the menu with out a problem, the problem is with your analog board.

I think that just by replacing it theres a huge chance that your TV can work, if not then is going to be the digital video. But ill first try to change the Analog

Jake

For what you're explaining, it seems that you need to replace your ballast. This is a common symptom with Samsungs DLP TV's. Basically what is happening is: - Your TV is "turning" ON - Color wheel starts spinning up - Ballast will try to ignite the lamp....FAILED --TV restarts and try's again - Your...

Jake

Hey whats up, I just saw the video.

For what you're explaining, that you change the color wheel, replace the lamp...and now is giving you this problem; you need to replace the ballast.

Laters...

Jake

My recommendation is: First: Change the fans :D, if that doesn't work.... Second: Change the heat sensors, if that doesn't work... Third: Take your TV to a TECH, you can check here for options: (select your state and type your ZIP CODE) http://www.tvrepairpros.com/ If you don't have a clue of how to...

Jake

Regarding the screeching noise I can say that I'm 80% sure that thats a problem with your color wheel.

Regarding the C drive circuit, i really don't have an idea of what it could be.

Jake

It could be the ballast

Do you hear any constant clicking sounds?, any intermittent electrical buzzing sounds?

What TV model do you have?

Jake

well... The only thing that i can think about, is that it could be that you have a false contact. It could be the cables....but most probably with the digital/analog board. If you have this with the HDMI input...it could be probable that is not working properly, HDMI is great but is very very sensib...

Jake

Have you already change your lamp??? Lamps have a life span of 6,000 up to 8,000 hours of usage. Thats like 3-4 years. If you never changed your lamp before, i would suggest to start from there. If you already change your lamp and still doesn't work, it could be a problem with the ballast. Also big ...

Jake

In this kind of situations i would recomend to contact a tech, only and expert would be able to point you to the right direction.

Jake

Well it could be that the board was bad...

or...

Theres a chance that maybe that is not the real problem with your TV.

Regards

Jake

access the service menu (Your TV needs to be in Stand by mode) by pressing "Mute", 1, 8, 2, "Power". Select DDP1011 → TEST PATTERN → Press the right arrow key. Test all of the color patterns, if its still showing the blue pattern then your DMD board could be the problem.

Regards....

Jake

I don't want to be rude but i will recommend to get a new tv set...and avoid samsung D:

Jake

The order is:

power supply -> DMD -> Color wheel -> Ballast -> Lamp

For my opinion i would change the DMD board

Jake

Cool, thank you for the info dude. And yeah there's a huge difference, for what i know is that in some brands there's actually a time between the intervals of the flashing lights. i.e; 2 flashes, a 1 second pause, 2 flashes.... and they also have like 2 flashes, a half a second pause, 2 flashes...bo...

Jake

Well if you are having problems with the remote controls, most probably could be a problem with the Remote Sensor "board", maybe theres like a short circuit or something like that. I could be probable when you press any button is just sending a signal of turning of.

Hope this help

Jake

For what you are saying it seems that your problem is with your DMD board.

Jake

HDMI inputs might got burned out...

Jake

how i do everything is:

1 check the lamp...
2 check the ballast...

In case that by changing the ballast doesn't do the trick...ill change the hole light engine system

Jake

HDMI is the "thing" dude...it will give you a better resolution...

but...
check whats the Resolution that your computer has and the maximum resolution that your TV can handle.

me...personally ill go for the 1024 x 768

in case that my TV cant handle that reso. ill do 800x600

Jake

It could be the lamp....

Jake

ammm

ammm that cracling noise..did it sound like a spining grinding sound??? like..little pieces of glass where moving???

If the sound was like that, then the problem is with the color wheel...its broken

Jake

I dont think it could be the DMD board....

ill bet my money to the analog board...

Jake

mhhhhmmmm...oooo...k.

hahahaha...well its very nice to know that your TV is now working.

Jake

If you connect any other device, like DVD player, PS2 or something like that...does it give you the same problem? If you still have the same problem, then you're having a problem with you analog board. You have to replace it. In case that you connect any other "device" and it doesn't give you a prob...

Jake

I Agree. Since the DMD board is the one that "controls" the start up, it could be that is not working properly and is not "sending" the "go signal" to the color wheel, ballast, etc. I would recommend to change the DMD. Like I said, most probably just by replacing the DMD board is going to fix your p...

Jake

Excelente...i was just passing by for any updates...
Hope everything worked out just fine

If any other questions ill be around here.

Jake

Ok what i can recommend you is to display the menu. If your menu display doesn't have any problems that means that the problem, probably is going to be your DMD board. If not, then the problem is with the digital video board. Check that and if you can post some pictures of whats happening with your ...

Jake

Indeed, Service Manuals are very very helpful. The thing is that a lot of people dont like to spend 28-30 dollars on just a mere booklet. Whats a Service Manual??? Service Manual (SM) This service information manual consists of information necessary to maintain a product in good working order. This ...

Jake

The ballast its a 3 inches wide by 6 inches long board. It looks something like this: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h109/hexadecimal_2006/DSC08153.jpg I made a diagram of the setup between the lamp and the housing. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h109/hexadecimal_2006/Ballast.png as you can se...

Jake

For what i was reading the problem that you're having it might be in the analog video board. I was actually talking with a friend about this, ok the thing with the XBOX menu, When you display a menu on the screen basically it requires something around 32px to create that. When you put a movie or vid...

Jake

when you are having problems with colors and stuff like that and the problem is the color wheel...thats because the "disc" could be broken, decolorizing or maybe its cracked. when its buzzing constantly is a problem with the bearing of the color wheel. in other words...the color wheel its not spinni...

Jake

ammm you can check on... google or maybe on ebay.

maybe you can find there the color wheel that you need

Jake

I agree with NEhelp.... I had the same question, if you replace the LCD optical block. The reason is that when you buy the full light engine is basically the video board, the LCD optical block and light tunnel. If you bought the assembly without the optical block basically is going to be the same th...

Jake

OK! DUDE, sorry for the delay... ok power supply... how can you check it. Like i said before, if you think you can do it go ahead. 1.- check the fuse 2 check the voltage that your getting. AC 110/120V 3 check the outputs, they usually say whats the voltage that is going out. 5 volts, 10volts..etc. L...

Jake

mmmhmmm... When you turn your TV on, it turns on and then it shuts down??? If this happens...like a cycle, i.e; you turn on your TV, it turns on...then after 15-20 sec it turns off. The 3 lights from the panel flashes 3-4 times and it turns on again, if it does the same thing like before like 3-4 ti...

Jake

you need to buy the light engine for your TV.

the optical block is not sold separately. Check on Discount Merchant maybe they have it in-stock

Jake

Most probably you're going to change your lamp. If you replace the lamp and doesnt solve the problem, most probably the problem will be with your ballast.

Color wheel

Jake

Jake

Jake

thats a problem with the light engine. im not saying this is the one that you have, but this is only so you can have an idea. http://splinke.googlepages.com/3a-top.jpg/3a-top-full.jpg The main problem is with the LCD panels, with time this panels they wear off, they start losing color and they start...
