Thanks to everyone for their help and advice. Right now I think it's time to cut my losses and junk the set. -sigh-
I fault Samsung for their lack of integrity, re support & parts. Never again, though, promise.

Re: HLR4266WX/XAA color wheel replaced, no picture
Following up on my last update, I am no longer having any luck getting the tv to turn on. I suppose that whatever part was causing the previously sporadic failure, is now dead.

Thanks for your reply, Eddie.

HLR4266WX/XAA color wheel replaced, no picture
I have a Samsung HLR4266WX/XAA which refuses to work. Months ago the color wheel broke and I could hear a grating noise accompanied by significant vibration, but I followed the three-flashing-lights error code and changed the bulb, then the ballast, and only then, finally, removed the color wheel an...
