I have a samsung DLP 61". When I tried to turn it on last night, it made a very loud Fan Noise and the color was very faint...more like a black and white picture. Since the noise was so loud, I turned the TV off immediately because it sounds very bad like it might seize up. I turned the TV on and off like 3 times hoping it would correct itself. How do I Fix?

Re: Samsung DLP. Very loud noise??
99% sure is your color wheel. Replacing it should solve that issue.
Hope this helps.

Re: Samsung DLP. Very loud noise??
I also had the loud Buzz noise. Very much unlike a bearing issue. It turned out to be a broken color wheel. Pieces of colored glass within the lamp shroud from the color wheel. I replaced the color wheel but now I have two distinct lines running diagonally from the top right screen to the bottom left. Also bottom left of screen is a rectangle of the same shadowy lines that the diagonal lines are of. The lines and rectangle appear as shadows mostly in light background views. The color is good on the set, the color wheel must be spinning, but these lines persist. I have removed the projection unit and shaken it out to remove any other broken glass from the old color wheel, but that did not change or eliminate this problem. It appears to be in the projection pathway. Help....
Re: Samsung DLP. Very loud noise??
I found the problem.... I disassembled the photometer unit again, removed the new color wheel and looked down the light path aperature to find that the mirror pathway had collapsed into the light path. What I saw was exactly the lines and rectangle I saw on the screen. I removed the housing for this mirrored light path and found that this four piece mirror path had come apart. I am in the process o epoxying it back together, but I am certain this is the problem now.
