I have a SAMSUNG HLR5667W that turns off after a few minutes, then i can press the power button and it comes back on. sometimes it shuts off again right away. after 2 or 3 minutes of turning it back on it stays on. I tried to read thru a bunch of posts and some are similar but not the same.

I think it is over heating? but it is not on long. I was thinking about replacing the ballast but there are none in stock at DM. Can i use a different ballast for my tv? A ballast for a different model? if so which ones?

any other suggestions?

thanks for you help

Are any of the lights blinking when it shuts off?

My HLR4667 acted the same way about a year after I got it (I have a different issue now). It would shut off by itself and I think three lights would blink, although I can't exactly remember the light sequence now. In the manual, the blinking lights indicated the the lamp door cover was open. The way I fixed it was very simple. I unscrewed the lamp cover (four screws on my unit) and worked the door switch (green on my unit) back and forth a few times, and then reseated the cover. Worked as designed for two or three years until the new issue popped up.

Hope this helps.

yes there are 3 red lights blinking on the bottom of the circle button.

Check you manual to see what those lights mean. May be as easy as reseating the door cover.

Good luck.

Manual? what the heck is that?

i don't have 1 to be honest.

took the back off, cleaned it out a bit. Reset the lamp counter, i did turn it on while the back was open to listen and look. I heard the ballast buzz a bit upon boot up but went away after 2 or 3 seconds. all fans were turning. Watch tv for about an hour with no shut down. I will test again tonight.

Just an update.

Since resetting the lamp meter and cleaning out the dust it has not shut down.
