Any Successful Repairs?

Post by dallaswinn » Tue Jun 29, 2010 6:49 pm

I have been working on my Samsung 43" DLP tv for over a month now. First I replaced the lamp, then the color wheel, then the #2 fan and lastly the ballast. Still do not have a picture. . . . In reading through this forum, I see many, many people experiencing the same sounds, symptoms and picture (or not) that I have with my tv, and going through replacing the same parts, BUT, nowhere have I seen that this actually fixed anyone's tv. Is there anyone out there that's had any luck? I'm totally frustrated because I've spent almost enough to BUY a new large flat screen TV and still don't have one that works. . . . I keep thinking, well, this one more part will do it, but no, it still doesn't work. So, what now. . . . it's a very expensive 6 year old tv. I hate to dump it if indeed one more inexpensive part would have fixed it. I can't believe that this CANNOT be fixed!

most of the time this problem occurs when the ballast board is not sending the right voltage to the lamp.

Darkart77, The poster already stated he replaced the ballast.

Dallaswinn, The parts you have replaced were the most cost effective and logical. But at this point the issue may be a blown capacitor on a circuit board or other board component like a cracked solder connection. Replacing the boards gets expensive and you will most likely only find used ones. I understand your frustration and share you reasoning about wanting to salvage the TV, but unfortunately I think it's best to cut your loses, buy a new TV and sell that one for parts. Remember, while the TV was expensive 6 years ago, that is not what it is worth today and is considered old technology.
