won't turn off WTF?
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2009 12:07 am
I have a 5063W Samsung and it's acting up. the bulb has been replaced and the color wheel last year. I've done all the work thanks to this forum...THANKS ALL!
here's the problem: it won't turn on until i unplug it and plug it back in...then the lamp light comes on the TV may or may not go thru the "3 try cycle". If the TV starts it can not be turned off with out unplugging it and the picture gets satuated during this senerio. next time i reset it (unplug it) it will work fine until next time i go through the above again. One of the kids tells me if you strike the TV during the first try it will come one (i hope i don't catch him) I really like the TV...But GEEEZ this things a pain in the A$$....
I'm thinking (by reading all the post and talking to the DM folks) it's the color wheel again.
BTW- my family turns this thing on in the morning and with a family of 8 (3-50 years old) it's midnight before it see's dark again...so it owes me nothing!
