Good info! My RCA HD61WLP52 suddenly lost the red. Everything else is fine - brightness, no noise from colour wheel… All the standard settings are normal. I have seen no postings on the net re:colour loss. Any idea on the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thx

I have an RCA hdlp50w151 which kinda did the same thing. Picture jumping, fuzzy colors then settle down for a while. Figuring the color wheel was going (no whining or noise though) pulled the back off and took out the wheel assembly for inspection. Carefully cleaned the unit (not touching the wheel with bare hands) and placed one drop of lubricant, I dont remember what kind but was very light, on the motor shaft. reinstalled everything and have not had a problem since. This may not cure your problem but thought I would pass it on. By the way, I do have a backup wheel, just in case…
