Can't pinpoint sound coming from HL-S5686W
My 4 year old HL-S5686W began making a sound very similar to if you were to twirl a CD on a hard surface before it slows down and does its last few wobbles. Almost like a CD in a load CD player or a load hard drive. Last month I replaced the lamp after the picture became very dim, however this sound was present before that issue. The color is great, so I'm wondering if it could even be the color wheel? The sound in question fluctuates between hardly noticable to load enough to hear across a 15ft room with the volume at 10-15. When I turn the TV off the sound is present until the TV finishes it's "cool down" period, usually about 15 seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This sound is driving us crazy...

hi,
it could be that the color wheel bearing is starting to grind, i suggest you remove the back cover and turn the TV on, and try to pinpoint the source of the sound
if its coming from just beyond the lamp, i would say its a color wheel issue!
