Hey,

I have a Samsung DLP rear projection TV. Model Number HLR5067WAX/XAA . When i try to power it on the "LAMP" lights up in green on the front power button. Nothing comes up on the screen and there is a loud whirring sound. No sound or picture ever comes up. Then it will go back to standby. Is this just a bulb problem?

Thanks
FERG

Well, I have been having the above listed problem for the last month or so. I had made several attempts at powering it up with no success. It has been sitting unplugged for a month now. I plugged it in today to verify what was wrong just prior to posting above. Now it powers on and the screen comes up. I can see the menu but the image is weak looking and flickers. The loud whirring noise is still present. any thoughts? Thanks in advance for you help!

Loud whirring is possibly a color wheel, the rest sounds like a bad lamp.

Thanks for the quick response.

Bad bulb? Even though it now turns on? Would a bulb still work intermitently if its bad?

Just to help settle my mind before I buy parts. What are the indicators for a bad light engine?

How can I test for a bad color wheel to be sure before I buy one?

Intermittent lamps happen all the time. If you get a lamp LED lit the first thing to try is the lamp. I have them if you need them.

How much?
The lamp Number I have is BP96 00826A (P)

I'd prefer the one with the case

NEVERMIND: I found it on the shacks webpage. Cheaper than others!

Where are you getting it, how much, and what is the warranty?

**FERG** · **06-30-09, 07:01 PM**

Through the hometheatreshack.com for $99 and it doesn't say anything about warranty.

Who is the vendor? Is this a LTI replacement or an original Philips or Osram lamp? These are important questions if you want to be sure to get the right part. You should understand that you are not buying from Home Theater Shack but are being referred to another vendor through HTS.
