HLR6167WAX/XAA Digital board problems

**Jason1976** · **09-09-09, 01:08 AM**

I think there is an option to flip the picture in the service menu. I forget were it's at but I saw it when I was looking the one day.

thats good that the fix worked for little bit. It let you know what was wrong, without ordering something and finding out it didn't fix the issue.

You may also need to change the engine setting, flip the image, then try transferring the data.

Fix didn't hold for me either. This may be for another thread, but anyone know what a decent price to ask for this thing as a parts box? I figured with the other parts and the fact one tv is still working with HDMI fine means I should be able to get around $300 for the 50" and $350 for the 56".

I had to order 5 brand new LED LCD Samsung TV's for work over the last 3 months and 2 of them had to be sent back for replacements due to various issues. This in addition to both my Samsung DLP's going out means I'm done with Samsung.

I normaly see them selling broken for about 50 to 100 dollars on ebay. you maybe better off to take the parts out yourself and sell them as working parts on ebay. even thoe your hdmi is still working it's only a matter of time until the board fully fails and the tv won't power up. I paid 50 dollars for my samsung 50" as a broken tv.

to give you an idea here is a guy trying to sell a 50" for 200 dollars and he is now taking best offer just to get rid of it. http://baltimore.craigslist.org/ele/1362616620.html

here is one were someone says it just needs a lamp in tampa fl and they want 135 dollars

Tried a few different methods with the clamp with various results. First attempt seemed good for 4~5 hours, then the symptoms returned. Tried with various amounts of pressure, and even used a semiconductor heat spreader to go flush against the mold cap of the DNIe chip, along with the corners of the package substrate. I was optimistic this approach would work...but it got even worse (picture constantly froze, and went in and out, rendering the remote control completely useless). I prayed to the TV gods that removing the clamp altogether would at least return my picture to a semi-watchable state again. Turns out it did. After removing the clamp, my HL-R5067W has gone 3~4 hours without acting up yet. I'm sure my problems will resurface again somewhere down the line. Then I might invest in a replacement digital board if the TV becomes completely FUBAR'd.

**lcaillo** · **09-10-09, 09:57 PM**

Mine stopped working, too. Actually, it went back to the green, distorted image that was one of the symptoms. I think the best way to consider the pressure mod is as a troubleshooting technique to isolate the problem to the digital board. As I suspected, it is simply not a long term fix.

Hi All,

I would just like to reply to this and say that I have had great success with this fix. I have a 3.5 year old HL-R5067W that suffered from the green distorted picture problem described in the first post. So far so good. The television has been running flawlessly for a week now, and I must say it is nice to have back. It has been sitting in the basement for almost 4 months.

I do have one thing to note. When I put everything back together to test, I did not feel like putting the back cover on. It turns out there is switch to verify that the lamp cover is in place. If this switch is not actuated, the television will turn on (and show a picture) for about 10 to 20 seconds and then shut off. The lamp and standby lights will be blinking to indicate this. I simply taped it down for a couple days until I got around to putting the back panel back on. See the link below to locate the switch, there are some pictures to help.

I will keep an eye on this board. Much Thanks

most likely the fix wont last. ( most of us had it work for a few days to a week or two then they start acting up again. the good thing is it helped you find out it's the digital board and it can be ordered from www.samsungparts.com after you return the old board for a core charge it cost about 188 dollars. I say keep using it until it starts acting up again. just in case the fix will keep working for you.

**Jason1976** · **09-14-09, 08:49 AM**

boy does this post have a lot of hits. looks like a lot of people with this issue. not every one is a do it yourself kind of person. there are not many people that do things themself. there could easyly be 100's of thounds of these sets broken with this issue.

**lcaillo** · **09-14-09, 05:07 PM**

Jason, please do not throw numbers like that around. It is pure speculation and things get taken as fact on the internet when they are really just casual comments.

There are a lot more people who research service problems themselves these days, even if they do not try to fix them themselves. Easily a third of my clients have done some form of research before calling for service. It is impossible to put numbers on these matters, however. Many of the hits are Everyone who ever bought a SLP RPTV will have a lamp to replace and many will research the problem before deciding to buy a lamp. I have seen many times that when a pattern of problems becomes apparent, people jump to lots of unfounded conclusions.

true but I am guessing there are a lot more then what we hear about with this issue. true a number can't be put on it. ( I just wish I new how many digital boards were being sold ) that would give you more of an idea. if a 3rd are calling you it makes you wonder how many people hear the cost of repair and just throw them out. like the guy on here that has the 50" and the 56" and they both have the same issue. that kind of tells you something when you have two of them and they both come up with the same issue. there are things I repair and as soon as I see it I know what to check out because I have seen a lot with the same issue. my mom had 3 vcr's of the same model. they all had the same issue in time. they all died within 2 years of each other. all ended up being a tranzister in the power supply. my grandma and my 2 aunt each had one too. they got them on sale. They also had the same issue. I used to repair vcr's when I was going to my high school vo-tech before I went to devry inc. I used to repair a lot of vcr's there were a lot of the same issues. like the one kind normaly had issues with the mode switch. a lot of brands used the same switch and that was common. and the hlr**67w is known for digital board issues. if you go onto cnet forums almost every few days you see people with this issue.

it's kind of like emachines and gateway computers having power supply issues and when they burn out they normaly kill the motherboard. when I worked at the computer repair shop we saw about 20 of them a week come threw with the same issue and there are more repair shops in the area it just made me wonder how many of them were failing a day. a lot of people don't know that emachines and gateway are the same company. It didn't matter the model number of computer. They all used the same brand of power supply. bestec. we were selling that brand also and stopped when we had a lot coming back.

**lcaillo** · **09-14-09, 10:38 PM**

There is obviously a common failure mode here. The point is that we really don't know the numbers and speculation does no one any good. Let's try to stick to the facts and not add to hysteria.

**samudj01** · **09-20-09, 08:39 PM**

I have a 46" with the same type problems. I was escited about this fix and took it apart today and put in the clamp. I put it back together and I can't get it to work. When I turn on the tv it powers up well and I can see the menus (I do still have the green screen) but after about 2-5sec it turns off and the lamp and temp/stand-by lights flash constantly. They will also flash if I plug in the unit and wait for a few seconds. Thoughts??? Also, before taking it apart, HDMI still worked, however the screen would just go black and then power back up sometimes. Any thoughts on this?

**lcaillo** · **09-20-09, 09:48 PM**

The nature of many of these problems seems to be bad connections on the BGA type DNIE chip. Adding pressure may help, or too much could maybe make it worse, it is hard to know. Verify your work and make sure that you got everything back where it belongs and did not damage nor leave any connections unfinished. There are some connectors that can be placed in the wrong location.

**cheno17** · **09-21-09, 02:43 PM**

I just took my Samsung DLC hlr5667 in for repair and they said the digital mainboard needs to be replaced. It will cost me what I paid for the tv. Has the fix for putting pressure on the DNIE chip worked for most people and if so can anyone provide better pictures as to where exactly the chip is? The repair shop said that fix will only work for a couple of times and then it will stop working again, I don't know if they are just trying to get me to paid the 400 to fix it or what. The issue we were having is the TV would turn on and then shut off 30 seconds later. It would never stay up long enough to do anything. Anyone else have this issue? If so, how did you fix it! I appreciate any help - we are kind of desperate here to save some money!

**Jason1976** · **09-21-09, 04:07 PM**

so far it hasn't worked long term. You can replace the digital board yourself. and it cost 188 dollars after the 50 dollar core charge. and it can be bought from www.samsungparts.com . the hardest part is setting things up in the service menu if you don't know what you are doing. but if you take your time most figure it out. I was thinking of making a youtube video showing people how to remove the digital board. If I had my new board I would make a youtube video showing people how to set things up in the service menu.

**samudj01** · **09-21-09, 06:53 PM**

Does anyone know what the tv is trying to tell me when it shuts down and flashes lamp and temp/standby constantly. Otherwise my tv fires up well and the picture looks good. It just won't stay on anymore

it could be over heating. have you opened it up and cleaned the fans. to get to the light engine fan you have to remove the light engine. there is also a fan on the dmd board and a fan over by the digital board. other things can make this happen too. like bad solder joints. could be anything to tell the true. I have heard of bad lamps doing this also. were they turn on but after so long they turn off.

**lcaillo** · **09-21-09, 09:23 PM**

According to the manual it needs a lamp, IIRC. Have you checked the meaning of this state in your manual?

I too have the hrl5067 samsung dlp tv. It was working fine till I decided to use the tv as powerpoint viewer at my sons Cub Scout meeting on tuesday. I noticed that when I got there and powered it up that there was green patchwork showing on the screen. Once I plugged into the pc connection the tv worked fine. Brought the tv back home and reconnected all the inputs and both tuners (cable and ant.) and all the other extra components back up. I got the same green patchwork with Cable, Ant, Video 1&2. The inputs for PC, HDMI, and Video 3 all work fine. Am I going to have to order this digital board that I hear everyone talking about? or is this a different issue? When I watch an HD video feed the green is not as noticeable but is still there.

Any suggestions
Thanks
Mark Cotter

**lcaillo** · **09-25-09, 02:28 PM**

Probably the digital board.

most likely the digital board. it should be part number BP94-02084A but it's always good to open the set and check the part number on the board. It can be bought from www.samsungparts.com we have seen this issue before and after those people replace the digital board their tv's were working fine again.

**cottermark** · **09-25-09, 10:32 PM**

I tried the code to get into service mode but it didn't seem to work. is there some secret that i'm not doing?

Just make sure the tv is fully off before entering the code and pressing power. make sure the tv isn't in the cool down mode. just am fyi there is nothing in the service menu to fix the green plaid screen.

**cottermark** · **09-26-09, 09:32 AM**

I know, just wanted to get into the setting and write them down so that when I get the new board I can set it up. How much setup is required when putting in the new board?

P.S. At least the kids can still play the xbox using the side input (video 3). and watch the HDMI dvd player.
