Hello, this is a great forum! I have read many of the posts on the Samsung DLPs, I am amazed at the depth and breadth of this forum. Good job to the coordinators!!! :clap:
Here is my problem: Last week we noticed that our R5067W was humming louder then usual, I immediately ordered a new fan, thinking the bulb would go quickly since it sounded like the fan was having problems. This may not have been the problem???
I replaced the fan (the one behind the bulb); then the TV would not come on. After many hours of double checking every connection and reading the posts here: no joy. Anyway:
- the safety switch is enabled (as if cover was on),
- the green LED in the PCB module is on,
- I hear a clicking when the AC cable is plugged in, and one later after a while
- but no fans, no color wheel sound (or any other sounds) and
- the Timer & Standby lights are blinking after initial blinking of Lamp light(I rechecked fan connections).
- There is 300V at the ballast connection from the power supply (measured with a meter).
- There is ~4.5V at both fan connectors
- No obstruction to the fans,
- the bulb is not on.
The TV has never had color problems or any other type of problems other then what seemed like fan humming.
I don't want to spend ( :spend: ) $$$ on a blub or a color wheel or a new ballast until I know for sure one of these is the problem. Everything was working find before I replace the fan. :duh: I should have done some research before that but... :dontknow:
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
