First I would like to say thanks for the website and the forums. I have spent the last three hours reading other posts trying to narrow down my problem.
Problem: Viore RPT50V24D, have been told it's made by Samsung and will need Samsung parts. The tv powers up and then shuts down after about 15 seconds, get picture and sound, three lights start flashing timer, lamp, standby/temp on the power button before the tv powers down then they stay on after that.
Doing research on this site and with the manufacturer most likely problem is the lamp. So I took the back panel off turned the tv on and the lamp works prior to tv shutting down. Called manufacturer and they said it's the color wheel, don't think so because I here that power up and hum and I get picture.
Before I get to deep into this I just wanted some advice. After reading numerous threads I don't want to keep buying parts the tv doesn't need. I am thinking it's the ballast???
Could it still be the lamp even though it lights up prior to tv shut down?
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance!!!!
