Big Problem with Samsung DLP HLN46W

New member Username: Nativtxn53Keller, TX Post Number: 6 Registered: Aug-06 | I posted before about this problem I'm having with my DLP. It was suggested I vacumm and check the fans since it appeared the DMD Board was overheating. I did this and it worked for a while but now it's worse than ever. Here is a link to YouTube which shows exactly what's happening. Watch for picture "flashing". Also, the pic is very dark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIQ1AvsfwEI |

Heat damage can be prevented, but cannot be reversed. I think there is an upgraded digital board for that model. Call 1-800-SAMSUNG, prompts 2, 1, 3, 1 and do your best to get past the first level of support. Explain the flashing and mention the upgraded digital board. If you are very persistent they may offer the part and/or the labor. They have helped other original owners out of warranty. Good luck! http://www.samsungparts.com/part_detail.asp?oldpart=BP94%2D00502W&catalog%5Fname =Parts+and+Accessories&category%5Fname=&product%5Fid=BP94%2D00385A&search%5Fmode l=HLN467W |
