I have a 3 year old Samsung dlp there is a spot on the screen that appears to be pure light or a bright white spot on the screen. The guy at Samsung said it might be dust on a mirror. I have a repair man comming on friday but if its dust it wont be covered in the extended warranty I know dlp-s don't have pixels if any one has experience with this problem please let me know.
Sure! Take the back off and start with the brushy attachment to your vac hose. Clean everything. Then, remove the lamp housing and check the mirror and lens. Use a soft lint free cloth to gently wipe the surfaces.
Hi Bob,It seems to be a much more serious problem in my tv than in Josh and fyi's sets. The service company told me that I needed a new "light engine" and they would have to take it to there shop for a week "big job; AS HE PUT IT. I don't know for sure if they are hust screwing the warranty company. But i'd be just as happy as a fly in @#$% if they told me not to fix it and cut me a check for the purchase price. Which is a possibitity I got my sammy for $3009 and when I see now what I can get for 3 grand (NEW 60 INCH LCOS)it makes me sick . take care Bob i hope everything works out ,Darren
Yeah they told me the same thing several weeks after I purchased mine. They sent out a tech to swap out the light engine. He opened up the set swapped out the light engine and it had the exact same dot on the screen.... we then found a little spec of what looked to be styrofoam packing stuck to the mirror. Cleaned it up and it was fine. So dont shell out the $1300 unless you rule out that the mirror is dirty.
