New member Username: Rdb999Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-07 | Hoping someone can help me diagnose what the issue I'm having is. When turning on the set, it plays the power-on noise, I hear the fans spin up, but then I hear a loud "buzzing noise" for maybe 1 second. About 10-15 seconds later, the buzzing noise repeats. Total of three times before powering down and flashing the three lights on front. At no time does screen come on - it is simply three sets of buzzing and waiting and then powering down. Do you think it is just the bulb or could it be ballast or other? Any help insight would be appreciated! Thanks. Ross |

I'm curious though if you have two problems...A bad lamp (blinking lights and no display) and a defective color wheel (loud whining noise). Per others on the board, Samsungparts.com has the best price on the color wheel and discount-merchant.com has the best price on the lamps http://www.discount-merchant.com/Samsung-HLM437W1X-OEM-Replacement-LAMP-BULB-p/s amsung-bp96-00826a-lamp.htm&Click=1466 Good luck.
