Samsung DLP Buzzing
|
New member Username: EdiaaPost Number: 1 Registered: Oct-09 | Hey gang, I have a 4 year old Samsung HL-r5667w DLP. Recently it has begun buzzing a 10-15 seconds after the TV is turned on. It is coming from the left side of the TV and sometimes it is very loud and other times barely noticeable. The picture and sound are perfect. I have seen other posts that this may be the color wheel but could it also be the cooling fan for the bulb? Is there a way to test? Thanks for your help. |

Eventually it became a full time annoyance. I opened up and pulled the color wheel out. It had a ton of filth on it, so I cleaned it with a cue tip ( no liquids ) and it seemed to solve the problem, for awhile. It started happening agian, and last time I went to clean it out I did something, because now shading is off on my tv  Good luck, always worth a try before you replace. |

I ordered a color wheel, it arrived, and when I pulled the old one I found out that the company had sent an L6 drive instead of the L3 that I purchased. I cleaned everything up with a vacuum, put it all back together, and now the noise is completely gone. So, I am going to send the wrong one back and will wait for now. For those of you who have this noise problem but with no loss of picture, you might want to lightly vacuum the color wheel and its surroundings before you order or while you wait for your new one. |

I tried to replace my color wheel using the link from an older post (sept 23 2005) I got everything apart - I already purchased color wheel, went to unplug the color wheel plug (3 wires, 2 white, 1 blue) and all the wires pulled out!!!! The male plug is still attached to the female part in the outlet in the board. I've tried for an hour to gently pull out the plug without loosening it front he board using needle nose, tweezers, pocket Knife- no luck. There is another outlet under that one - nothing was plugged into it, do you think i can use that one? Could it be possible that samsung was generous enough to give us anouther outlet in the event this happened? |
