if there is a tech out there perhaps i canemail you a couple of photos of the line issues as i can't upload photos here,pressing upload but nothing is happening
I'm no expert: It looks, however like 1 of 2 things. Either: the DLP chip itself is defective....not very likely... or The circuitry driving the chip has a problem.
I don't think a color wheel or lamp problem could produce such an effect.
DLP is a Pain in the XXX. Since this is an older set without even an HDMI input, I'd simply junk it out and get something newer with such inputs and full 1080 resolution. It won't 'stay' fixed, either. The color wheel is prone to failure and the part has been thru many revisions to try to help. Lamp wiring is another problem. I'm less than clear on this, but many people replace ballast boards as a result of hi-resistance connections frying the board...... Cooling fans of which there are 3 or 4 may also clog with lint and the set'll cook. You should be able to replace the set for 700$ in the same size plasma.
these actually have 1 hdmi and 1 DVI input,had someone come over o look a and he says its 175.00 fix but not sure i will fix because its also very due for a lamp wich s the original at 8 years old ! so already its costing to cost me 325.00 may be going for a led soon
Yes, at some point it is good to cut your losses and simply junk out a money sink set.
However, if you do some reading about TVs...the current 'thin' stuff, you'll find numerous threads complaining about ALL of the LCD/LED stuff. Sony even had a few catch on FIRE. They are dodging the issue. Just my opinion, but the most reliable sets are some of the Plasma sets. My Panasonic is great. Good black levels and mostly bright enough.
Even my lower end Panasonic has 3 HDMI inputs, 2 USB inputs, the ability to connect to my network (option) but has sacrificed some of the 'legacy' connections.
actually i plan on buying a pan TC-L55ET5 Led or maybe a samsung 6500 but it looks like pana has better service quality unless you draw the short straw
if possible can a technician explain the problem here
