Hello I have an 50inch Samsung dlp that has a flashing green light on and it makes a clicking nose but it has no picture it was showing fine until today it went out I've only had it three day I bought it off a friends can you help me
I wish I'd seen this earlier. Obviously, I'm way late and TOO late, at that.
But had I seen it when first published? Take it back to your friends. Get your money back. They KNEW it had a problem and if they didn't? They should fix it for you. Or at least 60% or more of the cost of fix.
This flash sequence is a 'code' which can be read. And that click is something not 'latching' because something ELSE is wrong. Lamp Failure? Color Wheel failure? Clogged cooling fan? Lamp Power Board problem? Take your pick.
DLP is history. Even the least expensive LED/LCD sets are this good.
Improvements have been made to DLP. LED light source, for one. RGB design to eliminate color wheel, too. You need professional help than toss it, probably.
