Buzzing sound with volume off/mute samsung 6163

We have a buzzing sound on our Samsung DLP Hlp 6163 and cannot figure out how to get rid of it.

We thought it was a fan, but it happens whether the TV is hot or cold.

It continues to happen even when the TV and Cable TV Connections are muted.

We have been to the Samsung site and have done their troubleshooting with cables, but still the sound is there. ANY IDEAS?

    Thank you so much - it is starting to sound worse so we'll get it changed!

    does this buzz also make the color go away? is color wheel easily replaced on your own or do i need to get a professional?

    We have the Samsung HL 6163. Since the beginning of January it would occasionally make a "grinding" sound when turned off after extended periods of use. Now it sounds awful when you turn it on and picture is in black and white. We decide to leave it alone until we can get it fixed.



    Has anyone had this problem? What was the solution to fix it? How much did it cost to fix?

Samsung hlp-5063w no picture when its on

Do you have three flashing lights on the front? You most likely have a problem with your lamp or color wheel. Those two component combined are pretty much the guts of your TV. If you are handy, you can replace those parts yourself. I have a 50" Samsung DLP and I've already replaced those to items myself. Otherwise, you can contact Samsung at 1-800-SAMSUNG and they can assist.

I bought my parts using Amazon, had them shipped to me, and took an afternoon to take about the back of the TV; documenting everything and taking photos of the progress, until it was done. There may be video tutorials on Youtube. There was for my model (HLS5086). Here is a great link to help you along. Good luck.

Buzzing sound with volume off/mute samsung 6163

It sounds like your color wheel. If you are handy at all you can change it pretty easily for the price of the part (probably around $90-$110) and a couple hours of your time. Here is a link to a video showing you the step by step process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx4pbNjsxfU good luck..

No sound

Press 'MENU" botton and select "SOUND" press "ENTER" you will see:
SRS TSXT = OFF
AUTO VOLUME = OFF
INTERNAL MUTE = OFF
MELODY = ON

Now select "MODE" press 'ENTER" and choose "STANDARD". Now select "RETURN" press "ENTER" then press the "EXIT" button. Turn the unit off then back on. You should have sound if not one of the PCBs is bad. If no sound post back and we will try and help.
