Question about Samsung HLR5067WX 50" Rear Projection HDTV
Hi, my 50* samsung dlp stared having problems tonight. The picture started flickering and the colors were strange. I turned it off and then turned it on again. No picture and the all three lights on the on off button were flashing. I turned it off and unplugged it. I had a spare lamp so I replaced the lamp. Turned it on again still no picture, lights flashing and a soft whirring noise that stops and starts coming from the back of the tv. I called Samsung and they said it could be the color wheel the fan or both. I also saw on line that these tvs have problems with the light engine which is very expensive to repair. Any help would be great. I:d hate to spend the money for a repaiman only to find out it:s not worth fixing. The tv is a little over 2 years old.
DLP(digital light processor) does not have a color wheel

buzzing noise lights 3 that are flashing in front (timer,lamp, temp). these r signs of a color wheel
I'm having the same sort of problems with my Samsung 50" HLR5067WX/XAA. I bought this tv on ebay refurbished (bad move I know, never again). It worked fine for a little bit. Then I had the whole red/blue color swap and it would turn itself off then on, then off then on, etc...over and over until I had to finally unplug it to turn it off. The green light on the front would keep blinking and making noises. SO...I contacted a repair guy, seemed ok. He picked up my tv and I believe replaced the lamp. after $570. I got my tv back. It worked ok for the couple of minutes he was there. Then it started turning itself off and on again. I think the color were ok but it was hard to tell since it didnt stay on very long. Frustrated the repair guy came back. After $200 my tv was back. It seemed to work for longer, picture fine for almost 45min!! Then it did the same old thing turning itself off and on. It has been about 5 months since I last had it non-repaired. I'm frustrated and the repair guy only has a 90 day warranty. Are these problems common? What should I do? Please Help!!!
Its the color Wheel....
