I have a 56" toshiba dlp. It has a red have throughout the screen. sometimes worse then others. Is it the bulb? color wheel? Is it something I can fix? Where do i get the parts.

Either bad capcitors, or (if you're lucky) the color wheel needs lubed up. Probably bad caps.

the problem is that you bought a Toshiba. i have a customer who we di the same thing with. spent hundreds on a bulb and toshiba had a little surprise for us. messed colors. Tried resets etc with no luck. i've been told that is is the nice expencive colour wheel or coloor board also costing a lot. The word on the street is that this is very common and people say that thier customer care doesn't care. I think that when the bulb blows it can sometimes spike the color wheel or color board vibrates the color wheel when it blows.Perhaps all of these angry customers could dynabolt their tvs to the toshiba staffs carpark, go the the higher people in the toshiba food chain

is like this depending on your Tv Model

Your TV is a DLP one lamp does it all, not like the old projection TVs with the Red, Green & Blue CRTs. Your TV may have a bad light engine or lose cable connections.

Good luck

You have probably have installed the wrong lamp or you installed a third party/off brand Lamp. If that is the case anything other than a Factory replacement Lamp will have a different color temprature. Install a Lamp that is listed from the manufacture.

Sounds like maybe your color wheel needs to be replaced. If you have noticed a humming noise in conjunction with the intermittent colors, then that is most likely the issue.
My 51" Vivitek started to hum loudly about 2 months ago and I kind of ignored it ,but it got so loud and annoying I had to do something.First changed the bulb and then bought a color wheel at www.vancebaldwin.com .Login as guest and then enter your model number into corresponding box.They have a few Vivitek parts.
I replaced my color wheel myself and it works great!
I'd be happy to help any way I can.
Good luck!

If the sound, sounds more like a Hum with some vibration chances are the Cooling fan located behind the lamp is going bad, about $20 to repair, if its a high pitch hum most likely the Color Wheel and if thats the case about $30.
Good luck, my fan just went bad now seeing green dots everywhere, so debating on just junking it out or fixing it, with winter coming on might just breakdown and buy LCD and say the heck with DLP from now on.
Good luck to you..
