Here is what I would do if I was you.


Remove the lamp---it is customer removable---- The color wheel will be able to be seen--it will face the front of the lamp.

In case you do not know the color wheel is a round plastic wheel with different colored segments--

What you are looking for is are any or most of them shattered--anything short of the complete wheel will cause the lamp to go off---set will detect the wheel not moving correct and shut lamp off---color wheel turns at over 12,000 rpm.

Some sets you may need to use a small mirror to see the wheel.

If it is damaged you can based on your model number find one on the internet--lots of places sell replacements.

There are also several sites that have printed and even Video instructions for the replacement of the wheel--this is the least expensive way to get this fixed. Most of the wheels run from about 90 -130 dollars plus shipping.

Confirm actual model number and VERSION number that will be on a label on the right side and or the back of the set.

I am here to help people--let me know if you have any questions.
