Hi, Samsung haves a known issue with the ballast, once you make a replacement of the lamp, sometimes its harder to ignite a new lamp that has 100% of gas inside than igniting a old lamp that has maybe 60% or 50% of gas inside. Just in order to ignite the lamp, the ballast needs to send some High Pulses of Voltage, as high as 15 kV (that is the constant clicking sound that you are hearing). In order to resolve this you need to change the Ballast Board. I tried to look for your ballast with your TV Model # at samsungparts.com , but nothing showed up. You will need to find out which ballast part # you have in order to find it online. To locate the ballast part # please check the end of this video, you only need to take the lower back cover of TV off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jr_9A5Xd2Q
Here is a link of a ballast I found http://www.discount-merchant.com/SAMSUNG-9137-008-08905-Lamp-Ballast-Driver-p/1138231.htm?Click=49915

Making beep sound lamp

Hello, I think I understand the question, your TV is making a beeping sound indicating its time to change the lamp? If so I suggest you go with the original Philips on the link below, to get the brightest image possible.

BALLAST PART No FOR A SAMSUNG SP50L6HX PLEASE HELP

Google that model number with ballast or lamp ballast to locate the part and its number. Usually the color wheel will not operate if ballast is not working---Lamp comes on and stays on the Ballast is good.

Check the Lamp Fan if it stops running when Lamp Lights then Fan is defective.
Samsung Parts.com 1-800-627-4368 If Fan is OK then this meabs you have Good Lamp and Good Ballast board then the problem will be in the DMD moduel.

Hi,Sometimes its something simple.Did you close the door cover,it has a switch that wont let lamp power on if its not pressed.Did you reset the lamp timer? you can do this by unplugging the tv wait 5 min and plug it back again.Any strange noises like clicking or buzzing sounds? If you heard clicking it will be an issue w the board that powers the lamp its called the ballast.If you heard buzzing it could be an issue with the color wheel,which is a small disc that creates tyhe colors on your tv. Last question did you get the Original Philips lamp or a generic? If you got a generic send it back for testing or get refund and get yourself the original.Email me if you have further questions at [email protected] have a blessed life!
