Ballast question yes the part numbers you gave for the lamp and ballast are what the manual list, but those numbers have been replaced with the parts i have now. i have been to a lot of sites and the old numbers aways cross to the newer ones. and lg is clueless. thier suggestion was to have a service center send someone out to look at the set and file some kind of report. what i need is a schematic for the ballast, both of them so i can determine the differance and affect a mod. my service manual from lg does not even show the ballast except on the exploded parts view.

Partstore.com lists the optical engine and ballast as available by special order: http://www.partstore.com/Part/Matsushita/Panasonic/PT52LCX16/Matsushita/Panasonic/LSXA0771HB/New.aspx . However, Shopjimmy lists the power supply and lamp ballast with the part number of LSEP1206A1; it's out of stock there. Other sites just list this as the power supply so I'm not sure if the other sites include the ballast.

I wish that I could be of more help.

If the Lamp has been replaced then problem will be either Lamp Fan or Ballast board .
Ballast board connects to Lamp and it is what powers Lamp on.
Check out Encompass Parts Distribution type in your Model number for a List of Parts/Prices and Part Numbers.
Samsung Parts 1-800-627-4368

The parts diagram for the JVC HD-52Z575 is available here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/HD-52Z575/1758/0333200.html . The lamp is part TS-CL110UAA. I don't see a separate ballast. If you look at the parts list for the cabinet, a Service manual is available.

I hope this helps.

It is best to replace the Lamp and Ballast at the same time because if you only replace one or the other, the part you did not replace might reverse damage the new part. Locate the Lamp Door on the rear of the set and remove it. You will see a Lamp Module inside with a Handle. Loosen the two screws and remove the Lamp. DO NOT TOUCH THE FRONT GLASS AT ALL!!!. If you see shattered glass inside, then you have a bad Lamp. Look on the Left side of the set and you will see a Orange sticker labeled Lamp Code. Record that code and purchase a Lamp and Ballast. There are a number of Lamps and Ballast listed for this tv so the Lamp code is important when ordering from online merchants or you have a trained Samsung tech take care of this for you. 1-800-Samsung can give information on the best shop to call locally that they trust.

You can have numerous problems. I have the exact same television in my shop awaiting parts because they are extremely hard to find. The service manual is useless unless you have the diagnositc software adn operational software to properly test the television, so do not attempt to buy a manual online you will waste your money. The television is actually pretty easy to check if you have a multimeter, T10 torx screwdriver or T10 socket, and a philips screw driver. First of all remove the back cover from the television, do not worry about the screen assembly, it is flimsy but it is mounted on the inside to not go anywhere when the back cover is removed. Next remove the black voer that is mounted by 4 torx screws, the cover that has the projector part of the engine assembly sticking through, be careful not to damage the black foam rubber that is around the projector head. Once you have those two covers off, unplug the ballast power supply wire which is the white and black wire on the bottom of the ballast, the ballast is the cicuit board that is mounted in front of the big fan on the right side Also has two wire coming from the top that plug into the lamp housing. With a multi meter check to see if you have power going into the ballast (TV has to be plugged in and turned on to do this step). If you have power going in then turn the television off and unplug it and and plug the power supply wire back into the ballast. Next remove the lamp which is secured into place with the one screw on the left side. See if you have power coming out. If you have power coming out than replace your lamp. If you do not have power going inot the lamp than replace the ballast. If you do not have power going into the Ballast than replace the power supply which is part number DVL-U2830XC good luck in finding that part. If you have power going through to the ballast, and to the lamp and have replaced the lamp than replace the video board Part Number B0001, good luck finding that part. If you have replaced the Video board, ballast, lamp, and power supply and it still fails part your television out and make parts available for other people because the last thing is the engine assembly which costs 2999.00, yes that number is right Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine Dollars. Again, parts are very hard to come by for that model and unless your a customer like that one I have that actually wants it fixed don't bother with it.

Replace the lamp.
