We have a Samsung HL-P5063W DLP TV. Lately it will not turn on the first time the remote is pressed, in fact it seems to take longer and longer to come on. Sometimes the timer and the lamp lights blink on and off for a while and then all three lights blink and the standby light comes back on. After pressing the On button on the remote and going through this process a number of times, it will finally come on. The picture looks good. the set is three years old.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have a samsung hln617w, supposedly not listed, lamp was burned out so I purchased replacement. Will not turn on. Can hear two efforts and then auto turn off. Have read where others have same problem and tv eventually turns on. New lamp, another problem, not cheap either as I did not have a running spare purchased economically. Could use some help or direction, dont want to purchase additional to see if new purchase was faulty
-   I bought a 43" Samsung DLP 4 years ago and I"m having problems with the tv. Sometimes when I try to turn the tv on it will not come it cycles on and off and finally the lamp light comes on and the temp light comes and stays. Sometimes I keep trying and some times it comes on and sometimes it won't. Is it the problem with the lamp? Anybody has a solution? -   kmysore2
The lamp, ballast or dmd board can cause the same problem. Most commonly on these DLPs it is the lamp, but we have to use the process of elimination as well sometimes. Even as a samsung warranty center sometimes the flow charts don't help. The first thing I would do as a consumer is to vacuum around the ventilation holes behind set, these can cuase poor circulation and startup/shutduwn problems. Then with those type of lights flashing start by bidding for or buying the most inexpensive lamp you can get. Make sure exact replacement. Do not touch the glass on lamp when replacing. Then try the ballast which also has a part number on it and has only two screws when you have lamp removed from set. If still no luck, assume it is the dmd board and try pricing that baby. Not cheap! Then comes the decision. New set or repair this. This is what you can expect unfortunately. But I have the same set at home. Go figure.

What's happening is power up chime, and faint volume. I can change channels. Meanwhile, no pic, and the lamp light flashes. After a minute or so this repeats, and then powers on and off, until ultimately all three lights end up flashing simultaneously, with no sound.

I have a Samsung HLN 617 W and I turned it on today and it worked fine then later this evening we turned it on with the controls on the side of it because the remote would not work and the channels were going up and down and all over the place. I tried to change the input but was unsuccessful. I held the volume button down on the side of the tv and change the input and got the menu up. It would not function properly only letting me go down the menu even when pressing up left or right. bulb is new,color wheel is new. It just keeps switching back from no signal to not available. The remote does not turn it on or allow me to use anything but the light blinks on the tv showing it is recieving a signal from the remote. It will show a picture when it is surfing the channels and there is sound. Light from the bulb can be seen when looking at the back. Color wheel can also be seen spinning the colors. Can someone please help me with this problem. This is a great tv. Thank you Jason
