DLP 61 inch Samsung Television

I purchased my TV 4 years ago and it's been nothing but problem after problem for me. After 9 visits from the Best Buy technician the last visit as recent as 7/31/2008 the TV still doesn't work. The technician has replaced every part and I am still getting a black screen after 40 minutes of play. Please help!!

    rick,
      where is the second thermal sensor?  Is it perhaps located on top of the lamp housing?  If so, what might the part number for that little gizmo be?  I have a 'Check Fan 1 2 3' message on my screen.  The fan cooling the bulb was not functioning so I replaced it with an appropriately sized component fan.  The fan is now working, but the flashing message and two flashing lights on the power button have not resolved.  Thank you

Did the technician replace the thermal sensors too? I think there are a few, one is in the color wheel cover. I'd suspect that it could take 40 min. to heat a faulty sensor to the trip point, and that this could make the TV turn the lamp off.

I have an rca 61" dlp tv that is about 4 years

More than likely you have a power board that is failing. Since the TV is so old I doubt it is under warranty still. I estimate it would cost you anywhere between $300-400 to repair that problem so it may be time to switch to a newer LCD TV.

Numerous white spots on Smasung DLP TV

same problem for me ... check out this thread on AVSforums about it.

I have the same exact tv as you and had the same problem. I took it to a repair shop who told me I needed a new DMD chip and that it would be 850 to fix. I used the information in thread above to get the part number and bought the chip on ebay for under 200. Here is a link to the listing CHIP

People have had good success. I will be replacing mine tomorrow.

Worked a charm on my 50" Samsung DLP. Read thread carefully as there are 2 different version of the DMD chip you will need to replace. I ended up fixing mine for less than $165!

Dark picture on RCA Scenium 61 in DLP

Yes, the lamp will gradually get darker as it nears it's end. The rolling lines sounds more like the set is on a local channel for the cable hook up. If your local area has a channel 3 or 4 live terestrial broadcast simply tune the cable box output to the other one, the same for the tv.
If this is cable/local broadcast issue it will go away in Febuary when the NTSC broadcast ends.
