I am getting a shadow about 2 in wide running down the left side of my tv. i was told my a samsung tech that i don't need to replace the entire light engine, but just a small, sheaper part called the light tunnel. any service repair centers around me have no idea what i'm talking about. i'm looking for some instructions on how to do it myself.
Hi, if you did not get help until now, i can send you step by step instructions and photos how to do it. I did several of these and it is not a big deal.But you will have to take apart a very sensitive optical device and if you are not confident that you can do it do not start this.bp67-00291a is the part number for the light tunnel.post a message here if you need that file with instructions

Old post i know but may help someone out
I have solved my problem of a dark shadow on the left hand side of my
samsung DLP sp4sl6hv using this video which was near enough the same as my set. When i could see the light tunnel i used a toothpic to push the mirror on the right back in place (it was a fraction of a millimetre btw) and all is well now. I also used this video for removing the whole light chamber as there are some wires to remove before removal, hope this helps in some way, costless fix to

Never replaced a Light Tunnel Myself, I have heard of this problem, Toshibas have done this to me as well, it is MUCH easier to replace Light engine and results in better repair, once you start taking a microdisplay engine apart you run the risk of contamination.

ac4job,
hey, if you could please forward those directions on to me. I'll take a look at them and see if it's something i can do. if i feel like it's not i won't try it. my email is [email protected] thanks!
I am having the same thing. I ignored it for about 8 months because it was only on one side, but now it covers most of the picture. Instructions on how to replace the Light Tunnel would be very helpful. I don't want to pay anything to fix this tv because it is almost 3 years old.
I have this same problem on the same exact tv. Please send me the instructions to replace the light tunnel.
My shadow is 6" to 8" wide on the left side of the screen too. I also have ignored it for 8 months+. I decided to call for repairs. The technician didn't even have to come out first because he knows it is the light tunnel. The part is ordered and they have told me that the total cost will be $450 (parts+labor) to fix it. Cha-ching!!!
I have the same problem, I think. A shadow on the left that was first 3 inches wide and has recently grown to 6. Looking for a cost effective solution. Please help.

I have the same problem with a dark, 2 inch, strip down the left edge of my Samsung 1080 dlp. A tech told me it needed a new mirror light tunnel and would cost between 200 and 300 dollars. How can I locate the part myself?
