Samsung hln617wx/xxa: color starts to blink or flicker after about ten minutes

My tv started acting up today. It started to flicker, kinda like there was a loose connection or something. I unplugged the tv, but after about 15-20 minutes, it started to flicker again. I put a fan right near the rear exhuast, but it still goes T.U. No lights on the front, temp and lamp are fine consistently. Appreciate any help, late. P

I have same problem. I saw on msg board that I should replace the color wheel. I can't believe how poor these tv's are. Samsung should replace or credit all of us for the pieces of expensive poo.

8/25/07 Coincidentally, I have just run into the same problem. I spoke with Technical Service at Samsung yesterday and after 15 minutes on the phone they couldn't tell me what was causing it. I then did numerous web searches and came across a sight where technical experts discuss problems. Turns out it may be a problem with the Digital board, the A/V Board or the DMD board. Cost for repair (depending on which board it is) will run $400 - $1,000 or more. Repair man is coming out Monday to diagnose the set.

We have a Samsung 61 inch DLP tv. That started buzzing a few weeks ago when it was turned on. At first it only lasted a few seconds. Kinda sounds like a bad barring, Then this last week it began to last...
Highly likely that the sound was coming from the bearing in the color wheel assembly. When the bearing fails, the color wheel cannot spin at the correct speed, and because the speed is measured by the control board, the TV will shut down.

If you can handle a screwdriver - entire color wheel assembly can be replaced for about $100 and 30 minutes of your time.

Strange colors and flickering picture symptom shows problem with color wheel and/or dmd board.
Lamp is only light source in dlp tv and it has nothing with colors or picture flicker.
TV goes to protection mode because of some internal problem as mentioned above.
