Question about Samsung DLP HL-P5663W 56" TV

Samsung HL R5067W Problem

Darkened band about 1 inch wide down the left side of the screen. The complete image is there, but just darkened in that band. Since the optics are rotated, I suspect that something has slipped down between the lamp and the imaging surface. I removed the lamp, but could see nothing from the (limited) view offered.

    Thanks for the prompt response.

    The set is nearly two years old and the problem only showed up in the last few weeks so I'll do some searching for take-apart instructions and parts availability.

You have a bad Light Tunnel in the Light engine, you can replace the engine, or try to replace the tunnel.

I have 6-8 inch horizontal shadow at the top of my HL-R5078W. How can I get rid of it?

A darkened band on this model is almost a certain bad optical light engine--not much else can even cause this.

The left side of the screen, about 3 to 4 inches in top to bottom has darkened. You can still see some picture there, but it's quite dark. I replaced the bulb, but it didn't help. What else can I do?

It sounds like the light tunnel is falling apart. This is a repair best left to the experts, you can call 1-800-samsung to find the nearest authorized service center.

3 problems 1. TV shuts off and on automatically. 2. 2 inch band on left side of screen 3. No picture at all

The band or shadow on the left side of the screen definitely sounds like a defective light tunnel.As for the intermittent pix and shut down this could be the lamp if you have not already changed it.

Dark band on left side, Samsung HL-R5668W

the reflecting mirror is likely loose and falling down inside the light reflecting tube. you should have seen the band getting darker and larger,
the small mirror is in front of the lamp and bends the light,
remove the lamp and look down the tube (light path)

Don't recommend replacing the light tunnel if you never had any experience with DLP optical systems. you need to pay careful attention to the way you remove any screws or you will be forced disassembling the engine multiple time to get the alignment correctly.
