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.
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.Thanks for the prompt response.

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.
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.
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.
