Having trouble finding color wheel for Toshiba TDP S25

It could be a broken connection in the computer lead for the red signal, or a fault on the projector that the red panel doesn't work any more.

To diagnose, bring up the projector's on screen display. If there's white in the menus then the problem is the cable. Replace it with a new one. If the menus are affected too then it's a projector problem. This requires the attention of a service engionner.

Your new bulb is not lighting.
Check the connections are correct.
Have you also tried putting back old bulb to see if it works.

Color wheel failed. Clean the glass pieces out loose in the unit and replace the color wheel assy with Toshiba part no: 23125963. No soldering is required, just a no. 2 phillips screwdriver and and a set of jeweler's phillips screwdrivers like Radio Shack has.

it can be also due to faulty ballast or the colour wheel due to which the horizontal bar is showing up.also if the buklb is giving less light /glow that means its weak should be the cause of this problem.as the voltage of the bulb should be checked  how to replace the colour wheel with diagram and procedure

The color wheel has failed in youtr projector. There are 4 pieces of glass in the color wheel which fit togeter in a "pie" formation and they are red, blue, yellow & clear. This wheel is spun by a motor. The glass is glued to the motor's hub, and, when it fails the glass segments are thown off the hub. This gives you a B&W picture because all of the light is allowed to shine through the optics all of the time. Replace the color wheel with Toshiba part no: 23125963. It will be about $65. No soldering is involved, just use care with the ribbon cable to the motor. You will need a no. 2 phillips screwdriver and a set of jeweles screwdrivers to do this.

Hi real12

Unfortunately you will have get the focus ring replaced before you will be to make use of it if your model doesn't have automatic zoom and focus in the user menu.

Sorry , but there simply is no other way.

Hi there

Could you explain warped ?

Hi there

I guarantee you 100% that this not a bulb problem but rather a Mainboard failure.

This can unfortunately only be resolved by having it repaired or replaced.

And it is expensive incase you were wondering.

A mirror got loose in the opening from where the bulb sends the light to the "panel" It is blocking part of the light.

I'm not talking about one of the tiny mirrors that makes up the DLP, but there is silver box where the bulb light initially goes. the walls are lined with mirrors whose adhesive fails when exposed to great heat.

I can easily fix it, as i have fixed many of them from this problem.
