Question about Samsung DLP HL-P4663W 46" Rear Projection HDTV-Ready Television

Our Samsung DLP had a winding sound for a few minutes after powering on, but still had a picture and sound. After about a week, we lost the picture. We replaced the lamp yesterday, lost the winding sound, and watched the tv for a few hours. When we turned on the tv today, there is no picture and no winding sound. There is sound, there is the normal click noise and the 3 lights are flashing on front of the tv. What is going on?

Sounds like the color wheel broke. If not that could be ballast. Call local tv repair shop.

Samsung DLP TV shows green color where color should be black

This could be your video board going bad where your input cables are connected --OR-- the color wheel going bad. Hard to tell without a photo or reference though. Try swapping the cables first... and listen for any winding or whirring sounds.

No display or sound on Mitsubishi WD-52725

This is a DLP They have issues with the color wheel, the winding sound could be from this color wheel. If it stops spinning it will cause the tv to shut down. DLP is a mechanical display process. If you are handy and understand electronics you could replace this yourself. If not i would let a tech handle it.

Samsung DLP TV, no picture, has sound

Try replacing the ballast next. Its the small circuit board directly underneath the lamp housing. You can access it through the lamp door. If the ballast is overheating or has a leaking capacitor, the tv won't stay lit for more than a minute or two.
