My Samsung 60 inch DLP TV turns its self off several times an hour. Eventually is stays on. What's the problem?

Hi,do you hear any strange noises? If you hear clicking or like wanting to turn on it could be the board that powers the lamp it's called the ballast.Here's the instructions to replace it :http://www.fixyourdlp.com/guides/samsung/bp47-00033a.php But if you don't hear any strange noises,tv is around 6000 hrs,2-4 yrs it could be time to replace the lamp.Have a bless one!

My samsung 72" dlp would turn off and on. The remote could not turn it off so i had to unplug it. The image would last a few seconds then turn off then on. This would happen repeatedly until the red and green lights would start blinking then no image. The solution that helped me was I replaced the power board, ballast and lamp. Make sure the ballast you get is the same exact one as in your tv (I used a replacement one at first and it produced a flickering color image, but the TV was on and didn't turn off). If one of these components was not replaced it would continue with the same problem. The lamp was only a year old it worked fine, but for some unknown reason all three had to be replaced. My tv is working fine now. This isn't cheap, all three cost me almost $400 including shipping. My TV is 1.5 years old.
