If a “Fan error message appears on the screen:

1. Look at the fans to see if they are running while the unit is on. If not running check the connector. If the connector is good replace the fan.

2. If all fans are operating, problem is in the fan detection circuit, Actuator, Protection Board or Digital Board.

The solution turned out to be connecting with a DVI-to-HDMI cable.

Hi,
Are you sure you replaced correct Samsung original lamp and it is not aftermarket or cheap one?

remove the lamp and visually check if inside looks broken.if visually do not see any thing wrong,check if you have 300 volts dc supply on the ballast which starts the lamp.if you do then the ballast may be defective.if you do not then the power supply should be checked.
the lamp should always be tried first especially if is older than two years.
note - be aware about the switch at the door lamp.the door should be closed,otherwise tv will not work.if you remove the back cover,make sure to bypass the switch temporarely so you could work on the set.

It ended up being one of the connectors on the composite cable. I did not know that the different colors came through separate cables. I do now, Thanks.

Sounds like you have a bad color wheel assembly which is located in your light engine assembly.

i think it could be the colorwheel

It sounds like you have a bad Digital PCB.

1. Try this - hold the menu button down for 10 seconds. TV should power up; youwill have to turn off front panel buttons on menu.

2. You can also try a hard reset: Unplug TV from AC mains and remove all cablesfrom TV. Wait about 30 minutes and replug to AC power and redo the cabling.Switch on the TV and see if it works..

3. Powering down the set or putting it in standby may haveallowed the power supply to cool. Weak capacitors often go out of spec whenthey cool, thus preventing a section of the power supply from firing upproperly again. There is a simple trick...just warm the back of the TV with ahair dryer for 5-7 mins after you have unplugged the TV. Look for the littleareas of holes in the back panel of TV. Use these as your guide at where to usethe hairdryer, but don't hold the dryer too close (say 5-6inches away). (Makesure the dryer is on High heat). If the TV doesn't turn on after you haveheated it up (like it tries to come on but then turns off) you need to unplugthe TV again, this resets it. And repeat those steps till it works. Resettingthe TV after it fails to turn on is the key. Also, just leave the TV on. Don'tturn in off. Since it is LCD, it doesn't take much power...only a few bucksextra a month for your utility bill.

4. A circuit board may crack about some of the largercomponents mounted on it. You can inspect the PCB's for fractures, and thenrepair them. It may also be poor soldering that has failed. I would be checkingfor these things first.

5. If you want to go in for a long term solution, you can easily replace thewhole power board or just change the faulty capacitors. You will have to openthe back panel and take a look. You can make out which are faulty, becausetheir caps will be swollen on top. Here's a sample pic of a bust capacitor (notsame model):

Check the specifications of the faulty capacitors, and get the replacementsfrom your local electronics shop. If you are comfortable with this, you can usea pair of needle nose pliers to G-E-N-T-L-Y pull out the defunct capacitors.Once that is done, solder in the new capacitors carefully. If are unsure how todo this, try to get a friend who knows how to do this kinda stuff do it foryou, or get a qualified technician. Warning: If you do nothave a background in electronics repair, or are inexperienced, get a qualifiedtechnician to do it for you.

REMEMBER there are very dangerous voltages inside a TVthat can KILL. Be sure to work SAFE when dealing with electricity. DISCONNECTTHE POWER BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.

Hope that helps!

color wheel or light engine,call for service and save your money.

This is bad real bad, when this happens it means a board known as the DMD board is failing and must be replaced, the board can run about $650.00 to get it and have it instaled

you have a weak power supply its simply trying to go out on you

buy a new tv if its a bad engine the cost to repair it will be high about the cost of a new tv.

buy a new tv if you are having this much trouble with the one you have now theres no telling what might go wrong next and its gonna get expensive to replace the engine youre better off getting a new tv

try it on tuner mode to seperate the fault from video to rf input,if gone the video pc board is at fault.

you should contact samsung and inquire as to poss.warranty defects of this item

bad light engine assembly.......

HLP, HCN HL-S The Start-up Problem or/and
3 LEDs in the front blinking.

Unplug the set, pull out the lamp module (not all the way - leave it on the track) and push it back in.

Power issues (Tv not turning on) were typically due to faulty ballast. While the TV reports a bad lamp it is the ballast itself causing the issue. Samsung is well aware and will replace both the ballast and the lamp (since the lamp can be prematurely aged but the bad ballast). After replacment most people stop having issues.
