20 Most Recent Samsung HLM5065W 50" Rear Projection HDTV-Ready Television Questions & Answers

its a bad color wheel and you may be able to replace it. You Tube has videos for this. Look where the lamp faces and see if wheel missing segments or shattered.

I am currently having the same problem. It started they way you are discribing, but now the TV will do that after the TV has been on for 20min and then will shut off within 30min. Then all the lights up front flash. I have replaced the bulb and that was not the problem. I also NEED HELP! Occasionally the picture on my TV will be inverted and sort of "dance" back and forth on the screen.

hi welcome to fixya
let me know first if what model do you asking for since your problem is the TCL tv but their is a samsung projection model posted, so that i can give you a better solution. any way if you asking for a tcl projection type tv since the problem is that the picture goes black, lets verify first to narrow down where the problem it can be. unplugged the tv unit then you need to open the back cover of the tv to access the internal part. now turn on your tv then look for the cooling fan for the lamp if it was working if not the lamp will turn off then you will not get picture. feel free to seek further assistance hope this will help thanks for consulting through fixya.

Try lamp, then check color wheel. If not this, possibly DMD board.

hi there
you have a fan problem close to the lamp
could be jam

I just had the same exact problem. New bulb and all. Tech. said it was the Light Engine assemble was going bad. Here is some photos of the Light Engine.

Hi,

Initially and sorry but I have to ask, you of course have verified that the Sleep Timer is OFF?

Additionally, it would seem that the unit's problem is either heat related or a cold solder/loose connection. I would discount the possibility of a defective component since if it so then the unit would not even power up in the first place.

Pls post back if you are considering of doing the diagnosis and possible repairs yourself. Should you venture a DIY, pls be reminded of safety precautions when working with electrical devices. Of course this would also require a bit of familiarity with electronic components and circuitry, use of a DVM and a soldering iron. Access to a service manual or at least a schematic diagram with voltage measurements would make the diagnosis a lot easier. If you are not comfortable going this route, then perhaps your best bet would then be to seek the services of a qualified professional.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
