did changing the color wheel work? it sounds like I have the same exact problemdid changing the color wheel work? it sounds like I have the same exact problem

I have the same problems. The cable company said the problem was in my cable box, so they replaced the box but the TV is still the same. Now the light on the front says "lamp". Will replacing the lamp solve all this weird behavior? I have the same problems. The cable company said the problem was in my cable box, so they replaced the box but the TV is still the same.

You need to do an aggressive reset on the TV. This solved problem
completely for me. You must unplug the TV when it is on. Repeat this
several times until the TV is jolted back into the factory default
settings. The issue is actually with the programming I believe. The
clue was that the display worked 100% perfect in HDMI mode, and the
problem only existed in the cable setting, no matter if wires were
attached or not.
Again, do an aggressive reset to the TV by unplugging it several times
while it is on. It may not register the reset at first because after
all, the actual problem is a programming issue and it's having trouble
recognizing commands in the first place.
It sure does sound like it. Normally I replace the entire light engine at the same time because as you know this is a problem with DLP's.The replacements come complete, DMD - Color Wheel, the whole nine yards, makes the job easier. Good Luck..
Okay,only one thing you could check,and that would be your electrical outlet.Using another outlet from a different room(power extension cord) to plug your TV and see if it does the same thing. If it does,don't bother,you need a repair serviceman to take care of it or if it is under warranty,call your retailer! solutiondoct
I had a bad digital board also. I went to parts.com to order a new part way cheaper than from repair service. the only problem I had was that after installation which is super easy 4 cables to unplug and replug. when I turned on the TV the picture came in upside down, not good. no one would give me the code to flip the screen as it is in a hidden menu, well after months of searching the web I found it!! It works for most all newer Samsung TV's. turn the TV off, hit mute then 182 and then power on button on the remote. the "hidden" menu will pop up and you scrool down to h-flip and flip the screen. I don't recommend messing with any of the other setting as you could likely really jack up the TV but at least you can fix it for a 3rd of the cost you would spend otherwise.
My 3 yr old Samsung DLP has the same buzzing noise, had a tech out today and he said "color wheel". Thank goodness I purchased that expensive warranty, This is my 4th repair in 3 years.
