Purchased tv January 2006. Our first problem was that the tv shut down with all 3 indicator lights showing green. Referred to manual, which said the bulb needed to be replaced. Bulb was definately burnt out. Replaced bulb April 2008, then a few months later the tv starting making a very loud whinning noise eventually shutting tv off. Checked bulb seems OK. Reset TV, turned on and still a whinning noise, but evetually a good picture came on again only to shut down 10-20 minutes later with same whinning noise. After turning it on and off several times it never came back on. Checked bulb again, it seems fine. I called repair shop who said they are hearing about alot of Samsung problems lately. Repair tech seems to think it is a color wheel issue. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. THX - Bill

I had the same problem the winnign after I replaced the buld. If the colour wheel motor goes will that leave the tv off??
Can I replace the color wheel or will cleaning it out possibly solve the problem?
