My samsung 42 inch hdtv is making a buzzing noise

My samsung 42 inch hdtv is making a loud buzzing/whirling noise and the picture is dim. There is a picture and some audio but the buzzing/whirring noise is too loud. Three lights are blinking when the tv is off. Is it the lamp?

First. The whirring or buzzing sound you hear is the Color Wheel and it needs to be replaced. Second, since I do not know when and if the original lamp has been replaced it is a good idea to replaced the lamp. The bad Color Wheel is the one causing the set to shut down.

Samsung sp50l7hx have developed a loud noise after lamp went and now new lamp not coming on

Hello,

This might be your colorwheel or ballast. If its a sound like a whirling metal/glass sound then its most likely a colorwheel malfunction. If the sound is more electrical like a buzzing sound it can be the ballast. Before all this you want to make sure you purchased an original Philips brand lamp because those knocks offs can damage your TV!!

Hoep this helps!

Television began making a loud audio noise and the picture went purple

Does your TV make a "whining, whirling, clicking, or humming noise?" If the TV have the infamous blinking lights problem , it's most likely a problem with your color wheel. The Samsung BP96-00674A color wheels spin anywhere from 6,000 to 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM’s)--It is one of the few consumable parts in your Samsung TV. The average life expectancy from our data logging shows the Samsung color wheels are fairly reliable with a MEAN average of 5-8 years. Its basically in charge of creating the colors .God bless you here;s how to take it out and replace it: http://guides.fixyourdlp.com/samsung/bp96-01579a.php
