Samsung hln617w dlp tv won't turn on.Makes a five note musical bleep, fans come on and lamp light blinks, but shuts down after 30 seconds. Does this three times before all three idicator lights blink with temp light being red. Cleaned out dust, replaced lamp with one I had bought before. Nothing!!
Had similar problem. Thought it was the lamp. Examined old lamp but it appeared to be good. Ordered a new one anyway. Changed the lamp but the TV screen would not come on. It would make the usual noise as it was going to come on normally but it would cycle 3 times & then turn off. The LED lights in the front panel would indicate a defective lamp. Then read about the ballast. Changed the ballast & still same problem. Tried starting the TV without the lamp installed & noticed that the color wheel did not spin. Removed old color wheel & discovered it was broken. This appears to be the cause of all of my problems. I wish I new earlier of the test-turn on the TV without the lamp being installed & check to see if the color wheel is spinning. Would have save money on the lamp & ballast.
so -- "this was the cause of all your problems". WHAT was? and how DO you test to see if the color wheel is turning without the lamp installed...

More info- Before this happened the picture froze in gray colors. Also wouldn't I hear a clicking if the ballast was bad and trying to start the lamp? I hope your right though!! Thanks for your info.
