I have a HL-P6163W, hooked to dish network hd

Hi my name is Mike Houston of DISH Network and I see you want to connect your HDMI cable to your 511 DVR receiver. To have capability for your HD TV you will need to have a VIP HD series receiver, I will be more than happy to assist you with this and you can contact me at [email protected].

It the Colors wheel,cooling fan will shut down,if it start making noise to the fan,because the whole projection egine and the bulb link to it.The fan have to run a certain RPM to keep the tv running without problems.These colors wheels run 1000 RPM to start to give the tv colors and it make out Flexy glass and plastics.What ur opinion,who will give u the problems,first as parts wise.Ok any noises like whinning in the tv alway the colors wheel starting to buckle and warp.Getting worse make motor noises and briddles enough will brake and shatter it into ten of hundred of pieces.Who know,than inside what else will cause the rythum of the RMPS running of the tv,when u replaced it.

Are you sure that you have the good color wheel for the LIGHT ENGINE install in your tv. Samsung use different version of light engine who had their own color wheel.

did u not pull the jumper if u put in a new air bearing color wheel it spins much faster u have too pull the jumper on the board beside the little fan its black just pull straight out its black little plastic thing look on the silver slotted case youll see two little square opening one has the black jumper right there pull it out did mine already see ya

A more likely candidate is the color wheel,unless your sure it's the fan

If you are using Component inputs, check to make sure that the Blue Video Cable has not backed out of its connecting jack at either end or the cable it's self being bad. If you are using HDMI I would suspect that the Digital Board being bad. It would be odd for the Color Wheel to cause the problem but cannot eliminate it as a cause. The Lamp would cause the picture to be darker but not cause a color to drop out.
I would call a professional to trouble shoot it unless you have the knowledge and the tools to do so.
Hope this helps,

i found a step by step video on you tube it was great

Ours was on the color wheel. I also went to samsungparts.com and entered my tv model number and we could veiw the color wheel. However, the one we needed is back orders . I hope your is not.

DO you have manuals for all the units listed?
If not , try the Samsung consumer site.
It would take me quite a while to figure out your situation even with manuals and I have a business to run besides.

Also, ask some questions of Tech Support at Samsung..Let them KNOW how much you spent on their stuff.

God bless,

I just had a service tech out and replaced the color wheel. now i have the same issue with the color...the people all look blue. He told me that now the the digital board is bad. It's the board were all of the connections go. I'm not convinced, as I remember reading something about color settings needing to be adjusted after color wheel replacement.
