When I turn my tv on it just hums and it sounds like it wants to cut on only the lamp and the standby temp lights come on can anyone help me out here? I also just installed a new lamp and it's doing the same thing It's a samsung 61 inch model # hl-r6167w

Possible lamp or color wheel---remove the lamp and look to see it is not shattered inside.

Hi Charles,

Sorry for the late reply, I'm offline upon purchasing my service.
You have said that you can hear a low buzzing sound before the unit gone to subsequent shutdown and the lamp blinks green(meaning that the unit try to turn on the lamp for consecutive attempts but not generally mean that the lamp itself is faulty.) and the temp led light come on.

As a matter of fact all the information you have mentioned linked to the symptoms you've encountered right now. A low buzzing sound might be caused by faulty FAN inside the unit that trigger the error code (blinking of the standby/temp led light) and turns off the unit automatically due to thermal protection circuit.
However, the technician might be true also that the buzzing sound came from the faulty color wheel. To confirm it, you have to verify where the buzzing sound came from. Color wheel is in front of the lamp assembly. Faulty color wheel can produce the same symptoms you've encountered right now but most of the time, it shows 3 blinking led light at the front panel (Timer, Lamp, standby/Temp).

I would advice you to open the back cover of your unit, fixed the lamp door safety switch with the tape to make it in closed position( if it is on open position the unit will not power up), and then turn on the unit and observe the fans if will spin or not, and check also where the buzzing sound came from before the unit gone to shutdown.
I've suspected that the fault came from the fan based on the led light flashes. Please let me know what you will discover after following the steps above to verify where the exact fault came from. Also, let me know the exact status of the led light at the front panel, (Timer, Lamp, standby/Temp ), which of them lit solid/blinking, it will help us to narrow the caused of the symptoms.

Change the tv Ballast board too.This board only job are to help it to ignite the tv projection lamp. This tv also have a colors wheel design into it too.If tv have colors pictures flashes or Black& White flashes within it pictures or tv have grinding noises or humming sounds,than the tv colors wheel it is warp and dead.This tv colors wheel must be replaced,because the colors dis wheel is warn out.

Hello... I would start by getting the correct lamp for the TV, and I would advise getting an original equipment lamp. The lamps and ballasts are matched by wattage and operating voltage, and a mis-match will at best cause early lamp failure. The sound you are hearing could be the ballast trying to ignite a bad lamp caused by a mis-match. I hope this helps!

Sound like ur tv have two problems.The "lamp"LED light flashes,mean ur tv need a new projection bulb.The loud refrigerator sound,mean the tv colors wheel is dead,it spinning off of it axes motor.Hire a tv repairman to do this the colors wheel is hard change,because require take out many machanicals parts even to get to the colors wheel to change.The bulb is easy replaced,but he there pay him to put new one in.

theres defective caps in the power supply

Sounds like a samsung but I will need the model number to assist you more accurately. Please respond to this same post.

according to samsung this is indeed the problem.

Hi, your color wheel needs to be replaced, the bearings fail causing the grinding noise, the new ones use "air bearings" so they are supposed to last much longer, video-tek

what i would do is crack into the tv and watch the individual parts being careful not to unplug anything while you take the back panel off.....turn it on and see what happens. let me know what happens
