Hi, this is signaling a failed lamp. simply replacing the affected lamp will fix this issue.

its a loose connections to you color amplifier RGB. cold solder in that board section.

OK, this is a weak ballast that is causing the shut down, the ballast is unable to maintain a steady current due to its damaged circuitry. When the ballast is weak, it will try to power up the lamp and give about 3 to 5 clicks. if the main Board doesn't get a clear signal for the ballast, signaling the lamp is at full power, it will shut down the entire set ti prevent a fire.

The part number is BP47-00027A

Your color wheel needs to be changed. Mine just did the same thing. I changed mine, and the buzzing sound went away, however now my picture washes out with light or yellow colors. The darks look green and purple also.

This will have to be narrowed down to a specific problem. I would try the easiest things first. First check the lamp. Is it bad or just starting to go bad or does it just need to be reseated with the ballast? If the ballast flickers when turning on your TV, then you will know it is the lamp that is not working or the ballast may need to be replaced. If that is not the problem next check to see if the color wheel is spinning or broken. If broken, it will need to be replaced. If not spinning it is the DMD board that is bad. The color wheel is plugged into the DMD board. If the DMD board is good it will spin the color wheel, that is what will start your lamp. When you lamp starts, you have your picture.

It sure does sound like it. Normally I replace the entire light engine at the same time because as you know this is a problem with DLP's.The replacements come complete, DMD - Color Wheel, the whole nine yards, makes the job easier. Good Luck..

it could be just heating up, how long does the sound go for?

You must go into service mode and re-align the registers, if you've never done this you must call a qualified svc center. Most color wheel replacements require re-alignment. The DLP must match the speed of the color wheel.

Color wheels in that unit were updated to remedy a flaw in their initial manufacturing. I suspect you have one of the updated wheels and now the dmd board is having a problem distinquishing relative speed etc. Pull dmd jumper to fix it. Remove the jumper pin on the dmd board, metal shield has a cut-out so you can just reach in and grab it with a pair of needle nose pliers and pull it out.

Does it work if you switch the source using the buttons on the TV itself, as opposed to on the remote? I have the same problem with my 30-inch Samsung HDTV, and it's infuriating. (It's why I found this; I was wondering if there was a hack to allow it to work.)

Possible bad color wheel...

Pull the lamp out & look inside where the lamp sends the light-

does the color wheel look defective? If so,replace it.

Or, the lamp ballast may be bad.After that,usually replace

complete engine.

You may not see any deterioration in the picture when the color wheel begins to go bad. The noise will get louder and eventually, it will shut down or the wheel will shatter while the motor continues to spin. If that happens, you'll have a black and white picture.

If its a Samsung DLP that is mercury vapor lamp driven, its a safe bet the color wheel is going bad.

Can you hear the color wheel spinning up? You may have to open it up again and look at the wheel assy. Make sure it spins freely. If that's not it, check the lamp door switch. If the door is not on properly, it will keep shutting down.

I had a bad digital board also. I went to parts.com to order a new part way cheaper than from repair service. the only problem I had was that after installation which is super easy 4 cables to unplug and replug. when I turned on the TV the picture came in upside down, not good. no one would give me the code to flip the screen as it is in a hidden menu, well after months of searching the web I found it!! It works for most all newer Samsung TV's. turn the TV off, hit mute then 182 and then power on button on the remote. the "hidden" menu will pop up and you scrool down to h-flip and flip the screen. I don't recommend messing with any of the other setting as you could likely really jack up the TV but at least you can fix it for a 3rd of the cost you would spend otherwise.

Tis dead - trade in time - buy a samsung with 5 year warranty and get some sleep...

replace the color wheel

Should take it back and have it fix asap.

Power issues (Tv True True (``````````` (``````````` 0 95250 95250 not turning on) were typically due to faulty ballast. While the TV reports a bad lamp it is the ballast itself causing the issue. Samsung True True (``````````` (``````````` 0 95250 95250 is well aware and will replace both the ballast and the lamp (since the lamp can be prematurely aged but the bad ballast). After replacment most people stop having issues.
