Problem with Toshiba DLP Projection TV Model #52HM84

My family is having an extremely difficult time resolving a problem with our Toshiba DLP Projection TV Model #52HM84. Here's the problem.

The bulb we had in our TV was a couple of years old. The old bulb did NOT go bad; however, we knew it could go bad at any moment so we ordered a new bulb from Toshiba. When we inserted the new bulb and turned the TV on for the first time, the TV emitted a loud and lengthy buzzing sound each time the red light would come on and then the green light would blink. The TV would autmatically try to restart itself the eight times and each time it would emit the loud and lengthy buzzing sound.

We had an authorized service representative check the TV out. He says the TV is fine and that the bulbs are bad. When we reinsert our old bulb in the TV it works fine, which seems to sonfirm his assessment tha thte TV is fine. The problem is that we keep having Toshiba send new bulbs and none of them work. Every single new bulb that Toshiba sends keeps emitting a loud and lenghty buzzing sound and the picture never comes on. The TV goes through the eight cycles, buzzing each time, and never comes on. Every time we reinsert our old bulb the TV works just fine. This is extremely frustrating.

It is possible the lamps may be defective or that they may be the wrong replacement for this model, as it may have a different wattage setup with the ballast. If you want to try to order the TB25 lamp from a different vendor, you can order the original Toshiba replacement lamp for this model (52HM84) from a major Toshiba parts distributor at the link below:

My 52" Toshiba DLP just dropped an HDMI connection... There are two connectors on the back, both have worked fine until just now when one disappeared from the inputs menu on the screen.

Hi,
I'm not sure about your tv model as question post shows it is Toshiba 52HM84 that has one HDMI input at rear and you said 3 HDMI inputs in your tv.
Please unplug tv from wall socket for minute or so to get it reset, replug back in, turn it On and check its HDMI inputs appear or not.
Also check for Reset option in Menu for factory default settings that can also help you to get back disappeared HDMI inputs.
If all that does not solve the issue then it seems hardware problem with HDMI circuit board and tv repairman is needed for visual check to get it fix.
Hope these info will help you.
Thanks.

Toshiba 52HM84 DLP TV with new bulb but the lights keep blinking

They exact way the lights blink are telling you what the failure is. If the tv is firing the lamp and the lamp is bad, you will hear a buzz sound for about 1 second. The tv tries 8 times before it gives up and spits out the lamp error. Check the user manual for led diagnostics. If you put in a new lamp but still have issues, you've likely got a bad ballast (most common on this model) or colorwheel (less common). Both are part of the optical block (light engine) and I don't believe they're available as individual components from toshiba.

Toshiba 52hm84 DLP buzzing sound after replace bulb?? no pic

You have bad capacitors in the power supply that took out the regulator, or the ballast circuit is defective. Not really a repair for the novice. Good Luck
