Bought my DLP on 8//11/06. So far I've had the Light Engine replace (dark area at top right of screen) and a blown bulb replaced 2 years after buying.
Now last week I'm getting a loud noise from the back.(from the other comments sounds like the bulb fan) What is the fix for this so I can tell the repair guy? I was lucky and got the 3 year warranty but it is up 8/10/09. Guess I better call the warranty company now!!!

Replace the fan.

i constantly hear complaints about fan noise in dlptvs if you sit in front of your computer you will hear the same noise even in the next room there is no solution to the fan noise problem this product has a huge cage fan and a second and third three inch fans in it.... more than the samsung product it can be noticeable if the tv is on hard surfaces ie wood floors ,inthe corner, glass top etc the vents on the back of the tv allow for proper cooling of the lamp at shutoff so it doesnt shatter the tube its kinda like annealing glass its designed to extend the life of the lamp .... which im sure youve priced call toshiba and tell them your lamp is bad right now and get a new one for an emergency ( warranty if you can do it ) they are also improved this product is known to have short bulb life sometimes the zinging noise you hear is indicative of a bad color wheel in the light engine which would require replacement ( not cheap) toshiba will not piece out the color wheel assembly individually

the Toshiba web site has a place under support about that problem. It's the light engine and if you fill out the serial # and model # the will qualify you for a new one.

my 46HM95 was humming also, I have the extended warranty and the company came out and diagnosed it as the light engine. the part was backordered and it was just fixed today, it was ordered back in February. Problem was solved.
