Color Wheel I just replaced the lamp on my panasonic MODEL: PT-61LCX65. Now the tv is not showing the red or green colors, but is showing blues, yellows, whites, blacks, and browns. Pretty much everything is either blue or yellow. I called best buys geek squad and they said its maybe a problem with the color wheel. Can i fix this on my own or do i need to call service personal?

The blue dots are due to a failing optic block. The lamp is only making them show up more obviously. The TV is probably failing as the blue dots will get larger and eventually take over the screen.

Use HDMI!

Hello,

does the TV bring out sound even as the screen display is dark?

How long have you been using this TV and have you ever changed the lamp/bulb? Problem should be from the TV lamp/bulb. Have the lamp replaced and hopefully, your screen should be perfect as before.

Let me know if you need directions in replacing the lamp, even though it is very simple replace.

Yours sincerely.

If your TV looks 3D, warped, or distorted it likely has a convergenge problem. If however it just looks dull, washed out, redish, or if it looks like objects on the screen have halos the fluid in the lens has soured. You can search google for parts or you can get the parts with repair instructions from sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com

This may be a main board issue if the green spot moves. This is repairable. This may be a panel issue if it does not move and it is present on the panasonic splash screen and if it affects the osd menu.

Hi,Yes your problem sounds like the DMD board.This is how it works: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/dlp1.htm Basically the light of the lamp goes through a tunnel that carries a color wheel(rotating disc with a gamma of colors that creates the colors on your tv)then the light of the lamp goes through the DMD board which is a chip composed of around 2 million pixels that creates the images and colors.When it starts to fail it will create black bars,pixelation,color distortion or white dots on screens.You will need to replace the DMD board. Have a blessed one!

PANASONIC..PT-52LCX15. STARTED TO A LIGHT COMES ON THE SCREEN. THEN TWO LIGHTS. FINALLY TV DONT COMES ON. I PUT ON THE TV, AND ON BOTTON START BLINKING AND TV DONT COME ON..I TAKE OUT THE TV LAMP..IT LOOKS GOOD NOT BURN. SHOULD I REPLACE IT??

Depending on how much you watch this set the lamp could be out again, they don't have to look blown to be blown.

The EEPROM needs to be reprogrammed. You should contact Panasonic customer care as they may fix this at no charge to you.

if you mean color spots size of a dime or so.

• easiest: it is dust in some step of the projection light path.
• hardest: the light engine could be damage

if you mean little ones as little dots (a neddle punshing) red and blue but always there:

• condition call it: pixels always on: light engine is the reason.

as you see the light engine is the main part here, IT is expensive repair. so if you can survive with those little dots do it.
IF it is dust, is good idea asking for and estimate to see if can works.
