If the noise is a high pitched whine or even a grinding sound you may have a bad color wheel.

These fail quite often in these sets although it is unusual for a lamp to be associated with it. Put old lamp back and see if same problem. (unless old lamp is shattered)

If it is the color wheel I can tell you how to look at it to see if shattered without taking the set completely apart.

See attached photo of typical color wheel.

If this told you something you did not know, rate this solution as very helpful as I do this here for free.

    From what you are saying it has to be the color wheel. Is there an easy way to check that?

  • Anonymous Aug 18, 2010

    Remove (with set unplugged) lamp door and lamp.

    The color wheel faces the lamp front---it usually has a clear lens there--with a flashlight (you may need a small mirror also) look through the lens and at the wheel---if shattered you will see parts of the colored plastic missing or damaged.

    Pretty easy and confirms wheel is bad. There are places like You Tube who have written and VIDEO instructions for replacing them. If you go that route let me know, there are a few pitfalls to avoid that are not in those instructions.

    Maybe related, maybe not. With back panel open, when i turn on the TV, bulb tries to light up twice, making buzzing sound.

    What could be the problem?

  • Anonymous Jul 29, 2011

    Set has a safe switch and unless defeated set will not work with back off.

    Remove lamp (set not plugged in) and take a good look at color wheel (lamp faces it) to see if any pieces gone etc.

    9 out of 10 times grinding, fan like sound, high pitched sound it is the color wheel.

TV made a big popping sound, and then a crackling

Hi,do you hear any strange noises? If you hear clicking or like wanting to turn on it could be the board that powers the lamp it's called the ballast.Here's the instructions to replace it :http://www.fixyourdlp.com/guides/samsung/bp47-00033a.php That crackling sound could be of the color wheel:The color wheel is a rotating disc that has a gamma of colors it spins at high rpms.The light of the lamp goes through it to create the colors on your tv.When it starts to go bad you will get color distortion ,black and white picture and sometimes you will hear humming noises. But if you don't hear any strange noises,tv is around 6000 hrs,2-4 yrs it could be time to replace the lamp.The lamp you need is BP9601073A you can find original here:http://www.discount-merchant.com/Samsung-BP96-01073A-lamp-p/samsung-bp96-01073a-lamp-oem.htm?Click=48173 .Have a blessed one!

My picture won't show after replacing the lamp

Actually that humming sound was not the lamp, the humming sounds come from color wheels when they're going out, and since the color wheel is part of the light engine system and it's not working, that's why you don't have an image, you'll probably ask your self why, since it's not the lamp.. the thing is that the light engine system is componed by lamp, ballast, color wheel and dmd board, so when one of these doesn't work, there will be no image reflected, because they work together

TV makes humming noise, lamp light is blinking, does not turn on

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.

No picture or sound

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

My Samsung 50" DLP HDTV keeps humming when the DLP lamp comes on.

Hi, you have one of two problems, either the color wheel is going or one of the cooling fans are going, the color wheels are a very common problem in samsung dlp`s, sorry I can`t nail it to a specific part but I`d bet it`s the color wheel as they are notorious for failing in samsungs, video-tek
