Reader Question: Samsung DLP Model HLN507W
I’ve read several posts on this site. Impressive !! Several descriptions cover a sound coming from the back of the DLP. I have replaced the bulb…needed that anyway, but I ear a sound like a squeal ?? bearing ?? I can’t tell from the descriptions if it is the color wheel or the large cooling fan. The fan try’s to spin but stammers. The bulb does not light, but it’s new and I think the color wheel does not move. Replace the color wheel, fan or both ?? Any thoughts Thanks

Hi Dominic,
Given the history of the Samsung DLPs and their color wheels, I'd say quite certainly that your color wheel is the problem.
The stammering fan is not something I have personally heard much about, and in general much less fan issues.
I'd start with the color wheel.
Jangro,
Thanks for the input. I will try the color wheel and give you some feedback.
