I Just Try…….I am having trouble finding the 2 brass screws I need to lsen to pull out the entire unit. There is a large circuit chasis in front of the bulb unit preventing me from locatig the 2 brass screws. Does the chasis need to be removed first? If so how is this done? Taks for any help you may have on this.

I have a question about my zenith dlp rear projection. We were watching it over the weekend and all of a sudden it shut it’s self off. I’ve gone through the owners guide and looked at the trouble shooting and it said that when the red light is flashing next to the light bulb icon that “there’s a problem with the lamp or around it” is this just a way of saying that the bulb needs to be replaced ???? If so I will just but another one and replace it without having to go through a repair shop that has already told me that it’s going to cost me $300.00 to look at it plus parts and labor. Your video (which I did watch was VERY HELPFUL) should me what i need to do. If you could help with this I would greatly appreciate it. Again Thank you for you time and effort and VERY HELPFUL insight..

I have an RCA HD DLP big screen and the other night it made about three pop sounds with in about two hours. I really didn't think anything about it until I was in my bedroom and heard (it sounded like a light bulb shattered) looked at my tv and it had sound and no picture. I opened the bulb door to find pieces of glass all inside this area of the tv. Does it sound like I just need a new bulb or is it something more? Any help woul be appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

I never knew it can be done as easy as that! Not only does the procedure looked easy, but you can certainly save money by doing it yourself. Thanks!!

I am trying to replace the color wheel for my Samsun DLP #HLP 4663. I am having trouble finding the 2 brass screws I need to lsen to pull out the entire unit. When I look at your picture of the process I see a different arangement in the back of my TV. There is a large circuit chasis in front of the bulb unit preventing me from locatig the 2 brass screws. Does the chasis need to be removed first? If so how is this done? Taks for any help you may have on this.

Great video Scott, and great website overall! I replaced the color wheel & bulb in my HLR5667 today and your video about the lamp replacement was a great help. Thank you!

PS———–also have to unscrew that thick cable on left hand side by unscrewing
plastic screws on each side of cable tip to allow the guts to slide out even further to access fan as well as remove black plastic component in front of fan, nearest you. Fan#2 is located at front toward screen on right side of tv, back to front-no side access.

nice video Scott....have some tips for folks, trial & error, I am novice!
have samsung HLS 4266wx DLP TV, 18 months old, newer than one in your slide demo.----a few days ago tv had picture for 1or2 minutes then mess. that Fan#2 problem & lose picture. In newer DLPs (samsung) fan#2 is very hard to get to in front unlike older models in back but one thing to be aware of is there are 3 screws that when removed allow guts to slide out to get to fan, not necessary for lamp replacement though. Had to have perfect screw driver(phillips) to get to fan.....too small or too big won't work or fat as well, that was biggest problem&remembering order disassembled. writng on fan should be facing you at back of tv with wires at bottom & looped up halfway thru slot in plastic casing for fan. Whatever people do, do not touch front of lamp when working on any part of tv, made that mistake & now have to replace lamp, simple though costly. also should have tv turned off for approx. 6-8 hours so tv discharges fully before working on it.

Found it to be $27.00 cheaper & faster from samsungparts.com than partstore.com
for lamp assemb. & fan was about $3.00 cheaper & faster with samsung using 2 day shipping for each. Lamp @samsungparts.com was $150.00 without shipping which they give you several options, I took 2 day for total of $173.17 as opposed to
200.00 with 5-6 day shipping@partstore.com.

hope this can be helpful to some folks! Good luck!

I have the Samsung HLR5667. I had to replace the lamp about 2 months ago. Now the color whee was replaced, by me, today. The noise stopped but the tv will only stay on 5 seconds and then goes out with the front panel light “Lamp” flashing with High Temperature”. I my have put the larger fan in wrong…backwards or upside down. Is there any way to tell for sure how it goes in??It is the larger fan in front of the color wheel that seems to cool the lamp. There is writing on it..model number etc. Does this writing got in where it can’t be seen, or outwards and in what position? Help??
Thanks! Debbie
