Reader Question: Samsung DLP HL-S5687 shuts off intermittenly

by on 13 April 2008

This tv is about 15 months old and all of a sudden it will shut off.. there are no blinking lights or warnings. I have checked to make sure the timer is off. This could happend randomly anywhere between 45 mins to 3 hours. It appears to be happening more frequently. If you turn the tv back on it comes on agin without problem.. Any thougths?

    I had this problem also with a HLP5663W. The TV would just switch off randomly - sometimes every few minutes, or a few times an hour. It did not happen right after switching on, so may be something had to warm up? It sort of went away. I had to replace the color wheel a very short time after the problem seemed to self-correct. I am not sure if these were connected. I am now having a problem with the lamp not coming on. I replaced the lamp and it did not help. Sorry I could not be of more help.
