I have a samsung hlp5063wx/xaa Everybody, almost has told to replace the lamp. I did,still nothing. My question is, if the color wheel quits, will this keep the lamp from working. It was whining for a few months.
Thanks for any help

Since I posted a few how-to articles on repairing Samsung DLP televisions, I get a lot of email about the subject.
I'm not a TV repair-man (well I guess I am now technically, but not by trade) and I cannot offer professional advice, but that's never stopped me before!
Here are a few questions that are representative of what I've been...
You power on your Samsung DLP. It takes extra long to turn on. Lots of clicking and a few power cycles? Your TV is trying a few times to get that pesky lamp going. Finally, the process ends with the dreaded three blinking lights. Your lamp is probably burned out. You've got a replacement lamp, right? ;)
First, sometimes you can...
