A number of people have commented that after changing the color wheel, their red and blue colors are reversed. This is a different color wheel and a newer model set than is documented here, but, some report that by removing a jumper on the color wheel, the problem is resolved.
The jumper is as shown in this picture, below the yellow/white...
The projector lamps in DLP televisions can run upwards of two or three hundred dollars. So it goes without saying that when a lamp goes out it's painful in the pocketbook. It is also painful that your television can stop working in an instant, without warning.
Here are a few tips to keep your DLP lamp lasting as long as...

"I have a Samsung DLP TV model No. HLP5063WX/XAA.
About six weeks ago it started to hum for a few minutes during warmup, but would get quiet after a minute or two.
Now, it makes an obvious fan rubbing sound for a few minutes before quieting down. ...

I was doing some research and had a question about my Samsung HD DLP 50" TV. Model#HL-R5067-W. We were getting green and purple vertical lines on the TV at first.
Then our HD channels came in great but other stations were not coming in. We are under warranty and had a repair man out. He thinks it is the DMD card. ...

The TV will not turn on. Appears that there is no power to the TV at all. Checked all connections including wall outlet to ensure that everything is plugged in and working.
There's nothing more frustrating than nothing happening when you turn on a device!
My first question is, when did this start happening? ...
A common issue with Samsung DLPs is a scrambled picture. Many people complain about a reverse negative image, which is usually the DMD board.

I recently had an issue with my Samsung HLN617WX/XAA DLP. After watching HD channels the screen would scramble, but color and sound remained.
I called Samsung and they...
Many people with an aging Samsung DLP television get error messages on the display about the fans, such as "CHECK FAN #1". Not terribly informative, but here's what you can do to determine what fan is causing the problem.

This reader is having some strange behavior with his Samsung HLP5663W DLP.
I own a Samsung DLP model number HLP5663W. This AM I tried to turn the TV on with my remote and got no response. I pressed the circular button on the front of the set and no response. None of the three lights in that button were on. I unplugged the TV, waited...

First, I want to thank you for the great instructions on how to buy and replace our color wheel. We installed it in May and it worked like a charm.
You're very welcome!

We have a question from a reader about his Samsung HLN617WX DLP Television making a strange sound.
I have read the posts concerning the color wheel and fan #2, however, I think I have a different problem. The TV works perfectly for about an hour, then abruptly turns off and at that very moment begins making a sound similar to the siren on...
I've been wrestling with this issue for a few years now, but I think it's finally time to split off the affiliate marketing talk from Jangro.com to a new blog.
I was having lunch with a friend who's in the online world like myself and when I brought this up, he said (paraphrasing), "Why? What's in it for you? Won't this just take up your...
For a website owner who knows anything about search engine optimization, one of the scariest things in the world is changing the URL structure. Not only do you need to make sure the pages work on the new URLS, bu you have to make sure that all of your old urls properly redirect to the new ones.

I do not have video, only sound through all inputs. I can hold the volume key down and can see video, not great, but the entire screen shows but not bright. Could this be the lamp or could the problem be the...
I have a 3 year old Samsung 43" DLP. The picture is great my only problem is a horizontal picture roll that goes away once the set is warm, 15 to 30 minutes. Also it only happens on bright white scenes, like watching the hockey game. Any ideas?
I own a 46" Samsung DLP tv model #HLP4663WX/XAA. I've had the TV about 3 years and it's worked fine. About 3 weeks ago, the TV lamp went and I replaced it without any problems. Now, for the last several days, I've noticed that I have lost the color blue in my picture. Skies, swimming pools, and even the TV menu are a bright green color now...
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...
I used the instructions to replace the color wheel from this site, thanks. It took me about an hour and a half to complete the repair only because I took a lot more things apart before I found these color wheel replacement instructions.
The TV is working with no more screaming color wheel and a good picture, however the picture now has a...
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...
