I did this to my older PS3 I purchased on the release date (20GB no Wi-Fi). With just a heat gun and some PC board heat conducting gel and it worked perfectly after. On youtube you can also find how to upgrade the memory on this 1st gen PS3. I upgraded the memory to 250 GB! back playing Metal Gear S...

I could not find anything like a factory defect/recall for Viewsonics with this defect. did you resolve the issue?

grayfox

Hello,

wow ok so judging from th B&W portion of your post then the fail to ignite it sounds like a sure colorwheel fail. Just to rule out a digital video board being fried from the faulty box and rigged hookup, have you tried some sort of factory reset?

I was on the hunt for a Helicopter, but I decided to wait until someone posts about them, I saw them at FRYs like I mentioned on a previous post. I ordered a bluetooth speaker directly from their website, I will be posting a review shortly!

Has anybody purchased and used one of these Remote Helicopter toys? I want one, I saw a huge one at FRYS by this brand at a very low price...

If anyone has please let me know what you think!

Hello! Having tried my fare share of "android HDMI sticks" to Android TV boxes, I was wondering what your thought are on these??? they seem to have a superior advantage to my regular smart TV for you can use any APP with a peripheral like a mini wireless key/mouse and run your TV like a giant phone!...

Hello curlyjoe99, Hmm the fan might not be getting the power it needs.. If both fans appeared to turn slower, this might let the lamp compartment get too hot and trip the thermostat, or maybe this is the exhaust speed compared to the inlet. This lamp lasted a long time so my first recomendation woul...

hi hwsagent05, Hello I apologize for my absence, I got help up on a project which did not leave room to blog about! Sometimes ballast or lamp enclosure parts are updated for various reasons, for example: To promote a longer lifespan. The guys at DM are really good at finding parts and lamps, was the...

Hello, After looking everywhere for a fix for this issue, I called up Discount-Merchant and the guys there said that my TV needed a new "T-CON" board. Apparently this is a common issue with all LG, Vizio, Sharp, and Sony sets that take the same board (they just run different software on each). Essen...

I think the most valuable piece of experience I can share is that the Lamp is not always the problem! BUT , as a trained and seasoned vet in the field , it is the first thing one should try for its simplicity, because it is consumable, and price ;) The other 2 consumable parts once a lamp has been r...

hhhmmm Colorado have you done that before? I have not

grayfox

wow yeah I imagine its possible, but I have personally have not calibrated the mirrors myself, unless one fell completely out of its holding... is this the case?

grayfox

hello brbrm!

Have you taken a look at the guides on the homepage?

grayfox

this can be the colorwheel.. did you get any color distortion before it shut down?

grayfox

hello jukky, so you're getting sound, that means the input board is working, what types of inputs have you used? this may be cause by the digital video board (which turns analog into digital signal over to the DMD so its ready for projection on your screen). Or it very well might be the DMD board, i...

grayfox

Hello,
Most of the times if only the colors seem to be affected the most, in DLPs another popular consumable part besides the lamp is the colorwheel, and its does not necessarily affects the image but the colors. it is sometimes accompanied with a screeching or whirling sound...
Hope this helps.

grayfox

Hello,
This is most likely a digital video board issue.. especially if it does it on both analog and digital inputs..
Hope this helps.

grayfox

Hello,
I would assume this is some type of power supply or software issue. I guess we can start by describing in detail like temperature, does it shut down more when its hot? or less when the weather is cold?
Hope I can help!

grayfox

Hello,
If you are getting no image just a blue screen I would first double check every input, if the DMD board fails it can cause this image malfunction, so I would make sure its not a simple input mistake first!
Hope this helps.

I normally get my parts from discount-merchant.com. what model TV do you have?

grayfox

yup you have to be careful with that fine print, store policies are rough.

grayfox

very sneaky people out there, but there must be some kind of Quality Control or Inspection... let me take a look and I'll let you know, good luck with them!

grayfox

ok, if you can get a part number off the board let me know ill help you find it if they cannot replace it =)

grayfox

oh no!

who is the company?? maybe this is a common issue with this model...

grayfox

Hello,
Yes it actually doesn't come with an HDMI cable, if you want to hook it up that way you have to buy one. It comes with the standard component cables Y, R and W. (video, audio left and right)

grayfox

godd luck, let us know how it goes!

grayfox

yup that was noted, I was asking if you meant changing all three at the same time ! that sucks

grayfox

wow, so maybe the root problem lies in the PS?

grayfox

hello samsungtech,

i think you posted a similar response somewhere but, by "SMPS" et all, you mean this problem can only be fixed completely by changing the power supply, ballast and the lamp??? thank you!

grayfox

grayfox

Anybody???

grayfox

Yes it might very well be the Analog input board!

grayfox

If you have this exact model, then you have to remove the entire front panel beneath the screen (uncovering the speakers). It snaps off... and there you will find the lamp door cover, make sure to fit the lamp in properly!

grayfox

hhmmmm was your replacement lamp an OEM Philips brand lamp.

grayfox

Yes you should be able to find an input board online and find that installation is no problem! as long as the screen is not damaged in an LCD it should work fine!
