Replaced lamp and ballast...now what?
Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 6:43 pm
My Samsung DLP Slim HLT5075XA/XAA stopped working one day and the lamp light was on. I replaced the lamp and the TV worked fine for 2 days. On the 3rd day the TV developed half to 1 inch vertical white lines across the screen. We shut the tv off and now tv does not come on. The lamp and fan comes on for 8-10 seconds then shuts back off and the standyby/temp and lamp lights blink. I replaced the ballast and no change. I reset the lamp counter after both replacements. The TV powers on, the lamp illuminates for about 8 seconds and then the TV shuts off with standby and lamp lights blinking. I get the audio power on and off sound when it powers up and down. No strange sounds from color wheel or anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
