The white dots of DOOM!
Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2009 11:17 pm
OK I've got a samsung 50 in DLP , model HL-S5086WX/XAA , its about four years old.
Bout a few weeks ago a white dot showed up on my screen , now there is lots of white dots, some solid , some flickering.
I've been researching this the past couple days, and it seems to be a very common issue with samsung DLP's.
The general concensus is that it is the DMD chip or whatnot which cannot be replaced itself , and that you must replace the entire DMD board.
If this is the case , then im trying to find out the best place to find this part(at a reasonable price) and possibly the part number if anyone might know it by chance.
Is this a complicated procedure to replace this board.
Im an automible mechanic ,so i think this might be something i could handle.
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks
