I have a big DLP TV in my family room but its about 5 years old.
Recently I had started having lamp issues.
In the past I wouldve just called it in, but this time I did the homework, ordered the part and did the install.
I thought that that was pretty good but then I noticed a growing hum from the back that eventually turned into a high pitch whine.
Some research said it was likely the colorwheel.
I watched this video set on Youtube:
YouTube - Replacing the color wheel in a Samsung DLP Television
and I felt empowered to do it. So I ordered the part and just spent about :45 minutes replacing the colorwheel AND it worked first time!
I cant believe I didnt screw this up and I saved hundreds of dollars, if not a grand if I'd have had to bought another one.
I just cant believe it...
And Im getting a spiffy new haircut today too!
