Replacing Lamp Fan
Monday, April 14th, 2008 @ 10:57 am
- I need step-by-step instructions on how to access the lamp fan in my 27-month-old Samsung HLR5067W. After speaking with Samsung, the loud humming noise I hear when turning on the television is caused by an inoperable fan. I replaced the lamp two months ago. I ordered both the lamp fan (3 1/4 BP31-00010B) and the DMD Board Cooling Fan (BP31-00011A). Had no problem replacing the DMD fan; but the lamp fan is behind the lamp and barely visible. I am hesitant about indiscriminately removing screws to get at the fan. If anyone knows exactly what I need to do to safely remove and replace the fan, I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
DLJ

Are you sure it’s the fan? A humming noise could be a color wheel!!! And you have to be careful about saying you spoke with Samsung. There’s Samsung support located at www.samsung.com and there’s an authorized distributor like samsungparts.com that will sell you generic parts and give you poor advice.
Is someone making a guide for this procedure, that would be awesome

Maybe you already have wasted money for fans.
Call repair men.
Ask them how much to change color wheel.
You may shop around repair guys, find out more reliable and better price.
( ask about warranty their job)

the lamp light stays lit and then the tv turns itself off; however, as it is doing this it is also making this weird wirrring, wriiing, some sort of a whirring noise like a dying bee: could this mean that the fan or something else has also gone wrong?
