In my experience, the fans in the Samsung’s are fairly reliable…and unlikely to fail (although it can happen!)

A more likely scenario is the color wheel being stuck against the housing and preventing the imaging coming on the screen.

Also ask for the differences. When it comes to lamps, generic is not the way to go. We don't have anyone to build this guide yet either!

I replaced the lamp in mine as well. I was told by the rep that it is the fan that needs replaced, but I too am hesitant to replace it as I am not sure where in the TV the fan is located, or what is involved with replacing it. Would love some help! I chatted with a Samsung rep because my HLR5067W is doing the same thing. I replaced the lamp in mine as well.

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) Maybe you already have wasted money for fans.

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 :) Are you sure it’s the fan? A humming noise could be a color wheel!!!
