Samsung HLP5063W shut down
Saturday, September 27th, 2008 @ 11:03 am
I’ve got a Samsung HLP5063W in service since January 2005 with 10,600 hours on the original lamp (smaller square lamp). About a month ago it started shutting down about 1-2 times a week. It came right back up when turned back on. This week, it’s shutting off every 20-40 minutes. It comes back up instantly when re-powered. All through-out this, the picture has been crystal clear, so I wonder if it is really the lamp that needs to be replaced.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks, Bill.
My Samsung HLR5064w started to shut off once or twice a week also. My lamb had 11,500 hrs on it so I thought it was the lamp at fault and replaced it.the tv continued to shut itself off and got more frequent as time went by. I had purchased an extended warranty at the time of puchase( november 2005)so I called and they sent a repairman. He replaced the ballast and the problem continued so he returned and took the TV to his shop. Just got it back (approx. 3 weeks later) invoice says he replaced the DMD PCB and the DMD IC. Seems to be working fine now. These parts were very expensive the DMD PCB was $501.26 , DMD IC was $269.45 and the ballast was $69.90. Nearly $850.00 just in parts is a lot considering in my local video store I can purchase A new Samsung 61 inch led dlp tv for about $1700.00 Canadian. Had it not been under warranty I probably would not have fixed it.
