46 inch DLP Problem after replacing lamp and wheel

Several months ago I replaced a lamp on my 46 inch Samsung DLP. Everything was working fine until approximately a month afterwards and the colorwheel had to be replaced or so I had assumed after speaking with several techs. I was finally able to replace the colorwheel via instructions from youtube. It was in fact the colorwheel because when I replaced it the old one was shattered. At any rate, after putting everything back together and plugging in the TV, nothing but it attempting to power on because I can hear the tone that the TV makes when it powers on. The only thing that happens is that there is a green lamp light flashing and it tries to power up again. Any ideas?

do you hear like an electrical buzzing, or any clicking? if you do it can potentially be your ballast. check your lamp as well just to see if there's any physical damage, black dots, crack in the filament etc...
If you post more details as far as the noises I'd be glad to go further into your problem :mrgreen:

No noise whatsoever. The only noise that you hear is the tone that Samsung TVs make when they cut on.

So I cracked open my Samsung again and made sure that everything was connected correctly (even the flat cable). Screwed everything back in...walah!! IT WORKED! Must have been a loose connection somewhere. Thanks everyone for your help!!
