HLN 467 picture issues
Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2012 1:59 am
I'm having some odd problems with my DLP. Periodically the lamp is shutting down, sometimes it just shuts off, other times I get an odd, frozen black and white image. The LEDs are not flashing nor have there been any error messages so there is no indication of an error or reason. If I shut it off with the remote or the power button, it will not turn back on and the lamp light blinks but if I unplug it and plug is back in, it fires right back up.
I bought the unit used so I don't know much about it's history. The picture is bright, so I don't think the lamp is failing. There is some faint color wheel whine at start up but it doesn't sound to damning at this point. When I shut in off and restart with the remote, I do get a noise that sounds like a failing fan but there's been no indication of an over heat. The noise does not occur if I unplug it before restarting and I wouldn't think I could restart it if it was overheated. I did open it up to clean it out. It was surprisingly clean and all the fans turned freely.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
