Strong Noise when turn on DLP SP-50L3HR

[ekruas]

I have a sansung dlp sp-50l3hr
it has about 2 years old
this week, i turn it on and about 30 seconds a very strong and weird noise appear
then i run to the wall socket and turn it off, and a the noise was getting weak
for sure is a spin thing

then a open the back of the tv

and i see a fan, i unplug it and turn the tv on, the noise continues,
its not this first fan, i think its the lamp fan,
how i reach there?

Do you have any LEDs blinking on the front pannel?

When it's a fan issue the Timer and the Standby LEDs should be blinking according to your manual. There's another possibility, maybe is a problem with your colorwheel, do you have any problem with your picture?

However I think you should see the another fan if remove the whole back cover.

erkuas,
The problem you are describing is 90% chance your color wheel! Do not attempt to turn on the TV any more as you may damage other components within your TV. Look here:

http://guides.fixyourdlp.com/samsung/bp96-01579a.php

This a good guide on what your color wheel is and how to replace it.

The color wheel you need is BP96-00674A but be careful!!! There are 2 versions of the color wheel.. If you buy bare, make sure you buy the right one.. If you buy the whole assembly, make sure you know what the difference is and you change the jumper accordingly.. Look here for more information about the 2 versions:

someone can help?

It seems to be a silver bearing color wheel, but just to make sure you can remove it from the chassis, anyway you'll do that when replacing it.

alternatively you can order the complete wheel assembly including the housing.. that's what I did from the partstore.com

i have to buy just the color wheel or the color wheel and the housing?

[Angel]

[ekruas]

so,
if my color wheel is silver i can buy a silver color wheel without the housing
but can i buy a gold one without the housing??

[Angel]

[ekruas]

where can i buy the color wheel with the housing?
there are many models or just one?
what is the problem with the jumper?
