Im pretty stoked
I have a big DLP TV in my family room but its about 5 years old.
Recently I had started having lamp issues. In the past I wouldve just called it in, but this time I did the homework, ordered the part and did the install. I thought that that was pretty good but then I noticed a growing hum from the back that eventually turned into a high pitch whine. Some research said it was likely the colorwheel. I watched this video set on Youtube: YouTube - Replacing the color wheel in a Samsung DLP Television and I felt empowered to do it. So I ordered the part and just spent about :45 minutes replacing the colorwheel AND it worked first time! I cant believe I didnt screw this up and I saved hundreds of dollars, if not a grand if I'd have had to bought another one. I just cant believe it... And Im getting a spiffy new haircut today too!

LOL, I'm the opposite end of the spectrum. DirecTV brought me a new dish Saturday and my DVD player suddenly was playing movies in black and white. I was sure it was something the tech did when he was setting everything back up. And after an hour of resetting and testing everything, I was getting ready to call them, when I noticed the hi res cable from the DVD to the TV had come unplugged, which I did when I moved it for him....Doh!
If I was in your shoes I would be out today spending $1,000 on a new TV, repainting the walls where I blew the old one up trying to fixt it and hoping my eyebrows grow back evenly. |

Why do you think he's "getting a spiffy new haircut"? I think there's more to this story he's not telling. |

Sorry didn't mean to scare you. We have found that most QRF (quick return failures) happen within 1 week of repair. I have spent a good amount of time analyzing the who's, how's, and what's of my guys and I am convinced it may just be manufacturing short comings. But it has been my experience if it lasts a week, it will lasts as long as new or longer. |
