DLP rear projection TV part 1

[@msylvain59]

One day I picked up a defective DLP protector for autopsy purpose... Upon opening I found it was an easy fix, some internal connector was not seated correctly ! I still have it and use it sometimes, but then I still need to autopsy a DLP-fitted projector. I've already processed several 3-LCD ones by the way, including a very big and expensive Sony VPL-VW12HT. Keep this coming, I love autopsy videos (and already watched 3 times the complete kuka robot autopsy videos from the Geek Group)

[@user117831]

I had an LG DLP since 2005. My bulbs are down to about 85 dollars. I use it as a bedroom TV. The standard def. on these never looked good, but the high def. screen looks just as good as some of those cheap LCD's you see out now.

[@shirleykarim1540]

I have a 2001 RCA I need the black protection screen where can I get one

[@phazonxl]

Smoking really does ruin everything.

[@eryonzane]

I still have one of these and it still works and even does full hd

[@OlegKostoglatov]

The cord is worth a grand total of $.02 as scrap since it's a thin gauge of wire and is classified as dirty copper, it takes a lot of them to make any money, it's easier picking bottles.

[@raneemalmadi2505]

This is! LED thinner than DLP!❤

[@Aussie50]

wow, never seen a TV like that before!, can';t wait till the next part! definitely sounds like bearings are spun in some component. I guess it should go the way of RP and CRT Tv's and get scrapped regardless of being fixable.

[@greywolfdakota9350]

That TV is done for might as well go ahead and use it for parts

[@niacal4nia]

It's the color wheel, mine made the same noise and being an updated air bearing, all I had to do was use some compress air to clean the dust on bearing, If you have the old ball bearing type, you can either oil or get new color wheel.

[@tHeJaMeZsH0w]

Laps are always worth replacing its usually about 200 dollars. To buy a new tv cost way more

[@Resist4]

I know this is old, but the problem with the buzzing and the bad picture is the color wheel. I have a 2003 Samsung 60" DLP and it's making that same sound. I've replaced the color wheel before when one shattered. I thought about buying a new TV but it will cost me less to repair this one, besides it's a great picture when it's woking.

[@stuarttacey]

That Panasonic is special as if i remember correctly, it can accept HD signals at 480P via the Progressive Scan RGB cable, only analogue audio/video but still HD! I don't care about all the marketing rubbish, LCD, LED and Plasma still cannot match the picture quality of a great CRT display!

[@WickedEngineer]

yeah.... colorwheel ! unbalanced or bearings worn out ! you can try some wd40 on it, directly injected into the bearings...or just dip the whole assembly and let it soak...worked for me quite often. get a decent crt rear projection unit ;)

[@TalksWithDirt]

I got one of these off of craigslist. It's a nice 720P machine. I run Linux and MythTV.

[@onalazyafternoon]

fan stays on to cool the bulb. new bulbs are cheap.. surf web. I have a 52" HD - ila rear projection t.v. .. thats the fan.. noisy.. replace or clean it with compressed air.... my bulb is 44 dollars. It is analog.. you need a digital converter box... noisy fan.. my television was several thousand when new.. it is STILL WORTH IT to buy a new bulb every decade... my first bulb replacement this week.. had this for many many years.. it was my sisters.. they bought it new.. she bought an newer one.. gave me this one.

[@stuarttacey]

Can you still buy CRT TVs over there in the states? I really wanted a Panasonic TX-36PD50. I have a Samsung UE40C5800, mid range LED backlit but the picture is so poor compared to old CRTs. Maybe due to the 576i Freeview digital signal being upscaled to fit the 1080 pixels of the screen!

[@MichelJosephCardin]

What would happen if I added a second bulb and used it as a protector on a wall. Would the ballast detect it if I connected them in parallel.

[@gatito339]

very clever wheel color bearing is bad,my tv dlp zenith replace the lamp,is not working,power in on put not light I think my ballast is bad what did u think advise,

[@wraith0127]

I'm not sure b/c of youtube's inability to reproduce sound depth, but I saw there was a secondary fan just slightly up and to the right (left if viewed from the front of the tv) and laying down that might have also been the source of the buzzing noise. I have a fridge on my truck that makes that same sound, and it's one of the fans going bad.

[@RODALCO2007]

Interesting that TV has the lamp instead of the 3 CRT's underneath.

[@musicman257]

you can always tweak the picture to get a better picture But the fan would be a pain had an amplifier that did that and just disconnected the fan.tvs might be different

[@toonamivhs4176]

are lamps hard to come by? I see loads of these a bad picture

[@billyidolrockstar522]

That nice tv

[@Surdo13]

Was wondering if you could help me? I have a dlp basically the same as this, I have an hln617w which looks exactly like this! My tv blows a small glass fuse on the sub power board when you try to turn it on, would it be the main power board or the ballast?

[@listenmyfriendfranklin6325]

I have one similar to this, but with access openings on the side. My picture is somewhat dull and hazy. I’ve tried cleaning the mirror without great results. I’m wondering if I would damage the screen by cleaning the INSIDE of it. Also, what should I use? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[@MichelJosephCardin]

Cleaning everything is best. Cigarette smoke and just regular air particles will do it because of the flow of air as constant as it does flow; almost acts as a filter. Not sure which part you were referring to but even the dlp backlight bulb would need cleaning as well as the cooling system fan and ducts.

[@ladraper7134]

I have a small fan blowing on the back of my dlp. it is about 6 yrs old.

[@Skracken]

Looking forward to the next part! :)

[@joeldude76]

Its probably because your watching it on standard def if it was high def it would look a lot better.

[@kittychaos1010]

Dude stuck his finger in a fan. I expected blood and body parts flying everywhere.

[@kenwood7592]

I have a 50 inch Samsung i replaced the color wheel the power circuit and when i turn it on it play beautifully for about 5 min the the picture goes out but there is still sound why?

[@raneemalmadi2505]

haaaay samsung 42” plasma is avaible now❤❤

[@954RyN]

either dirty projector lenses or dying lcd backlight bulbs. either way you probably can't fix it. not that someone else couldn't but this should be common sense.

[@AndrewKoala]

Mr. Coppercut took the Power Cable.

[@jamessteele8946]

it keeps making a funny noise every time I turn it off it sounds like it's coming from the back right side where the fan is

[@bluefoxtv1566]

If i had that TV i fix the noise problem and use it. I don't care about the scratch on the screen. It's probably not the noticeable when on.

[@thedogememesproductions6354]

Yes i finally got the same tv as you

[@samuelreuter1996]

I swear i saw this in black mesa.

[@moy01]

How can I remove the yellow color from the screen

[@balaram6544]

This tv sapyar parts available

[@008626]

Just based on how you can hear it spin up, it's almost definitely the color wheel. The motor's bearings are probably shot.

[@elsayedmnem1051]

Plese soft ware

[@sanjuanmartinez461]

How can I Unlock it

[@AngelLopex300]

same thing to me but the projecter dident work.

[@NightOwlGames]

i have a "projection tv" whats that mean?

[@hometowncolor]

Julian john It means that it has the same bulb inside it that a projector you would find at an office or a school would

[@HDXFH]

DLP TV's are Totally Pointless!, the technology seems way out of date, hence why Samsung only made them, Lots of cool parts inside those

[@penngwennati4128]

why would you make a video when you have no time?

[@minbcraft]

wow, 1080p60 on a 2011 video ;)

[@andreap555]

There is another fan near there, maybe it could cause the noise

[@thedogememesproductions6354]

Its the color wheel

These TV's were so crap

need to configure picture tubes manually

Renee Terrill there is no picture tube it has to have the lens calibrated because there is ajustment on the chip

calling people who uses electric parts, such as wires ect from junk, thief is just offensive and not objective. All over the world people are crying "don`t throw everything away, think of the nature" and than usually the same assholes offend people who recycle. *facepalm*
