How do I replace the color wheel on my samsung tv?

I did this. It was moderately difficult task. I could not find photo instructions for my model, but found them for similar models. Its been several months since I replaced the wheel so I'm glossing over the process. Start by disconnecting all the input and output cable. I recommend marking them and taking a digital photo for reference. Remove the screws to remove the back cover. There are a lot of them and some are not obvious. Take your time. The ones on the outside wings kept catching me. Document where the screws came from. Remove the cover. You will probably have to remove the lamp assembly, lens and shroud. There will be wires that get hung up, so trace them to the connector on the board and gently remove the connector. Document, document, photo, photo along the way. Once you get to the color wheel, which mine was buried and not easy to get at. Remove the 3 screws holding it in place. (top, bottom and back if I recall) Removing the tiny little connector wire is very difficult as the connector will probably shatter. Then you pick out the pieces with a pick and tweezers. Someone else suggested leaving that end in tact and reusing the wire. I did not do that although I might consider it if there is a next time. Once the color wheel is reseated, wire connected and screws replaced reverse reassemble everything you took apart up to now. lens, shroud, lamp, any wire connectors removed, side plastic and finally back cover. Reconnect all the inputs and output cables. I'm fairly handy but had to make my way through the TV as there were no step by step instructions that I could find. Total time about 7 hours (2 hours of picking the broken connector pieces out of the socket) If I had it to do again I could probably do it in 3 hours.

I went to youtube and typed in the question. You see plenty of videos that will show you step by step what to do.

Gee, I can't remember if I googled the directions or if the directions came with the color wheel. I do remember it was easier and quicker to do than expected. I'm sorry, I'm not really much help!

I had the same issue (turn off after a few minutes). I called a Samsung tech rep and they told me to replace the bulb. I did that and had the same issue. I called Samsung again and they recommended I replaced the ballast, so I bought this and replaced it and still had the same issue. When I called Samsung again, they said I now have to take it to someone for service because the control board had to be replaced. I decided it wasn't worth any more money, so after over $100 in parts and a few hours of my time, my TV ended up in a recycling center. If you have a Samsung DLP, you can look through some online forums and see that this is a common problem with these units. I had the same issue (turn off after a few minutes).

Paul, call Samsung 800-726-7864 I think you may have a bad remote if when you click it on and your red light doesn't do anything on the TV. Also, the sensor on the TV is small, so be sure you are holding the remote straight and level towards the sensor which is whee the red light is. The remotes are a trip and they are touchy items. Good Luck! I hope this helped.

Rick H, It sounds like it will need service. Reach out to the Samsung customer service center to try some troubleshooting. If that doesn't work, they can set your TV up for a repair. Thanks for your support of Samsung products. --Mr. S

Replacing it is very easy, remove the back, pull the engine out, you will need to unplug the fan wires to pull out the engine. tag these so you remember where they go. pull the fan box off, pull the two connectors off the LED, pull the Heatpipe connected to it, remove the LED, coat the new LED lightly with heat sink compound (you can get this at radio shack for about $3, install it and reverse the disassembly procedure and you are done. I called Samsung for the part. Here is what I paid for a Blue LED.Part Number Description Quantity Unit Price Total BP07-00031A LED DISPLAY / BLUE 1 $132.47 $132.47 You might need a star bit for the screws, i don't remember.good luck.

It was very easy on my TV. Open front panel and use a Phillips screwdriver to remove one screw. Pull bulb out and replace.

Mine is a larger tv but had the same problem. While replacing the bulb, I noticed that the color wheel was in pieces. I replaced both & the picture is ok now. There are plenty of instructions on the net. Tip: wear gloves. I got a bad cut from sharp metal. Good luck.

It actually sounds like one of your cooling fans went out. Which would explain it turning off because of risk of overheating. With that being said you should probably replace both fans and the color wheel. They all run on bearings and if one failed then the rest WILL follow. The fans are pretty simple to replace and are priced at about $5 each. Plus why take the TV apart twice or three times!

Depending on your retail fix-it shop (recommend using an authorized dealer) - they most likely will just replace the entire color wheel (light engine)... for this TV, I would say it is worth it as those color wheels are guaranteed longer than the TV itself. 20 yrs, I believe. But if you ordered the part online and put it in yourself, should be under $75. Hope this helps.

This replacement lamp should fit most of the Samsung TVs in this category. Before you place your order, make sure you double check the lamp code. This code is normally on an orange label on one of the sides of the TV set. You can also go to http://www.samsung.com/us/support/ and look for the specifications of your TV set. Additionally, this code is located inside the box attached to the lamp that came with the unit.

Possibly. My Samsung TV is about the same vintage as yours. This replacement works just like the one that came with the TV.

If it is only the cristal display then that's the only piece you need. There are some tutorials on youtube on how to change it, as you'll need to be careful with the plastic pieces that cover the display, since they are really fragile. The whole process should not take more than 30 to 40 minutes to replace it.

I installed the one on my Samsung 57" DLP a few years ago, and it's still working great. I did a searched as Bill suggested, and found a few must see videos. Installing the new color wheel was a delicate procedure on my 57" DLP, it's a tight it. Be very careful removing the wire end connector from the PC board. The PC board connector gets very hot and becomes brittle. Replacing the connector on the PC board is not something you want to do. Good Luck! Bill K...

I found the following site helpful http://www.tvserviceparts.com/Samsung_Color_Wheels.html My tv HLR5667WX/XAA has two color wheels listed on this site. Which one was the right one depended on a sub model number (when it was made). Check your model number.

You probably can't. They have three models: white, blue, and blue/red. I've seen the comment as well but my keyboard is only blue. Probably just a mix-up that's easily understood since there doesn't seem to be a part number on the keyboard and they look identical.

Judi, the fan should not need replacing. There will be a lot of dust inside. Get a can of compressed air to blow out the dust. When you replace the color wheel, DO NOT touch the optics. The anti-reflective coating is very soft and will scratch easily. Even a fingerprint cannot be wiped off without damaging the coating. Replacement optics are hard to find and usually used so no telling the condition. Yes that seems to be the right lamp.
