Model HLR4667WX
The TV started making a loud humming noise, but was still working with no picture problem. Now when you turn it on, you hear a quick click, then the humming noise kicks in, it cycles a few times with the click and noise until it stops. The lamp and temp light are on and there is no picture. You have to unplug it to restart this process. I have read many threads about this problem, some say it's just the lamp. I opened the tv and I see the lamp turns on for a few seconds and then turns back off with every cycle. If the lamp was bad, will it still turn on? Also, the humming noise was going on before "the lamp went out". I have no electronics background, but have fixed some before with instructions. My TV is about 4-5 yrs old so i just want to know if it's worth fixing. Sounds like the parts are not too cheap. Any suggestions on what my problem is will be appreciated. Thank you.
