WD-65C9 error code 61 no picture blinking red light

Hi guys i have a WD-65C9 that gives me a few seconds of audio before shutting off with a blinking red light. When you hold enter + down it gives an error code of 61, "No LAMP-EN output from the engine to the ballast Bad Color Wheel (Loose J6 or J7 connector)". So i replaced the color wheel, and i still get the same error.

With the back off i can see that none of the fans are spinning, and i don't hear the color wheel. It's about as dead as can be. Any ideas? As I'm at a loss on how to proceed.

Not yet, but i seem to remember that the fans start first, then the color wheel, and finally the lamp. I'll order one up, but I'm getting nothing back there. Someone mentioned to check the caps on the power supply, and after a close visual inspection I can't find any signs of bloating or anything. I went back and checked J6 and J7 just be be sure without any luck as well.

yep Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Hmm safety switch? like the lamp door switch? when it's not engaged the front LED blinks orange.
Nothings working outside of the little LED on the front thats mocking me. The audio was too but, i unplugged the cable box when i moved the TV out.
I pulled it out, and did it again just to make sure the contacts were facing up.

Sorry its been a minute i actually had jury duty in downtown Detroit of all places..... LOL! but anyway since the last episode I replaced the lamp (OEM), lamp ballast, and the PWB-POWER board which happened to be on sale for 20 bucks so i figured what the heck. The end result being no change in anything

Sailing further down the error codes i see "Code 61 - No Lamp Enable is received at the PWB-MAIN and Ballast.". Assuming the MAIN board is functioning correctly, does that mean that the Optical engine is telling the MAIN board not to flip the switch? Or does that mean the MAIN board is not getting the enable signal from the engine at all? Either way it sounds like it's the Engine board right? I mean there isn't much else to the thing but the board, lens, and the color wheel. It also looks like the board controls the fans as well.

If my math adds up got one of those boards?

Nothings doing anything back there
No i don't have a multimeter handy, but i installed a brand new power supply when i put in the new bulb and ballast.
Just did a reset (held power for 8 seconds) it rebooted, and there was no change. Gives the same error code.

Yep kept all the old parts because i figure since theres nothing really wrong with them they could be useful down the line.
Absolutely no change what so ever.
I'm gonna borrow or buy a multimeter this weekend, i probably should have gotten one when this all started.

Looks like the engine board, dmd board, formatter board.... whatever you wanna call it was the problem.

Thanks for lending a hand shes as good as new

shopjimmy.com was out of stock at the time so i grabbed a used one off ebay.
