I ordered and replaced the bulb...
I ordered and replaced the color wheel...
I ordered and replaced the ballast...
Over $400.00 invested in repairs...
And before it shut down I got the black vertical line (light tunnel syndrome)
The strange thing is the bulb is still not coming on tried the old one and 2 different new ones.
The tv is 3 years old, I would never buy another DLP again...
The bearings in the color wheel were shot so I needed that.
The Bulb had 3 years on it so that is justified for, so far.
I bet I am looking at a rebuilding my light engine for another $400.00
Then it could still be the DMD board. I don't know what to do, probably part it out.
The symptoms are the same, I get a few leds that come on a click from the ballast fans and wheel run, but the lamp never fires up...
This troubleshooting is costly.
Any opinions on this DLP tragedy?
Am I missing something here on the troubleshooting?
Thanks for everyones input on the forum.
