47 " Samsung DLP Rear Projection Issues.

Dec 25, 2008 12:26PM PST

Hi guys , I been around with my DLP for long , less than one year , I have to replace the lamp ( I saw the 3 light flashing in front of the TV).
To be honest , I don't get the original part , a retailer shop in Vancouver sell me just the lamp , and the guy installed in my TV.
Less the one month , the TV start to show some issues , like a turning Off alone.
Just last night , It doesn't work anymore.
All what I can see is :
- Turn On the TV , Green light is On , but it doesn't turn On.
- After a Few seconds , The lamp start to show some short cut for behind.
- Some noise , like a frying , is coming out from behind , where the lamp is located .
- Someone suggest that maybe the Power Supply could be have a damage.

My TV is :
47" Samsung DLP Rear Projection.
Model : HLT 4675 SX/XAC.
Version : PA01.
Lamp Code : BP96-01653A (P132W).

So any kind of help , I will be very appreciated.
Thanks.

While I lived in Richmond, BC for 8 years I would get the real Samsung part next time. It's not worth taking the chance some off brand will blow out a power supply or worse.
