Question

HL-R5067W Replaced Digital Board - No Sound

Dec 17, 2011 5:11AM PST

Hello All:
I received my digital board in the mail today and installed it in my HL-R5067W. Now, I don't have any sound and no option on the screen for Component so no HD. All it has is TV in my Source List

I have a coax running from the wall into my cable box into the TV. That seems to give me an analog picture. But it does not have sound.

I also have the Green/Blue/Red component connected into my cable box and then into the back of my TV in Component1. I have the RCA Red/White plugged into my cable box in Audio out and into the back of my TV.

What else could I be missing? I am pretty sure I hooked the TV up correctly, but not sure.

Oh and as a side note, after I replaced the digital board I had to go into the service menu and V-FLIP.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks
kp

If the tech didn't fix it, call them back and try again.

I can't tell what happened here. I've left to guess if you did some sort of guess that's it board change or such. But the service manuals on these things often have you changing many boards and not just one.

HL-R5067W Replaced Digital Board - No Sound/Component Input
Dec 17, 2011 1:34PM PST

Thanks...
I replaced the board myself. The original problem was the TV would come on, the sound would last about 30 seconds and go away, then after about 1 minutes the TV would just restart. I did a lot of research and everything pointed to the digital board. I purchased one on samsung.com and replaced it myself.

Also part of the original problem was that the remote and side buttons stopped working.

Now after replacing the digital board I have no sound and open other input option other than TV. I guess my next step is to put the old board back in and see if I have at least temporary sound and other input options.

I am a novice here and simply trying what I can.

Is there something in a service manual I can look at? I don't have one at this time and if possible would like to avoid having to put a lot of money in purchasing something else that is a 'shot' in the dark.

Any advice is much appreciated.

thanks

That cleared that up.

This is a rather famous design with some millions being replaced last year alone. At the free electronics recycle day I saw what must have been dozens of 2005'ish DLP TVs.

Listening in I heard the same old story about cost to repair being more than a new set.

The only advice I can offer:

1. Get the service manual.
2. If you must guess what part, change the cheapest part first.
