Samsung model HLR5087WX/XAA- no picture

Good morning. At turn on lamp tries to light 3 times- visible through back of unit. It makes a loud, hi-pitched noise while it starts and then the unit shuts down. The lamp is new. Thanks if you can assist me-Mike

deferce,

Often, high-pitched sounds within a DLP can be attributed to the color wheel. You might want to schedule a service tech to come out and take a look, but that may be the cause of the noise.

Hope that helps.

Yes indeed, it was the color wheel assembly. The dealer cost is about $110.00 plus shipping. All is well- Mike
