Try the Service Threads:
A few days ago my model #HLT 6176SX/XAA started getting tiny white dots all over the picture and it has become progressively worse. After checking the forum it is clear that many people who purchased DLP Samsung sets ( in a variety of models) have had and are having the same exact problem. My understanding is that Samsung is not covering the issue for some models, mine included. If that is the case they will lose
me and my entire extended family as customers.
For now my primary interest is finding out exactly what is wrong and how it can be fixed. My research tells me
that the problem is a micro mirror that gets stuck. Does anybody know what the part costs and whether it can
be fixed without paying hundreds to a repairman?
Thanks in advance.
