The bottom-right corner is the brightest and the brightness fades-out linearly to top-left corner. It has an very clear dark line around the diagonal line. I entered service mode and found lamp hour is near 3200. Can you tell me whether this is caused by an pre-fail lamp? will change the lamp fix the problem? Also, the fan is kind of noisy, is it in the same position of the lamp so I can clean it up? Any help is highly appericated, thanks! |

Youi½ll need to replace the light tunnel or the light engine to solve this issue. This link has a short description of the light tunnel: http://www.oerlikon.com/ecomaXL/index.php?site=OPTICS_EN_lighttunnel This is how the light passes through the light engine: http://www.oerlikon.com/ecomaXL/index.php?site=OPTICS_EN_dlp_rptv_light_engine So I think that a new lamp woni½t resolve your problem but you may need one in a couple of months because the lamp lifespan is around 6000 hours (sometimes it could last up to 8000 hours) but if the lamp starts to go bad, youi½ll get the next symptoms: >You would get audio with no picture >You would get a dark image in the whole screen >Youi½ll get audio and video but the TV might turn of after a couple of minutes (this is a rare symptom) This website has a lamp troubleshooting wizard, it might help to determine if the lamp is bad in the future: http://www.fixyourdlp.com/wizard/wizard.html Good luck sunyucong. |
