Samsung DLP Flickering
If you're certain the lamp is good, it's probably the ballast. The ballast has enough juice to power the lamp, but it's unable to maintain a steady consistent level of power, hence the lamp flickering. Changing the lamp may temporarily resolve it because a new lamp is more easily maintained than an older one, but if the ballast is failing, the problem will recur and probably shorten the life of the lamp. The ballasts cost around $70-80. Replacing it can be done by the electronically adept end user, or you may need a service tech. The problem with a service tech is that some may not acknowledge that the problem is the ballast especially if the intermittent flicker is not happening while he/she is examining it.
I have the same problem as mentioned above. I have a digital cable box with Hi Def on it from Cox Cable, aswell as a Panasonic Surround Sound. All of them have their power sources connected to a surge protector and from their to the wall outlet. Please let me know if you need more information and if so what kind of information. Thanks
I have the same problem, and I have already disconected everything and just live the tv pluged to the wall. It works for for 30-45 min and start doing the same, when I turn it off and then on again it works fine for another 30 min and then it start all over.
Have a Samsung ps42p4h1 with exactly the same issue - source does not seem to be a factor as have tried a number of connection types/sources. Interference starts after around 40mins, but can be unpredictable, on most occasions a power on/off will resolve the problem. Can you help to isolate which part needs replacing?
I had the same problem with the TV going off and on, then I heard a loud popping noise and called in the priest to read the last rites.
I have the same problem, I called the company, they said it need service.
