I have a Samsung 50" DLP TV, model HLN5056W, that I had the lamp repaired on 2 years ago. A week ago it would not come on (either with remote or with power button on side of set) unless you unplug the tv and let it reset (best guess). It would come on and play all day long but each morning had to have this routine repeated. Finally that routine has stopped working. Service reps came out to replace lamp and found it wasn't bad. Service shop says (phone person - not tech) that it is a DMB (?) board. Estimate cost $276 for board and $379 for labor. Before I invest more money into this TV (bought new 2 1/2 years ago) does that sound like this could be the problem and is this about the cost of this type of repair?

Same thing. Had it repaired a year ago and they replaced lots of parts. It is happening again. Wow did I get ripped off when buying this hi end tv.
Only difference is i recieved this tv broken, took it to the shop and they replaced the lamp and (i believe) the ballast board. this was 9 months ago. now if i unplug it and plug it back in, i get tv for almost a minute, then the screen goes black with audio, than the whole thing shuts down and all 3 lights (top 2 green, bottom red) start blinking.and alot of people seem to have the same problem, seems like maybe a manufacturer defect?
ntree, link to your post on the dmd board? i cant find it in your posts
