My Toshiba 50HM66

I was watching tv on my Toshiba 50HM66 and heard a loud pop. Tv went blank but i had sound. Then i heard another pop about 3 mins later and now there is no sound either. I know it needs repairs but do you know its and where i can get it done? I live in Houston,TX is there a website?

We have two of TVs and we have had to replace the lamp on one of them about once a year. We heard a pop last night and checked the lamp. It was blown. My husband took the lamp from the other tv and placed it in the one with the problem and then we ordered a lamp for the other one. This morning the TV blew the replacement lamp. Now we wonder if their is another problem and do not want to put another lamp in there and have that one blow also. Anyone else have that happen?

I suggest checking the lamp. find you owners manual and go through the steps to "replace the lamp" if it is popped and you can see little pieces moving around inside than contact toshiba and they will send you a replacement with credit card numbers of course.

I was watching my Toshiba 56mx195 DLP tv and heard a popping noise and the screen went blank but the sound was still on, is it the lamp or something worse?

You are correct in this assumption it is more than likely the lamp that blew after too many hours or getting to hot.

Tv went out after loud pop and has clicking noise does not turn on

If you have a Sony DLP, then the loud pop you heard is your lamp. The lamps last approx. 4K-6K viewing hours. Read your manual for replacement part number to reorder and very simple to replace yourself.
