46" Samsung DLP
 

46" Samsung DLP, 2 years old. The symptoms vary from:
Picture freezes.
Color is all distorted.
Can't turn TV off, need to unplug it.
5 evenly spaced wide vertical bars. Each bar is made up of 7 narrower
bars.

Damn.... I'm going back to CRTs. (My 27" is 18 years old; the
20" is 22 years old - never a problem either of them)

Any ideas? The repair bill would be just too much. I can swap boards
(if there are any). Are parts even available outside the repair
"network".

Thanks

Thanks. Here are the numbers... all the numbers :-)
Model HL-R4667W
model code: hlr4667wax/xaa
type no: at46L6

WE opened it up and just "looked arround". Was nice and clean.
Symptoms vary.... thing is erratic.
I'd say it 'resets'. Thanks again for your help.

Does it have a USB port to flash the firmware?

Just put it back together and, of course, it now works. Will not
break again Feb 3, the Superbowl.

Thanks.
