Did you just pull that out of your head?  Impressive.

I called the number and they are sending someone next week to fix it. 

It is the DMV chip that will be replaced, and they will pay for it.


Yea, thanks :)

Cool that they are fixing it for free. I assume it's under warranty, or is it a recall item?

think it's a recall.  The person on the phone knew exactly what the problem was.  They will place the DMV chip but if there's other problems, then they will charge me. 

How old is your DLP to still have warranty?

If my LED light engine dies on my DLP I may as well throw it out...1000 bucks.

It's 3 yeears old.  And it's not under warranty.

but Samsung will pay for this.

Samsung sent an independent contractor to come and fix my T.V. today.  He was here for about an hour and replaced the broken DMV chip.  1 by 3/4 inch size.  He also cleaned the inside of the t.v. so now the picture looks sharper and brighter.

He told me that Samsung t.v. are excellent but the dmv chip has a problem and he's been replacing them.  It's not made by Samsung.  Apparently Samsung started using Texas Instrument dmv chips about three years ago.  Don't know if they still use TI chips, but I guess the problem is fixed on the newer dlp t.v.s

he also told me not to put anything on the top of the t.v.

TI invented that technology, so they might be the only people who supply those chips.
