You think that is loud? You can't sit in the same room with mine when it starts buzzing. Thinking maybe some clock oil

I've an older samsung that has always had a wheel hum. I have gone through only one lamp so far...I just ordered a new one to get ready for this 3 year old Osram (that was supposed to last only a year) to burn out.

How big of a deal is it to change out the color wheel on an HLS5086W? Surely mine is about to begin a downward spiral.

I replaced my noisy color wheel successfully but the noise you shared with us was not the noise I had. Mine was a loud steady hum. I think the bearing failure can create a variety of noises - all bad!

ya he replacement had improved bearings

they went to an air bearing

if you werent real careful with this you broke it

hell, I put a cple drops of high grade motor lubricant on mine, and the squealing stopped.

wonder why he is replacing it? it looks like the tv is working.. i have to replace mine but it is unwatchable.. maybe there are different degrees of damage?

[Hyperite]
