Would we have any TV techs on board by any chance?

TV powers on lamp doesn't come and control button flashes standby-timer-lamp. Checked lamp terminals on back-no power. Also checked contiunity between connectors on lamp-none (regular lamps would indicate blown-no experience with these though. Color wheel was just recently replaced. I'm thinking lamp or power supply may be bad or both. Lamp about $100 bucks and power supply about $100. Wondering if it's worth fixing. Any ideas anybody?

Thanks

I'm not a tech but have had to replace one lamp on my 47" Samsung (your TV's big brother

). Yes, its been worth it. And it will still be worth it the next time I have to do it.

Check the return policy where you're going to buy your lamp. That way, if it turns out to be something else you can return the lamp.

Thanks ystr. The tv belongs to my son. I can't seem to find the parts locally so would have to order online. From reading reviews it seems the model had a lot of problems. That's why I was wondering if it was worth spending the money on.
