How much does it cost to replace a lamp from a 56" Samsung TV?

I have seen this problem before, from memory it has something to do with the powerup (my words) transistor. It's a relatively simple cheap part but can be fidgety to fix. It cost my parents approx $180AUD. Soldering these parts on can easily destroy nearby components even though there are YouTube videos on how to do it...DONT! Good luck & get estimated quotes on the phone, some won't give, most will.

Maybe your color wheel breaking up, if hit goes no picture or might be the lamp. If color wheel you can see it if you remove the back panel (UNPLUG TV FIRST) it's next to the lamp. Color wheel cost
Appox. $100 & If Blub Cost $75-$100 both can be bought online. Shop by you model #. If not sure what your doing call TV service Tech.

Good Luck!

I am having the same problem with mine. Did you find a solution? How much did it cost.

Sounds like the lamp might be burned out. The Lamp should be replaced every couple years. If they are not replaced they will eventually burn out. Replacement is not that difficult and just requires a screwdriver. The lamp is located at the back of the DLP TV on the left side. The lamp can be purchased online from Samsung for about $130 dollars. You might be able to find a aftermarket one for less. Just use your telivision's model number located on the right side of the TV on sticker to cross reference the bulb that is needed or there might be a sticker on the back at the lamp housing that has the lamp part number. And make sure to spend the extra money and get the Lamp with the housing together. You can buy just the lamp for cheaper but that will require you to remove the old lamp from the housing and they are fragile. Much easier installation with the housing/lamp combo.

Hi,well price depends on what part you are fixing.Technicians do charge crazy prices.For instance if your tv was a dlp and you needed to replace the lamp the part will cost around $100.00 a technician will charge you $250.I recommend NESDA technician they are honest and dont charge you as much as others do.

Once before I had this same problem and FixYa gave me the solution. When you replace the lamp door, there is a switch inside so be sure the door is put in at an angle so to hold the switch up. It solved my problem after numerous repairmen missed it.

Hello Fonzell!
Regarding the tv turning, my question is, do you hear a clicking sound? if so, it's most probable tio be your ballast, that might not have enough voltage to keep on with your lamp, and that's why it shuts off.
You could try replacing it and seeing if it resolves your issue, I believe they're running around 70 dlls..
have a great one ! :)

The lamp replacement is a do it yourself fix.

the number is 3409-000178

You probably need to replace the lamp. It's about $150, and if you buy it with the housing, it's a really easy fix, just unscrew and pull out the old one, and pop the new one in. Go here:
