Will the color wheel casue the HLR5667W not to display a picture, while the bulb is on and no noise happening, then turns off in about 3 minutes?

Yes, the color wheel needs to spin at, I think, 18000 RPM. If not, no picture.

Make sure you put the cover of the TV back on (closes a circuit as a safety measure) - otherwise your TV won't turn on.

It actually sounds like one of your cooling fans went out. Which would explain it turning off because of risk of overheating. With that being said you should probably replace both fans and the color wheel. They all run on bearings and if one failed then the rest WILL follow. The fans are pretty simple to replace and are priced at about $5 each. Plus why take the TV apart twice or three times!

Mine has lasted 2 years now. When you installed it you did not touch the lamp at all with your fingers and transfer anything to the lamp face? That maybe could create a hot spot and it burned out? Sometimes there is just a defect. When I first installed it I must have jarred the optical block so I had a rose tint across the top of the screen about 3 inches down. After a while you learn to ignore it, but I noticed recently that the line is gone. I moved the set a bit recently to get at a side connector and I am wondering whether that jarred something back in place. Now I won't move the set at all until the bulb dies again or something else goes south.

I recently replace my own color wheel. YouTube the precise model of your TV and it will walk you through the process--took me about 30 minutes and saved me $$$

I'm pretty sure that the minimum increment of on or off time is one minute. The maximum on time is dependent on your bulb life.

Never had a problem!! My lamp (knock wood) has worked perfectly since I installed it. My old bulb was not completely burned out so I saved it in the box for next time. If you have the old bulb re-install it and see if it too flickers. If it does there is a problem with the set. If it doesn't there is a problem with the new bulb. Best advice I can give.

Sorry, but mine didn't even work that well - plugged it in & got a very bad picture, colors also far off - Flickered a few times - then never worked again. Returned to amazon.

No there is nothing you are doing wrong as long as you know the lamp works so should the bulb. It looks like you have recived a faulty bulb just as i did.

Mine did the same thing, after about 20-30 hours of use it stopped. The bulb will also occasionally flicker, though this didn't begin until it reached about 500 hours. For the money, I had no real complaints, but if you can afford it, I would go for the factory original...... most of these aftermarket bulbs do odd things, and rarely do they work perfectly out the box.

Make sure it's facing down. It has an auto shut off if your are looking Down at the wand at the bulb. Good luck

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

Yes! I have 3 bulbs in one fixture, so I don't know if its just 1 bulb or all 3 making noise. It's like a crackling/popping noise and can happen up to 5 minutes after I turn the light off.

Most Likly, inspect the bulb first if it sounds brooken when shifting it back and forth than its a bulb. If it looks fine and sounds fine it could be something else.

I am no expert by any means but that's what my old one was doing before I installed the new one. They say not to touch the bulb. Did u try reinstalling it? Maybe u got a defective one, I don't know. Maybe blow some air in there to remove some dust? Again I'm not an expert, but for me no issues.

I replaced the color wheel approx. 6 or 7 yrs after purchase , but the projection tv was a floor model and probably has a few extra miles on it just because of that! The main reason of replacement was a loud screeching noise from the wheel bearing, I guess. hope this helps

To be honest, I have never paid attention either, however the light bulb has a cooling fan to keep it cool while the TV is on and a minute or two after you turn it off. If the fan is defective, the area where the lamp is located will be warmer than usual. When you turn your TV off after about half an hour of use, get close to the TV and you will be able to hear the cooling fan on for a minute or two, if not, the bulb cooling fan is defective, and the life of the bulb will be short.

I don't have the equipment to test for that but if there is any electricity used when the bulb is off it would be mininmal. The bulb uses very little electricity when it is on.

If your color is off or its making a noise if so its broken but spinning its semi easy to install you will need to be careful because its a glass wheel which is fragile I replaced mine when I replaced my chip now my tv is like new. It will brighten your colors as the wheel dims over time .
