I believe it is the engine is the what runs the TV. it is right in the middle at the back of the TV. I'm no TV repair guy. Just handy enough to do the repair.

13 Ma 2009 I bought a 67 inch Samsung DLP with LED engine and the red burned out on 16 Nov 2009. The tech came out today (19 Nov 2009) and replaced the burned out LED. The LEDs are modular and the tech told me that they were about $180 with a service charge of $180 for labor.He pulled the back off the unit, undid the screws and pulled the entire assembly out on the floor and then took off the cooling fans and heat sink for the red LED and then re-assembled. The entire process took about 20 minutes or so.

I have the same model (LED) and am coming up on having it 18 months. Hope I dont have the same problem. My son got the DLP (not LED) lamp model, 61" I believe, and has had no problems with his yet in the same time frame. I have noticed a picture "jitter" and rainbowing effect on some movies.

Replacing it is very easy, remove the back, pull the engine out, you will need to unplug the fan wires to pull out the engine. tag these so you remember where they go. pull the fan box off, pull the two connectors off the LED, pull the Heatpipe connected to it, remove the LED, coat the new LED lightly with heat sink compound (you can get this at radio shack for about $3, install it and reverse the disassembly procedure and you are done. I called Samsung for the part. Here is what I paid for a Blue LED.Part Number Description Quantity Unit Price Total BP07-00031A LED DISPLAY / BLUE 1 $132.47 $132.47 You might need a star bit for the screws, i don't remember.good luck.

Justin these are LEDs and if the strip burn out which they shouldn't one should be able to replace the strip as long as you purchase it from the same manufacture.

They would have to have some type of ballast system to power the light. I would just replace the entire unit. There cheap. Mine seem to last about 3 years but i only run it on the weekends. I want to update to an LED in the future. Good Luck.

I wouldnt know for certain that it will fit your led, but I have owned both led and lcd tvs and they both have VESA mounts, as long as the VESA mount in your LED is compatible it will be ok.

Thanks. I read on-line that there is a capacitor problem with these sets and the company is aware of it. While they are tough to contact, there is money to help pay for the replacement of this $3 part. I will pursue and plan to buy another TV, this time a Sharp since I am disappointed with the customer service I received from Samsung.

The manual at the TV's site may help - download at bottom of pagehttp://www.axessusa.com/led-television-with-dvd-combo/tvd1801-15-15.6-high-definition-led-tv-with-dvd-player.html

Probably. You can find a replacement for anlmost every LED made. But the odds of it burning out are very slim. LEDs last in the 40,000 hour and up range and would need to be left on 24/7 for a couple years to have one go bad.

Since the DBPOWER LED 1080P projector uses an LED array and NOT a bulb it is NOT a user replaceable part as far as I know. Try contacting the vendor directly for a definitive answer.

That is the exact same TV I have and once I changed the DLP it worked like new, full brightness. Make sure you look at instructions when you remove the old one and place the new one, there is a small lever that locks the chip into place. there are video one youtube that show you how to replace.

Nope. The LED's require a special driver that is built into the base. You might be able to find LED style replacements for the halogens though.

I just hooked up my TV. It is LED. I'm a big fan of LG TVs because of their picture quality (I own 3). I stopped using Samsung because their products never seemed to last very long.

They're the same thing. Led is just the type of backlighting the TV has. It's still an LCD.

Hi Joane,Sorry I'm not very technically savy. got mine to work with my Panasonic TV so not sure if this cable works with Samsung LED. Hopefully someone else has same TV can help Robin

I have a 56" Samsung LED. It failed after 2 years and I was told by 2 repairmen that the part I needed was no longer available from Samsung. One repairman told me that the cost of the repair would be prohibitive even if the part was available.Ed Brister

I did purchase one and it does work. Its been working fine. On the other hand this series of TV's have real issues with the lamps. If you want to avoid future problems and costly replacements. Ditch the TV and get a LED TV, in the long run it will be cheaper. Just my 2 cents.

As per usual english_august is reporting from outer space and is obviously a "space cadet". He or she doesn't have a clue about what he or she is talking about! Based on my experience with LEDs as an electronics experimenter, I believe that they will never dim or burn out. LEDs need a jolt of high voltage to burn them out. Their circuit can be designed to protect them from this. I hope this dude purchases his or her precious Sony and spends $600.00 to $1200.00 for replacement bulbs over the life of the set. In the meantime the rest of us will be enjoying our "Sammys" without fuss or muss and keeping our wallets intact.

You can get DLP type but they do not work well in day light, they are however supposed to be the best for that type of TV. I have the other type, I do believe IR, here is a link to the ones I bought, they work great, good luck. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088R95X0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
