I had the same problem. I found out the lamp blew up and it was time to replace it. I ordered the lamp from Samsung Parts (little bit expensive but I did not have time to compare prices online), replaced using the instructions on this website. Now the picture is bright again.

This is probably due to the one of mirrors on the chip starting to peel away. Other issues can be that it is is on a uneven surface, or you somehow managed to tweak frame of the screen. My number one bet though is that one of the mirrors is peeling off your chip causing this issue. If you do a internet search about it you will find a lot of information on how to address it. Sorry I can not be more help but I have not had the unfortunate opportunity to actually run into this problem.

Question

Popping Noise in HLT5676SX

I get a singular popping noise after a short time of viewing. Only one, sometimes another after another short period. There is no change in the picture, just this pop or crack noise. Sounds as if the plastic case has heated up ?? What is this noise attributed to and should I be concerned.

I'm fairly sure that it's just the TV heating up the plastic. The housing is the only thing large enough to make that noise. As it's a loud pop probably means that the front frame is rubbing against the back frame as they expand/contract.

Question

White dots on the T.V. screen

The t.v. has recently started putting white dots all over the screen. It doesn't matter what you are doing (watching t.v., playing a dvd, playing video games, using the menu through the t.v.) the dots are there. We have had the t.v. looked at and have been told that it needs to have the chipped replaced. The t.v. is only 4 years old and we think that it should be taken care of by Samsung since that product isn't that old and the t.v. repair person said that it was very common with this particular model of t.v. (HL-T5676S)

I just answered someone with this problem as it's happening to me too. Get on the phone with Samsung or chat with their live support on this site. A chip needs to be replaced and Samsung will cover the chip but NOT the cost of the repairman to do it. The problem won't go away on it's own so you might as well get it fixed. I consented to it because I know nothing about this sort of thing. It's not a simple thing like replacing the lamp!

The issue is not covered under warranty. There were other recalls but not about this. There's a chip that needs to be replaced and Samsung is covering the chip but not the costs for the serviceman to come here to do it. Unless you know something about replacing chips, I recommend you get on the phone with Samsung or talk to them via live chat which I just did.

You can control the action of the blue light by your remote control. Under 'Setup' scroll down until you come to 'light effect' and then select whatever one of the presented options you wish to use. The menu will tell you what each choice does and you can choose the best option that causes the blue light to act the way you want it to do.

For example, I have selected 'in standby' which means that whenever the TV is off the blue light is on. When the TV is on, the blue light is off.

Likely your bulb is getting old and needs to be replaced. On average a bulb will last for 3000 to 5000 hours before they need to be replaced. If your TV is not as bright as before, its a good bet you need a new bulb.
