TV crapped out

[Redtruck-VA]

Just so you all will really understand what a old stick I am, my Samsung DLP TV died. This is actually a tv my wife bought about a million years ago and all I have ever done with it is to turn it on and watch it. last year the lamp went out and the wife fixed it while I was gone and I thought that was pretty good of the old girl. Anyway last night it made a loud humming noise and the picture color changed. Little like a disk drive spinning up but loud. Asked the wife what she thought and she said, well trouble shoot it! The indicator in front says lamp. So I got the back pulled off and checked the lamp and found a bunch of cool stuff. Theres a little fan that blows on the lamp and other stuff and it does this through a bit of baffling and has a pressure switch to cut everything off if it should stop. It's a mix of caveman and technology thrown together. Anyway that's not the problem, from what I have read there is a color wheel buried deep inside in a clever secret place that spins at a high rpm. I have no idea how a wheel spinning can cast color onto a screen. But my money is that it has lost a bearing and that is what is making that loud humming noise that sounds like large disc drive coming up to speed. So here is where I'm reaching out to see if any of you know anything about a DLP TV? But I'm willing to say I bet I'm the only oine here today that can say my TV threw a bearing last night.
