Samsung Tech told me to replace lamp. . .they transfered me to local auth. service who told me same and sold me lamp. . .to no avail, then Samsung told me it had to be balast. . .local auth. service guy told me same, sold me balast, replaced it. . .to no avail! So $300 later. . .same symptoms. . .same problem! Local Samsung guy, who also told me, and sold me lamp and balast, wants $75 now to diagnose?

Remove the rear cover and check the lamp cover switch. Earlier versions used a black plastic switch holder that may break due to improper assembly. The part number for the holder is BP61-01240A. Newer versions use a metal tab attached to the engine. In this case, improper assembly may cause the lamp cover switch to be extended past its range, either breaking the switch or causing it to have an open contact. Replace the switch with BP91-01231A.
Note that in these models, when reinstalling the rear cover, it is best to remove the lamp cover first, install the rear cover, then install the lamp cover. This will make sure that the lamp switch is properly engaged.
