Hi guys
I'm trying to fix this Sagem Axium HD-D50H G4-T/2 DLP TV
The power light flashes continually and after turning on for a few seconds it makes a loud mechanical buzzing noise - like a fan spinning with some wires catching in it or something like that. When it failed it suddenly started the noise and the picture went blurred but after turning off it wouldn't come back on again
I had a spare lamp here so fitted that but it still won't fire up
I'm pretty sure it simply is clogged up with crap inside as it is about 13 years old and has never been cleaned. With the side panels off I can see there is a lot of dust and pet hair inside the base enclosure but it is difficult to get in there to clean anything.
Problem is I just can't figure out how to separate the top part of the set from the base so I can get to the fans and in particular the colour wheel!!
Normally I can just google for a teardown tutorial on anything I ever come across but I'm not finding anything for this damn thing.
Having removed a zillion screws I have the metal panel off the back but cant get the PCBs out so I don't think I can get access that way
I unfastened all the screws I can see that hold the front bezel to the back of the set but there is something holding the middle bottom section of the front bezel (it curves down into the base section) but can't see what holds the bezel onto the base.
I did take a metal strip off the top of the screen and peered down inside but I can see that even removing the screen isn't going to help me a lot.
The top section is almost free from the base now and only fixed along the front edge but I think there are possibly some hidden screws on the middle front area of the base section that hold it to the top. Getting the front bezel off might give access to those hidden screws (if indeed they do exist) but as I said I can't figure out how to get the bezel off.
Has anyone here ever dismantled one of these DLP TVs and can advise me where i am going wrong?
best regards
Richard
