My TV developed a dark spot in the middle of the screen. The sound works fine, however - I can't solve this dark spot in the screen. Could this be the color wheel?

0 There is a small plastic lense right before the TI DLP chip. This plastic lense will develop a burn spot with doesn't allow light to pass through. This is sometimes cause by bright image being on the screen for a long period of time. The spot can grow until only the outside edges of the picture are visible. I have the same problem and trying to find the small plastic lense.

0 Thanks for the information. I have removed the burnt lens and it is indeed burnt. It's melted. I think it was due to the TV being left on with a game in the same position. I have looked for manuals and even called "Infocus" who produced this TV. They told me the light engine was produced by RCA. I haven't been able to find a manual, but the rep at RCA said if I could get a part number that they might be able to help me. Let me know if you find any suppliers and I'll do the same. Thanks.
