A little bit of everything can be found here, cool links to interesting websites, my political rants, a soapbox, and a little madness. A great place to kick your shoes off and realize that there is someone with a life that is more boring than yours.

RCA HD50LPW52 Color Wheel replacment
Tools Needed
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Torx based Screwdriver (its the one that looks like a star)
First lay the TV on its face. Be sure and make sure there is nothing you will be laying the face on, because it will scratch the face. Remove all of the screws on the base only, there is about 20 or so of them so place them where you won't lose them. Remove the back plate.
Now remove all of the screws that attach the top to the speakers. Carefully slide the base away.
There is a cover that the lens is poking through, carefully remove that. You will see an aluminum looking piece that has two screws on it. a small wire coming from it and a copper colored tape. Carefully remove the wire and the tape wire. Now unscrew the color wheel housing.
Remove it, and replace it with the new color wheel, and tighten it up. Make sure you don't tighten it all the way, just so it is snug and reconnect the small plug wire and tape wire. Now do everything in reverse and you should be good to go. I will try and get pictures the next time I have to do this.
