Up until the unit suddenly shuts down or locks up, the colors are displaying properly.

I would think that if the color wheel was not working that I would be seeing wrong colors, stuck on red/green/blue, etc. Is shutdown/lockup a characteristic symptom of a failed colorwheel?

Assuming the colorwheel could cause this, is there any way to test besides substitution? The part is going to cost between $75 and $100, so just throwing one at it on a guess seems risky. I assume it is on some kind of servomotor, and produces a sync pulse to feed back into the electronics somehow?
