WARNING! Please make sure that your TV is unplugged, and that you are properly grounded. There are various ways to ground yourself, but the most common way is to use a grounding wrist strap. Take photos and notes often to help remember the location orientation of the parts and wires. And feel free to pause and backtrack through this tutorial as much as needed.

What is a DLP Chip?
DLP chips contain millions of microscopic mirrors. Each mirror can turn towards the lens to reflect light at an exact location on the TV screen, or turn away to help create darker tones. This technology combined with a color wheel allows for rich tones and dark blacks to appear on a DLP screen. It is common for a mirror or mirrors within the chip to get stuck in either the on or off position. When this occurs, fixed white and/or black dots will appear on your screen. These dots will not move across your screen or blink at any time. Unfortunately you cannot release the mirrors once they are stuck. In order to resolve the issue you will need to replace your DLP chip. Most of the time these stuck mirrors can be viewed by the naked eye. Lets take a look at a few DLP chips of varying quality.
Here we have an undamaged DLP chip. It has a perfect reflection. And does not display any dots on the screen. This is what a damaged DLP chip typically looks like.
Upon close inspection you can see little specks of reflection. These are are mirrors stuck in the ON position. In most cases, not that many of the mirrors will be stuck. Should your DLP screen be plagued with little white specks, your DLP chip will look something like this piece of sparkly art. It looks like pretty much all of the mirrors are stuck in various positions. Now that we've explained both symptom and cause, let's go find that DLP chip and replace it!
