This time I left the TV in a room I was sanding drywall and it got pretty dusty. I tried to clean everything but no improvement. I figured the cheapest it would cost me was $100, maybe more to fix. With new LCD and Plasmas at around $700 for the same size I figured it wasn't worth the hassle and to let someone else have a go at it.
good call, a new wheel cost me about 120 bucks, and I also replaced the bulb for another 75 bucks, so my free TV turned out to be a 195 dollar TV. Still a good deal for a 44 inch HD, but not worth it if you are looking to upgrade.
