Have just replaced my lamp xl 5200 and it's not working. all what it does is just blinking a red light. what should i do?

The red light's an indicator that the lamp is not working. I'd try another lamp.

Maybe that may not be the right bulb for your television,or the bulb maybe defected,or there may be another problem,not the bulb,check the owner manual or call Sony.

It can be a little tricky to get to fit right - did u hear a click - if not take out an re-insert

Sorry for responding late, but I did not have the lamp at immediate reach. Now, I verified it, and you are right. Mine is not working, either. I refer to center LED labeled #58, with the tag 730, which does not turn at all when all the rest do. Somebody could say that 730 (nm, I suppose) is beyond the range of human visión, but I guess that at least a dim red light glow should be emitted. Regards. Alvaro.

When our lamp went, nothing worked (no picture,no sound) and a little green indicator light for "lamp" was on. I bought this lamp and it worked for a brief time but it then the same thing happened. It was within the 30 days so I was able to return it to Amazon. Then I went to Mitsubishi site and bought one of theirs and it works great now, (so far, but it hasn't been that long). It cost $280 (with shipping).

My first one had the same problem as yours. Red light on all the time, and froze! I returned it and bought another one hoping it was a defective piece.... My second one start to show signs of defective also! and this one I can't return b/c past return period. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT is my recommendation.

I'm guessing you didn't buy an OEM lamp. The cheap lamps don't work and will do that. Try an OEM bulb. I realize this is an old question but thought the answer would help others having the same issue. Only buy Osram or Philips bulbs.

I just tried your steps and confirm it works like you want. I turned on the lamp, unplugged the power cord, then replugged the power cord back in, the lamp was still on. I believe this remains to work because the battery still had power. Make sense?

Use this address and look under "Chang The Lamp's Capacitance". It looks like you may have a defective switch. http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4885267_touch-lamps-work.html

yes, after installation, the green light blinks and blinks, the the yellow light come, saying lamp. I have used the reset button on TV, this does the same thing. What am I doing wrong? help! help!

Make sure the socket has power and that the cord is properly plugged in, try a another one if you have one, the size is pretty generic. But yes, either the unit is dead or it isn't getting power. In the off chance the bulbs have gone out you can see if it's charged by using the power meter.

That happened to me about a month ago. Amazon was great and advice me to return the defective product. I bought a different brand of lamp now and it's been working great. Good luck.

If your picture is dim then a new lamp should make it like new again. It is doubtful anything other than a degraded lamp would cause a dim picture. I wouldn't expect to get a refund if the lamp works. I bought one but really couldn't tell a difference. I don't know if the TV just didn't need a new lamp or that the off brand lamp isn't as bright as an OEM lamp. Personally, I'd stick with OEM Sony parts. They cost more though.

I had the same issue with the lamp. I tried 3 different ones including the one Sony sells. All were bad. Had to change the TV.

I just follow manual. Google toshiba tv 52hm84 manual and second hit is PDF. Look in table of contents on replacing lamp/bulb. Maybe you were sent wrong item?

Make sure you have pressed the lamp firmly into place for it to make a good connection. I had to do this a few times to make it connect. I re-inserted the old lamp, removed it and then placed the new one in and pushed it more firmly to make sure it was seated properly. If the lamp doesn't fix it, you probably have more issues and need a technician or a neftw tv. You may need to reset it though after installing the new lamp. If you don't have the manual, you may need to google it and print it.

Try with the switch on the light assembly in all positions, if still not working recheck the wiring connections. After that I would probably follow procedures for returning a defective unit.

Hi! Make sure the connections from the bulb to the rest of the flashlight are secure, then try turning on the light. If that doesn't work, then use another new bulb, in case the old one has blown. Also, make sure the batteries are inserted properly, with the positive charges pointing upward...Hope this helps, if this doesn't work, then return the flashlight & get a new one! Thanks!

It sounds like either a bad connection, or there's a problem with the rheostat. I would unplug the unit, remove the bulb and try to reseat it. If that doesn't work, try a different bulb. If that doesn't work, try leaving the light on at half strength and see what happens.
