my tv picture turns bad and eventually turn off after 10 min of watching, is that a symptom of a bad lamp ?

It may be the lamp, but it sounds more like something else that is causing the TV to overheat. I had to replace a board in my DLP a few years ago when it did that - would have been expensive without insurance. If the light is blinking after the unit turns off, the sequence of blinks is sometimes an indicator of the problem, so check your manual. Good luck - may be cheaper to buy a new TV!

Yes but ussually the lamp will go after a few on / off clips and the screen will be black. Now if it makes noise like a turning wheel it could be the color wheel going bad..i will try the lamp.first since sooner or.later you gonna needed they dont last long.

Only if your TV doesn't restart. If the lamp was bad (burned out) the picture would not come back, until you replace the bulb.Sometimes the remedy for the TV turning on and off is unplugging the TV and waiting 10 minutes or so to plug back in.

i would put in a new lamp some time my tv would come on and go off but mine would make pop then go off.

i never had that problem with my bulb the problem we had was the bulbs only last a couple of months. it sounds like you might have other problems

If you lamp is over two years old, that sounds like it time to change it.or the only other proble that youse have is your cooling fan next to the lamp, if the lamp get to hot then it will turnd it self off till it cools down

I have the same TV. If the green and red lights blink and then the TV try's to reset itself, the bulb needs to be replaced. I have replace over 5 bulbs in the last 7 years. Make sure to purchase a bulb with high quality or else it will have a poor lighting effect to the picture..... good luck. I will never purchase a TV that requires bulb replacement.....

Dave, ours did the same thing. We figured it was the lamp going out so we purchased a new one and our problems were solved, its such and easy and inexpensive fix to just buy a new lamp. Hope this helps.

After watching some You Tube videos, I found that there are 3 likely causes for the TV not displaying a picture, then it TV shuts down. 1) Lamp not working; 2) fans not working; 3) color wheel not working. Since I had just replaced the lamp, I knew it had to be the fans or the color wheel, and there was that whine that was constant while the TV was on. So I replaced the color wheel and lamp fan. It works like new, and no more whining sound.

this happened with mine too, i think it's ok. the lamp does get pretty hot, especially if you keep the tv on for a long time,and i think when the lamp is new, it hasn't been heated up that much. but the smell goes away after a few days.

This lamp has been working great on my Panasonic so far. I don't think it is the lamp causing this problem and it could be something else.

oh wow, wish I could help but purchased this quite a long time ago.........over a year I think. I have no idea and gave the TV to my step son when I got a new one this year so not sure what lamps worked now. Sorry and best of luck.

I checked the front of my TV in response to your question and it isn't warm and my bulb works great too. Is the tv warm when it is turned on or all the time?

I would return the lamp you got. I did not have this problem. Make sure u ordered the correct replacement.

Did you go into your TV menu and reset the Lamp/ You have to let the TV know that you installed a new lamp. That should fix the problem as the TV should have a "time" when the lamp should be replaced and I don't think they are very accurate.

Most of the time if lamp is getting bad you notice slowly the picture getting dimmer and at this time adjusting the brightness has minimal effect. If you notice this pattern then yes change the bulb. Normally the TV do not go black abruptly.

Remove m power, plug tv directly into wall and see if tv turns off. If it doesn't turn off, your m power is over heating and possibly shorting out. It's very possible that your tv is over heating as well. Remember these conditioners only clean and stabilize power. Hope this was helpful

I sent mine back for a full refund. I was with in a month of sending it back. Contact Amazon and see what they can do for you. Then look for a different lamp manufacturer and test the lamp right away. Or if you can afford a new tv I would do that since they are phasing out these types of tv's. There is no vested interest in making a good quality replacement lamp. That's why they are so cheap these days. Hope this helps.

Could be TV is in "ECO" Mode. Also, Energy Savings might be on. This setting adjusts brightness levels automatically. Settings are independent for each mode...Standard, Dynamic, Natural, Movie. Try turning off ECO and turning off Energy Savings. Go to Menu, then System, then Eco Solution, turn off Energy Savings and Eco Sensor.Try these settings:In Menu....Picture...Backlight 20, Contrast 100, Brightness 45, Sharp 45.Hope this helps. If not, I would call for service.Robert

I have to agree that this sounds like your lamp is gone. I'm expecting this to happen to my TV soon as well. I'm now into my third year and the lamp does have to be replaced periodically. Since you have sound but not picture, it doesn't sound like a source problem.

Lamp failed to fire. Lamp not seated completly (no connection) or bad lamp. It is possible to get a bad lamp. This is assuming your typical lamp failure was the cause for replacement (picture getting dimmer and dimmer till eventually failure) if your power supply or ballast is damaged buy a new TV unless you are comfortable soldering on circuit boards. Good luck.

I had the same problem. It turns out there is a micro switch which tells the TV if the lamp housing is seated properly. Over time the micorswitch develops "slack" . Once you figure out where the micro switch is you can fix it by simply putting small peices of electrical tape on the lamp housing in the correct location. If you do a Google Search of the TV model and blinking 6 times; you'll find lots of articles to help you locate that switch. Apparently it's a common problem.
