My D-90 Softech lamp goes off after awhile. Annoying. Does this have something to do with the timer? If so, please explain.

If you have set the timer, it will go off after the desired number of minutes. I do not have problems with the lamp going off when I did not set the timer.

Timer? What timer? Call Customer Service and ask them to exchange the unit for a new one.

You would have to activate the timer first for the timer to be on. (The little clock face on the lower left corner.) When the timer is activated the red power light would flash. Sounds like something is wrong with your unit though.

yes power outage wipes all settings and you annoyingly have to reset it. I have mine light on, timer off so the off time gets messed up. Just reset mine today when I noticed it was staying on all night

99% it's the lamp door. If it isn't shut properly, it turns off. Happened to me after a move once. Just open and choose the door on it.

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!

It seems to me that your OxyLED lamp has a problem. I would send it back to be fixed or replaced. I checked mine again and it always starts and stops if I touch it right over the LED in a fast manner. If It were as erratic as yours is I would be dissatisfied for sure. I ordered on of the other mfgr's lamps that you mentioned. I'll see how it compares. As you said it is $20 less expensive which is a good feature too.Vic NettleI am in Tampa Florida, where are you, Yoon?

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!

I use a timer on mine. One like I use on lamps when I go away for a week or so.

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.

Probably the battery. I have had issues with it after purchasing the lamp. You should call the company. They have shown they have an outstanding customer service. They replaced the entire head when I contacted them.

That sounds like a defect in the unit. Mine stays on about 5 seconds, then turns off. There isn't a button that I know of to be able to turn it off. I'd write to the seller and ask for a replacement. That isn't normal.

They did nothing for me when my dlp lamp went out 4 months after purchase. They told me it was a manufacturer issue. Manufacturer had no clue what was going on.

in theory it should fix the problem of the tv turning off & on. We replaced the bulb, it worked for a few hours or days (can't remember). then we googled for more help & saw something say that a lot of times you have to replace the ballast as well as the lamp. did that & it still doesn't work. We just decided to buy a new tv & be done with it instead of having someone look at it & pay that charge as well. I am sure this doesn't really help, but that's what our experience was.

My husband said that shortly after installing ours did that and we just turned off for ten minutes, then it worked okay. He did re-check the timer setting and that was okay. So might need to check and make sure its on a time to go off. If it set for a long time till it goes off then that might be the cause.

To be honest, I have never paid attention either, however the light bulb has a cooling fan to keep it cool while the TV is on and a minute or two after you turn it off. If the fan is defective, the area where the lamp is located will be warmer than usual. When you turn your TV off after about half an hour of use, get close to the TV and you will be able to hear the cooling fan on for a minute or two, if not, the bulb cooling fan is defective, and the life of the bulb will be short.

hopeless, mine is the same but does not go out until you switch it off, serious rubbish. have purchased Osram dusk to dawn screw in lamp(bulb) works fine

I had the same experience. It operated great for a couple of weeks. Then one day I noticed it was on in total day light. It eventually went out and operated fine that night. A couple of days later it just stopped operating completely. I just returned it for a refund. It's a great light, just what I wanted, and worked fine then just quit. Go figure????

I have not had any issue with that. I would say if some of the cells are out then you need to replace the bulb. If you notice it is not doing as before take a break from use and then resume.
