the manual says a steady yellow lamp means room temperature has exceeded proper levels cool the room. a flashing yellow means lamp is not secure.

We have the same problem with our TV. The screen is normally very dim, then gets very bight. We've never had the screen go black. We have also noticed the same phenomenon that J. Wu mentioned about the lamp.Have either of you solved this problem? Were you able to exchange it?

It could be a bad bulb. Sometimes they get knocked around in shipping and the circuit opens. Have you checked other bulbs in the same lamp? Also make sure the lamp is plugged in (I know it's silly but you'd be surprised at how often that is the problem).If the bulb is actually damaged, which you can usually tell by jiggling it and listening for a rattle or by inserting it into another socket and testing, just return it to Amazon through http://www.amazon.com/returns

I just went and unplugged mine and plugged it right back in and it worked fine. Nice little lamp.

Hi Chew, I haven't had mine in for too long, perhaps 8 months to a year, but it's still working. I suggest that when you do install a new lamp, you reduce the 'contrast' to save the lamp's life a bit.As for which one fits your TV, I don't know what model TV you have. You can find that info in the User's Manual. If you don't have a User's Manual, you can download one from the TV manufacturer's website.

I just received the lamp, I have plugged it for 15 min but it doesn't work, I could see those orange colored LEDs for the dimmer and I could change them dragging right-left, however, the LED lamp itself doesn't work

Check the filiment for broken pieces. Also, do not touch any of the glass on the bulb with your hands. It causes hot spots that decrease the life of the bulb. I think you have a bad bulb. The green is from the computer doing a current check. It sees an open and shuts down. Good luck

Hello, the original lamp that came with my unit is still working. The online manual has instructions for resetting after lamp replacement. View the information on the following link (page 40), http://www.manualslib.com/manual/237847/Epson-Moviemate-50.html?page=40#manual

You'll get the light when you plug it in. If you have no other light like the mode or a temperature number in the LED box, then press the on / off button. Even though the light is blinking doesn't mean the unit is on. When it's on, you'll get the mode light and a number in the LED box and the green light will still blink. If none of this works, box it up and send it back.

You know what. I've had that happen before. Seems normal. It's an amazing lamp. If you're still worried I would go straight to the source at www.philips.com and click on the contact link at the bottom and chat with them.

Hello that maybe the actual tube in the tv the lamp controls the actual picture if you have no lamp the tv will not come on so to answer your question the lamp doesnt control the green in the screen it may be thr tube itself

Oh I so wished mine would have warned me........... lol mine is and older model and when it went out, it just went out and you did without tv for the time it took to get bulb shipped. But, yes if it is telling you that your backlight is going out this would be the fix.......... double check the number of lamp, it should be on the back of your television somewhere around the lamp, that or just take the lamp out it should be on that also.

I don't have this problem, but it sounds like you have an electrical short in the lamp. I would return it. Good luck.

Does your lamp have the adjustable brightness feature? I just use the bulb that came with the lamp, but with the adjustment, it gets pretty bright...I'd call the manufacturer before using any bulb other than what they recommend...

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.

I had the same issue (turn off after a few minutes). I called a Samsung tech rep and they told me to replace the bulb. I did that and had the same issue. I called Samsung again and they recommended I replaced the ballast, so I bought this and replaced it and still had the same issue. When I called Samsung again, they said I now have to take it to someone for service because the control board had to be replaced. I decided it wasn't worth any more money, so after over $100 in parts and a few hours of my time, my TV ended up in a recycling center. If you have a Samsung DLP, you can look through some online forums and see that this is a common problem with these units. I had the same issue (turn off after a few minutes).
