I installed replacement lamp. Tv comes on for a few minutes and shuts off and lamp indicator goes to red. Is lamp faulty?

Could be the lamp for sure. Is not likely if you replaced the lamp with the cage as one. Can be caused by the Color wheel being bad as we'll. never touch the lamp and always replace with the cage if you touched the bulb with bare fingers wipe it dry with alcohol to clean the finger oil off it. Hope helps you!

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.

When mine was going out you could hear the color wheel humming and the TV would randomly shut off. Also when you powered it back on the screen would show a quick cycle of colors until it warmed back up. Hope this helps!

Sounds like power supply. Had it happen on mine. Check how many times the red lite turns on and off and then check unternet

I don't have any problems with mine. The TV may draw too few electricity to keep the controlled outlets active. Try with a different appliance such as a table lamp on the main. If that fails then you may have a defective unit.

If it's a burnt out bulb...I'm thinking the bulb just needs to be replaced. If something goes wrong with the lamp fixture/ wiring then assume repair or replacement of unit would be required.

I installed mine, cleaned dust out of compartment and repluged tv and worked perfect. I would unplug tv and remove light housing and reinstall I believe thats what I did, now that I think about it. Remember keep lamp clean. Good luck, I still have set works fine.

That sounds like the type of response most TV's have when you have a burnt out bulb, or one that is slow to warm up. I would double check to make sure your bulb is fully plugged into the contacts in the back of the TV and give it another try. It might take a little while for the bulb to warm up initially. If that doesn't work, and your previous bulb did, it might be possible you got a bad bulb, or it was knocked around in shipping.

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.

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.

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.

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 replaced this same lamp and after a short while my tv started going out by itself but it had nothing to do with the lamp. It has performed perfectly for nearly a year.

do not know if it was the bulb problem or the TV's but it didn't last long. even after we bought the 2nd bulb we had the same problem.

I don't think so, It seems like your power ballast may be getting a little old, Check for the dome shape on top of the little barrell on the circuit ballast if it is domed upwards thats a sign of a ballast about to go bad. If not I would wait till the Tv goes out, It could stay like this for a long time. Hope this helps

I would remove the internal rechargeable battery and unplug the power, after first shutting off the power switch on the tv. Put the battery back in and turn it on, see what happens.

Usually if you touch the center part of the dial the lamp turns on and off. If that doesn't work, your unit is defective.
