after I installed mine and turned on TV it worked normally so maybe you need to reinstall as may not be seated properly. If that's not it must have other problems

Pull out lamp and reinstall making sure it's snapped all the way in.. Prior to installing use a can of compressed air to clean out the area where the light is installed.

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.

did the tv do this before the lamp was replaced? Same results using the old lamp?

The button does, indeed, barely depresses at all t turn the lamp on so, maybe that isn't the problem. This lantern can operate with only 4 batteries or with the full complement of 8. Please check your battery installation and make sure that the batteries have been inserted correctly and are all good. Also be sure that the bottom of the unit is screwed on very straight. I remember that this was the most dificult part of the assembly and others have commented on it. If, after you have done these things and the light still does not come on,you may have a defective switch or some other connection which is not making proper contact. Stay with this light, it is great. The button does, indeed, barely depresses at all t turn the lamp on so, maybe that isn't the problem.

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

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 have two of these lamps on my bed headboard. They make no noises at all. If your lamp came with noises, you should return it for a free exchange or full refund. If it's past its warranty period, I hope you're familiar with electronic circuitry if you intend to try to repair it.

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws. Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

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.

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.

I believe my husband may have used the existing one from previous lamp. Try that!

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.

That is normal, it is always yellow when you have your computer on. All the other lights should be green. If one of the bottom lights goes out, your modem has stopped working completely and you need a new one.

No picture at all? Hold down power button for 10 seconds to allow tv to reset itself or, unplug it for a few miniutes and let me know how that goes. Have you replaced the lamp recently or opened the back panel at all? if so, make sure it's back correctly. My problem was the power strip cable, now, I connect the tv directly to the wall and have no problems.

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 also had something happen when I turned the lamp on. Something popped and the lamp no longer works. I was unable to find any repair parts. My estimation is that it is a piece of junk. It never worked at all.
