Do you hear a clicking? If so it could be the lamp ballast trying to start the bulb, the bulb may be defective.Also if the fan ventilation grate is not on properly , or being blocked therefore unit overheat, the tv will not go on.Tell me what you're symtoms are.

So I used this ballast and then replaced all cooling fans...tv would still shutdown due to heat on occasion...really frustrating...never had a problem turning it on...moved the TV to another room...and the problems have ceased...weird...

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.

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!

I went thru the same ordeal. Finally I got rid of the fan/light. I spent a week and many dollars trying to get my lights to work. Bulbs, ballasts took it all apart and nothing. Wish I had the answer.

If you have the TV connected to a cable box( I have Comcast) you may be having a problem that has happened to me on occasion. Try selecting a different channel and the picture may come back. If the red light in the lower right corner does not blink when you turn the TV on then you might have a power issue. Beyond those simple steps I don't know what else you can do. Find your owners manual and see if there is a troubleshooting guide.

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.....

yes, after installation, the green light blinks and blinks, the the yellow light come, saying lamp. I have used the reset button on TV, this does the same thing. What am I doing wrong? help! help!

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.

Maybe try re-installing? Also note, this is a projection TV....not best visibility in direct sunlight. Mine is often dark in my bright living room during daytime hours.

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've noticed mine does not start up very well. Twist the bulb as if removing and then reinstall. It won't start immediately. Also, the indicator is not an LED like it looks, just a lens to the inside. Turn of the lights or shield ambient light, it might be on, you just can see it.

I bought a bulb and it went out a short time after as well.but I replaced the whole TV instead of trying to fight the tv. I didn't try to warranty the bulb. Sorry this doesn't help

If I had to hazard an opinion here I would say you have a problem with the power supply or the bulb. Make very sure all connections are firm. There is little else the consumer can do.

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.

Maybe that may not be the right bulb for your television,or the bulb maybe defected,or there may be another problem,not the bulb,check the owner manual or call Sony.

Well, the company you bought it from may have sent you bad lamps. You also may have it installed wrong and that is why it wont work. The lamp must be installed properly and the screws from the housing fully tightened into the back of the TV before it will work. A lamp normally lasts me at 2 years but the last company I bought from it only lasted 4 months and I sent the bad lamp back and even though they said there was a year warranty on the original lamp I bought they told me that year year warranty is only good for one replacement lamp in that period. I will never order from them again.

May ask for a refund due to that it was only a month ago. When I replace our TV Lamp we got a good lamp for the TV and still working today. I think they may have send a bad lamp they should send you a lamp for free and give your money back due to information you give me for good customer service. Sorry to hear that.
