I gave it to me daughter. Bulbs can be bought on line& follow direction s touching can leave fiber prints & create hot spots I'd recommend gloves

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

Only if your TV doesn't restart. If the lamp was bad (burned out) the picture would not come back, until you replace the bulb.Sometimes the remedy for the TV turning on and off is unplugging the TV and waiting 10 minutes or so to plug back in.

Color problems with TV's that I've seen are typically caused by a problem with the LCD screen or it's controller. Usually when the bulb is bad it just dimms or fails to light up at all.

@Dj M: It sounds like you either have dead or "hot" pixels. This means the pixel will by change colors or remain "black" or "white". While the TV may function normally, the damaged pixel will not function correctly ever. I would contact Amazon.com and get an exchange or refund on the unit as it arrived damaged (you have 30 days to get a full refund).

Try to adjust the bulb, if this doesn't work, it's probably a damaged bulb.

I suggest you call the manufacturer for advice so that you do not damage the TV. Please let us know what advice was given for the good of mankind in case any of us get in the same fix.

Mine was turning off and then automatically turns on in few mins. Most of these problems in Samsung TVs are due to its capacitors in the power board. I dont know if your TVs issue is the same but looks like due to capacitors. I would just try this kit and it is not that hard to replace them. The kit generally has more that what is required. I just replaced all in my mother board that matched what is in the kit and it worked for me.

I don't know. My tv has a fuzzy picture on some channels, but I'm not sure that has to do with the lamp. My tv is still working.

Check the bulbs. Possibly you have an electrical issue that needs to be looked at

Yes. No sound no picture it is probably time to replace the bulb and housing. Check owners manual and make sure you get the right bulb and housing. If that was problem you will have a new TV.

no idea ut I don't think that the lamp is the problem uless you don't have any light in your screen. unfoertunatly this model has been discontinued by toshiba and you can not get any support from them. tha's sucks I will never and ever will buy any toshiba product again, my tv brock 2 years ago and was buit in 2006, only last 6 years with only very casual use. that tv cost me 2000.00 dollars in leon's furniture.when my color wheel broke I was looking for the part and the dealer toldme 2 years ago that my tv was a dinosaur ( with only 6 years? give me a breacksomething is very wrong with this people) I didn't spect that my tv lasted for ever but al list 10 desent years. conclussion. never buy toshiba again.

Mary - we haven't had that issue at all with our unit. I would test it in a different wall socket and see if the issue repeats itself. If so, I would replace the bulb and, if your lamp strobes again, I think you have sufficient evidence to point to a flaw in the device. Best of luck. Hope you get it going well enough - my wife is delighted with ours. Joe

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.

sounds like you may have to send it back, but you can at least plug in another power supply, or test the units power supply on another 5 volt system, just to see what is broken. I have mine plugged into one of the USB ports on my TV, that way it powers off with the TV so I don't see a power light, it must be on the power supply it self. maybe moving it to another outlet might help to isolate the problem, just in case it was the outlet, saving you the trouble of sending it back. Good Luck!

I would try a known good light bulb. If that doesn't work return it the sockets broken if that does work it's probably a bad bulb.

Hi, check eBay or Amazon.com! If not contact the Seller and let them know that the bulb arrived broken and to send a replacement. Insist on it because the last thing they want is a negative review. Good luck!
