AN IMPORTANT NOTE: Be cautious of replacement “lamps” or “bulbs” for the TY-LA1000 sold without the enclosure housing. Typically, buying the lamp-only is okay, as long as the customer is purchasing an original lamp. Always stay away from off-brand bulbs manufactured by OSRAM, LTI, APO, or another third-party provider for your Panasonic TY-LA1000. When purchasing just the lamp itself (even an original), it can be a hassle unless you’re fairly good with a technician’s soldering iron.
Your original enclosure has the lamp cable connectors soldered from it’s terminals to the connector plug. When purchasing just the lamp alone, you will have to cut this connector and soldering it on your new lamp. Sounds confusing or difficult? It is… and until we make a kit for it, I don’t suggest anyone purchase the bare bulb only!
UPDATE 08/24/09 – We have the TY-LA1000 wire harness kit available fitted with the industries best lamp. No splicing cables, no electrical shock to worry about!
Now you can rest at ease with the purchase of the lamp kit or the complete enclosure. We still recommend the complete unit since you won’t have to worry about finding an extra long screw driver or messing with the elaborate cage for this TV.

Panasonic TY-LA1000 TV Lamp Reset Procedure/instructions:
Per numerous members, it looks like this method works quite well:
- Hold the Vol down button on the TV and the Split button on the REMOTE for five seconds, -or- Press the Volume button on the TV while pressing hte SPLIT button on the Remote Control for five seconds
- It will NOT work if you try to do it both from your remote!

I have a Panasonic PT-44LCX65. The bulb went out a few months ago. Could finally afford a new bulb and put in today. Followed all of the instructions in manual. When I turn on TV, green light flashes for about a minute, then changes to red light flashing. The lamp indicator starts flashing red every 5 seconds at the same time as on/off switch changes to red flashing. Nothing ever appears on the screen and TV switches off.
I have pulled out the lamp unit several times and reinserted always getting the same problem. I make sure the door is shut and locked each time, everything put back as I found it. I never had a problem with the TV in 3 1/2 years before bulb went out.
Any ideas?
Thanks…

Hi, I too have a pt44lcx65. My daughter has a habit of turning it on and off incessantly. Normally it just has to cool down long enough and will then start up normally.
Yesterday it wouldn’t turn on after that. I have the same code you do (Red Lamp light once every 5 seconds) I was about to order and change the lamp unit, but since I found your post I’d like to see if you’d found out anything? Judging by your experience changing the bulb will probably not solve my problem.
I checked the owner’s manual and it just says for this particular issue to contact a service center. Have you come to that yet?
Any ideas? Thanks a million.

Unfortunately it may not just be the lamp, but that’s the first place I’d start. If the lamp replacement works, great, if not, then it also might be a ballast issue. That’s a common thing that goes out on these TVs. Call DM customer service at (800) 281-8860 for some tech support before investing money into it. I’d recommend the entire lamp assembly with housing, it’s just so much easier!

When you click the power bottom on or off and then click it again right away it gets “hung up”. If you are watching the tv and click the power off but then change your mind and click power on again right away, the tv will get hung up in the power off. If you click it once more, let it power off all the way and then try to turn it back on, it should work. This happens to us quite a bit with a toddler that always manages to find the remote.

Hey Bubba – Just replaced the lamp in out Pana-PT-52LCX15. Weve had the set for almost 4 years and the Relace Lamp message has been coming on for almost a year before she finally went out. It was doing exactly what your tv is now doing. I think you got a bad lamp Do not buy the generic, send it back and get a Philips. I did not get the housing unit but wish I had. You need a 9″ inch philips with a magnetic head to get the screws out. To reset hold wait for meassgae to go away and then hold the tv volume button all the way high and then all the way down, THEN push the split button on the remote (bottom 2nd from left) A message will apeearthat the lamp has been reset to zero. Red light will go off too.

Did anyone ever get an answer on what is wrong. Mine is having the same problem. New bulb, green light flashes for a while, then blinks red along with the lamp indicator. Works sometimes though.

I hadbeen going crazy tring to figure out how to reset the lamp to 0 on my Panasonic, until I read on here how to do it and it worked like a dream. It has probably saved me from putting a fist through the screen… Thank you Fix your DLP .com

Just a note to those trying to replace their bulbs with non factory issued parts. I did this myself and after about a month I noticed that I started developing yellow streaks on in the screen. This happens when their is damage to the Light engine. I have been reading a lot of posts and have concluded that this happens due to the aftermarket lamps out there are not to the same standards as OEM Lamps sold by Panasonic. You may save a few bucks but you may damage your Light engine as these after market lamps are not rated and burn hotter causing damage to the light engine which is very sensitive and is very close to the bulb which heats up when on.
Good luck and buyer beware

I have a Panasonic DLP tv and the replace lamp had been on for awhile, ignored it. Now my picture is completly black and I hear a clicking sound when I turn it on or try and turn volume up. No sound just clicking. If I replace the bulb will this fix my problem.
