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!

  1. 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!

  2. 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.
