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. For the best price on the Pansonic TY-LA1000 (complete housing unit), click here.
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 replaced our lamp on a panasonic PT44LCX65 it says to reset the hour meter but we dont have a PIP button on our remote control and the play button which we tried doesnt do anything to reset the hour meter and the light is still red. Do you have any other way we can try to reset the hour meter?
thank you for anything that you can suggest

I have a PT44LCX65. The button you are looking for is on the bottom row of the remote by the TV/VCR (2nd L to R). It has the word SPLIT and DVD at the topof it.
HTH!

Replaced TYLA1000 in housing in my Pana PTLC43. All seemed ok but then a I started getting yellow shades coming up from the bottom. I called the place that sold me the lamp and they say its my “color wheel” having an issue. Anyone else experience this issue?

PT-52LXC65 Replaced the bulb and everything worked fine. Now when I try to turn it on the power light flashes green then it flashes red. Sometimes it works after this sometimes it doesn’t. Usually I have to unplug it and wait and then plug it back in and it turns on again. Now no such luck. Any suggestions?

I have a Panasonic PT-52LCX65 that takes the TYLA1000 bulb. Had more than 2 years of service before replacing the bulb. The new Phillips bulb lasted 30 days then quit working. The set would not power up and give a picture, and the “replace lamp” indicator would flash red once every 4 to 6 seconds. I didn’t reset the timer when I replaced the bulb but had success when I finally figured out how to do it with the help of this forum.
1. The TV was unplugged for half an hour, thinking this would clear its “memory,” (don’t know if this made any difference or not.
2. Plugged it back in and found the original remote (not the cable remote because the cable remote doesn’t have the “split” button on it), that came with the TV. Turned the TV on at the console and pressed the “TV” button on the remote and held it down for 5 seconds until the button flashed.
3. Pressed and held the “Volume down” button on the console while holding down the “split” button on the bottom of the remote for about 5 seconds.
4. The picture came on. Then reset the remote controller to “DBS/Cable.” Nice picture with no further problems.
5. I never saw the screen that says “Lamp hours reset”, like its says in the pdf instructions on this site.
Good luck to you!

I have a PT-50LCX64 Panasonic bought as a store display model. For months the screen displays “The lamp needs to be replaced. . .” message every time TV is turned on, but the picture is fine. The company says I can’t replace it until its completely gone. How do I disable the screen message and if so, does this affect the warranty?
Byron says:
May 1, 2009 at 10:49 am
THIS IS WHAT YOU DO TURN THE VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP ON TV (not the remote) THEN BRING IT DOWN TO ZERO STILL HOLDING ON TO VOLUME THEN PRESS THE SPLIT BUTTON . IT WORKS JUST TRIED IT. ps exit the lamp message first.
Carson says:

I bought the new lamp and installed it on my PT-52LCx65 but my only problem is that I dont have the original remote that came with the T.V. Is there any way to still replace the meter on my T.V. without the original remote? Please help!!!
Mike says:
May 9, 2009 at 5:08 pm
If your model of TV is PT-52lcx16, do the following:
Hold the (VOL-) button on the TV and then hold the 0(zero) button down on the remote for 5 secs. That will reset your lamp. This is straight from the TYLA-1001 bulb users manual. Remember, this is only for the TYLA-1001 bulb, the TYLA-1000 bulb has different instructions. I just did this and it works perfectly.

The spot is about 2 inches in diameter. near the middle of the screen closer to the right side. I only notice it when the show I’m watching has white or light colours in that area. The picture shows someone in a dark suit or dark background I don’t see it. I hope it helps. I will try to get a photo of it. Thank u so much for ur reply

Sharon,
It may be your DMD board. Your dmd board houses your dmd chip which houses millions of micro mirrors on it. It tilts back and forth very rapidly and the mirrors reflect light onto your screen. So it’s it’s broken or not working properly it can cause your color issues.
Sharon says:
June 8, 2009 at 12:30 pm
So I guess I need someone in to repair it?

FixYourDLP.com says:

Sharon,
Oh wow and is this the first time your having problems with it? It will be quite expensive to have it repaired just about as much as buying a new TV.

I have a panasonic pt-43lc14 and the lamp replacement message has came on. I have a replacement for the bulb (housing included) should I wait until the bulb goes out to change it, will this harm the set if I do. Picture still looks good, no fading or anything.
FixYourDLP.com says:
June 9, 2009 at 10:47 am
Paul,
You won’t harm your set by waiting until the other bulb goes out. It’s ok to wait until it does.

I have a Panasonic Model#PT-50LC14 and i can not get the blue screen off the TV. I do not have the original remote but i do have a logictech harmony. It has all the features of the original but i just cant get it to work. Should i get original or do you guys have any other ideas?
FixYourDLP.com says:

It’s always best to have the original, but if you can figure how to work your logictech harmony then go for it!

I know how to work it but I dont know if the buttons will work the same. I have the same button options but I just do not want to go out and spend the 50 bucks if i dont have too. I have tried some of the reset options I read but none seem to work. I need to find out how to resrt the lamp. If anyone knows how to reset the lamp timer for this model of TV i would really like to know.
Steven says:
June 18, 2009 at 11:42 pm
I replaced my ty-la1000 and now i smell something like plastic burning after about 45 mins to an hour.
Any ideas what it could be? Any way I can check to see if it’s the lamp by itself? TV and picture are perfect otherwise.

I have the Panasonic PT-60LCX64 which I’ve had now for 3.5 years… All of the sudden I’ve noticed it’s not as bright and the darks/blacks are hard to see.. like on a dark movie, it’s hard to see the picture. The lamp replacement light isnt flashing so not sure what it could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

July 5, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Sharon: I had a similar problem but the spot was a red one towards the right side middle of the TV. My TV was under extended warranty and Panasonic diagnosed as a memory problem in the TV that needed upgraded. My TV guy ordered a EE PROM correction tool from Panasonic and connected it and it dumped the memory and installed the upgrade into the TV. Took 10 minutes and working perfectly. Should be no more than a service call. Hope that helps!

If anyone still needs to know how to reset their Panasonic PT-52LCX65 TV without the original remote, here is how I did it.
I didn’t get the original remote when I purchaced the TV. I use a Logitech Harmony 670 remote so I don’t really need the Panasonic remote. I simply assigned the PIP/Split comand in the Logictech software to one of the unused buttons on my all in one remote. Then I pressed the Vol – button on the TV while holding down the button where the PIP/Split command was assigned. The TV then displayed a message saying the hour meter had been reset.
Hope this helps.
Kathy says:
August 1, 2009 at 8:12 pm
I hope someone can help me. I have replace my lamp and I was having the same trouble as a lot of people with the reset your lamp meter notice. I do not have the orginal remote so I pressed and held the volume button down and pressed the zero for 5 seconds. I could not get it to work. If any one knows how to help please let me know.
Thanks so much

I lost the remote to my PT-44LCX65, bought a new on ebay, held the volume down button on the TV itself and then held the SPLIT button on the remote. After a couple of seconds, the timer was reset and the red LAMP LED went out. I was having a heck of a time trying to get the TV on the last couple of months after I changed out the bulb. Haven’t had the TV off yet since the kids are watching a new cartoon. Will post the news after they got to bed.

Hi, My TV one day just did not turn on – I put a new lamp I assumed that it might be the problem seeing as thats the only thing I’ve ever had to do is replace the lamp – well the TV light keeps flashing green for a minute or so then starts flashing red none stop I’ve disconnected the TV for a couple of days and tried holding the VOL – and SPLIT and nothing seems to help
ScratchNerd says:
August 18, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Yup! Had the same problem reseting timer…tried everything already posted here, and the one ^above^ works! Hold the Vol down button on the TV and the split button on the REMOTE for five seconds…it will then show a message “Lamp Hour Meter has been reset to 0″
