My late uncle taught me to "Just look at it, and figure it out."

Will give it a shot in a few days. Have to clear some other projects from my desk.

Thanks again for your help.

Tried the reset by removing lamp overnight and unplugging. No significant improvement. :roll: Even though I know residential wiring and have even replaced stuff "hot", I'm a bit leery of opening the bigger access panel on the back as I seem to remember there is some pretty nasty amperage i...

Thanks

RE" Are you getting any kind of sound like buzzing or clicking when ignition fails? No, just flashing yellow indicator and TV tries to restart for eight times. Then you have to hit the reset (message is lamp problem - duh) Lamp timer??? Don't see anything about that in the manual. Maybe asking ...
