Re: HLN467w Keeps Blowing Lamps

Okay, so today my lamp came. and I just put it in. When I plugged in the tv, before I even tried to turn it on, the lamp light blinks green and the temp light blinks red. and they blink at the same time not alternating. Is there a post of the different light codes and what they mean?

Re: HLN467w Keeps Blowing Lamps

Ok, I have a Phillips lamp on the way. The one that blew right away was an offbrand. When I bought the tv (used) it had that same offbrand lamp in it and it lasted me almost 2 years. How exactly do you test a ballast? I might not have the correct tools but I'm sure I know someone who does.

RCA 61" DLP: Should I buy it?

So on my local craigslist there's a 61" RCA DLP for sale for $50. It started at $150 and has slowly fallen to $50. On the post it says he thinks its a "bulb" but is unsure. He says when you turn it on there is sound, but "blue lights flash 5 times on the screen, then a pause, the...

Re: HLN467w Keeps Blowing Lamps

First of all sorry for the double threads, after starting the first thread I didn't see that a moderator had to approve it before it would show up, so I started the second one, then saw the notice. So it could be a ballast that blew my lamp? I always thought that a ballast would get weaker over time...

Re: Poor picture/color quality

I am trying not to thread-jack anyone, but the moderator won't approve my thread, so I'm not getting any help. Is there something I have to do to get it approved?

DLP Keeps Blowing Lamps

So my HLN467w's lamp went out. No biggy right? Wrong. I ordered an off-brand replacement off ebay (I know a lot of people don't t...
