NEW LAMP WORKED FOR TWO HOURS AND TURNED OFF

Postby slotkesk8r » Sat Jun 26, 2010 7:21 am

samsung hlt5676sx
2 1/2 years old.
Turned off one day and when tried turning on... tries to reboot a few times then 3 flashing lights.
Bought new lamp and installed.
Worked perfect for a few hours and then screen went blake.
Lamp is not on and won't turn on. 3 lights are flashing.
Took off back panel of tv and vaccuumed out all of the dust for the fans and everywhere else.
When I plug it in then light IN FRONT of the tv comes on and both fans come on and makes one click, the lamp light flashes green for standbye I think and the lamp never comes on.
Tries rebboting 3 times then all 3 lights flash. Damm

Hello slotkesk8r.
Have you reset the lamp timer? You may not know of its existence, but there is a small program inside your TV that keeps track of the amount of hours the lamp is in use.
When it reaches a certain limit, the TV will shut itself of and prevent from turning on for security reasons.

if this doesn’t fixes the problem, let me know it you hear any wired noises coming from the back of the TV.
Good luck.
Remember Knowing Is Half The Battle !
