Trouble turning on...

Postby dlppunisher » Wed Mar 04, 2015 6:46 pm

My HLS6188WX has started acting up..where it takes multiple tries to turn on. It goes through the whole boot up process and ends with 3 lights flashing in the front. I then try to power on again and again and eventually it stays on.

I do notice the lamp trying to light up but it turns off. On those many attempts.



I initially happened with my original lamp and I changed it and this still occurs.



Any help would be great.

Hello,



how long ago did you replace it? and if so was this with a genuine Philips bulb? (This is the brand of lamp Samsung uses).



If this is still happening after putting an OEM lamp in, this is most likely the ballast..



Are there any odd sounds coming from the tv ? mostly during ignition or while its cycling? This can help determine if the ballast is failing
