WD 73727 blinking red light

[tinner105]

I enjoy fixing things and got this TV free.
no remote or manual. So ive been on the web found the manual.
turned it on and then i got a flashng red light. pulled a code 36 - Exhaust or Lamp Ballast Fan failed

I checked all of the fans with a 12volt power supply and they work.

So I'm looking for advice on how to proceed.

any help would be appreciated

Hello,
first rule of thumb is how old the lamp is? second it can be the actual Ballast (since it is not igniting the lamp the TV gives you the lamp indicator light)...
hope this helps
