take it to a repair shop for a proper diagnosis of the problem the set uses very old technology and will be more expensive to run then the latest LED units make the decision after you are acquainted with the repair costs and running costs of a new unit ( remembering that there is a warranty period with the new unit as well)

Could be either the bulb has burnt out or the bulb ballast needs replacing. I have the 5687 set and it is dynamite. Check out ebay for better prices on replacements.

I have one of these and it cut on but nothing show up on screen and light is good

Look on You Tube as they have video instructions by model number, most places that sell the wheel also have instructions,

Try to check the bulb if defective, if the lamp is defective try to replace it, after replacing the lamp be sure to reset the lamp hour meter. good day and best regards. Hope this may help.

You need to unscrew some of the back covers. The parts are too crouded, it is not easy to replace the lamp in this TV. better to call a TV man.

Hi,

3 blinking led light at the front panel is an error code for lamp malfunction. If you've already replaced the bulb and yet the symptoms remain the same, then high chance that the fault came from the ballast board because the supply voltage is present.

Confirm if the bulb will lit upon powering on the unit. Open the lamp cover, bypass the lamp cover switch by putting tape to make it in closed position (making it still the lamp cover is attached to the housing) and then power on the unit. Check if the bulb will ignite or will light up, if not, you have to replaced the ballast board.

Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
