Usually a bad optical light engine in the set, most expensive part of the set.

The ballast is possible if it does not light the lamp even for a few moments----about the lamp= generic bulb or a OEM Toshiba lamp unit?

Vertical lines would suggest a problem with the optical light engine which might not be cost effective to replace---check to see if problem on ALL inputs.

CK the Lamp Fan if it stops running Lamp will not light and if thats ok Ballast Board it is what turns Lamp on!

file name is 2007sen069.zip, someone else found you cannot use an sd card larger than 2 gig file is here h t t ps://w w w . rapidshare . com/files/4153045258/2007sen069.zip

If you are refering to the 3 yellow blinks repeated over and over the boot data is corrupted. Download the firmware update from Toshiba and unzip the files and folders,copy the unzipped files & folders to a SD card (like a camera uses, don't use bigger than a 2 gig). Unplug the tv and insert the card into the slot hidden behind the cover above the HDMI inputs. Plug in the tv and watch the yellow blinking stop and a solid blue will light when done. Unplug the tv, remove the card,plug in the tv and all will be good.

Wondering if you got the problem fixed. I'm having the same.

Sounds like you need to replace your Lamp

One this model it is usually a damaged optical light engine, the second most expensive part in the set.

I don't know if one is even available for this model but you usually are better (since those chips average 200) to replace the light engine completely---if a problem in the engine it can damage the display chip again in exact same way.

I realize this is an old post, but if you are looking for a solution you might try this. It has yet to fail for the 3 yellow blinks. If you are seeing the 3 yellow blinks repeated over and over the
boot data is corrupted. Download the firmware update(link below)from Toshiba and unzip the files and folders,copy the unzipped files & folders to a SD card (like a camera uses,I used a 2 gig). Make sure it is a SD card because an SDHC will not work. Unplug the tv and insert the card into the slot hidden behind the cover above the HDMI inputs. Plug in the tv and watch the yellow blinking stop and a solid blue will light when done. Unplug the tv, remove the card,plug in the tv and all will be good. You could now install the update per it's instructions if you wish. Enjoy !!!

May want to retire this set---the white dots are a problem in the Optical light engine this model uses and that is a very expensive part---it may or may not also be the on/off issue.

Google for "how to build............." as this question is posted in the TV area.

not the lamp and lamp door is closed--double check lamp to make sure it is not shattered inside and is correctly inserted.Other than that the possible reasons are Bad ballast that fires lamp, power supply board problems in the set or even a bad optical light engine or fan or fans not running.

If the model number (Toshiba 65HM167) is correct the dots are a damaged Optical light engine.These early units were DLP but had a 1/4 of a million micro mirrors in the optical unit--if they do not open and close correctly you get dots---seen some with 15 or more dots.
