The projection bulb came on,but didn't stay on mean the bulb have problems,dosen't mean projection bulb it still good.First must replace a new projection bulb to make sure for the elimation for the projection bulb is the problems.These DLP tvs require new projection bulb every 1 1/2 or 2 years by watching the tv like 4 or 5 hours daily.So there no lost there for trying a new projection bulb alway can save it for later use.The secound could be the board that call the Ballast board have problems too.The Ballast board only job it is to ignite to the projection bulb and make it work.Replace the Ballast board too,if the tv new projection bulb react the same way.

Is the bulb properly secured as well as the lamp door? Sometimes if just the lamp is replaced into the old housing, it is easy to mix up the securing screws and have a longer one where it does not belong and as a result not allowing the housing to push in all the way.
If all is well, then I would suspect a bad ballast and/or bad power supply, but just buying a new one may be an expensive route. If you are able to, check them visually to see if any capacitors on these boards are bulged, blown or popped. If so, then there is the cause of your problem.
Be careful with the voltages and make sure the TV is unplugged before opening. TVs can still hold very high voltages even after unplugged, enough to kill a person, so don't open the TV if you are not comfortable with it. A good repairman should do this instead.

Hello
Surf throug its menu options and come to parential control window. The parential contro default code is 0711. There you can see the option "Reset". Select it, and press enter. All the channels and programmes will be reset to Factory settings. you can adjust allthe settings according to your taste later. OK.

No, that model only supports up to 720p.

Amount that we gave you? I am confused. Anyways please describe the problem in detail so that I can help you resolve it

Hi,
Please replace lamp in tv that is broken to solve tv problem as it was discussed in chat session.
Thanks.

If your TV looks 3D, warped, or distorted it likely has a convergenge problem.
If however it just looks dull, washed out, redish, greenish, or blueish or if it looks like objects on the screen have halos the fluid in the lens has soured.
You can search google for parts or you can get the parts with repair instructions from sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com

Hi little_an320,

This is an indication of out-of-regulation in the power supply section. The very common caused of this fault is the dried-up/leaky electrolytic capacitor in that section. It will drop the supply from normal voltage and will disable the unit and blinking error appear. Sometimes it has a bulged/dome at the top but not all, it is better that you have a capacitor checker/tester to determine its condition. Also, bad solder joints can produce the same symptom, it is hard to spot, you should use table lamp/portable lamp for finding the cold solder. Secondary reason of fault is the open fuse/fusible resistor in series with the output of regulator IC/transistor, shorted/openRegulator IC/transistor, shorted zener diode(all are in the power supply section) and the microcontroller. Best that you check the output voltage of each regulator to determine where the fault came from and narrow the job.

If you don't have necessary tools and test instruments, and can't do the job yourself, I would advice you to look for a professional to troubleshoot the problem. Don't attempt to work in the power supply if you don't know the safety precaution of handling it, there some stored electricity enough to hurt you with a little mistake only.

Also check if your unit is under warranty /extended warranty, avail it because the manufacturer of your unit will fix it for free. Don't open the back panel, this will void the warranty.

Hope I helped you.

Have a nice day!

From the dealer.

Projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Here are more details and solutions for both. Repair kits with instructions are also avail from www.TvRepairKits.com

Common Problem #1) Convergence has gone out

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.

This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.
• TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some pics of convergence problems.

Common Problem #2) CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

no sound on my blue ray player

hi,
first of all check the tint setting on your TV picture menu.
if not get the correct color then, your telivision is a dlp TV that means it have a color wheel in side. if the synchronization of color wheel is not correct this problem can occur. there is a sensor for counting the rpm of color wheel. also have a black mark on the color wheels rotating portion. the sensor scene this black mark for making count. if there is any dust in that portion it will make difficult to the sensor making the counts. you have to remove the color wheel to clean the same.
ok
