I replace the lamp for the panasonic pt50lc13 now it is just flashing green. what did I do wrong and how do i reset the lamp

This model was recalled by Panasonic-----massive recall. Start by having the lamp examined or tested---that is the place to begin.

This model (pt50lc13) was subject and part of a massive recall by Panasonic and the main problem was the Ballast which powers the lamp had repeated failures where it destroyed the lamp over and over again.

If lamp bad again (should have a warranty on that from where you bought it) the ballast should be dealt with---there is a kit for this but not for a novice at this kind of repair.

please check the thermal fuse just above the lamp and see if it is open you will require a ohm meter.

How old is this tv?<br />Did you replaced its lamp in last 2-3 years?<br />I think your tv needs lamp replacement.<br /><br />

Did you reset the lamp timer?

You may need to replace the lamp, and if this is the case make sure you pbtain information to reset the lamp use hours so that the tv will recognise that their is a new lamp in the unit, Good Luck.

probably lamp gone out. You can change it youself if you still have owners manual should have directions, if not most lamps have instructions in box.

From the info you gave, it does sound like the lamp is bad. The sound you hear is the ballast trying to ignite what used to be a lamp. The lamp is assessable throught a 6x6 cover usually in the rear of the set held on by usually two screws. After the cover is off ( with a flashlight ) locate the screws(2) that hold the lamp housing in, remove those and it should slide out. Make sure you unplug the set first and remember to reset the lamp timer witch is located in your owners booklet after your done with the set on.
