I got an older jvc that blinks and shuts down says lamp

SOURCE: JVC TV lamp indicator light blinking new lamp

if you purcased a LTI lamp then the possibilty of a bad lamp may be the case. LTI lamps are cheap and are poorly manufactured. if it is a JVC lamp then you may have further problems such as lamp balast, or thermal sensor. clean the fans and filtersfor better air flow. keeping the lanp cool is important for the life of the lamp.

This is the shutdown code for the lamp ballast. I would have a technician verify ballast is bad and replace. This can be a tricky repair for a novice because installation of the ballast requires that you remove the light engine. Hope this helps.

you have a bad lamp or balast

I was having the same problem and my boyfriend change the lamp. After we changed it the light was still blinking until he came and put the cover back on from the lamp and the tv started to work. If you are not putting the cover back on the tv is going to work.

when both the blue light and red light are blinking it means 1 of 3 things. 1. lamp replacement. This often works everytime for the repair. TIP!!! DO NOT USE ANY OTHER LAMPS OTHER THAN JVC AUTHENTIC LAMPS. ANY OTHERS AND YOU RISK DAMAGING YOUR TV FURTHER. 2. the fans are not working properly or need to be replaced. They need to be cleaned every so often and they will stop working from burn-out if not done so. This repair will cost you less than 100 dollars. 3. The ballasts are defective and need to be replaced. The ballasts themselves run about 150 dollars. I tell you I have fixed this TV more times than I care to count, not to mention the number of lamps I have gone through. The guy at the TV repair place now knows me by name when i come to buy lamps. :(
