Is Worth Fixing Panasonic PT-50LC13-K Rear Projector TV

Lamp could be bad or its a power supply problem

The power pack the the power cord goes into has gone bad and needs replaced, see manufacturer for service or parts.

Ok---let me describe something and you tell me if your case: Set comes on and has audio--after 2-5 minutes if you look closely at the screen do you see a odd and faint band of noise top to bottom and to the right of the center of the screen?

It takes a couple minutes and will be faint and easy to miss.

Let me know what you see.

check the lamp adf the 4 fans

same problem here mine is not a plasma just normal tv was working all fine turned it off came back in an hour turned it on just black screen all channels work with all sound

Model PT-50LC13?
Replace the lamp .
There is instructions in the owners manual.
Panasonic P/N : TY-LA1000 $150.00

Power on the set, listen for afaint buzzing sound as the set tries to fire up. If you do not here it then your lamp driver, or ballast is most likely faulty. Also make sure you have the door and all covers back in place and secure. And make sure you insatlled an orginal panasonic lamp because some generic will not work.

It could be the ballast that is bad. A bad ballast also shortens the Lamp life .

Hey Ben, The TV is alerting you it is about time to change your light bulb, it will keep on doing this until the light bulb just dies.
Order your Bulb via On Line at any of the places, there are different prices, but average for the authentic one with the chasis included is @ 260.oo and only takes @ 5 days to get delivered. You can save up to 140.oo if you just order the pure light bulb, and go the extra mile changing it, I just explain someone how to about it, only takes you 30 mins. Good look, I hope I get help for my problem too.

We just replaced new bulb and screen was on for about an hour. Turned off TV and tried to turn on later, but now no screen. Do you know what has happened or what I can do?
