I have a LG RU-44SZ61D DLP TV and recently replaced the bulb. After about two months the TV went really dim and then started shutting off. The problem increased to the point where you couldnt have the tv on for more than five minutes before it would shut off. When it would shut off the Lamp indicator would flash five times. I replaced the bulb again thinking it was a defective bulb and the problem was fixed for about two weeks. Then on a couple rare occaissions the tv wouldnt turn on, It would try to turn on for about a minute and then turn off and the lamp indicator would flash five times. Now the problem has gotten so bad I cant turn the tv on. When I press the power the status indicator light goes from red to blink yellow/orange as it always does during start up. Does this about a minute and then turns back to red and the lamp indicator comes on and flashes red five times. I hear it click and can hear the color wheel wind up.

DLP Proj TV RU-44SZ61D - Replaced fan. Temp light blinks once when lamp starts and then lamp shuts off. Then temp light blinks once (rest) twice (rest) until the fan turns off. Any ideas?

Those blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
Search the site by type in the "brand name" of your device, in the "Search box at the top right of the Homepage" to get gathered related posts.

Replacing the lamp module on a LG Projection TV, model 44SZ61D

Vacuum out any dust that is in the Lamp compartment.Do not touch the lamp with your hands or fingers. Use a cloth or gloves. The oil from your skin will cause the lamp to prematurely burnout.Similar to handing a Halogen Lamp.

I have an LG DLP. that turns off after 15 -30 seconds

If the second light is blinking to orange or red, that is usually the lamp indicator light on an LG DLP tv. That indicates your bulb needs replaced, or something surrounding the bulb has failed (like the cooling fan for the bulb for example) IF you have a spare bulb handy, I'd replace the bulb, keeping in mind if you touch any part of a new bulb with your bare hands, you just cut the life of the bulb by more then half.

Most likely you can have 1 or 2 problems.
1! the light is busted and you will have to replace that. You might also need to check your cooler fan bearing as you indicate it makes noise.

Lg-ru44sz63d

I have been having the same issue with mine. After reading this solution, I tried just this... I pulled out the bulb holder (with bulb) and shook it. Once I put it back in it worked. My LG is not quite 3 years old but I first had this issue about 7 months in with increased frequency of the problem.
