My sony tv will not stay on after replacing the lamp. It turns on, then shuts off and the power light blinks red. I have taken the lamp out and reinserted it numerous times since this is the indicator that the lamp is incorrectly placed. PLEASE HELP!

What is the exact model number to your Sony WEGA?

Hi,did you close the door cover?Make sure itsproperly shut other wise it won't tv light up. Reset the lamp
timer? you can do this by unpluging the set for 5 min
and plug it back(works for most sets). Was the fan
running ok? You can clean it w an air pressure
can. If you heard clicking or like wanting to turn on the problem could be with the board that powers the lamp.The board it's called the ballast.If its not able
to provide the power to the lamp it will not turn it on
and the red light will blink.Also did you get the original Philips lamp if you got a generic that
could be your problem.God Bless you!

I too have a Sony KDS-R60XBR1 tv and the issue that you are experiencing is due to one of your fans in the rear of the tv is not working.  The tv automatically shuts off in protective mode.  Make sure the POWER/STANDBY light is blinking and not the lamp light below it.  Is the power/standby blinking 4 times in red? If, yes then its a fan that needs to be replaced.  If its the lamp light blinking then you need to replace the lamp.  The lamp is easy to replace by ordering the lamp either from Sony for $250 or find it cheaper for approx. $150 from other DLP sources and replace youself by following your manual.  I hope this helps you.

Sounds Lamp is weak in this TV.
Please replace lamp and procedure is written in TV user manual.
