I replaced my Sony KDF-46E200 lamp and it worked for a couple hours. Seller sent me another and the same thing happen again. The filament inside would explode. Each time I put the old lamp back in and it worked fine. I asked another seller about this and they said maybe I have a ballast problem. If there was a problem somewhere else then why does the old lamp work? Confused!

    I purchased lamp on E-bay, seller saying it is a new replacement lamp (Phillips bulb). Read all the reviews and customers gave good reviews. Is the only way is to buy from Sony?

Did you bought the original lamp or compatible lamp or second hand /refurbished lamp. If its compatible lamp then,in some cases the compatible lamp does not support.If its second hand/refurbished lamp then in some cases,the second hand lamp bulb are actually used lamp,so this lamp has very few hours left in it.In that case if works for few hours,but when this few hours gets completed the bulb explodes.---------- Confirm if you are getting brand new original lamp from sony.Get original sony lamp.Keep updated with the details.Thanks.Helpmech.

    Getting original lamp is much advisable.---------- Now why the bulb explode. Read this " When the bulb life come to end,at that time the indication comes on screen,that lamp replacement is needed.But still the same lamp can be used further for few more hors.As the hours gets less the second indication comes as lamp replacement is very much necessary.At this time lamp hours gets very less,so now lamp has to be replaced.If not not replaced the lamp gets exploded." So if the seller takes the lamp out when he gets first indication to replace the lamp,then it will works for few hours or may be few days then the bulb will explode.so in your case,most probably this has happened.When the lamp is original, it has full lamp hours and it last longer. Getting new original Sony lamp is advisable.----------- This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

I replaced the lamp on the sony KDF E60A20 XL 2200U about 2-3 months ago and the lamp has blown out again. What is causing this to happen?

Three things can cause this.
1 Abrupt loss of power to the set such as a power outage while watching it.
2 A generic replacement lamp
3 A defective lamp supply ( ballast )

Problem for Sony Grand WEGA KDF-55WF655. Hello,

5 times Red LED blinks means Lamp Driver Error. (KDF-55WF655)
2 possible reasons, either Lamp is gone or Ballast Supply got bad.
Replace lamp first, in most cases it solved the problem.
How old is this TV and did you replaced lamp recently?
Thanks.

Occasionally goes off and on. Picture is fine though.

It is Lamp that causing that error and turns TV Off and On again because weak lamp requires more current so ballast supply protection activated with lamp drive error code.

You should replace Lamp in TV and should buy original Sony lamp from Sony Accessories Store and avoid aftermarket / cheap lamp.
