you need to reset the lamp timer.

contact manufacturer for warranty /recall

Read the owner manual which explains what it means--Possible lamp?

Based on model number indicated and fact it is not shutting down it most likely is the lamp reaching the end of its 2000 hour life.Original lamps from Mitsubishi last longer than "generic" ones that often have half the life and are not as bright.

Hit the reset button.

Here are the error codes, and the corresponding problem:12 = No error detected, check power supply.32 = Lamp Cover is open.33 = Air filtercover is open.34 = Lamp abnormality36 = Light Engine (DMD or Lamp Fan stopped)37 = Exhaust or Lamp Ballast Fan stopped38 = Lamp Temperature High39 = DMD Temperature High41 = Short is detected44 = DVI cablebetween FMT and Engine disconnectedLamp is first suspect followed by Ballast that drives it.I also suggest the following answer I posted for a similar set be considered:http://www.fixya.com/support/t12296849-turns_off_shortly_after_turn?mt_f=viewFull162

A few of these sets have two mirrors====can we please confirm what the actual model number of your set is?

Unplug set first and wait--plug back and after set boots up see what happens.Remove next the lamp and examine to see if shattered inside.Another common issue is dirt.If the fans and interior are coated with dust the set will detect fans running too slow or air flow restricted and shut down.I have seen ones like this set where a good dusting with a air compressor (don't do it inside) and it will look like a dust storm.I have seen this cure everything from will not stay on to shut down in less than 1 hour.

best advice is wait and see and if it continues see if it does it with a DVD etc hooked up---rules a few things out---

It could be but a couple of other possible reasons---they had problems with this set and its brothers with caps in the main power supply puffing up and causing this "hard to turn on" issue.A second reason is dust/dirt inside the unit.All air is coming in via the front of the set and exits the rear--enough dust gets inside and the fans slow down or the lamp gets too hot and set shuts down---don't try this in the house: we take them with back cover off outside the building (on a ramp) and with air clean them out completely--try not to blow it inside the screen. It looks like a dust storm in most cases but can cause exactly the problem you have.

If it is the Mitsubishi model listed here---not a do it yourself job==entire front frame with screens has to be removed and screens removed==dangerous and delicate as when removed easy to damage and the real problem is if separated when put back together dust or anything will with static electricity try to get between.I would at our shop hazard a guess this would exceed $150 if neither screen now has to be replaced but can be cleaned.

A few things here--if issue is same as before replaced the lamp new lamp could be bad(possible) but if different issue check to see the lamp went in correctly--very easy on these sets when insert the lamp cartridge to bend the two pins it goes into out of the way.Also, in my shop if we see a lot of dirt coming out grill in rear we take the set on a cart outside with the rear cover off and use a compressor to blow all the dust out of the set--it intakes air at front and there are at least three paths to the rear that can get blocked enough for this to happen as well as the 3 fans if dirty will do this also.Cleaning will cure a lot of problems with these and if does not fix at least you know it is not the problem.Check this similar answer: http://www.fixya.com/support/t12296849-turns_off_shortly_after_turn?mt_f=viewFull162

If you removed the plate beneath the screen on front a door should be there or it is possible it is one with the door on back--clearly marked.

Have you check and or replaced the lamp in this set?

Most of these sets that come on with the blue screen and logo and shut off shortly after may have two resets---I can tell you the soft reset.Turn set on with the Mitsubishi remote and when screen comes up blue with logo:Menu, 1,2,3 enterThis applies to most of these sets.

Color wheel if it has one is not sold by itself and the optical engine itself has to be replaced.

What is model number and do you have Mitsubishi remote?Soft reset with set on is for most models : Menu, 1,2,3 enter.
