I replaced the lamp on my XGC55X Sharp Projector and it worked great for 2 nights (roughly 6 hours). Now it goes to warm up, with the lamp light blinking, and will power down with the status button showing red. How do I get it to work?

Have reset the lamp hours after installing the new lamp? If, not the projector has treated the new lamp as old lamp & refusing to light further. So, reset the lamp hours to zero. To reset the lamp timer do as follows. Plug the power cord into the AC socket of the projector. Switch ON the power of the socket. (not projector) While pressing simultaneously MENU/HELP, ENTER & DOWN (button near MENU/HELP) on the projector, press STANDBY/ON on the projector. "LAMP 000H" is displayed, indicating that the lamp timer is reset. If this does not correct your problem then the problem lies in other area. Let me know so that further I can provide you solution. Above things are preliminary.

hi ,
Do one thing just reset the lamp hour of your projector. For resetting the lamp hour do the following.

While simultaneously holding down the Right arrow ( >) button and Auto sync button on the projector press Power ON button and Left arrow ( button . The lamp hour will indicate zero.
If doesn't work you have to replace the lamp.
Remember on thing Lamp hour reset is recommended only after the lamp replaced. so try to replace the lamp if it work after the resetting procedure.
ok
