Replaced lamp but red idicator light is still on lamp didnt light up

If the key indicator stays on this usually indicates there is a DTC failure code. If it comes on when you turn on the key and stays off for only four seconds then goes out and comes back on for an eight-second period. This indicates a DTC is stored, but no current DTC exists. If the lamp remains on beyond the eight-second period, a current DTC exists. You need to get a manual to know how to retrieve the code and to look up what the code means.

power board damaged replace bad capacitor

I have seen this problem caused by a bad ballast or power supply board, I usually replace both at the same time, or a cooling fan is not coming on. Can be tricky trying to figure it out if you are not a technician.You can call 1-800-samsung to find the nearest service center.

I have searched and searched on how to reset the timer. Most solutions say you have to press and hold the volume down button on the tv while also holding down the zero button on the remote, or the pip or split button on the remote until the screen display reads that the timer has been reset to zero or the lamp and power button both flash.

I have tried every combination and cannot seem to reset my lamp timer. If you figure it out, please share it with us!! I'm frustrated and can't get it to work!!

Had similar problem. Thought it was the lamp. Examined old lamp but it appeared to be good. Ordered a new one anyway. Changed the lamp but the TV screen would not come on. It would make the usual noise as it was going to come on normally but it would cycle 3 times & then turn off. The LED lights in the front panel would indicate a defective lamp. Then read about the ballast. Changed the ballast & still same problem. Tried starting the TV without the lamp installed & noticed that the color wheel did not spin. Removed old color wheel & discovered it was broken. This appears to be the cause of all of my problems. I wish I new earlier of the test-turn on the TV without the lamp being installed & check to see if the color wheel is spinning. Would have save money on the lamp & ballast.

it may take some serching but in your owners manual there is a section that will tell you how to reset your maintence indicator lamp.

take your bulb to a tv repair shop they should charge u about $10, That is the only way to test them

Let me know, have you installed Original Sony lamp or refurbished from some where?
Sony Genuine Lamp is available on Sony Direct Accessories @ $200.00

Hi there

This sounds like a faulty Powersupply.

Before replacing it , try replacing the fuse on the board first.

hold light and lock buttons until lamp blinking release and lamp turns off no it is reset.
