It is telling you that you need a new backlamp or that the power supply that feeds it is out. It could be bad Chinese capacitors or you may actually need a back lamp. The hint was when it was working did the side edges have a darker brightness to them? If yest the lamp is needed. If no then the capacitors in the backlamp supply may have decayed.

Hi,do you hear any strange noises? If you hear clicking or like wanting to turn on it could be the board that powers the lamp it's called the ballast.Here's the instructions to replace it :http://www.fixyourdlp.com/guides/samsung/bp47-00033a.php But if you don't hear any strange noises,tv is around 6000 hrs,2-4 yrs it could be time to replace the lamp.The lamp you need is BP9600826A you can find it here: http://www.discount-merchant.com/Samsung-BP96-00826A-Lamp-Enclosure-p/samsung-bp96-00826a-lamp-enc.htm?Click=48173 .Have a blessed one!

Hello! If you haven't replaced the lamp before, I recommend you do it, since it's already 4 years old. If you already replaced it, there is a possibility you might be having a ballast issue. The ballast is the board in charge of sending all the power to the lamp so it can light up. www.discount-merchant.com/?Click=48427 These part are not that expensive and will get your TV up and running.

Hi,

I understood that the TV goes on protect mode (standby) when the control pcb is connected.

Please provide details on TV model and details on control pcb. If control pcb is a control board with touch button , look for components shorting with the chassis. If you are talking about digital controller board (big main board) then one of the parts connected to board is faulty.

Its most likely an intermittent lamp. The lamp door is located behind the front panel. The front panel can be removed after loosening the two thumb wheels located on either end of the TV in the rear. Observe the light coming from the area around the lamp door. If you see that the light is going out, its the lamp. You can also access the self-diagnosis menu by using the remote control. Start with the TV off. Push the "mute", then the number 5 button, and then the volume down button followed by the power button. When the picture appears, the menu will been visable. If there is a failure with the lamp, or a fan, or many other areas in the TV there will be a number value to the right of the parameter that indicates the number of times the error has occurred.

it means you need to replace a lamp when it says that

All symptoms in your TV shows that you need to replace its Lamp as it has been consumed its life hours and TV requires new lamp. Lamp can be obtained from Sony Website. Price is $200, Hope this info will help you to enjoy your Sony TV in coming days.

I had the same problem a little over a year ago. It was the lamp. It needed to be replaced. I hope you have the extended warranty.

Power issues (Tv not turning on) were typically due to faulty ballast. While the TV reports a bad lamp it is the ballast itself causing the issue. Samsung is well aware and will replace both the ballast and the lamp (since the lamp can be prematurely aged but the bad ballast). After replacment most people stop having issues.
