The person I purchased this t.v from is saying the lamp was just replaced, but the FINAL WARNING REPLACE BULB AND RESET TIMER message pops up every time I power the tv on. She said she forgot to reset the timer.Then why is the message still warning to replace the lamp???

The lamp time reset will be or should be in the owner manual---Google the model number with keywords "lamp install" with the model number and the "manual" with the model number---Google can be a great help.

Look through the settings to see if there is a reset option for warnings or for lamp warnings. Many products with lamps require you to not only replace the lamp but to reset the warning.

Did you reset timer after replacing lamp?
