1) In standby mode, press the buttons on the Remote Commander sequentially, in rapid succession:

[Display] , Channel [5] , Sound Volume [+] , Power [ON]

2)To enter BE-micro service mode menu, press JUMP 2 times.

3) To display the lamp time, press Channel[4]
The screen displays:
“ Total lamp time is 14 hours”

4) To display the lamp time clear, press Channel[5]
7 times and Channel[1].

To reset the lamp time press Channel[3] > [MUTE] > [ENTER].
WRITE (Character color is red) is momentarily displayed and the lamp time is reset to “0”.

This worsk for other Somy retroprojection TVs as well, eg. KDF-E50A10 , KDF-E50A11 etc.

If you goto eserviceinfo.com you'll get the whole service manual

HTH!

    I did this and it did all you said (the red WRITE) but now I can't get the stuff that was displayed off the screen. Please help me, I'm at my wits end.

In regards to my Sony KDF-E42A10 I heard a pop and the picture and sound went out. The green light just blinks and there is no picture or sound. What could be the problem?
I disagree with info given by expert.
