My Sony plasma tv made a pop sound and now picture is dark.

yes bulbs dont smell unless they pop plus its 3 bulbs in there, plus the tv would still have power/standby lights, and it's not that type of smell, replace the bulb but im sure this will not fix the problem, also my experience with dlp set it is often not worth repair, good luck you need more help or question just ask good luck

should have unplugged it when you noticed the smell.

UNPLUG and remove and look at lamp you installed--is something in the housing where lamp goes melted? I hope you did not touch the face of the bulb with your hand or fingers.

What ever is wrong find it before trying to use set again.

Shop around for the Big Screen repair Tech. Shop.The problems u discribing,the tv have more than a dead projection bulb.Circuits boards have burn components,must be trouble shoot and replace first.Before even know the static of the projection bulb.

Bulb may have popped. Cheapest fix, unless your an electrician it the only thing to really try before replacing set.

get real bright flashlight shin close to the screen in dark roomand try to push the menu button if its the bulb you'll see some picture with flash light shining that shows your backlight is out

Ur backlight video inverter board it totally burn PCB,must be replace,might have to check for other boards ,because major burned.

sounds like your y and z drive boards over heated and need replacing...

Usually, yes. A bulb that has audibly 'popped' will be apparently bad if you pull it out of the TV (shattered). Other times this is a lamp ballast board.

Sounds like the bulb popped up... does it smells like there something that burned? any error light?
