Panasonic PT-50LC13 Power Light Blinking Yellow

Hello,

When I power up my pt-50LC, the power button blinks green at first and then starts blinking a yellow/amber color, two quick blinks followed by a pause. The set does this until I disconnect the power. Anyone have a suggestion on what might be wrong? The bulb is still under warranty so I pulled out the bulb to send it in for a new one and it looks like brand new. Can the bulbs burn out and still look good?

Thanks.

    when i push the power button on it flashes green and then flashes yellow, it clicks as if it is trying to light the lamp after it does this a couplr times it the flashes red and then shuts off, but as it is flashing red, the lamp light turns red for a second. does this generally mean that the lamp is burned out? is anything else suppost to happen? like a fan turn on, or anything else?

    Thet v works for about 5 min. Then the picture go off and a yellow/amber starts to blink. If i pull out the power plug and wait for a few minutes the picture will come on again but only for a while. Shortly, iT will shut down and again I have to go through the whole cycle .

Yes very seldom do the lamps even look like they have been used, and unfortunately there is no way to test a lamp short of putting it in a known working set. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Panason PT-50LC13 TV won't come on, light blinks green then red

Ballast failure is more that likley the problem. Is the lamp light blinking,...once every 5 seconds? Discontinued part and can only be purchased used or rebuilt. Rebuilt units are available, check Ebay. Have a service type person confirm problem before throwing good money after bad!

My Panasonic PT- 50LC13 doesn't turn on

Your service manual on page 82 steps you through decoding the blinking
1) there are two lights on the front near the reciever of the remote signals (Temp indicator and Lamp Indicator)
2) If the Temp indicator is on then they recommend you contact a service center
3) If the Lamp indicator is on and the power light stays on (no blinking) then you need to replace the lamp. Otherwise it says to contact the service center.
4) Counting blinks with the lamp indicator (1 every 5sec - lamp will not light or is abnormal, 2 every 5sec - lamp voltage is abnormal, 3 every 5sec - lamp temp is too high, 4 every 5sec - other error)
