Lamp went bad i replaced the lamp and cleaned the color wheel (with ear bud). After replacing the lamp the projector tries 5 times to start the lamp or the color wheel. But after no success for 5 times the red light starts blinking. The initial sound comes as if the color wheel has started to rotate but does not achieve its full speed so the lamp does not start.

The lamp ballast which ignites the lamp has failed it sounds like. The red flashing lamp is the tell tale sign with a good lamp installed. Make sure the lamp door is closed too, there is a door switch that can also trigger the red lamp and no startup. There is a company in San Diego CA that can repair the unit called PROJECTOR DOCTOR

Make sure the main power switch is OFF. Hold the "ON", "MENU", and "VOLUM -" buttons at the same time and turn the main power switch on. Keep them held until the yellow power standby light comes on, then let go. It is done.
This works for Toshiba TDP T-9
