Red "lamp" light stays on

Panasonic DLP TV Bulbs

Make sure its an original Osram or Philips bulb inside the housing. If its a cheap lamp it will act this way. If it is an original lamp, then you may have a power supply issue. It shouldn't affect your TV but you may want to try resetting the lamp timer by following the instructions that came with the lamp.

TY-LA1001 Timer reset

While pressing the VOL- button on the projection display, hold down the number 0 button on the remote control at the same time for more than 5 seconds.

The lamp life becomes 0%, when used
for approximately 4,000 hours with "Eco
Mode" or when used for approximately
2,000 hours with "Standard Mode" (see
page 43).

When the remaining lamp life becomes
5% or less, " " (yellow) will be displayed
on the screen. When the percentage becomes
0%, " " will change to " " (red),
the lamp will automatically turn off and
then the projector will automatically enter
the standby mode. At this time, the
lamp indicator will illuminate in red.

If you try to turn on the projector a fourth
time without replacing the lamp, the projector
will not turn on.
If you require the manual to help with changing the bulb, send me an email to [email protected] Put SHARP PG-B10S in the subject line. I will send it to you right away. Lawrence Brown

Replace your lamp. The pop you heard was the lamp blowing up.

Replacing lamps can be tricky. Make sure that the lamp is securely installed and you have returned all screws to their same position. Double check latches and doors; if they are not secured properly then the lamp sensor will not recognize that the lamp has been changed. Also, refer to your manual for lamp replacement procedure you may be required to press a series of buttons on the remote or TV control panel to reset the lamp.

brad amie bi,

It certainly sounds like the lamp needs replaced. If your unit is more than 3 years old I would bet on it. I have a tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r4168009-change_lamp_in_dlp_projection_tv which addresses all the problems of replacement and also where to get a quality lamp at a good price.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the great rating.

Lamp light lit, that means TV needs new lamp.
Replace lamp in TV as existing lamp is dead/ broken.
Thanks.

reinstall the lamp, clean the lamp compartment but if still the same, need to call a service tech, possible that its not a lamp

If the red light is the lamp light then the projector lamp is defective.

Guest= Yours seems to be your lamp needs replacing, the buzzing is the lamp inverter trying to start the lamp and the lamp says NO.

I doubt that it is the optical assy. it sounds more like a chassis problem either on the DM or the FMT board.

check out www.tv-techs.com
if it is a chassis problem it will cost about $250.00 plus shipping one way to fix the chassis
